Mr. Game & Watch (SSF2)

Mr. Game & Watch is a veteran starter character in Super Smash Flash 2. He was revealed on the third day of the Apex 2015 stream, and added to the game two years later in Beta 1.0. His sprites are custom-made and are based primarily on his appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. Unlike his appearances in other Super Smash Bros. games, including the original Super Smash Flash, Mr. Game & Watch is not a hidden character.

Mr. Game & Watch is currently ranked 28th in the tier list for Version 1.3 of the game. He has strong KO moves in his disjointed smash attacks, forward air, up air, down air, and his potentially strong Judge and Oil Panic. He has an amazing air game due to his high air speed and his fast, disjointed aerials that can be used to combo, space out opponents, edgeguard, and secure KOs. He has little difficulty breaking out of combos with his slow falling speed. His Fire travels a long vertical distance that ends in a glide, giving him one of the best recoveries in the game when factoring in his low falling speed and high air speed.

However, Mr. Game & Watch has abysmal survivability due to his low falling speed combined with his very light weight, leading to him getting KO'd nearly as easily as. Despite his disjointed range, he still struggles against sword characters due to their ability to outrange him most of the time. His strongest KO moves tend to be situational at best, as his up smash has short range and bad frame data, down air needs to connect on the first active frame to get the strong meteor smash, Judge only KOs when rolling a 9, and Oil Panic requires filling up his bucket with three strong energy-based projectiles first.

Overall, Mr. Game & Watch's strengths slightly outnumber his weaknesses, leaving him in mid tier.
