Outside of edgeguarding, Villager has multiple powerful KO moves, but none of them are easy to land from a [[neutral game|neutral situation]]. His forward smash, while powerful, is a laggy and short-ranged attack when used onstage. Lloid Rocket has KO power when ridden, but this is slow and predictable. Timber's axe requires a tree to be present and has considerable ending lag, while using the tree itself is slow and requires staying in one place. Villager's up aerial is a strong [[juggling]] move and can score KOs off the upper blast line, but only if luck permits. Pocketing and throwing back a sufficiently strong projectile makes for a deadly attack, generally enough to KO at mid percentages and even instantly shatter full [[shield]]s, but this is matchup-dependent and will not be easily allowed by a smart opponent. Overall, if the opponent maintains control of center stage, Villager can have trouble finding KO opportunities. | Outside of edgeguarding, Villager has multiple powerful KO moves, but none of them are easy to land from a [[neutral game|neutral situation]].

Villager has a versatile selection of custom moves. Pocket Plus and Garden are less powerful than standard Pocket, but have advantages that make them more useful for some matchups. Pushy Lloid's size and multi-hit nature make it harder for opponents to get past. Extreme Balloon Trip has Villager fly slower, but the balloons explode when they burst, making it very risky for the opponent to attempt an edgeguard while giving Villager a vertical boost that compensates for the move's reduced speed. The most notable and rather infamous custom move however, is Timber Counter. Timber Counter allows Villager to place a [[trip]]ping hazard which, unlike [[ | Villager has a versatile selection of custom moves.

Timber Counter allows Villager to place a [[trip]]ping hazard which, unlike [[Banana Peel]]s, cannot be removed by any opponent short of another Villager, allowing for strong stage control. By combining these custom moves, Villager can significantly enhance his already potent camping abilities, making him very difficult to approach. He does, however, give up some offensive ability in the process, and some players may prefer his more balanced default moveset. | ||
Villager is considered a solid character by many in [[competitive play]], with players such as Japan's {{sm|Ranai}} and Australia's {{sm|Villyness}} using him to take major [[tournament]]s, and although Americas {{sm|Skillager}} has maintained a handful of notable results to his credit, his overall American representation is not as strong. | Villager is considered a solid character by many in [[competitive play]], with players such as Japan's {{sm|Ranai}} and Australia's {{sm|Villyness}} using him to take major [[tournament]]s, and although Americas {{sm|Skillager}} has maintained a handful of notable results to his credit, his overall American representation is not as strong. | ||
