Do any of you have any Falco tips? I have a hard time against his laser game (okay, my matches are online on which it's harder to powershield but eh).

 

[Lightning Tiger]

Crouch. Bucket. D tilt. Try force him to approach.
F smash, D tilt, F tilt will all stop his phantasm if the hitbox is out.
Airdodge through his side b and u can punish easily. its quite laggy.

[izzy24]

Press down during the move to slow fall

u see i do that, but it doesn't "seem" to make a difference :/

 

[NoBio]

You could be pressing to at the wrong time, if you do it right, you will see a difference.

[izzy24]

when do i ff it then...at the start?

 

[NoBio]

As soon as G&W starts falling with the key you can slowfall it by pressing down.

scroll down to shiek http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=174763

 

[UTDZac]

Help!

I need videos demonstrating that Chef is a good projectile. Preferably ones showing Chef being used as an edge guard tactic (hit the opponent off the stage and spill bacon in his path as he tries to recover).

If you know of any, please post. Thanks =)

 

[PentaSalia]

isnt your vid vs tryant a good example o.o?

 

[Icyo]

Why dost thou falleth when thou is attempting to jump on the right most edge on the map OF Yoshi's Island?!

 

[kaak]

10) While hanging off of the right ledge of Yoshi's Island, pressing the jump button while under 100% damage will cancel the jump-from-ledge animation and cause G&W to fall down as if he just released from the ledge. This is very useful in that you are slightly above the stage after jumping, allowing you to stand up on stage from the ledge with shield or any attack. This also works on Pictochat, Distant Planet, and Corneria.

why?

i dont know just a fail of the engine?

@ UTD
I have a Replay on my wii where i use chef as a jigglypuff recovers to the edge, one of the bacons hit jiggs right before he grabs the edge and i hyphen Usmash, killing him. I don't know how to send it to you or upload it, I don't have an SD card reader oh well

 

[summa]

so earlier today i was playing a level 9 lucas, and as he was recovering i jumped right over him and pulled out the bucket (which had 0 charges at the time) right as he was going to up B to recover. a bit later i went to bucket some other projectile and my bucket was full for some reason.

i think this sort of bug happens when his up-b is directly on a characters body, since i think i remember that if you air dodge his up b early and its inside the char at the end of the air dodge, it does more damage or something too.

anyways i was just wondering if anyone knew about this bug type thing, since i didnt see anything about it in the bucket thread and couldnt find a lucas matchup thread.

 

[PentaSalia]

its not a bug..o.O

Game and watches bucket absorbs Lucas' recovery
that blue string looking thing lol

same for ness

 

[kewl]

game and watch is just too good like that.

 

[summa]

sorry i probably didnt describe that really well, but what happened was absorbing lucas' up b once gave my bucket 3 charges.

 

[PentaSalia]

yes it does that too lol

 

[kaak]

sorry i probably didnt describe that really well, but what happened was absorbing lucas' up b once gave my bucket 3 charges.

because the tail of the upB of ness/lucas

 

[JagaTranvo]

Whats better when smashed(either direction) to bucket or to dair?

 

[UTDZac]

sorry i probably didnt describe that really well, but what happened was absorbing lucas' up b once gave my bucket 3 charges.

If G&W absorbs the ball of Lucas's UpB, he will only get 1 charge for the bucket. However, it's possible to absorb the tail of the ball and fill a bucket without absorbing the ball at all. You can get a full bucket and still have Lucas's UpB traveling around. The bucket filled with just the tail isn't nearly as strong as if it was filled with 3 balls.

Try this. Get a Lucas and a G&W to stand next to each other, about a G&W length apart. Have the Lucas use UpB and move it towards the G&W with is bucket already out. What should happen is that G&W gets two charges, one from the ball and one from the tail.

Whats better when smashed(either direction) to bucket or to dair?

I don't understand your question exactly. Are you asking "What attack should I used after being sent flying away from an attack?" then the answer is ALWAYS Nair -> Bucket. There are very rare cases when the Dair, and its fast downward pull, will save you better than the bucket. But these cases so rare it's not even worth learning. Plus the reaction time required to realize such a case, it just won't happen.

If you're still curious, it has to do with stages that have smaller ceilings. Stages with larger ceilings should always be momentum cancelled by the bucket. Always!

 

[Noraa]

what are the characters you can fsmash after dthrow?

 

[Splice]

Kirby, and another GaW, definitely.
ZSS and Jiggs as well possibly, but last time I tried it didnt work on a jiggs. I was confused.
I'd imagine just the lightest of characters would get hit by this.

 

[PentaSalia]

most of the light ones

and some other characters too but only when they're at high enough damage

 

[moyshe]

I need help on the diddy match up bad. One of my friends mains diddy and he got pretty decent with him. I used to be able to 2 stock him no problem but now He almost one stocks me or beats me every time. Anyone have any vids I can watch or any advice. Bananas just screw me up to much and so does his grab range.

 

[A2ZOMG]

what are the characters you can fsmash after dthrow?

I do it against Olimar all the time. I grab him near the edge, he lands behind me, I just F-smash him and kill him LOL.

 

[DUB]

Would someone explain how the bucket interacts with all of Thunder & T-Jolt.

G&W can fill it if he is under a platform and Pika thunders?

Will filling the bucket up with aerial T-jolts alone produce the most knockback?

 

[YungPhil]

Hey whats a good secondary for G & W?
I was thinking of using wario or PT

 

[Dre89]

I doubt there's any matchup where PT does better than GW, plus it's not really worth the time to learn an extra three chars simply for a secondary.

 

[kewl]

wario would be your best bet.
wario's an aerial beast like g&w.

on the other hand, PT does go even with Snake, but does hella bad vs Diddy and MK, and even worse vs Marth.

 

[2-2]

Snake would be the best secondary since he can handle GnW's hardest matchups

 

[JustKindaBoredUKno]

It depends on personal preference and ability.

If you can handle learning an entirely different character, go with snake.

If you want a character with at least a few similar characteristics, go with Wario.

It's such a ***** learning Snake if you're a G&W main. I'm accustomed to being able to aerial my way down to the ground safely. That's a lot harder to do with snake, and I always end up nairing and getting punished for it =/

 

[NatP]

Id say that DK is the best secondary, atleast IMO. He has the tools to handle snake and marth, two of g&w's hardest matchups (I may just be saying this because I love both of this matchups). Of course you'll still have Diddy and Meta to worry about, but you'll have to worry about them with almost any character.
