My friend forgot Mr Game & Watch’s name once and called him “Mr. Hammer Time” So now I only call him that.

His neutral B can be angled with the stick! If you are spamming B to throw food, just hold the stick in a direction to change the arc, which also makes it more consistent. It makes the move much more useful.

The bucket reflects physical projectiles (cannonball, rockets)
And absorbs energy projectiles
(Fireballs, explosions, and lasers)

A good throw combo is a down throw, small jump, and a judge. If you land the 9 itll be a guaranteed kill at basically any lightly damaged percent.

Your up air is an infuriating move to fight against if your enemy has few sideways recovery options, like King K Rool, as he can do virtually nothing to stop you from doing it.

Your strongest smash attack is scuba helmet, and at lower percents combined with a good setup, read, or ground with the hammers, is one of your best options as it can kill with no charge.

Chef is a NIGHTMARE to vertically strong recoveries. Ike and Chrom will suffer if you sit near an edge and spam this move, as they can get no where close to the ledge. If they do, jump and drop a bomb.

Your a very high damage but easy to kill character, but parachute makes you a GOD when trying to keep someone off stage. If you save your double jump and air dodge, you can go after even guaranteed kills and just hit them a few more times with little risk.

I hate when I hit a 7 with my hammer and then get hit, and then just see my opponent eat the apples 😿. Literally giving your opponent free health.

Mr game and watch is the most powerful character because he can say the n word

Edit: he is now tied for strongest character with enderman

Remember to pray to RNGesus fellow Game and Watch mains

-Mr game and watch's dash attack has him wearing a small hat, you can combo someone off the stage with it, and it surprisingly can cancel/clash an opponents attack
-The chef special can be angled with your analog stick
-Nair is actually really useful, as its hitbox is huge and that can help with clashing/canceling out attacks, and since it's a multi hit, you have a good chance of stopping an opponent and continue your juggle
-the uair was a windbox in previous games, along with his downtilt, not an invisible attack
-dair has a spike hitbox at the startup of the attack
-new to this game, his fair, you can try hitting your opponent and fast falling to a platform and extending with an air attack or quick smash
-his down smash has grounding effects but the hitbox is near the middle of the hammers

I once landed a bucket and 3 9's in a row, best match ever

[raimbowdash]

I recently got my friend into smash and he’s been trying to find a main that fits his playstyle for weeks. I kept telling him to look up guides or practice with characters himself, but he can never find a character himself, and he couldn’t find any guides, since ultimate had just came out. So this video helped me a lot! My friend has practiced with g&w before but could never understand his playstyle too much. I tried to help him, but I don’t know too much about g&w either, so this video helped both of us! Thank you for making this!
Edit: thanks for the heart!

Not really a guide more of a character overview.

[RoccoReichelt]

6:25 the 9 killed at 10% dude. He just had 40% after the nine

[wharknut]

That’s my main 😁

Edit: kirby is pretty cool too

[krsistired]

I miss Game and Watch's old F-Air. That Book Thing was Very Good at Combos.

[jebthedestroyer]

I absolutely love G&W. Hes a severely underrated character.

[jordansweet]

Mr. game and watch is my main! I love him!

[MrBLAZIKEN]

- About his f-smash, it deals less knockback the closest to Mr.Game & Watch, the flame is the strong spot, giving the burning effect (here 3:00 you hit it with no burning effect, that's why the knockback was so small).
- As others comment, bucket now reflects physical projectiles, it absorbs ink. This property is a bit weird with bombs, if they're thrown at you directly they get just reflected, but if timed correctly you can absorb them right when explode (works with all bombs that characters can use).
- His recovery it's now better to use to escape from combos, and still a great option, yet now it's a way more risky to go for a metor/spike since d-air it's slow to act from.
- Something I'm not really sure of it's manipulating the judge 9 probability, I usually roll the stick up right away and they appear often (like if making reverse ganon punch but up), maybe it's just a mental thing like smashing A to catch a pokémon?
- N-air is just great!
- You can take advantage that Mr.Game & Watch it's an underused character, almost no one knows how to deal with him and get easily triggered when losing against him (and more if it was because a 9).
All of this is based in experience, f-smash and bucket properties mentioned here were totally tested, tho you could test them by your own.
Hope this is useful for someone! :)

I freaking love Mr Game & Watch.
All time favourite character.

[DrGandW]

It’s pretty basic but you DEFINITELY should have mentioned
>Chef can be angled with holding forward and back
>Fire is a great Up B out of shield
>Down tilt actually kills really well for a tilt because of its brutal angle
