Mr. Game&Watch has captured my heart since I unlocked him in Melee and although I originally just liked to troll friends in fun matches with him as I grew up and attempted to work/practice for competitive Melee I found the higher tiers to be angering. I drifted towards the lower end and found myself in the arms of my 2-D lover once more.
I told myself that I most likely would not make it as a top-notch Melee allstar so if I would go to weeklys or big tournaments I would choose G&W.
I found my groove in him.
Then.
Brawl.
Killed.
His.
Kill.
His parachute was a busted move on a underwhelming character that NEEDS A MOVE AS RELIABLE AS THAT to work well. It even fits his wonky theme.
Imagine....
You are walking down the street...see a fight...and the little guy is about to lose so you wince and take a second before looking away and then BAM parachute.
I have been there and done that and regret nothing.
Sm4sh followed Brawl's direction with the dumb fish bowl and now...Ultimate gives us more combo moves in his Up-Air yet not a firm reliable way to end stocks...
Fair...R.I.P
Down-Tilt...R.I.P
Also, what the heck happened to G&W's cooking abilities??? His neutral sucks goose eggs now due to the distance and lag on his Chef you can no longer use it like you could in Brawl/PM/Sm4sh
-He is light and needs a safe move to cover him (Parachute).
-He is fast yet, once again, needs safe moves to gap neutral and approach (Old Fair and Old Chef).
*Feel free to disagree, however I love this character and will still play him...it just hurts but my love will keep on bleeding for Mr. Game&Watch*
