Table Flipping

Table Flipping is an advanced technique that can be used by Mr. Game & Watch in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U. It allows him to deflect projectiles by using his Down Tilt with the right timing, since it has pushboxes all over the attack. It is a very useful technique against physical projectiles, increasing Game & Watch defense against projectiles overall (since he can absorb energy attacks with Bucket). When timed correctly, it can also prevent opponents from recovering.

Projectiles that can be deflected

 * Pac-Man's Lazy Fruits: each fruit will be deflected at a different angle.
 * Olimar's Pikmins: instead of reflect, the Pikmin's momentum will be stopped and they will briefly freeze in mid-air before falling to the ground and returning to Olimar. Should Pikmin get killed by the attack, they will be pushed back by the wind and die in the air.

Other uses

 * When used against Olimar's Winged Pikmin, if only the pushboxes of Mr. Game & Watch's Down Tilt connect against Olimar, his Pikmin (if he has any) will be pushed away. This actually can help him recovery, as the pushboxes will send him very high in the air; but also allows Game & Watch to retaliate while Olimar is helpless.
