Good partner for Game and watch doubles. (besides MK obv)

[Mith_]

Game and Watch was my very first main. I failed at a tourney with him so I gave him up, which was a bad idea but w/e.

Anyways, I've decided to pick him back up, but not for singles. I think G&W is good for doubles because of his amazing priority which can plow through opponents attacks and his infamous bucket for combos.

I was wondering who would make a good partner for him. My friend uses Lucario and the bucket combo we can get off a lot. I read somewhere that ZSS is good with him too. Any other partners I should consider?

Don't expect living opponents to die the the gimmicks that will inevitably be posted...


DK is strong, Snake is good. Basically whoever your friend is good with is a better choice than making him change, the more comfortable he is the better off you guys are.

All the top/high tiers do well in doubles I find, 'cept ICs are hard-pressed to get any use out of their grab game.

My friend mains Lucario. So I guess that would be better than making him switch lol.

The bucket trick isn't really reliable so I guess opponents shouldn't really worry about it.

M2K says G&W + ZSS is amazing due to Bucket.

The bucket is a very workable gimmick in doubles; you just have to be smart enough to work together to charge that instant kill move. Smart opponents make it a lot harder, but it forces the enemy team to be hyper aggressive to stop it and you probably fill it at least once a match anyway. I really prefer Pikachu as a doubles partner because he's not only better than Zero Suit Samus in general but can fill the bucket from a long ways away (Zero Suit Samus has to be right on top of you). Of course, Zero Suit Samus is great too, but I feel pretty strongly that Pikachu is Mr. Game & Watch's best partner.

Lucario is pretty good too though, and if he already mains Lucario, you'd be fine sticking with it.

Dedede Dthrow into G@W Usmash is pretty broken.

Snake's first hit of Ftilt into G&W Usmash is pretty broken.

ZSS Dsmash into G&W Usmash is pretty broken.

Just saying.

Wario and Game and Watch on Green Greens ftw.

Seriously though. Bite > any smash, dthrow > any smash.

Yeah... ZSS and GnW...

Anyways, besides MK, I like working with Snake, Wolf, Pit, Pikachu, and PT.

D3, Snake, Mk, Wario, etc.

Just slice off the top tiers.

my friend and i have been working on zelda g&w teams. zelda can dins fire from pretty much anywhere on a map for a bucket. our strategy is strictly 'get dins fire into bucket at all costs'. we usually dodge around waiting for perfect oppurtunities, then own with bucket. then i just up air zelda to unstale my bucket. its funny because our opponents are always waiting for that bucket its really fun to play this way haha.

Wolf and Pikachu? Three lasers from Wolf can kill at pretty a low percent, and 1 or 2 of Pikachu's Thunders and couple of Thunderbolts = Death. And if your playing G&W, and your partner is Wolf or Pikachu, spamming B, and they come after you, you get invincibility frames, so, it's only punishable for the teammate, but seriously, how long is three shots.

Anyone who has the projectiles tht can be absorbed will be a good partner. Includes-ZSS, falco,fox,lucario,r.o.b,mario,luigi, are noteable players. Whoever your partner is best as you should probably go with.

I was gonna flip if no one had said Pikachu!
Thank you JawKnee~

M2K says G&W + ZSS is amazing due to Bucket.

F that. Pikachu can fill that bucket 50x better than ZSS can.

I've seen some pretty sick R.O.B./G&W teams.

Wolf OMG Wolf, Shrinkray and I have been doing wolf/gw team quite a bit and it's the most fun/ best team we've had. Filling the bucket is very easy to do and they compliment each other quite well, gw racks up damage a bit faster than wolf, and both characters have good kill moves. Wolf's weight and bounciness is opposite of gw's floatiness and if need be gw can help wolf recover with uairs or doing an upB under him. 2v1 finishing strategy normally consists of wolf dthrowing the enemy into a full gw bucket. We have been having alot of success in friendlies and will definitely see action in the SDSU tourney thats coming up!

Yeah wolf and g&w are a pretty good team too
