However, not all is lost- Zorldo, surprisingly, has a few very notable wins to her name, with these victories being a tiny light at the end of the long tunnel of pain and suffering for all 7 of her mains across the world, truly a shining example of Zorldo's peak potential at high-level play. One such win was when {{Sm|The Lake}} 4-stocked {{Sm|Nintendude}} in pools that one time due to the latter's extreme misuse of [[tech skill]]. Another was when {{Sm|Jada}}, an up-and-coming Zorldo player, made a shocking upset against none other than top 5 player in the world {{Sm|iBDW}}, who was forced to change the meaning of his acronym to "<b>I</b>'m '''B'''ad at '''D'''efeating lo'''W'''tiers" after such a humiliating defeat. This historical set can be watched [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QB7ACr7pUuE here]. | However, not all is lost- Zorldo, surprisingly, has a few very notable wins to her name, with these victories being a tiny light at the end of the long tunnel of pain and suffering for all 7 of her mains across the world, truly a shining example of Zorldo's peak potential at high-level play.

'''Mr. Game & Watch''' ({{ja|Mr. ゲーム＆ウォッチ|Misutā Gēmu ando Uocchi}}, ''Mr. Game & Watch'') is barely a character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. He was designed as a composite representation of various generic characters featured in the ''[[Game & Watch]]'' series, which means he was never actually meant to be played, further evidenced by the fact that he is the last character to be unlocked in the game. | |||
Mr. Game & Watch is currently ranked 19th in ''Melee'''s [[tier list]], at the bottom of the C- tier, his lowest placement in the series. This may come as a shock to the average keyboard warrior whose only exposure to the game was {{Sm|Heeew}}'s videos about how the game is broken and expected him to be even lower. He surprisingly has a lot going for him for such a bad overall character, with kill options that have a longer duration than online ''Brawl'' loading times, actually usable [[neutral game]] tools with [[down tilt]] and [[forward aerial]], and above all else, a top-100 caliber player who actually has decent results with him, which is more than can be said for other characters around him. Sure, he has the "dubious distinction" of not being able to L-cancel all his aerials, but that it doesn't matter when the opponent fucking dies to his [[neutral aerial]] at 90%. | |||
Despite this, Mr. Game & Watch is trash for a reason, owing to his absolute nonexistent defensive game that makes the likes of ''Divekick'' characters seem like immovable juggernauts in comparison. If an opponent so much as breathes on his not-actually-2D model with any halfway decent kill confirm he may as well just be declared dead on the spot, and it's not particularly difficult to find openings against him when his [[shield]] looks like it just rolled out of a Skittles bag. Unfortunately, even that roll is much faster and better than Mr. Game & Watch's in every conceivable way. It's not like other characters aren't capable of achieving the offense that he can anyway, making the opportunity cost of investing your valuable time and effort into him higher than the ''Melee'' developers who designed him in the first place. This leads to horrific matchups against top-tiered characters, and he is among the only ones to have the dubious distinction of being completely and utterly shut down by {{SSBM|Fox}} rather than being just barely good enough to occasionally zero-to-death him. This is particularly notable when you consider that low-tier combo videos all feature heavy punishes against bad Foxes, which you will never be able to get playing this character. Thus, not only is he nearly unviable in ''Melee'', he's also unviable in the YouTube metagame as well, making him perhaps the worst overall character in the game as you won't even be able to get ad revenue after suffering through playing him. | |||
