==Overview==
==Overview==
Mr. Game & Watch will don a heavy scuba-diving helmet, rears back and then performs a powerful headbutt while wearing it, referencing his original game, ''Octopus''. The move is one of the most powerful of its kind; dealing high [[damage]] and [[knockback]] which makes it a viable KO option and it also has a fairly large hitbox, giving it deceptive [[range]]. Its [[startup]] is rather high as it comes out on frame 21, but in contrast its [[endlag]] is extremely low as it only has 13 frames of cooldown which is excellent for baiting the opponent and makes it very difficult to whiff punish. In addition to its very low endlag, it grants Mr. Game & Watch [[invincibility]] during the hitbox frames which makes challenging the move extremely risky as the opponent could potentially get themselves KO'd while Mr. Game & Watch remains completely untouched.

In addition to its very low endlag, it grants Mr. Game & Watch [[invincibility]] during the hitbox frames which makes challenging the move extremely risky as the opponent could potentially get themselves KO'd while Mr. Game & Watch remains completely untouched. Lastly, the move has two more strengths. The first of these is its [[combo]] starting potential at low percents. Due to the low cooldown, the move can lead into combo extending moves such as neutral aerial, up aerial, or Fire. The second is its extreme safety on shield. Due to the move's high startup and low cooldown as well as its relatively high [[shieldstun]], it is -6 on shield when fresh which is very safe for a smash attack.

Overall, it is considered to be one of the best [[up smash]]es in the game due to the move's high power, very low ending lag, invincibility, combo starting potential, and safety on shield which makes it a very useful tool in Mr. Game & Watch's kit, although its slow startup can make it difficult to land sometimes.
