'''Mr. Game & Watch''' ({{ja|Mr. ゲーム&ウォッチ|Misutā Gēmu ando Uocchi}}, ''Mr. Game & Watch'') is a character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. He was designed as a composite representation of various generic characters featured in the ''[[Game & Watch]]'' series, created by {{s|mariowiki|Gunpei Yokoi}} in 1980. He is the last character to be unlocked in the game.
'''Mr. Game & Watch''' ({{ja|Mr. ゲーム&ウォッチ|Misutā Gēmu ando Uocchi}}, ''Mr. Game & Watch'') is a character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. He was designed as a composite representation of various generic characters featured in the ''[[Game & Watch]]'' series, created by {{s|mariowiki|Gunpei Yokoi}} in 1980. He is the last character to be unlocked in the game.


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 top of the F tier and is his lowest 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]] 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, he is rather predictable. His high [[hitstun]] and light [[weight]] 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]] all of his aerial attacks, and is considered to have one of the worst [[shield]]s 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, including three nearly unwinnable matchups, although there are five matchups in his favor.


==How to unlock==
==How to unlock==
Mr. Game & Watch must be defeated in battle before he can be unlocked. There are two ways the player can encounter Mr. Game & Watch:
For players to unlock Mr. Game & Watch, the Classic Mode, Adventure Mode or Target Test has to be cleared with all other characters.
*One way is to clear Classic Mode, Adventure Mode, Target Test, or All-Star Mode with all other characters. If the player fails to defeat Mr. Game & Watch, they can re-fight him by clearing any of those modes again with any character.
 
*Another way is to play 1,000 VS. matches to completion. If the player fails to defeat Mr. Game & Watch, they can re-fight him by playing another VS. match to completion. Mr. Game & Watch will not appear with this method until all the other characters are unlocked.
Alternately, players can play 1,000 versus matches to fight Mr. Game & Watch.
Mr. Game & Watch is fought on the [[Flat Zone]] stage.
 
Mr. Game and Watch must then be fought and defeated on [[Flat Zone]].

Mr. Game & Watch generally acts as a speedy, weak character; however, he does have some incredibly powerful KO moves, most of which are slow (with the exception of his down tilt). Mr. Game & Watch's attributes tend to be scattered; he has an average falling speed, an above average air speed, an average traction, and the second lightest weight in the game. As a result of these attributes, Mr. Game & Watch has a wavedash that grants decent distance and speed.

Mr. Game & Watch's attributes tend to be scattered; he has an average falling speed, an above average air speed, an average traction, and the second lightest weight in the game (second to {{SSBM|Pichu}}, and tied with {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}). As a result of these attributes, Mr. Game & Watch has a wavedash that grants decent distance and speed.
 
Mr. Game & Watch is notable for having unusual properties in most of his attacks; his forward tilt and forward smash, for instance, have [[sex kick]] properties, harming others even after the primary hitbox dissipates. Additionally, his up smash and neutral aerial have long hitboxes that do not run out of power, making them good KO options. Additionally, Mr. Game & Watch has many disjointed hitboxes in his attacks (particularly his down smash), giving him deceptively decent range.


Mr. Game & Watch's aerial game is his strongest asset, as his aerials have large disjointed hitboxes, evident with his neutral aerial, often KO'ing opponents under 125%, while having a very large hitbox that covers him. His forward aerial is his best approaching tool as it can be L-canceled and has fast startup, though it has heavy landing lag when not L-canceled. His back aerial is multi-hitting and has a disjointed hitbox, making it somewhat unpredictable to counter. His up aerial is a two-hit attack, with the second hit having high KO power. It can also be used to juggle fast fallers and heavy characters. Lastly, his meteor smashing down aerial is effective at countering foes from below and KO'ing (the sourspot is slightly weaker than the sweetspot and sends foes on a diagonal trajectory). The down aerial's landing hitboxes add 5%-6% more damage, for a total of 19%-20% if the primary hitbox strikes first.

Additionally, Mr. Game & Watch has many disjointed hitboxes in his attacks (particularly his down smash), giving him a surprisingly and sometimes deceptively good range.


Mr. Game & Watch's specials also allow for significant power; Oil Panic can absorb projectiles and result in a powerful resulting projectile, and his Judgment has near OHKO potential. Mr. Game & Watch also has a rather good recovery from [[Fire]]; despite a lack of options and general predictability, it grants him significant vertical distance. The low hitstun and knockback, as well as an unpredictable trajectory gives [[Chef]] potential edgeguard capability.

Mr. Game & Watch's grab game is also decent, despite his below-average grab range. The resulting trajectories of his throws gives him solid chaingrab and combo potential, and as all his throws look identical, he can perform mindgames on opponents by challenging the player's perception of where they will end up.
Mr. Game & Watch's specials also allow for significant power; Oil Panic can absorb projectiles and result in a powerful resulting projectile, and his Judgement has near OHKO potential, as well as many other options. Adding in with his specials, Mr. Game & Watch also has a rather good recovery from [[Fire]]; despite a lack of options and general predictability, it sends him a significant distance upwards. The low hitstun and knockback, as well as an unpredictable trajectory gives [[Chef]] potential edgeguard capability.


