GATLING DACUS Tech - Getting 'em Good!

Hey guys,

As someone who considers himself a hardcore GW main, I really believe the little guy has what it takes to wrangle a set or two off of anybody.

GW has a great DACUS, in that it's very slippery and makes Up Smash significantly easier to land and meta game with. When he goes from his dash attack to the Up Smash cancel, there is a window of opportunity ( ~4 frames ) for you to execute the DACUS.

If you're in range of your opponent and cancel the dash a later in the window of opportunity, you can hit them with both parts of the move, significantly improving the damage and knockback of the move.

You're right everyone has a 2-frame window. Thanks for the correction!

Game and Watch has a 4 window jump startup, that was the confusion. It seems the gatling part comes from landing the dash attack before you cancel it.
