[Mr. Johan]

Depending on if Game and Watch appears in that upcoming "Game and Wario" game for the Wii U, GW could possibly get some moveset adjustments to better reflect his more recent appearance.

 

[Get Low]

I'm cool with any moveset change, as long as he can keep the judgement hammer.

 

[ToastyTHT]

G&W would be so much better if he had a legit range threat.

 

[Hiemie]

I dunno, I kinda already like how he plays. I just want the old Parachute back.

 

[lordvaati]

the parachute lives on, as a recovery buff.

never again shall he whiff an edge like in Melee.

and I agree new moves from Game& Wario would be nice, though Judgement must stay(it's as iconic to him as falcon punch to cap.)

 

[bubbaking]

G&W needs to be the ultimate glass cannon! Decrease his weight, but buff his damage and knockback! Give Smash a DARK G&W (pun intended entirely). :D

 

[Akenero]

I know game and watch will be in the next smash because of the history behind it.He was one of the first ever video game characters created by nintendo. If not,I will go and find Sakurai and throw a...idk...A homemade game and watch....uh....slipper at him!He'll be running home scared then!

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Sometimes I think Mr. Game & Watch is a little too strong, but his very light frame and poor defensive maneuvers do balance him out, in a way.

 

[DakotaBonez]

The hammer of judgement must have some way of guaranteeing a 9!
I shant rest til I crack the code!

Incredibly strong, good speed, great recovery, awesome momentum cancelling, yes, but then one realizes that he's one of the lightest chars in the game and a lot of his moves are quite laggy.

Now, to move on.

Yeah, his neutral B should be more of a range threat.

Also, Mr. Game and Watch's down B IMO should definitely be replaced. That move is nearly worthless (in both Melee and Brawl), and it is among the least used and least useful moves in smash thus far. I'm sure Sakurai and co. could think of a better move (that is awesome, like most of Mr. Game and Watch's other moves) for Mr. Game and Watch!

 

[bubbaking]

Actually, while Game's downB was certainly not very useful in Melee, it was one of his most useful moves in Brawl. It stopped ALL momentum when he was sent flying which allowed him to live to crazy %'s. The technique was called "Bucket Breaking".

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Didn't Mr. G&W's forward aerial reference Mario Bros.? The package that he used came from that Game & Watch title.

Mario's Cement Factory, actually.

I'm aware of that... although I forgot to mention that as its' only use!

What I should have said was that Mr. Game and Watch's down B is worthless as an attack.

Also, I doubt that technique will be in Smash WiiU and 3DS, thus it would be worthless (again). That and another move could always do that.

I believe most, if not all, of G&W's moves are actually named after the game that they hailed from.

 

[mrbrawl]

i like game and watch but he needs a better final smash thats all

 

[asia_catdog_blue]

What is wrong with Octopus?

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Mario's Cement Factory, actually.

The image below says otherwise, since the item that Mr. G&W is holding definitely came from Mario Bros.; it's basically a package that hasn't been wrapped up yet.

 

[bubbaking]

I actually think asia is right on this one. That package is probably from Mario's cement factory.

Pictures of the G&W version of Mario's Cement Factory:

 

[mrbrawl]

What is wrong with Octopus?

its ok but its not the powerful if i were to have it again it needs more combo and knock back

 

[bubbaking]

Nothing combo'd in Brawl.

 

[mrbrawl]

true if his move had what i said it could be better

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

@bubbaking: Here's a sprite sheet from Game & Watch Gallery 3. If you look hard enough, you should see the sprite that resembles the item that Mr. G&W uses with his f-air.

 

[bubbaking]

What game is that?

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

What game is that?

That's the sprite sheet from Game & Watch Gallery 3's Mario Bros. Classic version.

 

[Funkmasterblitz]

Wow this thread is dead.

Anyways, I hope GW doesn't return.

 

[FalKoopa]

He will.

 

[Gingerbread Man]

Why would anyone not want Game & Watch to return?

 

[Curious Villager]

Mr. Game & Watch should definitely return. He's awesome! :D

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Wow this thread is dead.

Anyways, I hope GW doesn't return.

Why?

He's cool.

I always assumed this was a credit card. And he hit enemies with crippling debt.

 

[[Corn]]

I have a feeling that the Wii Fit Lady is the new Game and Watch type character if he is removed.

 

[MrMax]

I have a feeling that the Wii Fit Lady is the new Game and Watch type character if he is removed.

I agree. She is the same type of gimmick. And I think Villager is also a replacement in terms of quirky movesets.

 

[[Corn]]

Villager to me seems like a completely different character, he doesnt seem to fit for a GnW type character. Him and Mega Man are very very normal and wanted compared to her.

 

[MrMax]

I mean the quirks of using pots, bowling balls, and weird objects in his moveset.

 

[FalKoopa]

Meh, Game & Watch has no reason to be cut.

 

[SpeedyJ]

Agreed. I thought Villager resembled G&W too when I saw that video haha. Pulling random objects out of nowhere. Anyway, I hope he comes back. They need to buff Chef, maybe give the projectiles a set trajectory so you can semi-camp with it.
