While a small group of smashers discovered that Mr. Game & Watch had some potential, such as his raw power and glass-cannon playstyle that allowed for flashy combos, his flaws and bad matchups have hindered such showings at the highest levels of play. As a result of his flaws, he has consistently remained in the lower ends of tiers, failing to make significant rises, and is currently ranked 19th. | ||
