On the sixth day of Christmas Mr.Game and Watch gave to me...
Six tiny chairs,

FIVE TURTLE HITS
Four matchsticks to the face,
Three little bacons,
Two vermin mallets,
And a fully charged bucket for me!

I'm so making a video for this when it's done.
Now if someone wants to record singing this song, it would be great!
Otherwise I'll just have it have no lyrics sung.

I don't see how Pika Marth can be unwinnable like GnW Marth, and my best Smash friend mains Marth so I'll get all the practice I need lol. He has nothing worse than 42:58 after that.

We wont hate you, but we will likely stop caring about you! If you arent a G&W bro then you are an anything else hoe.

Also, G&W vs Marth isnt unwinnable, though its def my least favorite matchup. MK isnt as hard as Marth, as strange as that sounds.

GaW vs marth is really weird to me. Sometimes I think it's not that bad and then other times it's just really really hard. I prefer it over falco vs marth tbh :\.

Recently, I've been thinking that G&W doesn't really lose very badly to Marth at all.

I spam F-airs a lot in that matchup and it works. Furthermore, learning to SDI DB REEEEEALY helps.

That could be it, DB was a pain and I didnt react with SDI fast enough and I really dont use Fair in a lot of matchups besides killing.

I mean, I use it plenty, mostly for killing but not limited to just that. A2ZOMG seems to be advocating using it a ton though, which I didn't do in the matchup, nor in most matchups.

Unless spam means smart and common use of Fair which I already do.

G&W vs marth is unwinnable if the marth is competent

<==plays neo :(

anyway nothing wrong with having secondaries to get the job done

Yea just get a secondary for snake/marth/diddy and meta. It's alot easier than just trying to beat them with g&w.

The only...ONLY...fight I flat out do not feel confident in, nor do I ever win, is GaW vs snake. I don't mind the marth fight at all. I'm learning a shiek to fight snakes. @_@ MOAR CHRISTMAS

Well if he's seconding Pikachu that's fine, but if he's dropping G&W FOR Pikachu then he isnt my G&W broski like you guys are.

Snake's weaknesses are significant enough and easy enough for G&W to capitalize on to really offset the advantages in power Snake has over us. I really doubt it to be worse than 6:4, and I personally only think it's 55:45, his advantage of course, which would be the same ratio I have for TL (just to leave a comparison).

F-airs usually trade hits with most of Marth's stuff (especially since it's more disjointed on the initial hitbox), and he's tall enough to blatantly fullhop F-air when he's standing. He's not going to be SDI punishing it and it does really massive damage.

You can keep up in damage pretty easily by just learning the space where you can throw out F-airs. Getting kills, just be patient and juggle him a bit when you have the opportunity, and learn to edgeguard him in positions where his options are limited. If he's coming from below for example, you can D-air or B-air him easily.

If you properly SDI DB, it's possible to D-air him out of it (or if you are more conservative, jump/Up-B out of it just to reduce the damage you take). If you find yourself shielding DB, it's a free shieldgrab after the third hit, not to mention a free F-smash after the 4th hit.
