I see a lot of potential with his counter tree custom move, as it trips opponents as a sprout and does damage to any opponents that hit it as a tree.His tree also has potential in that you can KO with the axe, or push someone away from recovery with the watering can. His pocket is not only one of, if not the best reflector in the game, but has invincibility frames and works well with a b-reverse. I really wish villager got more time to shine, even if he kinda banks on projectiles and stalling and has trouble with anything with a reflector.
