This thread is not to discuss whether or not planking should be banned. Nor is it to discuss how one should plank with G&W. I made this thread to find out how to handle planking with G&W. I have never come across planking in a match, but I do want to know what I should do if I ever face planking.
I was reading the thread on planking and one of the main arguements for why planking should not be banned is because it has not been fully explored, and tactics to counter it have not yet been discussed with many character boards. I realized that this board has never really mentioned planking in its posts and how to deal with it. Because of this I honestly don't know how to beat planking.
When people mention G&W in discussions about planking they only mention how good he is at doing it himself. I have never heard anyone mention whether or not G&W is capable of handling planking. I could imagine that G&W shouldn't have much of a problem with planking, but I've never been in the situation nor have I seen other G&Ws being planked. G&W should have the aerials to catch MK without invincibility frames along with a recovery that's good enough that he wouldn't be accidentaly gimped.
Obviously the biggest planker is MK, so what aerials can stop MK from planking. I'm thinking that a timed bair should be able to catch MK but I'm not too sure. Slowfalled dairs could also handle the planking. Does dtilt work well against planking? I just see problems with how MK might gain invincibility frames too early to be hit with dtilt. But just is honestly all just theory as I have no experience handling planking.
Have you ever come across planking in a tourney? Did you defeat it and if you did, what tatics did you use to beat it?
