'''Mr. Game & Watch''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. Because of his rather low standing on the ''[[Melee]]'' tier list, he has been significantly buffed for his appearance in ''Project M''.  He ranks 6th out of 41 on the [[Project M#Tier list|official]] [[tier list]], placing him in the A tier and significantly above his placements in ''Melee'' and ''Brawl'', where he ranks 19th out of 26 and 16th out of 38, respectively. He ranks much lower on the official [[Project +]] tier list, ranking 24th out of 42, near the top of B tier.
'''Mr. Game & Watch''' is a playable characters in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod [[Project M]].
<!--tier position paragraph-->


==Attributes==
==Attributes==
Mr. Game & Watch falls under the general lightweight archetype, being nimble and weak, while having few powerful moves (such as his up smash) that possess high KO potential. He has received a lot of buffs from ''Brawl'', and got a slight re-working of his Side-Special, Judge; adding a few small tweaks to the mechanics of the move to make it easier to predict.


Compared to some other characters, Game & Watch is not as easy to combo as them as a result of being light, small, and floaty.
===Changes from ''Melee'' to PM===
 
Mr. Game & Watch was significantly [[buff]]ed from ''Melee'' to PM.
His inability to be combo'd efficiently, however, is exchanged for being heavily susceptible to juggles and KOs as a result of his light weight (tied with {{PM|Fox}} as the third lightest) and relatively low falling speed, making him extremely easy to KO both horizontally and vertically.
*{{buff|Forward tilt can now be interrupted as quickly as the hitbox diminishes.}}
 
*{{buff|Forward smash is more powerful. The flame sourspot now also links with the attack's sweetspot, dealing more damage, while it has no knockback for the first hit to KO reliably.}}
==Changes from ''Melee'' to PM==
*{{buff|All aerials can now be [[L-cancel]]led.}}
Mr. Game & Watch was significantly [[buff]]ed from ''Melee'' to ''PM''. Various issues he had in ''Melee'' such as his inability to [[L-cancel]] all of his aerials and his extremely small shield were fixed. Some (but not all) of the improvements he had in ''Brawl'' were retained while various moves in his moveset had various adjustments to make them more effective such as an increase in power or speed. His specials also received various improvements. [[Chef]] is much faster, [[Fire]] no longer leaves Mr. Game & Watch [[helpless]] and [[Judgment]] received various changes to make it more effective. Dots now appear above Judgment to show whether the next judge will be an odd or even number and judges 2-8 are significantly more effective. Judge also retains the advanced techniques it gained from ''Brawl''.
*{{buff|Back aerial's hitboxes link better each into other, and the last hit is better at KOing.}}
 
*{{buff|Up aerial has drastically less [[ending lag]], and it now consists of a single hit that can be used rapidly for [[juggling]].}}
Mr. Game & Watch only received a small number of minor nerfs from his ''Melee'' counterpart. He also lacks some of the improvements he had in ''Brawl'' such as the lower landing lag on his aerials and his parachute after using Fire. As well as this, he also maintains the [[grab release glitch]] he received in ''Brawl''.
 
Overall, Mr. Game & Watch is more effective than he was in both games and his tournament results are stronger than they have ever been in other Smash games.
 
===Attributes===
*{{buff|He is significantly heavier weighing the same as he did in ''Brawl'' (60 → 75), no longer being as light as [[Jigglypuff_(PM)|Jigglypuff]] and is now tied with Fox in weight.}}
*{{buff|His [[Shield]] is larger now covering his whole body.}}
*{{nerf|[[Grab release glitch]] from ''Brawl'' has not been removed.}}
 
