Snake- The good You can pressure him well and bait his tilts then punish. He does not have much mobility outside the upsmash cancel. The only thing I see him give Peach a hard time with is his grenade camping. But can be dealt with, one thing is you need patients, you dont have it when snake camps, he wins. Also you can grab his grenades and lanuch them at him. Or you can go and camp him too. This helps but the grenades around his area and away from you. And he can only get 2 out. While you can just keep tossing turnips. Just don't toss them at the wrong time. You could eat a grenade to your face. if they are in your area, Float in the air for a while till they explode and move into snake, but not too close. or retreat till you get a turnip.
Up in snakes face you can get at him good with short up Dairs and follow up with w/e you want. Peach is good at putting the pressure on snake. He will be rolling alot. He is a sitting duck in the air. Bait an air dodge and you got it he will be back out of the stage. and she can edgeguard well.
You can space well against snake. And a good air game can shut down his ground game. His easy to combo too. You also have more combat speed. (this does not inlude his upsmash slide For you can stop that easy with just a jab or turnip. Turnips are the best way to go and can shut that upsmash slide down easy)
Snake-The bad: Snake can kill you pretty well and floating too much is not good. you won't catch a good evasive snake since your floating speed is not great. Thats why I short hop my dairs alot. this also prevents the 4th kick from coming out, he stays in place and you follow up with w/e he can.
Snake is about field control. He can set up the field for your death while he has to fight you. so you have to worry about the stage and him at once. One reason you should not float too much is cause he can just uptilt out of the sheild and thats it for you. Also upsmash can take care of that too. Snake can force you to go to him. And take control of the match. He can also force you to go to the air of the ground and set you uo.Snake does not have a hard time killing your air game when floating. Remember you are slow like this.
He can K.O you with ALL his moves well. So he has options to kill you. He is also very hard to kill, but comes a prices with this. He is not really hard to edgeguard and keep out.
Stages with low ceilings are not for you. avoid at all cost.
G&W- the good: To ME, Only thing he has on Peach for wins is K.O's. This character is way too strong on his smash attacks, and the only thing I really see him killing you off early. Now if your moves are fresh and really to kill, you have more options to kill him then he does to you:
Fair
Bair
Upair
Upsmash
Fsmash
Uptilt
Nair
Ftilt
Turnips( ha ha ha)
If you get caught with a bair/nair/ you can DI out of it. with bair if they move in, DI behind him and counter attack with your bair. if he DI's away to space it, DI out and away from him and you won't get launched by the attack.
But if played right, you can outspace G&W. I was playing a few and I made it so hard for them to touch me. My spacing was on point. Even when they try to space thier moves I did not rush them. I played defensive, patient, and just spaced like there was no 2morrow. And the dude was like "Wow, how the hell I can't touch you, that spacing is crazy" Ha ha ha!
G&W Dsmash. You know how it launches you Up or to the sides? I figured out why. If you are close to him, like in his face, His Dsmash will send you to the sides. If you get hit with the hammer part or the tip of the attack, it will launch you in the air. But you can live longer then you expected from his Dsmash. As soon as you get Dsmash or sense one comming when you are close to him, Hold down. You will hit the floor and slide on it. This will reduce the speed you get launched and you will live longer. And if you have good timing, you can tech his Dsmash when you hit the floor. and you won't die from it or ever slide off the stage.
Also if G&Ws pulls back while I SDI out of it, better off for me, you can't follow up with anything and I don't get sent out of the stage and we start all over again on approaching. And those 2 moves are usually his main setups for ****. Now with DI out of this, his set up won't be much affective.
He can be tricky to edgeuard but does not have many options when coming back.. they might try to go over you and Dair you. This is typical though. so wait for it or clap them with an uptilt. Also good sniping of turnips can get him well.time edgehogs or do it and force him on stage. then get off and attack/grab him as soon as you can.
Turnips can do him in if used right. he is not all that fast. So retreating Glide tosses help. Abuse turnips alot when you can but NOT at the wrong time.
G&W- the Bad: This is on FD in the center of the stage.
Upsmash= kills at 80% (the attack does 18% damage)
Dsmash= kills at 80% (The attack does 15% Damage) *Upward*
Dsmash= Kills at 130% (The attack does 13%) *Left/right*
Fsmash= kills at 85% (the attack does 18%)
So really all he has is his smash attacks. His Fair is not killing Peach till like 130 ( and this is without DI) center stage on FD.
Another thing he has is spacing. And he somewhat has more range than you on that??? *don't qoute me on this, I am not sure on this yet*
spacing with what you ask?:
Fair
Bair
Nair
Dtilt
Only thing the spacing lacks is a lil speed. which you beat him in. These are usually used to pressure you out of your shield and eat it too.
With all that said, he is still a pain and a character you have to be really careful against. Thats why, I don't care how fancy or a showoff you wanna be, going aggressive on him is a BAD idea, one mistake will hurt you hard. And he can also punish you hard for being aggressive. And His spacing>your aggressiveness. Good G&W don't abuse thier smash attacks, but usually get at you with nair and bair combos and (other typical G&W stuff, yadda yadda) Then once you are like at 80%+, you are already in the danger zone, for you make one mistake and you get punished with a smash attack, kiss your azz goodbye.
He can pressure really well for kills or hits. And kinda hard to get away from him. really with platforms. So get ready to SDI out of his Nair or Bair if you can't break free. And don't roll alot, you will fell it hard when you get punished for it. also his upair can be annoying, you fall so slow, and with that you can airdodge at the wrong time and he has you since her air dodge is crap. Her falling speed sucks too. don't sleep on this move, it can lead to nasty things.
He has that bucket cancel which makes it even harder to kill him. Though before this was found out, he was not too hard to kill. But this adds on to more of the fustration.

Think that is all I got. from this I can't tell who is worst. G&W has better pressure that Snake and can kill you easy. And Snake has field control and can limit how you play. You have to be aware of the field and him at the same time. And can KO you well with all his moves.
From this, to me, I say snake is harder to deal with than G&W
