Mr. Game & Watch has some of the most noticeable changes of any veteran in the transition to ''Ultimate'', as several of his animations have been altered to change his appearance to the games they originate from when he performs them. This has led to a massive overhaul in his moveset that goes beyond changes to aesthetic appearances, as many of these moves have been mechanically altered and, in some cases, completely reworked altogether in their purpose and utility. As a result, Mr. Game & Watch has undergone a large mix of buffs and nerfs in his transition to ''Ultimate'', arguably the most out of any other returning veteran; however, while these changes have weakened a few of his most powerful tools and set-ups from ''SSB4'', they have also greatly improved several of his more underwhelming moves in his toolkit from the previous game, and the changes to game mechanics have benefitted these changes as well. As a result, Mr. Game & Watch has been significantly buffed overall. | Mr. Game & Watch has some of the most noticeable changes of any veteran in the transition to ''Ultimate'', as several of his animations have been altered to change his appearance to the games they originate from when he performs them.

Mr. Game & Watch's KO and edgeguarding potential have been drastically improved, since a majority of his regular moves, including [[forward tilt|forward]] and [[down tilt]]s, all of his [[smash attack]]s, and [[back aerial|back]] and [[down aerial]]s, have much stronger knockback; this drastically tones down one of his main weaknesses from ''SSB4''. His smash attacks have also improved beyond higher power — [[down smash]] now has faster startup and can now [[bury]] grounded opponents when [[sweetspot]]ted, allowing it to lead into followups and KO confirms, and its long range and burying time make it the best move of its kind. [[Forward smash]] is even easier to sweetspot than in ''SSB4'', while up smash has increased duration | Mr. Game & Watch's KO and edgeguarding potential have been drastically improved, since a majority of his regular moves, including [[forward tilt|forward]] and [[down tilt]]s, all of his [[smash attack]]s, and [[back aerial|back]] and [[down aerial]]s, have much stronger knockback; this drastically tones down one of his main weaknesses from ''SSB4''.

[[Forward smash]] is even easier to sweetspot than in ''SSB4'', while up smash has faster startup with increased duration and now renders Mr. Game & Watch himself completely invincible during the attack, as opposed to just his head and foot. | ||
His attacks have also increased utility overall. Changes to [[neutral aerial]]'s first hits allow them to link together more reliably and catch opponents above him more effectively, and the move's reduced landing lag means it can now be used as a landing option and set-up tool (notably having a KO confirm into down tilt at high percentages), while retaining its decently strong knockback. Forward tilt has a much longer duration, making it an effective option for both [[2 frame punish|2-framing]] and [[spotdodging]], and up tilt's hits connect into each other much more reliably, improving its consistency. [[Chef]]'s trajectory can now be controlled, which makes it much easier to catch opponents who are trying to reach for the ledge and is now more effective keeping control of the neutral game. [[Oil Panic]] can now reflect physical projectiles in addition to absorbing energy-based projectiles (though it doesn't increase their power), and [[Judge]]'s numbers 5, 7, 8, and 9 have improved. Mr. Game & Watch now sports a much more disjointed dash and pivot grab, giving it effective reach. However, his [[up special]], [[Fire]] has seen the most improvements; it now has a frame 3 hitbox that replaces its windbox from ''SSB4'', which launches opponent directly upwards, and can even be comboed up with a neutral or up aerial at low percentages to keep juggling opponents. Because of this, it is now infamously considered both the best up special and the best out of shield option in the entire game. | His attacks have also increased utility overall.
