Why?

[Ripple]

just curious, but does anyone know why the game programmers didn't put in a programed l-cancel for 3 of 5 of G&W's aerials?

 

[TheBlackrose]

balance! naw idk anything about G&W but thats my guess

 

[JPOBS]

for teh mindgamez!

no but seriosuly, well i'll take guess. Nair (parachute) has almost no wind down lag. its come back in very quickly.

Bair (Bitey the turtle), well, he has some noticable lag but its not really too killer. like you could live without it resasonably well.

Uair, well, who the **** uses that anyway

i have no clue why they didnt do it.

LOL I use Uair for low percentage juggles but yeah... I have no idea why they made it so GaW couldn't L-cancel. maybe he was the joke character?

 

[chronofreak]

Maybe it's because of his animations. GaW's moves aren't fluid animations like all the other characters'. When you L-Cancel with someone else, the animations speed up to finish the attack quicker, but with GaW, the attacks' animations are only a few frames long, so there isn't anything to speed up. (I'm just making this up as I go.) But it makes sense, if you think about it. The nair, uair, and bair attacks are all animated until they're finished, and these are the moves that can't be L-Canceled. However, the two attacks that don't animate all the way through are the same two that can be L-Canceled: fair and dair. Maybe since these two stop animating after the beginning of the attack, the game responds to L-Canceling by simply cutting short the stagnant frame at the end.

they thought he would be too good so they made him more laggy

 

[mood4food77]

you can l'cancle the parachute (at least i thought you can)

not sure about the other 2, i think you can but hte difference is not really noticeable

 

[CmRoddy]

You can L-cancel his air attacks, but the way he moves (skipping frames) makes it look like he isn't L-canceling. I notice a difference in speed when I SHFFL correctly.

 

[Ripple]

no, he can not l-cancel those three at all
