However, Mr. Game & Watch possesses some notable weaknesses, the most significant being his extremely poor endurance. He is tied with {{SSBU|Squirtle}} for being the third [[Weight|lightest]] character in the game, making him susceptible to early KOs. Aside from up special and down aerial, most of his defensive options are underwhelming, as his other aerials are slow, his double jump is floaty, and his [[roll]]s and dodges are short-reaching. Finally, his neutral game lacks effective zoning options while his attacks have very short range outside of a few disjointed attacks, and as such he has a poor approach game and has more trouble fighting against sword characters and characters with better disjoints. | However, Mr. Game & Watch possesses some notable weaknesses, the most significant being his extremely poor endurance.

He is a character that can deal out damage quickly, has several strong KO options, and can be annoying to properly hit due to spammable attacks and a strong out-of-shield game. However, his weak endurance and poor approach options means he has to play patiently, lest he gets KOd before the opponent. Although still underwhelming compared to other characters in his tier, Mr. Game & Watch's representation has nevertheless been strong for most of the game's lifespan, thanks to the efforts of players such as {{Sm|Maister}} and {{Sm|Miya|p=Honshu}}. | ||

Unlike most other lightweights, Mr. Game & Watch possesses attacks with large disjointed hitboxes and has numerous, powerful KO options. All of his [[smash attack]]s have very high power and low ending lag throughout, with each of them possessing unique attributes. [[Forward smash]] is among the strongest in the game if sweetspotted while having low endlag and good range, with the sweetspot being safe on shield. [[Up smash]] is also very strong, and comes with full body invincibility while the hitboxes are active. While it has slow startup, it has minimal endlag and is completely safe on shield. [[Down smash]] sends opponents at an awkward [[semi-spike]] angle offstage, while its sweetspot [[bury|buries]] opponents long enough to lead into a forward smash, even at medium percents. It also has a very large hitbox, allowing it to easily 2-frame many recoveries, and acts as an excellent punish option on rolls. Like his other smash attacks, down smash is safe on shield when spaced properly. Overall, Mr. Game & Watch possesses an excellent arsenal of smash attacks. | Unlike most other lightweights, Mr. Game & Watch possesses attacks with large disjointed hitboxes and has numerous, powerful KO options.

Outside of his smash attacks, Mr. Game & Watch's other moves also boast strong KO potential. [[Forward tilt]] comes out quickly, has a lingering hitbox, and kills under 120% by the ledge, sending characters at a semi-spike. [[Down tilt]] lowers Mr. Game & Watch's hurtbox to match his crouch, allowing him to whiff-punish certain attacks. It also possesses high power and semi-spikes opponents offstage, leading to [[edgeguard]]s and killing outright at 100%. His new [[forward aerial]]'s explosion kills opponents at 120% by the ledge, while his [[back aerial]] now sends at a flatter angle with enough power to KO below 100% offstage. The clean hit on down aerial boasts a powerful meteor smash that can KO below 40%, while the late hit deals enough knockback to KO under 130%, and even sooner if it connects near the top blast zone, courtesy of the move's vertical launch angle.

Oil Panic is used as Mr. Game & Watch's primary defense against camping and projectiles, as it both absorbs energy projectiles from moves such as Mega Buster and [[PK Fire]], and reflects items like {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}'s [[Blunderbuss]] and {{SSBU|Peach}}'s [[Turnip]]s. This can lead to massive advantages against certain characters who rely on projectiles in their playstyle. Oil Panic also has the notable ability of carrying over the charge to subsequent stocks, which can be used as a lethal finisher and even mind games. The area in which Oil Panic can absorb projectiles is also deceptively large, which allows Mr. Game & Watch to store energy into Oil Panic merely by standing close to just the edge of any energy projectile. Finally, Oil Panic is also a potent combo finisher with nearly instantaneous startup lag, with its fairly large, lingering hitbox coming out on just frame 2, as well as extreme knockback that can kill at single digit percents when at max power (power is dependent on projectiles absorbed). It is also notably difficult to defend against a fully charged use of it, as the lingering hitbox can still hit spot dodges if timed even slightly off, and a powerful enough charge can break a full shield, allowing Mr. Game & Watch to punish with one of his powerful smash attacks. However, Oil Panic has the glaring weakness of being filled with extremely weak moves such as Fox's blaster. This causes Mr. Game & Watch to fill Oil Panic extremely quickly, rendering its defensive value useless, and forces him to either hold onto a weak use of it, or dump it without purposefully damaging the opponent in order to use it again as a defensive tool. In addition, a full Oil Panic cannot absorb or reflect any projectiles, making Mr. Game & Watch more vulnerable to projectiles unless he releases the oil spill. | Oil Panic is used as Mr. Game & Watch's primary defense against camping and projectiles, as it both absorbs energy projectiles from moves such as Mega Buster and [[PK Fire]], and reflects items like {{SSBU|King K.