===Ground attacks===
*{{buff|Forward tilt has less startup lag with a longer duration (frames 13-30 → 10-34), can be interrupted as quickly as the hitbox diminishes (frame 42 → 35), and its sweetspot deals more damage (10% → 13%) improving its KO potential.}}
*{{nerf|Forward tilt now has a weaker late hit (10% → 8%).}}
*{{buff|Up tilt deals more damage (9% → 12%) improving its KO potential.}}
*{{buff|Down tilt has its range from ''Brawl'' and its knockback from ''Melee'', and its aerial hitbox deals more knockback and damage (9% → 10%).}}
*{{buff|Dash attack deals more knockback (70 (base), 30 (scaling) → 60/50), has less startup lag with a longer duration (frames 6-29 → 3-28) and its clean hit deals more damage (10% → 9%).}}
*{{buff|Dash attack is now cancelable, allowing Mr. Game & Watch to [[DACUS]]. Unlike in ''Brawl'' where his DACUS covered no distance, his DACUS covers a decently long distance being the third longest DACUS in ''Project M''.}}
*{{change|Mr. Game & Watch uses a previously unused smash attack charge sound from ''Brawl'' whenever a smash attack is charged.}}
*{{buff|Forward smash has increased base knockback (44 → 50) and less ending lag (frame 42 → 41).}}
*{{nerf|Forward smash has a slightly shorter duration (frames 13-33 → 13-32).}}
*{{buff|Up smash deals more damage (18% → 21%) and has increased knockback growth (96 → 100) making it the second strongest up smash in ''Project M''.}}
*{{nerf|Up smash has more ending lag (frame 40 → 44).}}
*{{buff|Down smash's sourspot retains its power from ''Brawl'' (10% → 13%) (10 (base), 50 (scaling) → 50/66) and the sweetspot deals more damage (16% → 17%) and knockback growth (90 → 132 (grounded), 100 (aerial).}}
 
===Aerial attacks===
*{{buff|All of Mr. Game & Watch's aerials can now be [[L-cancel]]led.}}
*{{buff|Neutral aerial deals more damage (16% → 17%).}}
*{{nerf|Neutral aerial has more landing lag (15 frames → 17).}}
*{{buff|Forward aerial has less staartup lag (frame 10 → 9) and its sweetspot deals more knockback and the sourspot deals more damage (6% → 7%).}}
*{{buff|Back aerial's hitboxes link better into each into other. It also has a longer duration (frames 10-21 → 10-22) and deals more damage due to changes to [[stale move negation]] (18% → 20%).}}
*{{nerf|Back aerial has more landing lag (18 frames → 20).}}
*{{buff|Up aerial now only consists of one hit. Because of this, it has drastically less [[ending lag]] (frame 40 → 18), and it can be used rapidly for [[juggling]]. It also has less startup lag (frame 7 → 3) and it now has a landing hit. It can now [[auto-cancel]] in a short hop and be performed twice in a short hop.}}
*{{change|Up aerial uses its sound effects from ''Brawl''.}}
*{{nerf|Up aerial is significantly weaker dealing less damage (7% (hit 1), 9% (hit 2), 15% (total) → 9%).}}
*{{buff|Down aerial has less ending lag (frame 50 → 42) and its [[meteor]] hitbox deals 1% more damage (14% → 15%).}}
*{{buff|Down aerial's landing hitbox now [[spike]]-bounces.}}
*{{buff|Down aerial's landing hitbox now [[spike]]-bounces.}}
 
*{{buff|His [[Chef]] attack cancels on landing, similar to {{PM|Falco}}'s lasers. It can also toss bigger foods, which deal 15% damage with a [[flame]] effect.}}
===Throws===
*{{buff|[[Judge]] retains its start-up unchanged, but all variations are significantly more powerful: for instance, #2 [[stun]]s foes, #3 causes [[flower]]ing, #5 hits more fluidly and deals higher damage, and #7 heals additional damage. Numbers now also show one or two lights above them, indicating the next uses in which Mr. Game & Watch cannot get the same number.}}
*{{buff|Down throw deals more damage (8% → 10%) and meteor smashes opponents akin to its ''Brawl'' counterpart allowing Mr. Game & Watch to [[tech-chase]] his opponents with it.}}
*{{buff|Although [[Fire]] still lacks the parachute, Mr. Game & Watch doesn't fall [[helpless]] and can act with any action afterwards (except an [[air dodge]]), like in ''Brawl''.}}
 
