 **{{nerf|Dash attack's has smaller hitboxes (6.24u → 6u (early)/5.5u (late)).}}
 *[[Forward smash]]:
-**{{nerf|Forward smash's sweetspot has decreased knockback scaling (98 → 91), hindering its KO potential.}}
+**{{change|Forward smash has a slightly altered animation. Mr. Game & Watch now swings the torch with both hands, instead of just one.}}
-**{{nerf|Forward smash's sourspot now takes priority over its sweetspot. The sourspot also launches opponents at a higher angle (361° → 53°) hindering its KO potential despite having higher knockback scaling (98 → 100). The body hitbox has also been removed.}}
+**{{nerf|Forward smash has a shorter duration (frames 17-20 (clean)/21-34 (late) → 17-18), with the move losing its late hit.}}
-**{{nerf|Forward smash's late hit (frames 21-34) has been removed entirely, and its early hit's duration has also been reduced (frames 17-20 → 17-18).}}
+**{{nerf|The sweetspot has decreased knockback scaling (98 → 91), hindering its KO potential.}}
-**{{change|Forward smash's animation has slightly changed. Mr. Game & Watch now swings the torch with both hands, instead of just one.}}
+**{{nerf|The sweetspot is much smaller, only possessing one hitbox (6u/5u → 3u), it now has lower priority than the sourspot and it has been moved closer to Mr. Game & Watch (z offset: 17/10 → 11), now merely covering his hand. This drastically reduces its range and makes it much harder to land.}}
+**{{nerf|The sourspot also launches opponents at a higher angle (361° → 53°), hindering its KO potential despite its higher knockback scaling (98 → 100).}}
+**{{nerf|The sourspot is larger (3u → 5.3u) and it has been moved closer to Mr. Game & Watch (z offset: 0 → 17). This combined with it now taking priority over the sweetspot (ID# 2 → 0) makes it much easier to land, hindering forward smash's overall effectiveness.}}
+***{{nerf|The hitbox is also smaller than the previous sweetspot, giving forward smash less range overall.}}
+**{{nerf|The body hitbox has been removed.}}
 *[[Up smash]]:
-**{{buff|Up smash's hitboxes have been changed to one main, extended hitbox. This makes it's collective covered area more than Brawl's, and for a more consistent amount of time.}}
+**{{buff|Up smash's head hitbox has been changed to a static extended hitbox. This gives the move more horizontal range, and for a more consistent amount of time despite its smaller size (6u → 5.5u).}}
-**{{buff|Up smash has significantly increased partial [[invincibility]] (frames 24-28 → 4-25), making it among the best anti-air tools in the game.}}
+**{{buff|Mr. Game & Watch's head now gains [[invincibility]] rather than intangibility, making it more effective at stuffing out attacks.}}
-**{{nerf|Up smash deals 2% less damage (18% → 16%) and has decreased knockback scaling (97 → 93), hindering its KO potential.}}
+***{{buff|In addition to this, Mr Game. & Watch's front hand/arm and foot also gain invincibility, granting him more protection from the front.}}
-**{{nerf|Up smash's is active for a shorter period (frames 24-28 → 24-25).}}
+***{{buff|In addition to this, up smash gains invincibility much sooner and for a much longer period of time (frames 24-28 → 4-25), allowing him to evade attacks before the hitboxes even come out.}}
-**{{change|Up smash's animation is now mirrored, with the visor now facing the screen regardless which direction Mr. Game & Watch is currently facing.}}
+**{{change|Up smash's animation is now mirrored, with the visor now facing the screen regardless which direction Mr. Game & Watch is currently facing. Mr. Game & Watch also now swings his head before the hitboxes even come out.}}

+**{{nerf|Up smash deals less damage (18% → 16%) and has decreased knockback scaling (97 → 93), hindering its KO potential.}}
+**{{nerf|Up smash lost its large, floating, static hitbox, reducing its vertical range.}}
 *[[Down smash]]:
-**{{change|Down smash's hammer size has been increased. Despite this, the size and locations of each hitbox remains identical.}}
+**{{buff|Down smash's sourspot is now one extended hitbox, giving it more range.}}
-**{{buff|Down smash's sourspot is larger, now extending to each of Mr. Game & Watch's hands, covering his body entirely.}}
+**{{change|Down smash has a slightly altered animation, with the hammers being larger.}}
-**{{nerf|Down smash has significantly decreased knockback on both its sourspot (60 (base), 68 (scaling) → 30/65) and sweetspot (98 (scaling) → 85).}}
+**{{nerf|Down smash has increased ending lag (FAF 34 → 42), no longer having the shortest total duration out of every down smash.}}
-**{{nerf|Down smash has increased ending lag (FAF 33 → 42).}}
+**{{nerf|The sourspot deals much less knockback (60 (base), 68 (scaling) → 30/65).}}
+**{{nerf|The sweetspots have decreased knockback scaling (98 → 85).}}
+**{{nerf|The sweetspots have smaller hitboxes (7u → 5u). When combined with the increased hammer size, this reduces its range and results in the move no longer fully covering the hammers, rather than being deceptively disjointed.}}