Mr. Game & Watch's main flaw, however, is his awful approach. An awkward dash, mediocre wavedash, and slow, weak tilts on the ground (except for his down tilt) results in him heavily struggling on the ground, causing him to be reliant on dashdancing and foxtrotting to traverse stages. His aerial approach is just as poor; despite an above average falling speed and an average short hop, he has among the worst [[SHFFL]]s in the game, primarily due to the fact that his aerials have significant ending lag, and that his neutral, back, and up aerials have the dubious distinction of not having the ability to be L-cancelled due to a programming error that lists them as special moves.

Mr. Game & Watch's defensive game also suffers; despite a relatively small size and a very low crouch, he is very easy to shield stab due to having the smallest max shield in Melee due to a coding error, and his remaining defensive capabilities are poor, with short, slow rolling dodges and an equally short sidestep dodge. Due to his slow tilts and smashes and mostly situational specials, he has poor out of shield options. His recovery also suffers; despite its respectable vertical distance and average horizontal distance, Fire is very predictable and easy to read, inviting edgeguarding or edgehogging.

Mr. Game & Watch also suffers due to his ability to be easily combo'd; his light weight and high periods of hitstun makes him a viable target for combos and juggles, and his light weight also makes him very easy to KO, only making him more vulnerable.

According to the matchup chart, Mr. Game and Watch has poor matchups overall. He is hard countered by three characters, countered by five characters, and soft countered by nine characters. On the other side of the coin, he has two even matchups, three characters he soft counters and counters two characters. He generally does well on characters who lacks counterplay against his disjointed and powerful attacks, and who do not have the proper tools to take advantage of his flaws. {{SSBM|Fox}}, {{SSBM|Falco}}, and {{SSBM|Marth}} are among his worst matchups, as they have the mobility, KO power, and range to outprioritize nearly all of Mr. Game and Watch's kit and score early KOs. Additionally, his tiny shield and inability to L-cancel aerials makes his defensive game poor overall.
====Current Metagame====
Mr. Game and Watch has held few notable metagame breakthroughs since the matchup chart was implemented: His terrible matchups against top and high tiers remain more or less the same, as they can overwhelm him with speed (Fox, Falco, {{SSBM|Sheik}}), outrange him (Marth), or chaingrab him to death ({{SSBM|Ice Climbers}}). In addition, {{SSBM|Yoshi}} has developed vastly superior punish options against Mr. Game and Watch. As such, even with innovations and tournament play with dedicated players such as {{Sm|Qerb}}, he could not reach the consistency and adequate tournament presence to be a serious threat in the metagame.


*{{Sm|DireOnFire|USA}} - An old-school Mr. Game & Watch player from the Golden Age; he retired from ''Melee'', and later reappeared in the ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate'' scenes. He was the best Mr. Game & Watch player during the 2000s, placing 9th at {{Trn|Cataclysm 3}} and {{Trn|EVO East}}, which were the best major tournament results during the MLG era.
===Notable players===
*{{Sm|Kuya|USA}} - Co-mains Mr. Game & Watch with {{SSBM|Link}}. He made his breakthrough with superregional placements with 17th at {{Trn|DreamHack Atlanta 2019}} and 33rd at {{Trn|CEO 2019}}. He is considered to be the current best Mr. Game & Watch player in the world, placing 25th at {{Trn|Tipped Off 14: Resurgence}} and 33rd at {{Trn|Shine 2023}} using both characters, the best major results seen with the character in the post-Slippi era.
:''See also: [[:Category:Mr. Game & Watch professionals (SSBM)]]''
*{{Sm|Qerb|USA}} - Considered to be the best Mr. Game & Watch player in the world prior to hiatus from competition, and the best Mr. Game & Watch player of all time. He is the only player to make multiple top 64 placements at supermajors with solo-Mr. Game & Watch with 17th at {{Trn|Get On My Level 2019}}, 25th at {{Trn|Pound 2019}}, and 33rd at {{Trn|Super Smash Con 2019}}. Qerb was also ranked as an honorable mention on the [[MPGR 2019]], the only Mr. Game & Watch player to receive such a distinction on a global ranking.
====Active====
*{{Sm|Squeachu|UK}} - Widely considered the best Mr. Game & Watch player in Europe. They are the sole representative at certain European regionals such as 1st at {{Trn|Storm}}, 7th at {{Trn|Myth}}, 9th at {{Trn|Short Hop Pear 5}} with notable wins such as {{Sm|Skerzo}} at {{Trn|Fête 2}} and top European players such as {{Sm|Fat Tino}} and {{Sm|Sharp}}. They are currently ranked 50th on the [[EURank 2023]].
*{{Sm|Qerb|USA}} - Considered to be the best Mr. Game & Watch player in the world.
*{{Sm|Kuya|USA}} - Co-mains Mr. Game & Watch with {{SSBM|Link}}. Currently Power Ranked 15th in the Florida Power Rankings. Performs better in doubles tournaments than in singles.
*{{Sm|glock in my toyota|USA}} - Ranked 6th on the [[New Hampshire Power Rankings]].
*{{Sm|Snap|USA}} - 33rd at {{Trn|Mainstage}} with both {{SSBM|Fox}} and Mr. Game & Watch. Old Melee player from 2005.

