Dire Loves the Bucket

[TheStig]

I don't know if these have already been posted. This is Dire and Wes in teams. They have some interested bucket tactics. Pretty ridiculous bucket kills.

Wes and Dire

I seriously cannot get enough of that set. The bucket kills are just hilarious when it would kill either Snakeee or Shadow and the ridiculous hitlag of the attack would autokill the other.

A great example of why G&W is the best character in doubles.

 

[Pierce7d]

He's really not. Probably third best. G&W isn't as good as Snake or Wario in doubles, but I think he's third best.

 

[A2ZOMG]

No, G&W is clearly better than those two.

G&W has Up-smash and U-air momentum stall. G&W's Up-smash is THE number one attack in terms of safety and raw KO power after the Bucket. His U-air stall is like Bucket Braking for his teammate except it works at any percent.

Top tier edgecamping is also worth a nod.

 

[Pierce7d]

He's also extremely light, and therefore has a highly exploitable weakness. Wario has 0 weaknesses in doubles. Snake's ability to dish out damage, traps, provide kills, and live to stupid percentages is broken.

Usmash isn't a reason to consider him broken in doubles, nor is Uair. His Nair is pretty broken though.

 

[A2ZOMG]

G&W has Bucket Braking, so his light weight is much less an issue as he lives to higher percents than some other heavyweights. He is 100% safe on the ledge, while neither Wario nor Snake are safe there. Snake can be gimped, while G&W doesn't get gimped. Wario doesn't do as well in 2 v 1 situations as G&W does either. Snakes traps can be turned around on his team.

Grab U-smash is broken as it KOs anywhere from 60-70% on most characters and his up-smash CANNOT be punished at all anyway. U-air is broken by making his partner survive ANYTIME he is sent flying towards G&W.

GW's weight is offset by the fact that he can actually kill in doubles, very easily. Bucket braking helps a TON in doubles, GW can save his partner with uair because it stops all momentum(obm and I did this to each other when we teamed), GW can't be gimped, he is amazing at edgeguarding and saving his partner off the edge...

Sooo many other things to boot.

Snake is definitely not the best in doubles. I'd say MK, GW, and maybe Wario are better.

snakes grenades blow everone up in doubles

 

[Mr. Escalator]

G&W is so good in doubles it gives me shivers. Not Really, but still! He's definitely better than Snake.

 

[cutter]

I wonder if NY is still wanting to ban this tactic? lol.

 

[PhantomX]

Snake is also pretty juggleable in doubles. Wario, MK, GW are best three easy. Luigi is pretty ridiculous too, sometimes.

 

[PentaSalia]

Snake isn't bad in doubles D:,he's soso
he's more of a lone wolf lol

unless it's two snakes as teams
ssssnnakes on a plane ftw

M2K I'm pretty sure said Snake is clearly better than Metaknight in teams however.

I wonder why honestly....the only thing I can see Metaknight lacking in teams is any extremely gay team combo. Well...there is C4 omnigay, but that only works when paired with Snake and is fairly difficult to set up AND can be outstalled (since C4 detonates in over 20 seconds).

Um, G&W is the best team char, hands down.

he's like fox in melee--just grab upsmash all day.

+jiggz ability to save partner (chef to give back upB to someone off stage, and up-air on people flyinf over you)+great horizantal survivablity+shiek's edgecamping+jiggz rest (bucket).

Snake is like melee falco--he can easier hurt his teammate, and is actually easily gimped in team matches--meaning the threat of gimping him can let you mess with his partner.

MK is good, but except for the overrated omnigay, doesn't get *better* in teams.

Well there is the MK + G&W combo.

MK Uthrows while G&W Uairs.
Uair makes MK slam the opponent down on the "ground" up at the top border of the stage where the opponent just gets killed. Dunno the physics behind it, but it is essentially an omnigay in disguise.

I think that one works with Kirby's Uthrow too but I don't remember exactly.

G&W is too good in doubles. Wario loses all of his weaknesses but he can't support as well as G&W can. Wario can hold his own as well as G&W but just can't save his teamate like G&W.
