The largest benefit Mr. Game & Watch gained in ''Brawl'' were the physics changes, where he is significantly less vulnerable to [[combo]]s, his [[back aerial]] is significantly more useful due to [[hitlag]], and the leaning towards defensive gameplay boosts Mr. Game & Watch's strengths in general. For some of his individual traits, Mr. Game & Watch possesses large and [[disjointed hitbox]]es in most of his attacks, with his attacks being rather fast in [[start-up lag]] and the majority being quite powerful (especially his brutal [[smash attack]]s, all of which can reliably [[KO]] under 100% while none being particularly slow). Mr. Game & Watch additionally possesses amazing survivability for a character of his weight class, as his amazing [[bucket braking]] momentum cancelling gives him the horizontal endurance potential of a lighter heavyweight, while his [[recovery]] covers great distance and provides great protection against [[edgeguarding]]. Mr. Game & Watch also possesses above average movement speed and good mobility, effective [[tilt]]s and [[aerial attack]]s, and a [[down throw]] that can force a [[tech chase]] opportunity on anyone at any percent. While Mr. Game & Watch's attacks are fast in start-up lag, they are particularly heavy in [[ending lag]], with his aerials also all possessing high [[landing lag]] with the exception of his [[neutral aerial]]. His attacks, despite possessing large hitboxes, additionally mostly have poor to mediocre [[reach]]. This results in him being easily punished when his attacks are [[shield]]ed, and complicates safe [[approach]]es. His [[projectile]] is also laggy and short ranged, while being mostly ineffective, preventing him from being able to [[outcamp]] most characters to cover his approaching difficulties. Additionally, he is very susceptible to vertical [[KO]] moves as his vertical endurance is among the worst (Bucket Braking is significantly less effective when launched vertically), his [[grab]] and [[throw]] game is rather poor in general (he possesses one of the shortest reaching grabs and near useless throws outside his down throw), and his [[roll]]s are rather slow while gaining among the shortest distance. Regardless, Mr. Game & Watch's pros outweigh his cons, resulting in overall strong [[matchup]]s, that are dominating against characters below him on the tier list, while being lackluster against characters above him (particularly losing to eight of the top ten characters, while [[Counter (matchup)|countered]] by four of them), and he has achieved above average [[tournament]] results. | ||

===Tier placement and history=== | ===Tier placement and history=== | ||
Mr. Game & Watch was at first considered to be a top tier character, ranking as high as 4th place on the first tier list, which is also his highest placing so far. This was due to his disjointed reach, disproportionately high power, great aerial game and Bucket Braking capabilities, which made him very difficult to KO as well as edge-guard, while also being efficient on both points. His position, however, started to decline starting on the second tier list, where he was ranked at 5th place: while he possessed several advantages that made him a formidable threat, his weaknesses later became more and more exploitable. His largest tier drop occurred on the transition to the fourth tier list, dropping from 8th to 12th from the third one. He would later rise negligibly on the fifth tier list to 11th, before starting to drop again on subsequent versions. Currently, he is ranked 16th on the tier list: while he is still a relatively viable character, his notable disadvantages don't let him easily beat other top tiered characters, most notably Meta Knight, Ice Climbers and Marth, though his strengths are enough to face other top and high tiered threats like {{SSBB|Pikachu}}, {{SSBB|Lucario}}, {{SSBB|Wario}} and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}. | Mr. Game & Watch was at first considered to be a top tier character, ranking as high as 4th place on the first tier list, which is also his highest placing so far.

==Role in [[The Subspace Emissary]]== | |||
[[File:Mr GW Subspace Emissary.jpg|thumb|300px|Mr. Game & Watch in ''[[SSE]]''.]] | |||
The [[Shadow Bug]]s trophy description explains that Mr. Game & Watch embodies a limitless supply of Shadow Bugs inside of him, which can be extracted incessantly. Shadow Bugs are a substance that can [[False character|replicate fighters]] or even create new dark creatures. [[Tabuu]] discovered this and captured Mr. Game & Watch before the events of ''The Subspace Emissary'', using the Shadow Bugs to create the [[Subspace Army]]. | |||
{{SSBB|Snake}}, {{SSBB|Meta Knight}} and {{SSBB|Lucario}} enter the [[Halberd]]'s control room to discover a quintet of false Mr. Game & Watches piloting the ship. Snake quickly charges at them and knocks them all out the window. They fall onto the [[Battleship Halberd Bridge|main deck]], interrupting {{SSBB|Zelda}} (disguised as {{SSBB|Sheik}}), {{SSBB|Fox}}, and {{SSBB|Peach}}'s tea party. The clones then revert to [[Shadow Bug]]s and form into [[Duon]]. Snake and Lucario jump down to help, along with {{SSBB|Falco}} who ejects from an [[Arwing]]. Once the monster is defeated, the Shadow Bugs float away, leaving behind Mr. Game & Watch's trophy. Fox prepares to shoot it with his [[blaster]], but Peach revives him. Upon his revival, Mr. Game & Watch wonders where he is until Peach scolds him for the trouble he created, causing him to look down in shame. Then Peach gives him her [[Peach Parasol|parasol]] to cheer him up. | |||
At the [[entrance to Subspace]], Mr. Game & Watch, along with the rest of his team, prepares to attack Tabuu, but is effortlessly turned into a trophy by the Off Waves. He is later revived thanks to {{SSBB|Luigi}}, {{SSBB|Ness}}, and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}. After that, he accompanies the heroes through [[the Great Maze]] and the showdown with Tabuu. | |||
It was confirmed on the "DOJO!!" that the reason Mr. Game & Watch was manipulated so easily by Tabuu is that he has no understanding of good or evil. | |||
===Playable appearances=== | |||
Mr. Game & Watch first appears in [[Battleship Halberd Bridge]] and then joins the player's team after, but isn't playable until all the characters are reunited with each other after the events of [[The Subspace Bomb Factory (Part II)]], where they then invade [[Subspace]] in [[Entrance to Subspace]]. | |||
