Part 39

Explore Mr. Game & Watch's unique moves in Brawl Stars, including Judgment Hammer, Chef, Oil Panic, and Fire. Learn about his strengths, weaknesses, and best matchups.

This section details specific moves and matchups for Mr. Game & Watch in Brawl Stars.

Judgment Hammer is a slow move with mediocre range, making it easy to punish. The number 8 hammer is more powerful than 2-7 but weak compared to Judgment Hammer. The number 1 hammer does 12% damage without connecting and only 1% with a hit, failing to stun and often leading to the opponent landing a powerful attack.

Chef is a mediocre projectile, best used when the opponent avoids close combat.

Oil Panic allows Mr. Game & Watch to store up to three energy projectiles and return them powered up to a maximum of 60%. The absorb area is huge, making it reliable against projectile spam. Fully charged projectiles can kill at 0%. This move can be turned around quickly, making it effective against energy projectile spam.

Fire is Mr. Game & Watch's recovery move. It is invincible during its quick ascent, after which he deploys a parachute for slow downward drift. He can drift left/right and cancel the parachute with an aerial attack or special move, or put it away by tapping up/down. He cannot air dodge or jump directly from the parachute, and a grab input results in an attack. After use in the air, it cannot be used again without landing. Varying back and down aerials during descent can keep opponents guessing.

Mr. Game & Watch cannot wall jump, wall cling, or crawl, and has only one midair jump. He has a slow roll, a quick spot dodge, is the second lightest character, and has a very low crouch.

Mr. Game & Watch generally does well in most matches. He must be cautious against Marth, Ike, Olimar, and Toon Link (with Link as an honorable mention). Marth and Ike have range to compete, but the match is close to even due to Mr. Game & Watch's own range and priority. Toon Link and Link are difficult due to their well-spaced Bow and Boomerang attacks, which disrupt his approach. Olimar is a particularly bad matchup due to his small size making him hard to hit, and his ridiculous range and priority, especially on grabs. Mr. Game & Watch excels against Pit and Sonic, as Oil Panic and his great priority shut them down effectively.
