Mr. Game & Watch is currently ranked 19th in ''Melee''{{'}}s [[tier list]], at the bottom of the C- tier, which is his worst placement in the series. Mr. Game & Watch's positive attributes include extremely powerful KO moves that have a long duration as well as a slew of moderately effective special moves, two of which ([[Judge|Judgment]] and [[Oil Panic]]) can [[OHKO]]. However, Mr. Game & Watch's flaws are due to how he was translated to ''Melee''; he has a bad approach due to his slow overall speed, and outside of his throws, his neutral game is rather predictable. His high [[hitstun]] and frailty also make him an easy target for combos. Mr. Game & Watch also has the dubious distinction of being the only character in the game who cannot [[L-cancel]] most of his aerial attacks, and is considered to have the worst [[shield]] in the game, as it fails to completely cover his entire body after even slight damage. All of this gives him very poor matchups against a majority of the cast, especially against higher-tiered characters. | Mr. Game & Watch is currently ranked 19th in ''Melee''{{'}}s [[tier list]], at the bottom of the C- tier, which is his worst placement in the series.
