Mr. Game & Watch

Line 73:

Mr. Game & Watch is once again an unlockable playable character. He was teased before release in a small appearance at the end of {{SSB4|Pac-Man}}'s reveal trailer to illustrate how the two are the oldest characters in ''Smash Bros.'' history; in that cameo, he performs his taunts from ''Brawl'' (even a taunt that would eventually get replaced).

Overall, he was nerfed in the transition to ''SSB4''. The removal of Bucket ~~Breaking~~ is his most notable negative change, as it greatly hinders his ability to survive, notable considering his status is a lightweight character. Several of his moves also have added [[lag]], such as his up tilt, down tilt, and neutral aerial. However, his attacks possess high damage output, with some becoming more efficient, including his back aerial's multiple hits linking better, and up smash, which now includes invincibility on startup. His throws have also improved, as they are all now performed much faster, with down throw being especially great at starting combos. However, his nerfs are considerably enough to cause a drop in his tier placement, now ranking 35th out of 56 on the ''SSB4'' [[tier list]], and has seen lackluster tournament representation and results.
