Mr. Game & Watch (SSBB): Difference between revisions

Initially, Mr. Game & Watch was considered to be a top-tier character, ranking as high as 4th place on the first tier list, which is also his greateat ranking so far. This was due to his disjointed reach, disproportionately high power, great aerial game and [[Bucket Braking]], which made him very difficult to KO, as well as edge-guard, while also being efficient on both points. In addition, Mr. Game & Watch boasted a powerful [[tech-chasing]] advantage over the entire cast using his down throw. 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 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 prevent him easily beating other top-tiered characters, most notably Meta Knight, Ice Climbers and Marth, though his strengths are enough to face other top/high-tiered threats, like {{SSBB|Pikachu}}, {{SSBB|Lucario}}, {{SSBB|Wario}} and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}. However, his current ranking remains a high topic of debate, with most of the community pointing out that he deserves to be ranked much higher due to the potency of his strengths, up to high or top-tier, or even rendering him as one of the best characters in ''Brawl''.
