Alternate Recovery

[Staco]

I think I had a good alternative recovery startegie for GaW.
First cancel the hit lag (or directly up b out of hit stun for an extra upward boost).
Then parachute to the stage.
Short before the stage cancel the parachute with an aerial, then you can still use your second jump.

Hitlag? What exactly are you talking about? Hitlag only happens when a hitbox makes contact with a hurtbox and you get that short delay before hitstun.

Being able to double jump after dropping your parachute has been known for a long time now. It does work really well; I used it in tournament against messiahfreak to prevent me from getting edgehogged (because I was coming back at a very awkward angle).

I don't think an alternate recovery is necessary, G&W is already pretty much immune to gimping.
Its a nice mix-up, but it doesn't promise what bucket braking does.

Its hard to recover against chars like MK from below. There this could be used.

Try playing against M2K then get back with me. I used to think the same thing.

I really like this idea. Most people don't know that G&W can jump after his upB. I'm using this.

Well, Neb did say "pretty much" immune. But yeah, G&W can get gimped, but only by over the top good players.

This way of recovering is useful for mixup against a good MK player.

I *have* been using this. It's pretty good as far as mixups go.
