G&W is vulnerable when UpBing to the ledge

[UTDZac]

K Prime figured this out (i think).

In short: When G&W UpBs to grab the ledge, there is a 1 frame vulnerability after G&W stops being invincible but before he grabs the ledge.

How does it affect you? It shouldn't really, though it would have if you didn't know about this. Having a 1 frame invulnerability window might be true but the opponent guessing when G&W will actually UpB is impossible. G&W has so many frames to wait and see what the opponent does. Them reacting in 14 frames (or less) is nearly impossible.

Also, G&W's sweetspot range is ridiculous!

wow G&W grabs the ledge from so far....


and baw,they have a higher chance of getting stage spiked lmao.
They're just better off edgehogging and punishing G&Ws landing instead.

 

[Mr.Jake and Skate]

Oh shoot lol.

 

[KirbyIRL]

Neat.

The more you know.

*rainbow*

 

[GTZ]

lol don't give it all away ;-0

 

[A2ZOMG]

Yeah the standard Melee edgeguard really doesn't work that well in this game. Especially not on G&W's Up-B. Against Kirby or Ike though, it works amazingly well. But that's a different story.

 

[super beans]

not really a big deal

 

[iamjason8]

Oh wow, I didn't know that. Again.

But I don't think its THAT big of a deal, especially considering most people wouldn't know this anyway. SHHHHHHHHHH



And isn't it "vulnerable"? Not "vulnerability" when jumping...ledge?

 

[Triforce Of Chozo]

Them reacting in 14 frames (or less) is nearly impossible.

I can't wait for someone to try this and get stage spiked lol.

The range where he grabs it is really neat, though. I didn't know it was that long.
Like the music, too.

 

[BSP]

Yeah...I'm not risking this.

 

[furiousduffmanx]

M2k and Dojo always do that to me

Chibo did this to me with ROB, he abused his ledge invincibility and baired me out of my up B. I died.
