Upon the release of ''Ultimate'', Mr. Game & Watch's competitive reception was mostly poor; this was because many players considered the nerfs he received - particularly the lack of priority on his new forward aerial, the reduction of invincibility frames on his up smash, and the loss of his "Toot-Toot" KO confirm - as significant enough to outweigh the buffs he was given. Likely as a result, most players considered him a low tier or even a bottom tier character. It later became clear that the buffs were far more significant than the nerfs. In particular, Mr. Game & Watch has a strong advantage state due to his aerial juggle game, an amazing out of shield option (as his up special is invincible on startup on frame 3), and low ending lag on his smash attacks, with down smash burying opponents, allowing for easy KOs as well. Mr. Game & Watch also sports a strong matchup spread, having positive matchups against certain high tier and top tier characters such as {{SSBU|Pikachu}}, {{SSBU|Peach}}, {{SSBU|Snake}}, {{SSBU|R.O.B.}}, {{SSBU|Fox}}, {{SSBU|Ness}}, | Upon the release of ''Ultimate'', Mr. Game & Watch's competitive reception was mostly poor; this was because many players considered the nerfs he received - particularly the lack of priority on his new forward aerial, the reduction of invincibility frames on his up smash, and the loss of his "Toot-Toot" KO confirm - as significant enough to outweigh the buffs he was given.

Initial results with the character were sparse. Over time, however, Mr. Game & Watch began to show strong signs of success at both a local and national level; {{sm|Snickeldorf}}, {{sm|Extra}}, {{sm|Regi}}, and {{sm|Skylar}} have made respectable placements in each of their respective regions, with Regi in particular placing 7th at {{Trn|Smash Factor 8}}. On a larger scale, however, {{Sm|Maister}} has made very strong strides on both a regional and national level, placing top 3 at several major events including {{Trn|Combo Breaker 2019}}, {{Trn|Ragnarok}}, {{Trn|Full Bloom 5}}, {{Trn|The Big House 9}}, {{Trn|2GG: Kongo Saga}}, {{Trn|Smash Factor 8}}, {{Trn|Frostbite 2020}}, and {{Trn|Super Smash Con: Fall Fest}}. In the process of doing so, he has also taken sets off of high-level players including {{sm|Light|p=Connecticut}}, {{sm|ESAM}}, {{sm|Dark Wizzy}}, {{sm|MVD}}, {{sm|yeti}}, {{sm|Abadango}}, {{sm|Javi}}, {{sm|Glutonny}}, {{Sm|Dabuz}}, {{Sm|Tweek}}, and {{sm|Samsora}}. Samsora and ESAM in particular have struggled against Maister, with them being 0-4 and 0-6 against Maister in sets, respectively. Maister was able to go from being unranked in the first PGRU to top 10 status in the second PGRU while solo-maining the character. | Initial results with the character were sparse.
