I need your competent input. There are few characters I feel as helpless against as G&W.
He is constantly throwing out massive, lingering hitboxes, especially his aerials (bair, nair). He deals a ton of damage and knockback, forcing me off stage early. In turn, trying to get back on stage is a nightmare due to frying pan and fair bomb. Juggling him is near impossible as his dair has insane priority, can be angled AND has a ground hitbox. Bucket now also reflects. DSmash has range that makes swordies jealous.
The only weakpoint that I can see is him being a lightweight, but his hurtbox is so low and he can throw out hitboxes to cover so well that he is hard to reach.

I know this sounds like a rant, but I'm honestly trying to find anything I can exploit. Would appreciate your help.
I play mostly Samus against him currently.

dont play Samus against him, its a really bad MU. Can confirm GW doesnt do well against swordies (espec the FE ones like Roy & Lucina) tho.
