Ahhh you didn't dsmash or dtilt at all this game.
- if snake pressure your shield with tilts/nades try upB oos.
. You were playing too careful in both matches in all your stocks. G&W can easily approach DK and he can only block and run away lol. When you're at early % i suggest being aggresive(but not reckless). Mix up your bair approaches and if he tries hiding under a platform, go for full hop bairs(but space it enough that you won't get grabbed and you can up and B out of it if u miss). If Dk starts spamming his own bairs, wait for him to bair,approach a bit,shield, and if he bairs again, run up to him and nair right away(so basically punish his bairs with your nairs). If he doesn't bair again, pressure his shield with a SH bair of your own. Once you're around 50-60% you can start being a bit more campy because you'll be in kill damage.
. If DK is ever above you,just up and B. If you miss just do a fast fall bair back on stage but if you hit him,you have him in the air so follow up. Don't let DK approach you that easily
Going off your first video, you should have baired most of the time 1.15-1.25. Bair is a good spacing move to keep the other character in the place you want. Fair is decent but bair is just better in general. Plus if im correct if you (just started playing gnw) bair has less lag if you hit the ground as you have more lag if you hit the ground with fair.Lol every single person I faced at that tourney told me the same thing: "you're good but you need to use more bair". xD But personally I generally have a hard time knowing WHEN to incorporate bair, so I just play how I want to, lol. But yeah thanks for the tips.
thanks
I'll remember the up smash advice. I'm actually surprised by my lack of d-tilt, I usually have an obsessive romance with that move.
After watching that end, I'm very tempted to say key is plain awful against grounded enemies. Most of the punishment G&W receives is due to landing a key against enemies waiting for it (I'm speaking in general terms, not about this video); it has bad startup lag and bad ending lag, and the reward is not as high as the risk. Usually when falling, nair, bair, jab and dtilt are safer, and just landing away and up+b'ing again is even better a lot of times. Also, use more Up+b, specially to avoid and escape combos (when they are in progress and when they are about to start). Trying to break combos with dair is a terrible idea, is just safer to escape with Up+b. Limit the use of dair only to enemies in the air.
Yeah
Good games, I liked your spacing, and the Olimar seems very good. If anything, I'd say watch out your dair usage, because it failed most of the time. Also, the Olimar was jumping and tossing pikmins a lot; you can beat that with nair approaches, dtilt, and some random dash cancels to usmash. Don't shorthop fair; it seemed to work sometimes, but you were getting punished too by it. Finally, your DI wasn't at top; in the second match you were killed twice by Olimar bthrow which you should have DI'ed better. Mostly details, I think you're going the right way, good spacing and up+b usage. If anything, try to read and predict more
Thank you, I will try this =)
check this post tomorrow
. Don't let diddy approach you that easily,especially this one lol. All he did was throw a naner then dash attack. SH nair is great in this match up for approaching and catching nanerz if he throws them. Bair is good to but he can punish it easily if you space incorrectly so becareful. Also be more patient lol. The way you were playing the last 30 seconds of the video is the way you should be playing the entire match=l. Don't rush kills or opportunities,let it come to you.