*{{buff|[[Oil Panic]] has less ending lag after catching a projectile, and will usually [[OHKO]] when it is full. It can also now be used as an attack despite the amount of oil in the bucket.}}
===Special moves===
*{{buff|Down throw retains its ''Brawl'' format, so Mr. Game and Watch can still perform deadly [[tech-chase]]s.}}
*{{buff|Mr. Game & Watch maintains his ability to [[B-reverse]] [[Chef]] and [[Judgment]]. He also retains his [https://youtu.be/l4jgpgeNUNY edge momentum shift technique] (although he can no longer perform it with Chef).}}
*{{nerf|[[Grab release glitch]] from ''Brawl'' has not been removed. Unlike in ''Brawl'', he regains his midair jump, but he still cannot use his up special. This technique can be deadly if his opponent ground releases him at the ledge, which he will be unable to make it back to the stage.}}
*{{buff|[[Chef]] has less startup (frame 16 → 8) and ending lag (frame 50 → 39) and it cancels on landing, similar to {{PM|Falco}}'s lasers.}}
*{{buff|[[Judgment]] numbers 2 through 8 are significantly more powerful. Numbers now also show one or two lights above them, indicating whether the next number will be even or odd - one dot means it will be odd, two dots means it will be even.}}
**{{buff|#2 [[stun]]s foes and causes [[flower]]ing.}}
**{{buff|#3 deals significant shield damage.}}
**{{buff|#4 now semi-spikes with high fixed knockback.}}
**{{buff|#5 hits more fluidly and deals higher damage.}}
**{{buff|#6 is a stronger semi-spike.}}
**{{buff|#7 is a significantly stronger KO move with more knockback scaling than his uncharged up smash and has the potential to heal 20% (10% for the move itself, and another 10% for the apple).}}
**{{buff|#8 does more than double the damage and freezes for longer.}}
*{{buff|[[Fire]] no longer causes [[helpless]]ness and allows Mr. Game & Watch to act with any action afterwards (except an [[air dodge]]), like in ''Brawl'' but without the parachute and ability to air dodge.}}
*{{change|Fire no longer deals consistent damage (6% → 8%/6%/4%).}}
*{{nerf|Fire has a shorter duration (frames 1-37 → 1-29).}}
*{{buff|[[Oil Panic]] has less ending lag (frame 50 → 44) after catching a projectile, and will usually [[OHKO]] when it is full. It can also now be used as an attack despite the amount of oil in the bucket. A full bucket attack now has [[intangibility]] during its first 6 frames.}}
*{{buff|Oil Panic's damage output is retained after Mr. Game & Watch gets KO'd}}
*{{nerf|Oil Panic's maximum damage is now capped at 60%, greatly reducing its damage potential against more damaging projectiles.}}
**{{change|As a result the [[Kamikaze glitch]] is mostly removed outside of damage modifications such as from the Super Mushroom.}}
*{{nerf|Oil Panic has more startup lag (frame 5 → 6) and a full bucket attack has a shorter duration (frames 2-37 → 2-26).}}

The first two meats to appear on the stage are large and possess a very small amount of knockback. If one Mr. Game & Watch already has 2 of his own meats present on stage when using the move again he will only fling small pieces of meat that carry no hitstun, and will continue to fling "Mini-Meat™" until he has less than two meats of any size present. The pan has a hitbox at start up that does fire based damage and is a [[semi-spike]]. The threshold of random flight paths can be limited to the either the first 3 or last 3 of the 5 possible trajectories by holding the control stick up or down (respectively) during the brief period before the meat actually exits the pan.
|-
! colspan=2 | Side special
| [[Judge]] || 1-32% (Varies) || Swings a hammer in front of him and holds up a digital display, with a random number from 1-9. The number displayed reflects the unique effect that the hammer strike will have. Above the digital display will be either 1 or 2 dots: 1 dot means that the next use of Judge will produce only odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, 9), and 2 dots means that the next Judge will be an even number (2, 4, 6, 8). Additionally, Judge cannot produce a number that was already displayed within the past two uses of the move, and a match begins with Judge acting as if the two past uses were a 2, then a 1 (meaning the first use will be neither a 2 nor a 1, and the second hit will be neither a 1 nor the number produced on the first use). This lets players know what to expect from the next Judge with up to 33% certainty and plan accordingly for it. Notably, every even number produces a devastating [[gimping]] effect, and every odd number produces a wide variety of mix-up options.
|-
! colspan=2 | Up special
| [[Fire]] || 8% (clean), 6% (mid), 4% (late) || Jumps upwards off a trampoline held by two firemen. He will damage whatever he hits on the way up, but not on the way down. This move can be followed up with aerial attacks, but he will no longer be able to air dodge.
|-
! colspan=2 | Down special
| [[Oil Panic]] || 10-60% (Based on absorbed attacks) || Mr. Game & Watch holds out a bucket that absorbs any incoming energy-based projectiles. The bucket can absorb up to three projectiles, after which the move turns into a powerful attack that can one-hit KO opponents depending on the strength of the projectiles absorbed. Taking out the bucket immediately halts all of Mr. Game & Watch's momentum once per air state, so the move can also be used to air-stall and recover, a technique known as [[Bucket Braking]]. However, the move will not cancel any momentum if the bucket is full.
|-
! colspan=2 | Final Smash
| [[Octopus]] || 16% || Transforms into the large octopus that appears in its eponymous game, ''Octopus''. Damage is dealt on contact and range can be increased by pressing the attack buttons. The move lasts about 17 seconds and grants Mr. Game & Watch infinite swimming time if he happens to enter a body of water.

