If Praxis wasn't so much of a Game & Watch hater I'd agree with that video more.
Same if he actually spaced the turtle better.

EDIT: super late reply, it put me directly back 7 pages.

I'm going to try and bring back the pan spike.

Praxis has an interesting idea but it's totally outdated because no good G&W player should actually use buffered SH B-air as an approach anyway. That is STRICTLY for punishing.

HOWEVER, G&W's best aerial isn't B-air. It's a tie between U-air and F-air.

I'd say his best aerial is Nair or Dair.

Nair combos, has a super long hitbox, and puts on lots of damage.
Dair changes G&W physics unlike any other character. It fast falls... but then it slow falls... but maybe it wont? You see the mindgames? ;)

It's hard for me to decide his best Aerial. Fair is his best kill move, Bair is great at punishing, Nair has sick juggles, Dair has loads of mobility, and Uair has ungodly control.

Uair/Dair/Nair are tied for the best :(
Bair and Fair are still awesome aerials, but slightly less so than these three.

Do you guys want me to set up an IRC channel for us?
It would probably be on synIRC, unless you guys have a channel you'd prefer over it.

i have to agree 100% with UTD Zac on his best aerials.

and that IRC channel idea sounds good, or whatever. maybe we can trade each others strategies, and some smart gw will mix them together make it one great big playstyle and gw can start moving up. (:

I say F-air is more practical than G&W's other aerials.

It comes out fast, does a ton of damage that doesn't get SDIed, and is virtually safe on defenses. It should be your main tool for challenging other horizontal spacing games.

U-air however is so godly at setting up juggle traps. If you get it off right, it can lead to Up-smashes quite nicely.

So anyhow if I recall, the best way to combo with G&W's N-air is to land with the 2nd and 3rd hits (which then true combos into D-smash), one trick I discovered to space this is that a buffered fullhop B-air actually spaces N-air to land exactly this way.

I think uair is his best move, and by a good margin. Sets up any other aerial + smashes and allows you to blow away gernades + lengthen the time a character is in free fall.

I'm on the mIRC channel :)

Good stuff.

BTW my opinion on the aerials thing is Nair and Dair are GaWs best moves excpet Bair replaces Dair in some match ups.

We should make a THREAD about the irc channel.

For Quotes, for a Timetable (since some of us live in different areas, but also to show whose active at what times) and maybe for other motivational things.

I'll make it unless Mr.Esc wants to, because he owns the mIRC channel. If not i'll do it though.

:) Would be good.

And yeah,

Up air is fun for screwing people up. There was a video I saw of a G&W up airing Dedede as he was doing his up-B and Dedede flew over the stage and died XD

It's honestly kind of hard for me to decide on his best aerial, they're all pretty ridiculous.

Felt like doing this





I'm making a GaW mobile. These are the cutouts:


And they are going to be hanging off a large black octopus.
It'll look great. Stay tuned.
