If Game and Watch was actually finished as intended (l cancel aireals and bigger shield) he might actually be viable. With a chain grab on spacies he could actually be around Samus and Yoshi in the right hands. It’s fascinating how small little mistakes can change a character so significantly

[@danistardust8264]

having a chaingrab on spacies alone isn't enough to make a character viable. Roy can chaingrab the spacies. Pichu can chaingrab the spacies GnW has decent mobility, range, and power, but there are still a lot of things that would need to be changed to make him good: -a much better grab (considering most his combos come off grab) -better oos options (at least fix spot dodge and roll) -a real projectile instead of neutral B (useless move)

I feel like a Melee 2.0 with only SLIGHT buffs to characters would make the game outlive any other.

Our closest thing: In 2010, Nintendo reissued Ball, the first G&W game. I don't think he'd work in any modern-type games, his whole shtick is that he basically belongs in the LCD land and era he's from, and kind of sticks out like a sore thumb anywhere else. (I'd totally buy if they did make new G&W games, though. They're fun to have!) I have always thought that a Game & Watch rhythm game would work today, though...

[@nathanlevesque7812]

[@longthanyouthink]

They had too becuase back in the day smash was so successfull for the 64 the devlopment team had one year to make melee. You can tell towards the end of the devlopment they rushed to much of the game to so it can be released with the Nintendo gamecube back in 2001. If Nintendo simply waited like 02 to 03 melee would be a prefect game and you would most likely have characters like sonic, snake, and maybe banjo back then. They was an article about how they want to get those characters in melee but due to time restrictions and copyright infringement for thrid party character back then it was hard for them to pull off this game and watch was thrown in there to just make a complete 24 character roster. People forget this and bash melee for it. It's the problem we have to today kids are impatience and what games rushed and then complain the the game is not finished.
