This is a significant drop from his ranking in ''Brawl'', where he was ranked 16th out of 38. Mr. Game & Watch's strengths include great combo and air games, as well as a high overall damage output in spite of his size and weight. His overall mobility is also decent, with his recovery in particular being impressive due to [[Fire]]'s long-ranged distance, large [[Edge sweet spot|edge sweetspot]], and general safety. He is also good at [[edgeguard]]ing, due to his recovery and moderately fast aerials. His landing lag, while not supplemented by autocancels, is actually quite low and is among the best in the game in terms of the total amount of frames in aerial move lag upon landing. | ||
However, Mr. Game & Watch possesses notable weaknesses as well. A big flaw is his surprising inability to KO at higher percentages despite dealing a lot of damage quickly. This is due to his finishers being plagued in one way or another, including inconsistent KO set-ups (such as down throw into up aerial) and KOing options that are too sluggish or have large sourspots (such as forward and down smashes, respectively). Additionally, while he has surprisingly good range for his size due to his disjointed hitboxes, he still has shorter range than a handful of the cast, such as {{SSB4|Shulk}}, {{SSB4|Ike}}, {{SSB4|Marth}}, and {{SSB4|Cloud}}. He is also the third lightest character in the game, making him prone to getting KO'd quite easily, which is further exacerbated by the loss of [[Bucket Braking]] and the introduction of [[rage]]. | However, Mr. Game & Watch possesses notable weaknesses as well.
