Want stats? This is your focal point for all G&W frame data.

DISCUSSION

Weekly Character Discussion: Game & Watch by Overswarm
This is the weekly character discussion for G&W. Members of the SBR have discussed the different
area's of his game. Its just relatively good info for beginners.

The Armory: Using G&W's arsenal to the fullest extent by Cutter
A neat little thread in which, similar to a match-up theme, the community will take on one of Game and Watches moves at a time, and voice individual opinions, tips, tricks, and strategies to that particular technique. This, in a nutshell, can expand your horizon, and perhaps further mold your individual game in order to up your arsenal. Feel free to put in your own opinions so we’ll all be benefited.

G&W Discussion by Mr. Escalator
This thread is just basically an organized discussion on G&W. A set topic is picked, and players will share some of their ideas and such, and others will exchange their own opinions, etc. Essentially a casual thread for community chitchat about aspects of Sir Watch's game.

Tiny Details Make the Difference? by Phloat
Just a brief discussion on the tiny basics that separates the good G&W's from the bad.
Its a topic that had good intentions, but didn't really set-off, all and all its worth a look.

In this thread you'll find the G&W community sharing their strategies for landing smashes,
something that can be difficult in certain scenarios. Scroll through the topic for different
ways to score those moves for early KO's. Yummy information inside.

GUIDES

Omegablackmage's Mr. Game and Watch Guide by OBM
The first G&W guide for SSBB, the thread catalogs different modifications from Melee to Brawl, and should be your bread-and-butter for learning the basics of this new Game and Watch. There are brief rundowns of each technique, and their distinct changes, as well as some trace facts from other guides thrown in. This is essentially the "go-to" for any clear-cut GaW knowledge.

Projectile Defense Guide by Neb
This guide consists of cancellation and unique qualities G&W's moves have in a defensive manner, not just offensive. Within the armory you’ll come across interesting finds, and a better look at the great, iron priority Game and Watch wields with his entire arsenal. After having a crack at the strategies, in a sense, you’ll have a second shield.

Oil Panic! (A Bucket List and Strategy Guide) by Mr. Escalator
I believe its safe to say, this is the place to go for anything about the bucket. The guide is very in depth, having a little bit of everything, tricks, damage ratios, filling up, releasing the catch, and much more! Un-arguably the most frightening move in the game, you’ll need to cart the info here into your bag of tricks. Mr. Esc has done a fine job building this guide.

The Down Throw: When face-planting your foe wasn't good enough by Cutter
This thread offers a thorough briefing on the nuts and bolts of d-throw, its central strategy, follow-ups, weaknesses, how to exploit counters, and how to manipulate your opponent with mind games. After reading this miniguide, you’re sure to have a concrete, and aggressive grab-game.

The Art Of Mouthing - An Uair Guide (18+)! by Neb

VIDEO

The Ageold Theatre [New G&W Video Thread] by Neb
The theatre is a gate to all your free streaming and omnipotent movies, having a growing collection of top-notch tournaments, friendlies, doubles, combo vids, tricks, and tutorials, all spread before you eyes on a slick screen. The films are organized by actor (player), and are listed in alphabetically order by match up. Aside from uploading videos, this is essential a relaxed thread, and a good “chill spot” to just chitchat about anything that pertains to the game.

Today you're awesome for bringing all these important threads back to life.
UTDZac and Hylian are my heroes. I might play G&W correctly because of all the knowledge they shared.
Also I would like to thank everyone for sharing their discoveries. I learned a lot of things by simply reading threads here.

Keep the good work. =)
