Beginner Discovers New Tech for G&W

[Zachary Cervone]

Witnessed this happy accident while messing around on For Glory. Was playing against a clearly new player to the game who was picking G&W in hopes of getting a lucky 9 and winning. What ended up happening actually blew my mind as I have never seen even top level G&W players try this (not even the legendary GimR). Essentially he fell too far on accident and was past the point where G&W could reach with a Trampoline so he randomly used Judge got a 1 and the damage that it dealt to himself made it so he could use Trampoline again and saved his life. The odds are not the greatest but there are definitely situations where this could be applied and maybe save a G&W that would have normally slowly drifted down to his doom.

Edit: Debunked by GimR but still interesting tech https://twitter.com/VGBC_GimR/status/648603207523037184

I can see it having some merit if looked into a bit more, but I don't know how much use it'd have in competitive play. Especially since you're at the mercy of RNG.

Could you imagine if this was legitimately caused by the 1 hammer and you used extreme judge? G&W would be broken as heck lol.

yeah it would've been well known and patched out by now if you actually could. please try to recreate things like this in practice mode or something yourself before you make a post about it

If you really wanna know, it was the phantom footstool from Charizard that gave G&W his Fire back.
