You and rizen have not played a high level Peach thats knows his stuff. You all stuck on average play.

I've played a ton vs JMO, Herbs, CSDinah, and many others. I'm better with Link but I do use G&W to learn the MU. He's a secondary of mine.

What G&Ws have you played and how recently?
With all this It would seem to me that it might be even or in her favor. But as I said before. I don't play G&W and never really fought one with the new metagame I have with her via wave dashing. So I can't say how the match up ratio is in my eyes till I actually give it a try.
And the fact that you had no Idea she can SDI out of bair to counter attack you. You seriously don't know my options against you, and just go based on your mid level experience. That's why the match up chart is crap.
This sounds like they had really scrubby spacing. Bair hitting with the turtle head and guided away as needed is a lot harder to SDI than if G&W keeps moving into the opponent. Do you have videos?
I know it can be hard to get replays; my region's terrible about it :urg: . Seeing your Peach in the MU, who you've played and how long ago would help your case though.

Im gonna deal with this when I get home, just 2 things. First, you can not grab her bair. If you try I can reverse jab. Done right, Bair is safe on block. so I can do a turn around jab, which hits on frame three. So no. If I space a nair on block you can not grab me. I'm out of reach unless you are charizard.

Second thing, rizen, stop assuming so much from me. and putting things I am not even implying. And those Peach players. I am the one teaching them. And they don't know the proper way to deal with G&W. Think of me as you will from it. I honestly don't care. People see me the wrong way all the time and assume stuff whithout asking.. So this is nothing you. Believe what you want dude.

And for anyone else that is curious about how I feel Peach should be played for better viisual of stuff

1. It may intrigue you to know that while Peach is floating, one of the options every character has is to run in underneath her. From this position, she can do aerials which are safe on shield, such as fair.
However, this is not the only option that players have against Peach, there are more! mix-ups, if you will. One such mix-up is to run into her and SH air dodge when she attempts to fair (or bair, what have you).

This is over-simplifying the situation massively, as there are many nuances in regards to the timing of both players' moves and minor spacing differences - HOWEVER, one of Peach's potential options in this situation is to just drop, drop with a dair or drop with a nair. All of these things can be grabbed. If you are planning on never choosing any of these options when G&W runs into you, you're gonna get smacked by aerials all day.

2. No decent G&W is going to use bair in such a way that it can be SDI'd through and punished. That's nonsense 2008 metagame. Bair is a long-range poke and pressure starter - nothing more. Again, I request videos of someone SDI'ing through it and punishing it, I don't think that's an unreasonable demand.

Dude, you can not grab my air attacks unless I misspace them. I don't know what part of that you don't understand. can't believe i have to use frame data for this simple nonsense.

Dair:
Optimal Shield Advantage Autocanceled: -3 (-5 hard landing)

I dair your shield without the hard landing, you can not grab me. By the time I am able to move as you go for a grab I your grab will connect on frame 3. My Jab is 2 frames. Grab is 6 frames. I can move for 3. So as you do it, 6-3 = 3 frames I have to stop this grab from connecting. Which I have a jab for that. My Jab is 2. You can not grab me!

Bair:
Optimal Shield Advantage: -4 (hard hit then land)
This is what you can grab if I do it with the hard hit. Even if I jab, you might get grab armor since it will happen at the same time. I do it the proper way, like this:
Optimal Shield Advantage Autocanceled: 0 (weak hit bair -> ac landing)
That means we can both move at the same time. So you try to go for a grab with is 6 frames. I go for reverse jab with is 3. You are gonna get slap. You can not grab me!

And as I said with nair, if I space that move it can not be grabbed unless you are charizard. Thus in your case you are not gonna grab me unless i think you are gonna try to attack me or grab me and I fall on you with a nair, which you blocked.
Get if now. But I bet you you have no idea the distance I have to be to get 0 on bair and -3 on dair. You don't know the timing I have to fall down with it. You don't know that Nair is a frame trap and the reasons for it. You don't know the three ways I can cross up with a bair for frame traps on it. You don't know my options. You go based on what you think you can do on me. Yet you don't pay attention to what I can do to you. And stuff you can NOT do to me. You just go on this basic stuff that I am here correcting you on and bring you info on it. You just do things based on pure luck and when the Peach player messes up, you seriously think its legit instead of questioning it or fining out for yourself. Thats why the match up chart is a pile of crap. And why I stay having an easier time against players who think like you without fining stuff out and seeing if its really legit.
I don't wanna talk to you about this anymore. Do some homework and then comeback to me.

