Judge (move)

Judge (known as Judgment in Super Smash Bros. Melee) is Mr. Game & Watch's side special move in the Super Smash Bros. series. When used, Mr. Game & Watch will attack with his hammer and hold up a digital display with random number (ranging from 1 to 9) on it. Each number has a different effect on the victim(s) and possibly Mr. Game & Watch himself. The effects associated with numbers follows:

One custom variant that appears in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U is Extreme Judge, with the only numbers picked are 1 and 9, though 9 deals less knockback. Another variant is Chain Judge, which has none of the numbers do different effects. Instead, the move hits several times, corresponding with the chosen number.
