nice work i can't believe you actually did that o.o

but anyway nice that helps my G&W even though he isn't ma main

Edit: Oh btw extremely nice G&W your my favourite player for this char

thanks, i cant test out anything from what we know to be true about the hammer.. just need suggestions

Boo. C sucks.



It's admirable to test stuff like this, but we need to know everything about the hammer before we can compile something like this. Even if we did know everything, actually applying it to our real matches at this point is a no-go.