I said Peach can be grabbed, you're borderline saying that it's impossible to grab Peach.
Yet I'm somehow the one who is being biased and not looking at all of the options Peach has?

Yes, it requires a mistake. Duh. It's impossible to land a hit without your opponent making a mistake, I don't think this needs to be clarified.

Did you know that Jigglypuff, frame-data wise, cannot be grabbed out of any of her aerials on shield if you time and space them right? And that because she has insane aerial mobility, floatiness and extra jumps she can mix-up the spacing/timing to absurd degrees? Yet, somehow, I still get grabbed out of them - it's almost as if my opponent isn't a training mode CPU, like they can force mix-ups and put me into unfavourable positions where perhaps my theoretically safe aerials aren't so safe. But hell, that could just be me.

I explicitly stated that I was over-simplifying things, and that both characters have numerous options:
This is over-simplifying the situation massively, as there are many nuances in regards to the timing of both players' moves and minor spacing differences.
my point was not at all that Peach is going to do the same thing every single time and G&W can get consistent grabs out of it - merely that G&W can apply pressure and force an option in a very common situation (Peach floating above G&W) and that he can land a grab out of that situation. Stop going into every discussion with the assumption that you are the sole beacon of Peach knowledge on this forum and that every claim anyone else makes about her is due to stupidity and laziness.

So, let me make sure I understand your viewpoint directly before I continue with the conversation... you want vids of a Peach SDI'ing through G&W's bair, but it has to be spaced and retreating, while in your argument with Dark Peach you talk about how you can punish Peach with a grab when she makes a spacing error?

...

If I am understanding your vid request correctly, then yes it is unreasonable. Mainly due to peach having better options in that situation. Note that in his original post, Dark Peach never specified how the bair needed to be spaced, just that it could be done.

I'm not seeing the irony here. I wanted a vid because I've never seen it happen. You can punish Peach with a grab when she makes a spacing error.
What's the link here?

Which post are you referring to? In his last post he made a big deal about bair's spacing, and I don't think I ever said that it "couldn't be done".
Peach doesn't have better options in that situation, as there is no way G&W can be hit in the situation (up-b OoS). Every time he rushes into a floating Peach she is in danger of getting hit and he is not.

A flow chart Peach is gonna do the same thing every time. A solid one is not. They are gonna do different things to make it hard to guess what they will do. Thats the difference between an average player and one who knows his stuff. And now you going on about mistakes. So that would mean IC beat the **** out of meta knight for free cause when he nados, IC can rely on MK to make a mistake on nado to grab. can't rely on mistakes. People can make them and people can also play so clean that there are hardly any mistakes. Thats you playing on pure luck. You just hope **** goes wrong instead of you doing the best thing for said situation for you to get edge. So yes, Rely on Peach to just makes mistakes, thats why he can do silly things and win with lil effort. Thats why he can get all these hits for free. That's why he wins right? Thats whats been happening to you against these people you play. Mistakes should never take into account for how a match up goes. Cause it's something you can't rely on. It's your options.

You thinking like this is why I don't wanna talk to you about this anymore.

It sounds like Dark Pch is basing the MU on a 2009 G&W. I have not heard back on what G&Ws you've played and when.

Here's what the best G&W I've played said about the G&W/Peach MU:
Hoping to hear from ya soon smiley.

@ Rizen
most would say 60:40(our favor) but I think it's 55:45 if the peach player knows how to play against gw.
Most of gws aerials out prioritize peach unless spaced poorly. Peach utilt will beat gw dair tho. Get her above you and uair/nair juggle, peach's airdodge is baaad.
If she lands too early then you screwed up, just be cautious for whiffed peach dairs as an attempt to land safely.
Pretty generic advice but that's kind of it lol

Other small things
-Downtilt will outspace peach fairs/dair
-Dsmash will catch a floating peach
-I would keep fair fresh in this match up.
I'm going with this; it's what I thought anyway.

lol dozens of text for a completely unrelevant MU, congrats guys, you guys just wasted a lot of time

And to bring this to an end: Neither Peach not Gaw have good enough options/strategies to make the Match Up a nightmare for the other player, it all comes down to player as the match up is basically even, despite both having the advantage in some situations while not in others.

Why I am even typing this, who cares, can we please discuss something else?


