To be honest, the Smash Discords aren't toxic at all. At least the Fox Discord and Marcina Discords aren't toxic. However, to keep this post relevant, I'll say this: Game N' Watch is not necessarily a bad character, however, he doesn't have many positives either, making him a solid Mid-tier by my definition. GnW has quite a good neutral game and advantage state, and is one of the only characters to have useful windboxes (although not really in higher levels of play). Add a fantastic Up-Smash and you basically get a weird mix of Mario, Diddy, and Mewtwo, but yet he remains worse than any of the aforementioned characters. Why? Well, unlike Mewtwo, or Diddy, or Mario, GnW has a really hard time killing. While it can be argued that Diddy does too, at least Diddy has a kill confirm, while GnW does not. On top of this, he is light and floaty, instantly making him fall prey to the pocket MK's out there. GnW also has a horrible disadvantage state, because while all of his aerials are disjointed, none are disjointed to the point of him contesting the sword characters, who all beat him, even Roy. Rage hurts GnW almost as much as Sheik, as he loses his better combos and as a super-lightweight, he will die before he can get rage. As a result of GnW's glaring flaws, it can be concluded that while GnW is a Mid-Tier, the current view of him is most likely due to matchup inexperience, as good GnW players are very rare, making it nigh-impossible to practice the true GnW matchup. As a result, GnW is a character that benefits from its rarity, as, if it were more common, it could suffer from people learning the matchup.