===Project+===
[[File:Mr. Game & Watch Palette (P+).png|800px|thumb|center|Mr. Game & Watch's alternate costumes in P+]]
 
As of version 2.5.2, Mr. Game & Watch is the only character in Project+ to only get recolors rather then at least one alternate costume that changes the character's model.
 
'''Black''' ''(default)'': Resembles the characters from the {{s|wikipedia|Game & Watch}} games ''Fire'' and ''Parachute''. He has the general color of the LCD frames in most of the Game & Watch handhelds.
 
'''Red''' ''(Red Team #1)'': Resembles his Red Team color in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] and is the reminiscent of characters and objects as depicted on the {{s|wikipedia|Virtual Boy}}, though this color palette has become much brighter to match with the original Virtual Boy object-depicted screen colors since [[Project M]].
 
'''Yellow'''
 
'''Blue''' ''(Blue Team #1)'': Resembles his Blue Team color in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], though this color palette has become much brighter since [[Project M]].
 
'''Green''' ''(Green Team #1)'': Resembles his Green Team color in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], though this color palette has become much brighter since [[Project M]].
 
'''Cyan''' ''(Blue Team #2)'': Resembles one of his colors in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] and is the reminiscent of the backlit display of the {{s|bulbapedia|Game Boy Light}}, though the outline has been changed into the Teal color since [[Project M]].
 
'''Gray''': This color palette is based on one of the {{s|wikipedia|Game & Watch}} console color schemes.
 
'''Orange''' ''(Red Team #2)''
 
'''Olive''' ''(Green Team #2)'': Resembles one of his colors in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] and is the reminiscent of characters and objects as depicted on the original {{s|wikipedia|Game Boy}}, though this color palette has been more green-ish and with a darker olive-green outline, to match with the original Game Boy screen color since [[Project+]].
 
'''Maroon''': Resembles his Red Team color in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] and is the reminiscent of characters and objects as depicted on the {{s|wikipedia|Virtual Boy}}, though this color palette has become slightly more pink-ish since [[Super Smash Bros. 4]].
 
'''Brown'''
 
'''White''': Reminiscent of the monochromatic LCD screen of the Game & Watch games, also appeared in [[Project M]] and [[Super Smash Bros. 4]].
 
'''Pink''' ''(Red Team #3)''
 
'''Lavender''' ''(Blue Team #3)''
 
'''Teal''' ''(Green Team #3)'': Resembles one of his colors in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]] and is the reminiscent of the backlit display of the {{s|bulbapedia|Game Boy Light}}, though this color palette has become much darker and more saturated since [[Super Smash Bros. 4]].
 
'''Secret costumes:'''
 
[[File:G&W R_P+.png|160px]]
 
'''Z-Secret Costume''': Rainbow Mr. Game & Watch
 
'''R-Secret Costume''': Color-Inverted Mr. Game & Watch - Meant to be the opposite color palette of Mr. Game & Watch's default colors.
