How to deal with Down-Throw->9?

[Yoshister]

I play against a G&W main a lot, and I've lost so many matches due to this combo (My luck with it isn't very good). What should I do to get around it?

 

[TheMiSP]

I believe you can jump out of it. Just be fast enough.

 

[Infinite901]

Yeah, d-throw -> 9 can be jumped out of.

Thanks for the advice.

Did you steal my previous profile pic? Naughty Naughty!

Judge has like 15 frames of startup, you should be able to jump out before it hits out of dthrow

I didn't. I just happened to use it before changing it roughly a day before I found this post.

Really, I'm just messing around. It's fine.

Okay.

Is it really okay to talk about things that hinder G&W or any other character in their thread? I think this thread should be posted in another character's, like a character has a bad matchup vs G&W. I don't know, but this post doesn't feel right.

Only GAW has been mentioned here.

I know, I was trying to say that a post like this should not be posted in the character's thread you're talking about. If that makes any sense I don't even know.

It makes none. I'm not even sure why this isn't locked yet.

Sorry, I accidentally double posted so that's why I'm making this post.

it's really not a huge secret that all characters can jump, DI, airdodge, or whatever out of downthrow -> judge in like 99% of situations. I don't think most of us have a problem with that being known.

Yeah, you have a point.

 

[BrS_Wsbk7]

Isn't d-throw into 9 guaranteed if they Di away? I think it works at around 60%

 

[Yoshister]

Please lock this thread.

 

[Shyguymask]

I use this combo a lot.

You can jump out of it, at least at low-percent. Though if you became predictable, your opponent might try to jump higher to land the Side B. You can also Air-dodge it dependently of the situation/character, but again if you became preditacle an opponent like me would try to use a charged Smash attack to punish the landing after the dodge.

I think the best option if to jump.

There is no escape NINE NINE NINE NINE NINE! Just joking, this was useful to me, but couldn't you get a short hop mixup?

I haven't gotten it to work yet, so I doubt it.

Dthrow -> 9 is so fun to do on people who don't know the matchup though. :D

 

[Treedot]

I think you could tech roll out of that maybe. I'm not sure. I use up throw to hammer when I play G&W, seems to work better, but only at low percents.

This issue has already been resolved. =\

Funnily enough, I used to have that same avatar back in November. Strange coincidence, huh?

Weird. I replied to this not realizing how old it was. I guess this board is a little dead, huh.

What's even weirder is that this has happened before.

This whole board in general is pretty barren. Our social thread is lucky to get a post a week. A real shame.

It really goes to show you how much love Game & Watch gets in Smash. Not much, unfortunately. Especially now that he's been nerfed in doubles.

It's because he doesn't have a yellow skin like in PM.

Instead of Ketchup and Mustard Yellow, we got Vomit Rotten Lemonade Yellow.

Forest Green is my alt of choice though. Teal comes close however. It's funny, because I end off my posts with a Dark Blue Melee Game and Watch emoticon.

I just use standard black, I don't like any of G&W's color choices except for gold in PM.

smashboards is kinda dead in general in most places. Valuable discussion just doesn't really happen and consequentially there isn't really a reason to come here

That said, the g&w skype group is very active and often full of good discussion. If you're interested playing g&w in tourneys and getting better, find the skype group thread and ask to be added there

Wow the G&W boards are pretty dead indeed I thought that the R.O.B. boards were pretty dead but I think that the G&W boards may be even deader than the R.O.B. boards.

Anyway G&W had a good run in SSBB and where are all those G&W mains who mained him because they liked him and not because he was top tier? In fact where were they in Melee? G&W is fun though.
