Mr. Game & Watch (SSBB)/Down smash

Hitbox visualization showing Mr. Game & Watch's down smash.

Overview

Mr Game and watch swings 2 hammers downwards. The move is rather slow for a down smash, coming out on frame 15, but its low endlag can make the move surprisingly safe on shield. Its hitboxes are also fairly disjointed.

The move has a sweet spot and a sour spot. The sweet spot hits very hard, dealing 15% and KOing at rather low percents, making it one of the strongest down smashes in the entire game. While the sour spot deals less damage and knockback, it's semi spike angle can make it particularly dangerous against certain recoveries.

Overall, Mr. Game & Watch's down smash is one of his best moves, and can catch players off guard when they least expect it.
