CONFIRMED RULE-BREAKER
I'm being serious, the title is a very faint remembering of what Masahiro Sakurai said at one point.
Mr. Game & Watch throws that OUT THE WINDOW AND ONTO THE TRAIN TRACK.
Oh Mr. Game & Watch, I am just so glad to have my Brawl Super-Main back.
, and . All my Super-Mains of 64, Melee and Brawl re-assembled in Smash 4. Oh, how choosing a main will be tricky...

In all of the videos I've seen of him, 7 was always the first number displayed when using Judge. But no videos ever showed what number came after, so I don't really know if it is random or fixed.

The Video in this thread shows G&W getting a 4, so it's safe to assume the random is back.

Interestingly, it seems like they actually made Judge truly random this time; I seem to recall seeing a video of him getting two 4's in row, which (iirc) was not possible in Melee and Brawl. I know at least in the former, you couldn't get either of the last two numbers you got (and interestingly enough, you were guaranteed not to get a 2 on the first use or a 1 on the first two).

yeah brawl is the same.
Do you have a vid of someone breaking the melee/brawl rules?

Sorry it took me a while to find one (I couldn't remember where I saw the original video); but in the second match of this video, Game & Watch throws two 4's in a row at the start of the match. I've seen other videos where the first one he uses is a 2 as well, but if it's purely random now, that's to be expected.

 

[Splice]

Ah that's a shame. That's definitely a nerf.
Thanks for finding the video

 

[Overtaken]

Yeah, two in a row is basically fine, but taking away the gimmies on the first two definitely hurt. :/

 

[WindozeNT]

Mr. Game & Watch was nerfed too much.

 

[Overtaken]

It seems to be the case, unfortunately. For us Melee & Watch mains, something we'll adapt to real quick It was fun sitting at the cool-kid table for a while, oh well.

Edit: if we're getting Melee GW back, couldn't they at least give us the nair parachute back. I miss that s*** so much.

We could've, but custom nairs weren't made into a thing.

Yeah, but I heard one of his custom Up-Bs involves him getting shot up twice as high but with no parachute. they could have altered his nair while that one was set. He's already a confirmed rule-breaker. It would have been so perfect too.
