Overview

This article or section may require competitive expertise. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Mr. Game & Watch swings a lit torch forward. The move is fast and does high damage, which naturally gives it high knockback scaling, allowing it to reliably KO at percentages well under 100%. The move's hitbox also has a long duration, which allows the move to easily cover options from the opponent. This move's extended duration can be used to keep enemies (if momentarily) at bay. Due to its knockback and speed, the move is considered one of the most useful forward smashes in the game.
