This will start help against GaW

[PolMex23]

Ok, im tired of people complaining about GaW.

I just want to tell you one thing...please don't Short Hop towards GaW...

No charge side smash kills luigi at 53% , with di idk.

Your hitbox kinda drags and sinks as u short hop an GaWs smashes have gay unfair hitboxes soo...dont complain when you die. Remember who your fighting.

Please jab more than any other move. Your jab will stop a smash, for it is faster. GaW will always almost eat a jab-up-B, idk why, maybe because there light. Usually works.

Another tip, have at it with the up B attempts after 45% at platform stages becuase...no other GaW aerial kills other than his Fair(credit card) And the up air wont carry you off stage, unless u suck at pushing your control stick.

More tips on there way an vids, explaining how this match up isnt really that hard. ONLY THING WHICH MAKES IT HARD IS...GaW punishes...an my god does he punish with all of hells wrath....jeezzz, so does

HULK LUIGI!!!

Lol luigi is bottom tier against this matchup tbh. He doesnt really have anything on him cept killing him early that's all.

I understand where he's coming from though. G&W is NOT impossible, it may be in G&W's favor but don't give up and never john about the match up people u really have no right to since it was your choice to play Luigi .

Anyways PolMex23 is right unlike most characters in the game G&W cannot shield after jab up+b, and since he's so light he can die beggining at about 40%.

Also use Luigi's Up air against game and watch as much as possible. It comes out so quick that it will beat most of G&W's aerials. Like when ever I see that a Game and watch player is about to use his key I will up air before he gets it out. Which will most of the time make them go for the key again because they are so sure it should come out and is safe.

Yes the key has more priority than ALL of luigi's aerials, but its not as fast so be brave people.


Edit: AWW MAN!! I almost forgot about bucket baiting lol. Some game and watches get really frustrated by fireballs and after a while of spamming will bucket one of your fireballs. Ofcourse thats when you run up to them and Up + B while they are still lagging from the bucket.

I cant think of a character that deserves that more....wait nevermind I can but still lol

Bair > Upair. Safer, spacer, easier to pull off, kills better end of story

Yea that'll work too in certain situations. But mostly what I was referring to is when G&W is above you. Bair wont work then. So you just Uair him until he gives up on the key

 

[hippiedude92]

No I didn't mean that. I rather GTFO if hes above me and space myself for a Bair because while hes in a Dair animation HE CANT do anything and Bair hits the side of him. Man I need to record videos for examples ._.


Side > above.

Getting below G&W is not the best of ideas unless you're on the ground planning to Spot Dodge and FJP his Spike. So yeah, if you're in the air, it's much safer to be beside him with a bAir than under him with a uAir.

 

[hippiedude92]

GaW can just SH Dair and follow up Dtilt which I wouldn't be in a situation like that. You wouldn't have enough time to react and counter with Upair. anyways you can always mix it up but i stick to bair cause its much much safer

Actually it's so much better just to turtle through the fireballs. There really is no point in bucketing them.

Turtle >>>>> Luigi

Yea thats why I said SOME game and watches.

 

[ROFL]

the reason your tired of people complaining about game and watch, is because you havent played a good one yet. or else you would be complaining too.

hes one of the best characters in the game, and luigi is not. which means its a hard *** matchup no matter what way you look at it.

 

[PolMex23]

Please Rofl, you just sound more ignorant in every post.

Look up your facts an just see whos in FL. xYz is, an was one of the most dominant GaWs.
Counting all the other GaWs that get top 20 or 30 in every bug tourney, i have faced good game an watches.

An you know what, its easy for me right now. Real easy, just my opinion, but tis easy.

GaW is really beatable.
