Overview

Mr. Game & Watch equips a helmet that originates from its original game from the same name, then performs a slide-tackling headbutt while wearing it as he slides flat on his face. It possesses minimal startup for any type of dash attack by its kind. It has outstanding range and is significantlly fast, sliding Mr. Game & Watch in a choppy frame-by-frame manner, which makes it difficult for opponents to react to. It is also Mr. Game & Watch's most tremendous approaching option; since it lowers Mr. Game & Watch's hurtbox to match his actual sliding model, allowing him to low-profile certain attacks with this paticular move. Therefore, this move has high utility of going past horizontal projectiles that can easily stop an approach, and allows Mr. Game & Watch to continue approaching once again. Also, it is also notrious for being a tool for safe-punishment.

Lastly, it possesses low ending lag and deals great knockback, and the move has decent amount of active frames to make it an edgeguarding and KOing option near the edge. Like his down smash, it has high utility of 2-framing opponents and recoveries by the ledge. The move's great knockback gives it a staple asset - KOing as early as 130% by the edge and 150% center-stage, though the clean hit fails to KO middleweights from center-stage until well past 180%.