What do you guys think of Ganon VS Mario?

says that GAW-Peach is not relevant and comes with ganon-Mario. . . . your logic is fantastic my friend.

This has to be the first time I've ever read a correct description of G&W's bair in this thread.

It sounds like Dark Pch is basing the MU on a 2009 G&W. I have not heard back on what G&Ws you've played and when.

Here's what the best G&W I've played said about the G&W/Peach MU:

I'm going with this; it's what I thought anyway.

The G&W I played Penta. And that was a while ago. I had no idea how to deal with this character. And I was losing beacuse of all the things you and grim said. but I did not know how to deal with it. What to look for and my options to give him a hard time. To put it short, I was basic as hell. And then I finally learned what to do at apex 2013.Match up is easier for me now. But I am not giving my opinion on a ratio cause I have really played one with the new way I play now. So I wanna see if there will be a change and if it would be for the better.

What he stated was simple. He said all that but what is the difficulty of doing said thing. That's what you keep ignoring so much. You probably have no idea, that's why you keep ignoring it.You actually believe you can do this for free against a solid person? A player that knows your options as well as his own? And that does not lead to him winning. You have to parrot others. You can't explain things for yourself. And what you try to explain I had to correct you on your own character. Do you even know what I have to do in order to win? My options. How to deal with the various things you do for you to start something? I know what G&W has to do to beat peach. I know what he should look for. And I know how he should punish it. I write a book on that. But Do you know that from peach's end? I'm gonna say no. And if you don't know what the opponent can do to you, you are gonna have problems. Just knowing what your character can so call do is not all that matters. And this is what I been correcting. The only people you are gonna get away with all this stuff against are average players. Cross a solid one and you are gonna have problems. You won't even know what to do.

You can think what you want. You think he wins and stuff is that simple, then go head. It does not matter to me. For I am not here to convince you or anyone else. Really when I stated I don't even know what ratio to give this. Even with all that I just said and broke down. I wanna do this match up alot now with the new way I play. A way I just have been playing years ago. Took a japanese player to open my eyes to this. I state things to let people know whats up and help others. Wether they take my word for it or not is on them. I already did my part.

^What G&Ws did you play at APEX 2013?

Edit, nevermind. MUs are somewhat subjective. Just because someone (or many people) disagree with you it doesn't make them uninformed or stupid to do so.
/These threads are trash with a few gems tossed in here and there but still trash. The gems get smothered in spam and trolling. :urg:

What's the link here?
There is no irony here. If G&W makes a mistake on his bair spacing, it would be possible to SDI through and punish, a similar situation to the one you illustrated with being able to grab peach when there is a mistake in Peach's spacing. Also, you asked for a video of a Peach punishing a G&W bair, but implied that the bair had to be retreating and properly spaced. Which would be silly since Peach could either SDI away and reset the spacing or SDI up and try to get in position for another follow-up, both of which would be better options in the singular instance you implied you wanted a video of. Hence why the request is unreasonable. It also shows that you are willing to dismiss your own argument when it is applied in a different situation simply because it is convenient.

Which post are you referring to? In his last post he made a big deal about bair's spacing, and I don't think I ever said that it "couldn't be done".
Peach doesn't have better options in that situation, as there is no way G&W can be hit in the situation (up-b OoS). Every time he rushes into a floating Peach she is in danger of getting hit and he is not.
I was referring to the original post that you thought it would be a good idea to make jest of. It had nothing to do with his later posts, nor did I say it did.

Peach DIs away>G&W gets free damage, positioning advantage or G&W DIs his Bair toward Peach as she tries to SDI away and gets more hits in, then Peach must approach which is hard. Peach DIs up and she's in a terrible spot above G&W.
I'm really against theory crafting. The main cases for Peach winning the MU originally were Peach punishes G&W's upB and G&W's Bair's not safe; both of these are not true.
The request of getting a video is unreasonable because no good G&W would let that happen in the current meta. Several people have said this.

The simple answer is in my direct and indirect experience G&W vs Peach is +1 G&W.
I'm trying to help explain things from the G&W end I've been a part of. That's what these threads are supposed to be about, right? Not flaming or insulting people/regions/etc. I know Peach pretty well from the opposing end of many MUs involving her but I don't play her.
This is going in circles and getting 'flamy'. I'm un-watching this thread for a while.

tl;dr the MU plays out +1 G&W.

Sounds reasonable to me.
