He Is Too Friggin LIGHT

[Prince Of Fire]

Hey, Game was orginally my FAVORITE character. Then, I reaized how light he is!!!! He is SICK in the air but how do you guys get around his weight??? I find if i get smashed out off the stage it spells D-e-a-t-h for me because of his "get back" game if you will. He is such an easy target for the likes of Shiek, Marth, or roy.

What do you guys do to defend? I like the dtilt but that is about it.

Learn to space properly. If you can't do that, you're ****ed.

*EDIT* Hey I just noticed you are from CT. Are you going to any New england tournaments this month? If so, I can play against you and maybe give pointers if you need them.

 

[Prince Of Fire]

Link me to them! If I can call out of work and go with 1-3 of my friends, i am there! Or should i just go check the tournament discussion? haha Game is not my character...(Marth is God)

It's all about DI. You can survive to 110% and greater with the right DI. Especially moves that send you diagonally. G&W also has an extremely good crouch cancel, so know when to abuse it. Some moves though, like the knee or Ganon's fair, are just to strong and you really have no choice but to die early lol.

 

[Prince Of Fire]

Hes good at CCing? Really? I would think he would be the worst....hmm

 

[Speedsk8er]

CCDtilt is too good.

Also, space those moves.

DI is DEFINITELY key. Especially since GaW can be KOed easily off of the top AND the side. GaW is NOT meant to trade blows with people.

I have a bigger complaint...

why does his shield break so darn easy?


Its just another little thing about G&W that he didn't deserve.


As for his weight, use DI. Try to be tricky with your recovery.

Parachute is always your best friend.

 

[Speedsk8er]

GaW got gimped so bad when it comes to defense. D: Offensively, he's pretty decent but defensively, he's total garbage.

 

[S2]

Yeah it just kinda sucks.

CC and a backwards wavedash should not be his only form of defense.

Although using his d-tilt into n-air is alway nice, every once and a while when someone suckers for it.

 

[Prince Of Fire]

his F air and b air is prett dissapointing as well. His F smash is sick...but range is weak compared to that of Marth....

Dude, Fair is his most reliable move. And Bair would be my approach of choice if he could L-cancel it.

 

[BlargCow]

I think nintendo tried to balance his horrible shield with his horrible down B, which doesn't help his defense at all.

Agreed- His Fair is the move of choice because you can L-Cancel it, it has good damage and can be chained easily AND it's great for edgeguarding. Credit Card (Isn't it a credit card?) of DOOM!

 

[Cereal Rabbit]

His Dair is good.....

It goes under shields when you land!

 

[A2ZOMG]

Hes good at CCing? Really? I would think he would be the worst....hmm

The worst at CCing is probably Luigi. Mario and Doc aren't much better either.

G&W is like top of the high tier in CCing. He's not the best, but he's really, really good at it. People who are better than him in CCing are like Roy, Marth, Falco, and Samus.

 

[Kips]

A good move for him is to CC into D-Tilt into Parachute. Makes for a nice way to deal with people in close if you want some space.

 

[A2ZOMG]

Don't forget, the D-tilt happens to be one of G&W's best vertikill options, the other two being his Up and Down Smash.

 

[Kips]

His Up-Smash has too much lag to be used on anything but a helpless falling opponent and his Down Smash needs to be tipped. I prefer his FSmash and the Up Tilt to set up a Parachute.

Upsmash has ******** lag. BUT I think the ground hit for his Dair sets up for a tipped Dsmash.

 

[Bacon Man11]

I like G&W's F-smash, it's super powered at a level of over 9000.

 

[Kips]

DAir is a nice spike when comboed with D-Tilt. Seems like all of his best combos are all from the D-Tilt. U-Tilt is pretty handy as an interruptor too.