===Tier placement and history===
===Tier placement and history===
Mr. Game & Watch has historically been considered to be a poor character in competitive play, with negative traits ranging from poor endurance, susceptibility to chaingrabs and various KO setups (despite his light weight), inconsistent approaching options, lag in his many of his attacks, and the inability to L-cancel some of his aerials. While many players noted Mr. Game & Watch raw power, flashy combos, and strong punish game, his poor defensive game and approach have hindered such showings at the highest levels of play. As a result of his flaws, he has consistently remained in the lower ends of tiers, failing to make significant rises.
Mr. Game & Watch has always been considered a weak and relatively underpowered character, with negative traits ranging from light weight, ease of getting KOed, iffy approaching options, lag in his many of his attacks, and the inability to L-cancel some of his aerials. As such, he lacked significant moments of success in competitive play. While a small group of smashers discovered that Mr. Game & Watch had potential, such as his glass-cannon playstyle alongside flashy combos, most of it was difficult to apply in tournaments. Even though {{Sm|Qerb}} achieved notable success by placing consistently in top 96 in many major tournaments, a large number of other Game & Watch players have failed to achieve high placings likewise.
 
As a result of his flaws, he has consistently remained in the lower ends of tiers, failing to make significant rises.
In recent years, however, {{Sm|Qerb}} has been noticeably successful with him, placing well in many major tournament series such as Super Smash Con as the sole representative of his character. Qerb achieved an honorable mention in the [[2019 MPGR]], indicating that he was considered close to Top 100 level even with a low-tiered character. Since many of the characters around Mr. Game & Watch on the tier list, such as {{SSBM|Young Link}} and {{SSBM|Mario}}, do not have many comparisons to contend with Qerb's level of results, some argue that he deserves to be placed slightly higher than his current rank. Other players such as {{Sm|Mew2King}} disagree, believing that his matchup spread overall is still much worse than those characters. As it stands, however, he is generally agreed to be a low-tiered character who still possesses significant difficulty contending against many matchups. With a noticeable rise in Game & Watch players, as well as a still developed metagame, he currently ranks 19th in the current tier list.

*Mr. Game & Watch, along with {{SSBM|Roy}}, {{SSBM|Donkey Kong}} and {{SSBM|Pichu}}, are the only characters in ''Melee'' to have an attack that causes [[recoil damage]]. {{SSBM|Kirby}} also counts, if he copies Roy's or Pichu's neutral special moves.

*''Melee'' reads Mr. Game & Watch's neutral, back, and up aerials as [[special move]]s, not as aerial attacks; this explains why they cannot be L-canceled. This error was fixed in ''Brawl''.

*Despite his animations looking like 2D sprites, Mr. Game & Watch actually uses a fully-rendered 3D model, with the values for the z-axis set to zero, thus flattening him (the same method which flattens other characters on Flat Zone.) Mr. Game & Watch's dimensions can best be seen when he's turning while using a {{b|Hammer|item}} or when he is being grabbed and pummeled.

*Despite not being a [[clone]], Mr. Game & Watch curiously shares many movement attributes with {{SSBM|Mario}}, namely [[walking]] speed, [[falling speed]], [[fast falling]] speed, [[traction]], and [[gravity]]. Other than sharing Mario’s attributes, he shared a similar [[Up smash]] with him, though he’s wearing a scuba helmet.

**Coincidentally, multiple ''Game & Watch'' games such as ''Donkey Kong''; ''Mario Bros.''; and ''Mario's Cement Factory'' featured Mario in a form more closely resembling Mr. Game & Watch, and the ''Game & Watch Gallery'' series featured alternate versions of classic ''Game & Watch'' games with Mario characters.
*Mr. Game & Watch is the only unlockable character in ''Melee'' who has four, rather than three, unlock methods.

*''Melee'' is the only appearance Mr. Game & Watch has in which he "yells in pain" after receiving a certain amount of knockback and has distinct voice clips for when he is KO'd.
*On {{SSBM|Tournament Mode}}'s [[character selection screen]], Mr. Game & Watch appears white rather than the default black. This was likely done to make him visible on the dark background.
*Including being the final character on the final stage of [[All Star]] as well as his Smash Blue trophy (which is a character trophy that a player gets a trophy of for doing ''All Star'' with any character; and it's the Smash Blue trophy), Mr. Game & Watch is the only character who uses his default color in All Star.
