Overview/Strategy
The character of Mr. Game and Watch first appeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee. He is based on the 1980s LCD Game and Watch series of portable games.
In Brawl Mr. Game and Watch (also called Mr. G&W, or sometimes just GW) is perhaps the most esoteric character available. He has a wide variety of moves, and some of them (his side special move) have a random variable. He is a light character with a good recovery move. His offensive moves require more practice than other characters to use effectively. They tend to be either short range attacks or passive attacks that require other characters to attack first.
