I don't care if he sucks - I use him anyway. But I have noticed that it is difficult to use him against good players online. So I can't imagine how difficult it would be to use him against competitive players in the same scenarios.

ROBnWatch, I love your avatar!

I don't even really care if GDubs is good or not anymore. It annoyed me in the first two weeks of the game, but now I just don't care. I still use him regardless and if I win a match it's awesome and if I lose it's fine. I play for those awesome moments where you land a clutch 9, or do an...

I don't have time to make a detailed reply, but you absolutely must not be aggressive with G&W. You cannot afford to exchange damage with characters faster than you or with a longer reach. So, you have to defend the edge, grab, throw them in the air, or over the edge and then try to gimp them...

You're right. dthrow is such an effective combo. I've only started using it in the last 50 matches or so (I was never good enough to grab in Brawl) and since then my win percentage has shot up. I played my cousin the other day for the first time since learning to grab and he was complaining...

Characters with excellent reach, easy mistake power and good weight, I guess. I haven't played many Ike's which is part of the problem, but I struggle against him because he has such good reach in every direction and can score low %age KOs on GDubs if he lands a mistake hit. He's certainly very...

Evade. Poke. Gimp. Check the thread in this forum called 'Propaganda'. The first post is a good break down on how GDubs should be played in this game. :)

Firstly, brilliant post. You're right. It's time to forget Brawl, cast away the shackles and lamentations of his nerfs, and work towards utilising his tools and assets the best we can! I see you quoted something I said the other day - about GDubs not being able to kill until higher %s. I posted...

Agreed on all points to be honest. I started shielding (instead of purely rolling) and grabbing more and I've won 8 of my last 10 online games. Also, I'm really loving his f-tilt in this game. I don't remember it being that powerful! I think all the losses forced me to start developing...

So, yeah, I'm really feeling the nerfs now. My online record is 13-22 (all Game & Watch). I am by no means a 'great' smash player. But I am not 13-22 bad (probably more around the 50/50 mark to be honest). The majority of my matches are very close but it's just so difficult to have to get...

Oh god... I'm so inconsistent with GDubs in this game. I can't seem to land his aerials reliably. It's pretty clear at this point, for me at least, that his approach is to use aerials (which he still excels at), the dash attack and the chair (which has surprising knockback in this game!) I just...

Really?! I wonder if the reviews of him have been wrong. Really, if that move still kills sub 100% then I think G&W has a good chance to be as good as last game. Especially with his buffed fair and dash and even with the nerfed dair.

I'm remaining optimistic. Do you know if the sweet spot of the fsmash is still as strong as Brawl and as consistent at KOing?

I hope you're right... this is all I'm holding onto right now. The smash zones are huge in this game, I'm hoping we just need to adjust expectations of KOs.

He doesn't look that much weaker, tbh. Sure his dair and his dtilt are really nerfed, but I think the longer smash allies are making him seem weaker. I think all characters are suffering from higher % kills.
