I don't main G&W, but I fight with
Furret24
(A dedicated G&W main for 6 years) at least once every few days, so I think I have some credibility here. I believe G&W is bottom 10 at best. He has some pretty good strengths:
I think he's better than that in the hands of the right player. Ya he's got weaknesses, but when I play as G&W, I rarely lose against human players (of course I never lose against CPUs). However, I'm sure there are quite a few players that could make my G&W look like absolute trash. But again, I don't think G&W is absolutely horrible. He's got a few strengths that, when in the hands of the right player, could be put to pretty great use.I don't main G&W, but I fight with
-High damage output
-Powerful smashes
-Good recovery
-Good combos
-Great reward from grab
-Low end lag
However, not one of those outweigh his crippling weaknesses:
-High startup on most moves
-Huge and weak sourspots on side and down smash
-Very light
-Low survivability
-Crummy grab range
But these are just my two cents.
I still consider him decent (As a good chunk of the are, so he's are 44-47 including Miis types as seperate fighters).
I know and I'll respect your opinion, but for me, G&W can do better than bottom 10. Let's see, we have...55 characters total, including each Mii type as a different fighter and including DLC. At the very best (and this is still stretching it a bit, even for myself) G&W could be low 30's (low meaning 31-34, 33 being the absolute best G&W could go).
From what I saw, you had a bit of an overreliance on dash attack in the beginning. You also missed a lot of potential punishes on Megaman (he whiffed two utilts) and didn't go for many grabs.Is this where I have my video critiqued?

I started playing around with G&W again and am getting better but never had official training. Any critiques/advice is welcomed
I was hoping to go to KTAR XV actually! You might see me there, which would be really cool.congrats! a NE crew came down to NJ this past weekend for KTAR XIV, hope to see you around here soon. KTAR XV is around the corner on 12/5
EDIT: OH and share any VODs of your playing from the tournament!
I know Regi is, idk about Songun (tho from what I've heard he's switched to Sheik? idk). Vader, another good G&W is going as well and has the potential to make some upsets. As far as being depressed go, that's mostly just people on this board who don't really know what they're talking about (and reddit, but idk why the hell you'd ever listen to anything reddit says about viability). As a whole we're all pretty optimistic (but still grounded) about our character.
matchup? I don't find it problematic exactly, but it does feel weird when you get an easy bucket off lemons and you seem almost impossible to edgeguard.
I can't help much, but I would like to point out an easy combo on Ganon that kills him early.
I'm definitely keeping this in mind. I've always had trouble against Ganon as G-dubs but I'll try this out more.I can't help much, but I would like to point out an easy combo on Ganon that kills him early.
Bair -> Bair -> Fire is easy to do, just be careful of Ganoncide. You can setup into it via a dthrow or dtilt. It makes the MU much easier for me.
I do too (I've died to fsmash at 50% more than once), but this combo will help deal with him better, or atleast it helped me.
you can use any aerial while in your parachute, you won't throw any item while in your parachute.

While I hope that one of these days a Smash Short of Game & Watch will make it in that doesn't have Judge 9, I have to admit that this made me smile. The Random Number God favored you there. Judge is a move that you just have to feel when to use and its payoff is incredible. I remember a Judge 8 to 8 to 9 combo I got once, made me laugh.
It's a shame that the only thing most people see when they look at Game and Watch is 9 (and Bucket, but not to the same extent). There's more to him than that.
Maybe by going around in FG as G&W:
Does it look like G&W is the only character able to do this?
Hmm maybe chars with fast up specials that are powerful like doc, Lucina marth, ryu, IDK though this is like 1 in a 100 games I actually play a zss that can do this combo in the first place
That's true. We had this Ryu super damage this Ness at Umebura 20 just for being caught in PK Fire.
