Attribute Change Ideas for Game and Watch

[scrumpy]

I'm really interested in modifying Mr. Game and Watch because of how unique he is and how close he is to being an almost okay character already. Here are some things I have been thinking over.

Please feel free to comment on these; they can't all be good lol

Friction: 0.06 --> 0.045
This makes Mr. Game and Watch a little more slippery. For reference, Ice Climbers have a friction of 0.035. This, in turn, makes Mr. Game and Watch have a longer wavedash. Game and Watch already has okay ground mobility, but I think a little boost to that wouldn't hurt.

Gravity: 0.095 --> 0.1
This makes Game and Watch ever so slightly less floaty (airtime may last one or two frames maximum more on a SHFFL). This very slight change will stay true to GnW, but make his combo and punish games just that much tighter.

Weight: 60 --> 80
Yikes! 60 is a terrible weight. For reference, Marth has a weight of 87, and SD Remix GnW has a weight of 75. This will make him die not quite so early.

Shield Size: 10.125 --> 16.25
Mr. Game and Watch has a craptastic shield; it's so bad, in fact, that GnW mains often rely on light shielding because the normal shield is nearly useless. This massive shield size buff makes his shield good (but not stupidly so).

Dash Length: 9 --> 15
This is just here to improve his dashdance game and, as a little bonus, make moonwalking easier.




I'll probably make a post addressing his moves later.

Hey, so I think your ideas for G&W so far are definitely a step in the right direction. Better mobility would certainly improve his approach options, and amping up his survivability would be great. I cry a little bit every time i play game and watch.... he /so/ close to being good.

Please make all of his aerials l-cancelable. Also consider some of the changes that PM made to him, such as being able to use oil panic with less than 3 projectiles, putting the dots about the judgement hammers, auto-canceling the chef if you land and acting out of recovery (jumping & attacking -- a bit of a stretch though). Not to be 'greedy' but what about being able to bucket his own bacon?
