SSBB Character review 15

#15: Mr. Game & Watch

Does the name ring a bell? Yes, we did a play on words from this character for the name of our web site. Gamah Watch Game & Watch... Heh. My idea.
Anyway, G&W is one of the oldest characters out there, and you are a very fortunate person if you own one of the old Game & Watch hand-helds. He first appeared in Smash Bros. in Melee, as one of the last characters you are most likely to get. What makes him so cool is that he is flat. And black. And that's it, he's just a simple, flat and black guy.
He moves oddly, but not slowly, and his smash attacks are very powerful.
I think his least effective move is his B attack, where he flips sausages into the air. They don't do much damage.
His Over+B move is a gamble, it has 9 different possibilities. The higher the number you get when using it, the more damage it does. 8 freezes, and 9 is like a Home run-bat smash.
G&W's Down+B move is one of those reflecty/absorby moves, which I hardly ever use. His recovery move sends him high to the air, and you can float down with a parachute if you want.
An additional move between Melee and Brawl is his midair Down+A move, he smashes down with a key, which is pretty effective.
Octopus, G&W's Final Smash is one of my favorite FSs, he turns into an octopus, then you can jump around and smack people with your tentacles. It can dish out lots of KOs depending on how many people are on the stage.
