Go for GAW, I picked him up a couple of weeks ago. Soooo much fun!

You can replace his roll with his wavedash

Dtilt ***** everything, same with the chute

Yoshi's sheild sucks too (in a different way), but v3ctorman still *****

Lol G&W sucks against anyone who can pressure

D-tilt is ****, chute is ****, every one of G&W's moves ****

Lol you can frikkin edgeguard fast fallers by running off with them, waiting for them to recover to the ledge, up-b into them from below, land on the stage, u-tilt and f-air brick them off again

2 good



His edgeguards are so **** cause every single one of his moves lasts days

 

[ruhtraeel]

If it wasn't for his weight, his tiny shield, his crap rolls and Fox he would be top tier

 

[Tyson651]

^ sounds like every other low tier character

 

[x After Dawn x]

Sheik ***** low tiers better than Fox does. most low tiers are low tiers cause they have no combo game, can't approach, get chaingrabbed or comboed really hard, or they can't kill. Rolls don't mean much as much as having good oos options or a large shield.

And yeah G&W's moves last forever...even after you land and then you figure you can't L-cancel them >_>

edit: funny thing last night; i was at a playground with some people doing what you would expect people to do at a playground at midnight...this truck pulls up in the parking lot and just sits there and parks, and we get kinda worried that they're watching us or some ****, or maybe gonna call the cops. then we wait a few minutes and you see lighters going and they're hotboxing hahahaha

Only meh moves can't be l-cancelled... u-air and b-air

Fox u-smash > all of Sheik's moves > G&W

G&W can't approach, he can just throw out high priority moves and space his brick/manhole

 

[Sraigux]

Would GAWs light sheild make up for it's size?

Also, GAW is pretty much a glass cannon. He has a dominating attack game, but his defense sux.


Edit: lol Tyler, sketching out. Fun fact: even if it was cops, just don't mind them, they will just think you don't know better

 

[Alphicans]

His light shield is still balls + now he will slide. You can't get away from GaW sucking unless you play brawl.

What's wrong with sliding? Isn't it a good way to get some breathing room? Better than his roll at least.

Brawl GAW is actually a guilty pleasure of mine. He's the only thing I like about brawl.

 

[x After Dawn x]

no. play luigi and get shined by fox and you'll see why sliding is bad.

better yet, watch carl's fox dominate victor's luigi

 

[SuPeRbOoM]

You get more shield stun while you're light shielding.

lolololololololol

tru fax: carl's weakness is luigi.

 

[Sraigux]

Question answered.

I guess I will just have to gamble with the shield, just like with the hammer. Or perhaps this is more incentive to incorporate WD into my game. Hmmmm....

 

[FalseFalco]

Nobody has really tried using lightshielding effectively in the melee metagame. I bet it would have some interesting results. I want to try using it with marth sometimes because he gets stabbed really easy when he's on a platform, but it's really hard to do it properly. Most of the time I end up not shielding instead of lightshielding.

What? You can Light Shield near the edge of a platform to be able to perform an instant aerial. Its a decent trap.

 

[x After Dawn x]

kage vs carl 2011 rematch gogo

 

[Sraigux]

So does getting pushed off a platform in lightshield eliminate the shieldstun?

 

[Stevo]

that's the idea, yea

you can do it with regular shielding too, as long as it still pushes you off the platform

 

[Crusayer]

If I recall, Shiz really liked doing that shield pushed off instant aerial. No one else really does it as much but I've seen it several times at least \o/

Paul (sleak): are you gonna come to alberta beat down?

I'd like to.

Wavedash =/= replacement for shield. Just learn to powershield.

Ironically I like to powershield a lot now that I use marth more.

^I do this sometimes.

You're right but with marth I usually use regular shield instead

 

[sleak-]

when/wheres the alberta beat down? does it have melee and mvc3?

 

[Alphicans]

Here's the link http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=302670

It's on June 25th, in edmonton. There will be both MvC3 and melee.

VICTOR PLEASE PUT THIS IN THE OP AND TITLE.

 

[ruhtraeel]

How do you get out of pressure with G&W lol

I guess you could tilt your shield and lightshield, but with his crap rolls it's like Samus but with less defence


lots of WD OoS I guess


TBH I don't even know how to lightshield properly other than holding Z and pulling it out AFTER your grab


Lol but the manhole/chair edgeguard. Chair TRADES WITH MARTH'S UP B



Characters I now play:
Falco
Fox
Puff (Not really anymore)
Falcon
Roy
G&W
Doc/Mario (Sorta)
Ganon (Not really)

Are you ever going to realize Victor isn't useful and just ask Mike to do it?

TBH I don't even know how to lightshield properly other than holding Z and pulling it out AFTER your grab

You press R or L (lightly)

Lol is this how you try to lower metaknight on the tier list? or are you just being unfair. I'd hate to play on norfair with MK

To me the first one definately is more of a chick, and thankfully it is. By no means whatsoever did I think the second wasn't a dude. And even if I was wrong, it's not like anyone could ever be attracted to it and then unpleasantly surprised.
