===Tier placement and history===
Since the early metagame, Mr. Game & Watch has maintained a mixed perception in regard to his tier placement and viability, due to the fact that he had been nerfed overall in his transition from ''Brawl''. Players acknowledged his heavily damaging combos, raw power and having one of the best recoveries in the game, but also his very light weight, lackluster range and sub-par grab game. Mr. Game & Watch's results had always been rather obscure until [[EVO 2015]], where {{Sm|Regi}} placed 13th there, and opinions of his potential became more positive over time due to some decent results brought by {{Sm|GimR}} as well. This led him to being ranked 35th on the first ''4BR'' [[tier list]].
However, Mr. Game & Watch's overall tournament results and representation still stood out to be rather low in competitive play, even with the recent high placings of {{Sm|KOSSismoss}} and Regi's relatively higher placing of 17th at [[EVO 2016]]. Although these results allowed Mr. Game & Watch to only negligibly drop to 37th on the second tier list, the inclusion of {{SSB4|Corrin}} and {{SSB4|Bayonetta}} would harm him, since their respective combo and camping games would prove them to be quite oppressive across the cast. The addition of the DLC characters would cause his tournament representation to decline. As such, he dropped to 40th on the third tier list, before rising to 38th on the fourth and final tier list. While his placings remained scarce, those few achievements have allowed him to find a rather solid placement as a mid-tier character due to the expansion of the tiers in the fourth tier list.
