I just lost to a pretty average Game & Watch, and that really was a big blow to my pride.
I couldn't find an opening anywhere. All of his moves take supreme priority over poor Falcon, and I was getting tossed over and over. Nothing works to take priority over his moves.... Side B is completely useless (one of my favorite mind-game moves). Falcon Kick gets denied every time....
Your tilts are really your only option here, and even then it's a futile battle. I started improvising and using about 3 or 4 Falcon punches per game... to some avail. If the player was better he probably could have taken advantage of the lag after the punches more effectively. And here I was still being tossed like a rag-doll to his predictable, yet unstoppable antics. Whenever G&W starts his down A key move, you have no choice but to get as far away as possible. I tried hitting him from every angle while in the air... of course, only to get tossed. On the landing frames after G&W finishes, there is a small invisible 'explosion', preventing me from punishing. His aerials came out impossibly fast, obviously having the higher priority.
Most battles now feel decently fair, or that I could have done something differently to succeed. This one, however, was just stupid. He usually had one stock by the end, but if he was better, it probably would have been a massacre. Why is it that Brawl has to favor childish nonsense over skill.......? Horribly imbalanced.
Add one more to the HORRIBLE match-ups.
