Squirtle's Water Gun?

[Pkm_trainer09]

How does it work? I keep hearing that it is chargeable, but what does that mean? How does it shoot? Like FLUDD? or like Samus's charge shot? how?

 

[blubomber17]

WEll, the info we have is that it's basically like a weker version of Samus's Charge Shot.

 

[Pkm_trainer09]

thank you. I have beentrying to figure this out for a while

 

[Jayster]

It does do damage then? I'm happy if thats true..I feared it would be like FLUDD and just be something that pushes the opponent.

 

[Polostick]

ya evea saw the anmie show? it's nothing like it.

It does do damage, but unfortunately it's not a lot.

 

[Iboid]

Hmm, if it's not like the anime, is it just a big squirt, or a stretched out water ball?

About the "Hydro Bomb" of Squirtle, everybody watch in action, o something like that? .

 

[blubomber17]

Are you reffering to his part of the Final Smaash, Hydro Pump?

 

[OnyxVulpine]

Hydro Pump seems to be separate bursts of water.

Water gun (I haven't seen it) sounds like it would be like.. The front end is large and the back end is smaller like a beam..

[Pkm_trainer09]

The scans just showed that it looks like beams, like pit's arrows

 

[Kinnikuman]

Anybody got pics or anything of it in action?

 

[PopeOfChiliTown]

Has anyone wondered if it can be stored? I mean, if it's like Samus'...

 

[ngtm]

you charge and store it like samus but it shoots out like a more powerful fludd does damage

 

[Fatal_Aroma]

From my playing of it the water gun does no damage, the knockback is also very little. It does act like Samus' charge shot thought. It's not a very useful move at all imo.

oh i might be wrong about damage then...good call ...its a hard move to use effectively because there are so many other moves you could do to be more effective with squirtle.

Squirtle is VERY good, all of his airs are pretty good he can pretty much wall of pain with the new floatiness and his speed. The only downside I see from him is finishing power. His forward smash is terrible, his down smash is outshined by his upsmash which is probably his best smash.

i'll totally back you up on that- agreed completely. i'm amazingly happy with all three pokemon on different levels.

I'm still trying to figure out Charizard's role for me. I pretty much have Squirtle set up as damager and Ivysaur as finisher. I try to get Charizard out there when I'm high damage, but he doesn't relaly hang with the true heavyweights and still gets killed quite easily.

i know what you mean but all in all he's good with hard hits and recoveries with his glide and everything. he would be good against slower characters and also those that recover from the top instead of from the bottom. jump up and come down to a rock smash....i awkwardly love that move because i just ended up using it at amazingly appropriate times.

That shows more or less how Water Gun (among all of the other Pokémon's special attacks) works.

 

[Chaotic Yoshi]

How water gun works from my experience:

Press B to charge it.
Press B again to use water gun.
When you use it, it has a low arch/angel so it doesn't hit people that are far away.
You CAN change the arch, but very little time to do so.
I think it's best to jump then use it for best reach.
I haven't tested using it backwards when recovering and making it push you. (for horizontal movement which squirtle lacks in recovery)

 

[Fatal_Aroma]

After doing some messing around water gun only does damage if you dont charge it, that is press b twice to shoot it immediately. Instead of a stream of water, squirtle shoots out a small blast right in front of him that does multi hit damage.

cool good call

 

[DoH]

has anyone tried using it for edgeguarding and jumping out and pushing people away?

 

[ngtm]

that the only way i used it...its about its only notable use....and ya it does wonders because a lot of characters if not most recover from the bottom with grapples, etc.

 

[Undrdog]

I'm hoping it will come in useful against characters like Zamus and her whip. I'll intend to fall back into a slap-fight style of fighting with vinewhip if it came down to it, it'd be interesting to see how a move that simply pushes and opponent would do. I can just imagine using it in teams.

the longer it's charged, the btter it sends foes back... it charges quickly and you can even aim it a bit... it's great in specific occasions... I used it to push a aura sphere charging lucario to his doom.. it also can be used to push one smash attack charging oponent into an other foe... and it can be used to edgeguard some.

OH and it's also a nifty anti projectile move

 

[DoH]

pushing jiggly off the ledge after she misses rest?

hahaha ...even tho that should be pretty obvious...the image of that happening was hilarious

I'm going to have to second this. I tried using it to see if I could get some use out of it, but it seems like Squirtle's main attacks are going to be his speed, his up-B, and his smashes.

 

[Sonic The Hedgedawg]

unfortunately, water gun can be cancelled by attacking it... so simple a or b attacks allow lots o' enemies to recover through it anyway... A lot of times it's nice because it shoves your enemies together... maybe they'll smash each other instead of you by accident?

watch at about 50 seconds in
it shows that water gun is somewhat chargable and is pretty much the same as FLUUD because that is pushes the enemy back but does no damage

 

[Sliverstorm]

all I can imagine it could be good for is recovery/edge guarding
