Cactuarz wants his G&W to be checked out and loved by all.

[Cactuarz]

Also, how did I do? I only have matches vs Ally/NoJ up right now (sounding like brawl much?) and would like some feedback. I will upload more matches when my laptop gets fixed and I can split/upload those vids.

I LOVE YOU G&W BOARDS

even though your members are few and far between.

[QERB]

sweet i watched a few of the vids, i'll watch the rest later cuz i have a final tomorrow LOL.

your spacing against marth i noticed was definitely really on point. Not many complaints there (:

For your falcon game, I would definitely recommend using more u-tilts, since it rips through nearly anything he can do (all his shuffld attacks). Another thing I like to do, i think Mr. Phenom also likes this start (correct me if i'm wrong), is to spam sausages when you're at a distance against falcon. As bad as the sausages might be, it's still a projectile lol...and the only projectile falcon has is....himself? So when you spam those it forces him to approach from directly above (assuming your on either side of the stage, and not the middle of FD persay). Falcon approaching from directly above is definitely something we want, as we have plenty of moves to **** him with when he's above (u-tlit, u-air...you can wd back to f-smash, shield grab...etc) Another small thing, after a manhole at low %s against falcon you can grab him right out of it. Good edgeguarding with the n-air and such, and nice up-b trip at the end, gotta love those.

I'll watch the others later for sheezy, good ****

 

[Cactuarz]

*twinkly eyes* yay! I like your G&W QERB. I like utilt against C.F. for sure, but ally... is weird, he doesn't seem to believe in short hopping and is hard for me to read =(.

I should bacon more against him, dtilt > grab sounds amazing... if it works against fox/falco that would be nice. I'll tinker around with these at a smashfest this weekend.

 

[QERB]

haha you're right ally's melee style is very unorthodox, but good.

anyways against fox/falco you can do the d-tilt to grab at low %'s, but NOT at 0. at 0, you can either follow with a bugspray (the neutral A attack) or you can do another d-tilt and try to tech chase. but if they're already at (i'm gonna guess) 7%-30%, you can follow the d-tilt with a grab. and if they get hit too high, then just follow with whatever aerial you want. k back to studying >_>

 

[Cactuarz]

hmm, with a bugspray I guess I could follow with a JC grab? higher %'s possibly a SH last hit bair to grab? hmm, provided they don't SDI the dtilt of course. i'll test this out =D thanks

 

[The Phenom]

Another thing I like to do, i think Mr. Phenom also likes this start (correct me if i'm wrong), is to spam sausages when you're at a distance against falcon. As bad as the sausages might be, it's still a projectile lol...and the only projectile falcon has is....himself? So when you spam those it forces him to approach from directly above (assuming your on either side of the stage, and not the middle of FD persay). Falcon approaching from directly above is definitely something we want, as we have plenty of moves to **** him with when he's above (u-tlit, u-air...you can wd back to f-smash, shield grab...etc)

I'll watch the others later for sheezy, good ****

Your **** right Mr.QERB I like sausages/bacon to be hurled out to opponents! QERB is right.



As a side not: You did good by thinking of going in confident against Needle in your matches; you would know why if you did think this such way.

-This is a good habit of instincts (just generally speaking), thinking; it's just plain smart to not take advantage of thinking this way when the situation calls for.

ATTACK SPACING

Spacing your Fair; for lessening the chances of being grabbed or Dtilted.

-Both Needle and you had an iota amount of instances where both of you didn't space it properly and got Dtilted, shield grabbed. It's ok though since Needle's timing is probably off and your just learning Game and Watch; just work on your Fair spacing a little bit more until you have solidified the habit of it.

Spacing your Dtilt; for lessening the chances of not getting grabbed when pressuring your opponents with it.

-You already have fundamental spacing with it.

Spacing your Nair; not necessarily one of the better attacks to be used offensively or as a follow up start attack with Game and Watch but isn't punishable in some cases; you would best want to try this when your opponent is facing the other direction in which he can't grab, Ftilt, Utilt, F-Smash you out of his shield right away.

-Benefit of throwing it out once in a while is so your opponents won't find you too selective of your attack choices; I didn't see much attack mix ups in your matches.

Spacing the Bair; not used to much in the videos to conclude something about your Bairing.

-Good job on not trying to use it on Marth LOL! and fighting Fair against Fair; you could have however used it against Needle and when Ally was using Captain Falcon(in appropriate situations of course); I'll tell you which situations later.

Spacing the Uair; who would want to try and do that?

-09-09-09

ATTACKS YET TO BE CRITIQUED (will vary in match up types where applicable)

The Turtle, Chef, Uair

-I felt I couldn't critique that much from the little implication so far of the Uair and Turtle which is why it's still on the waiting list to be critiqued.

TIPS

You can pressure your opponents with Dtilt + neutral A when you find them in their shield; 2 follow ups I will mention here about pressuring are...

-You can toss a sausage/bacon onto the opponent (they will either take the hit or choose to shield) WD towards and Dtilt first to Neutral A , Or you can FH/SH a a late Fair onto the opponent and Dtilt to Neutral A.

-Capitalize when they make they make a mistake or try getting out of the shield pressure.

-Make me happy and land a tossing sausage/bacon and follow it up with something like this =D and you'll make me happy for ever =)

Dair; try to land behind opponents with it; I didn't see you try this in the videos; go figure; all Game and Watches should strive for this.

FURTHER TIPS

You have to memorize the trajectories of each sausage/bacon. I'll give you tips how to practice memorizing them on AIM (you could do this all independently if you want as well). Just something all Game and Watches should know I think.

-on AIM.
