I absolutely love how he moves now.

Game & Watch seems to have been reanimated completely, and he seems so much carefree and goofy.

I absolutely love it! But the new Down Taunt might be a little much for my tastes though.

I agree. It looks so much smoother now.

G&W is a character I usually played with the Random button and I'd be more than happy to give him a whirl his time around.

Ok, saw some gameplay.

As a person who uses Mr. Game & Watch a bunch...WOW that was disorienting. It almost made me dizzy. Have yet to see this down taunt of his though.

Anyway, with all that said, I do prefer speedy characters, so Mr. Game & Watch is going to be even more fun to play for me. <3

Thinking back to the game & watch games...the way he moves actually seems to fit more with the Game & Watch games then how he did before.
The way he moves reminds me of hard mode when you are nearing 100 points. Pretty crazy.

In Melee and Brawl, Mr. Game & Watch just moved up and down. Which isn't really fitting of him even if does technically reference him being part of the LCD screen.

The thing about the characters in Game & watch games is, they move weirdly.

Take a look at this:


As you can see, he isn't just moving up and down when he goes from one section to another. He is looking all over the place while doing so. If I'm not mistaken, most of Mr. Game & Watch walking/running/idle animations were based off manhole and Helmet, so it's nice to see helmet giving even more influence as that was one of my favorites of the Game & Watch series.

His Dash Attack is just like Mario's now. (He just falls, Helmet is gone.) And he holds his Side Smash Torch with both hands now.

I was wondering how they would make him more expressive. Sakurai really delivered. His new animations put his Melee/Brawl ones to shame big time. His animation much more limited, like it should be. Have his custom moves been released yet?

I kind of prefer the look of his smoother run from before, but the new animation is definitely a better representation of his LCD origins. Pretty cool.
