f-smash, fastest.


two silly questions for the better G&Ws (i want a answer i know is reliable)

on heavier characters (wolf, d3, etc.) is u-tilt ---> u-tilt ---> judge a practical combo? i mean, we all know its better to link them to nairs, but you can't tell me you wouldn't link it to judge from time to time if you could.

and say your opponents on the ledge, and you d-tilt them off it, at the anlge they're flying, is it possible to chase after them with a sliding-off-the-ledge-fancy-schmancy judge?

i don't really have a second person needed to test this stuff on. anyone wanna try it?

lol its ok.

Uhh... the way i do it is pretty much like, down-a + c-stick down.

Its weird. I don't care to use it much, it keeps me in the air longer then I like to be.

 

[PentaSalia]

ahhh thanks a bunch !!!:D

 

[UTDZac]

First execute a dair: Use Down+A or C-stick down.
Then fast-fall it: Use Down+A or C-stick down.

For some reason the fast-fall on G&W's dair makes it slow-fall instead. This is very useful.

I enterd a tourney 3 days after Genisi and the list of ppl going has been made and it includes their mains and stuff. one of the ppl i am a little skepitcal about me winning gasint is a dude that mains yoshi and Diddy. Diddy happesns to be my all-around weakness. I know how to counter with G&W but i was afraid the appoaches diddy has. And also the nanerz. Should abuse the naners agasint the Diddy or sit them out till they disappear and **** diddy with off the edge tactics?

But sadly the toruneys online, and i am not the only G&W there valdens is in it, never heard of him :/.

Stages allowed in the whole tourney.
final destination, battle field, pictochat,castle siege, yoshi island, corneria, lylat cruise, and smashville.


I was gonna go lylat ,pictochat, smash ville and battle field. sound good?

And this is like my 5th tourney so far but i always placed low. I am aiming but i am taking procautions.

How should i go about my stages and fighting a diddy?

When facing a Diddy, his strength is the nanas, so if you take that away, he'll be a little easier to beat, I'd say abuse the nanas, Also for the stages, Pictochat is a great place especially since you can bucket brake there more easily >.>

oh i thoughtthe only way was to press down +A then the cstick down right after
seemed a little difficult


but thanks alot for the extra info Zac, it's a lot easier using down +A twice lol....

What is the age for the youngest G&W player recorded?

 

[T3h Albino]

Me, Im 8 years young ;B

 

[Grey Belnades]

What is the age for the youngest G&W player recorded?

Um, random question...I'm sure there's no record of that so let's just say an 11 year old.

 

[NinjaLAW1234]

quck question im sure you get a lot and im sorry but what is the best way to bucket brake with g@w cause im picking him up as my new main

 

[NRD4toonlink]

As ur flying do a nair then Bucket Brake, if you go iimmediatley to
the bucket you will fail and do nothing -.- (speaking from ecperience)

 

[JustKindaBoredUKno]

nair as soon as you can ---> bucket

usually i just mash A as i DI, then as soon as nair comes out, mash down-b to bucket.

 

[NinjaLAW1234]

thank you i couldnt find a thread and i didnt want to make a new one

What do you guys think of the DK matchup?

 

[Grey Belnades]

What do you guys think of the DK matchup?

I have to say it depends, If its a DK that uses grabs more, it might be even imo, I have a friend who mains DK and he is very grabby, shieldgrabs, regular grabs. I can beat him but barely. If its a regular DK, I'd say its G&W's favor.

This is all my opinion.

 

[JustKindaBoredUKno]

Yeah, DK's just too big, and his recovery too gimpable. To be fair, I've never played a great DK, but I'd imagine so long as you space bairs, nairs, and fairs, it wouldn't be too hard.

 

[JustKindaBoredUKno]

double post, but i want people to think about it.

Think G&W would have trouble perceiving any other fighter in smash? How can a 2-D character see in 3-D? It'd be like us trying to grasp the concept of a creature living in the 4th dimension.

can you tell i'm bored?

My Question:

What moves can GaW cancel, and how can you do it for all those moves? Also what they can cancel into, if possible?
I don't know if its the same for all characters, i never learnt how to cancel. I dont know anything about it, really.

There's only 1 thing that I know of that is a kind of cancel, Bucketbraking.

 

[Splice]

Not momentum cancel lol. Thanks for reply though.
Like Cancel aerials into moves? i think you can cancel aerials when you land, from descriptions of stuff but i don't understand how to do it and what to do after it. I don't even know how you know if something canceled.
"Auto-cancel Nair" is a term i have heard. ???

Would anyone bother to test GaW's Grab release game? like distance people escape and how gaW can punsih? thanx

theres nothing to do with it. G&W is too small, his grab release will always be ground, and theres no way to punish thru it.

Dang. Thanks.
Are u sure it will always be ground?
Im pretty sure sometimes ppl escape in the air.

 

[JustKindaBoredUKno]

even if you find a situation where there might be an air break, your opponent has time to react no problem. Even on Wario off the ledge, you can't really do anything.

Sigh thats quite depressing.
Hm wonder what else can be done with GaW's Grabs.

[Nokon]

[Grey Belnades]

Snake, Marth and Metaknight for G&W
Luigi, Metaknight and Pit for Olimar
Pit, ZSS and Metaknight for ROB

 

[JustKindaBoredUKno]

MK isn't that bad for G&W. Especially not more so compared to the rest of the cast.

 

[JustKindaBoredUKno]

since this is the closest thing to a general discussion, thought i'd say

valdens beats ally 2-1 in winners

Go valdens.

 

[Lightning Tiger]

dang. Vids up on youtube yet?

 

[Nokon]

i'd love to see =]

I have my first tournament in a few days, and I need to know some effective ways to practice spacing, and getting control down. Please let me know of any advice on techniques, and anything else I should know. I've already read the "Making the best of your first tourny" thread in tactical discussion, but I still have some questions.

Any input is greatly appreciated, there will be a lot of marths there and I can only practice on cpus, please advise. Thank you.

Well, for spacing. All I can say is make use of the turtle and the only way to practice spacing is practicing against CPUs. Sorry if my advice sucks.

 

[DrPain]

No, thank you for giving me advice. I can can only play cpus anyway.

 

[Publix]

Has anyone noticed that if you charge a Up-smash alot of people will get sucked into it like bugs to a lightzapper? i love it. Good luck Dr. Pain.

 

[Grey Belnades]

I've been wondering and should the G&W boards have a social thread?
