It's a difficult choice, but I would say mid-low tier. He doesn't have amazing combo game, but has a decent number of KO options, and deals a good damage options.

GnW is hard to judge as a consistant play style, aside from throw combos, he seems to be un-established. It's sorta like fighting Charizard players on FG. Their play styles vary to large degrees until you run into that bad dude you didn't see coming. For every 30 you fight, you'll run across 1 that knows everything about that character. Those fights are fun to watch. And those bad dudes have an unspoken consistency, you just don't see unicorns often.

Yeah...
is low-mid (ranked 40th of 58) due to a couple of nerfs: the loss of Bucket Braking (which helped him stay alive for quite a while in Brawl) and having slower recovery on some moves like some of his tilts. But on the bright side he possesses high damage output with things like back-air, neutral air, or even up-tilt. His grapple game is better than Brawl in that his throws not only execute faster, but his down throw is quite the combo starter.

game and watch is slow and has laggy moves, he's an unfortunate combination of light and floaty, and he gets juggled pretty badly.
but, he has two trump cards between the bucket and judge, his combo game is decent, and he has reasonably good kill power. prolly lower-mid tier; he has major problems but he's better than falco or pac-man.

Zero has a pretty big high tier, I think he should have a bigger mid myself, but order wise G&W doesn't fall much lower than where Zero puts him, I'd say he is 35th-36th at worst atm. G&W isn't low tier, his momentum swing is too strong imo. He has top tier damage output, but a subpar neutral and OK kill potential. Putting on 40%+ in one grab in a true combo is pretty amazing and rare, and on characters with decent toot toot ranges he can take a stock extremely quickly even without gimping or 9 by catching a few landings. He can be pretty amazing, definitely too good for low tier. As long as you can get in G&W is extremely formidable. Most of his bad matchups come from never being able to catch the opponent or not getting enough off his punishes. If you can make up for that with player reading and patience you can beat pretty much anyone.
