holy ****.

I just figured out one of the greatest doc myths nobody gives a flying **** about.

Doc vs G&W.

It's kinda common knowledge (for all 3 doc who's ever played this matchup, lol) that you "cant d.throw g&w". And for some odd reason, every once in a while the game lets you do it.

I finally ****ing figured out what the mystery behind this **** is.

Port Priority.

If doc has the higher priority, he can d.throw g&w and it will have the normal d.throw properties. If G&w has higher port, he will just bounce on the ground immediately after the d.throw at ANY % (even 999%). (And for anybody who doesnt know, g&w can tech IMMEDIATELY upon being d.thrown in this situation.)

So yeah, next time you see a ****ing g&w, snag that first slot and rock that maa****er. Unless you think he doesnt know about all this, then just d.throw -> d.smash him all day. XD


And for anybody who's curious, i've also tested this with mario and luigi. Ironically, mario and luigi can NEVER d.throw g&w, regardless of port priority.

Dumb, huh?

counter? Wouldnt say that. Yet another bad matchup? Sure, but he's a bottom tier- that's to be expected.

I mean it's not like g&w cant do anything against doc, the mother****er still out ranges him. XD

And omni *points to first post*, you're not teching **** if we have port priority.

aaaaaaagggggggghhhhhhh...........
yaaaaaaaa, this is true. My friend mains Doc and I main G&W and we both know this.

He tries to d-throw all ztimez, its a pretty good way to raken up damage if done right or if they don't think of escaping it.

Have you guys seen Magus' throw frame data? 'Cause this doesn't make sense in that context... wonder why that is.

GnW doesn't care about this stuff. He counters Doc/Mario anyways!
