trying out G&W, he just doesn't feel right

[crashbfan]

I main Duck Hunt, Donkey Kong and Luigi in that order. Each character has their gimmick. DHD is a camper, DK kills mad early, and Luigi has insane combos.

I'm now trying out ROB and G&W. While I do see potential in ROB, I have not been able to find any in G&W. First of course he is the most "random" in the game with the judgement hammer, but that can't be his only attribute...? I feel like I'm missing a big part of G&W. What exactly is his "gimmick"... or does he even have one that's viable?

He has generally favorable hitboxes. His U-Air windbox is also pretty useful for checking opponents.

Something you can take semi-seriously.

Oh, Shulk about to fsmash you as you're about to hop over on stage?

Just hop on, throw out fair, and somehow it whacks him when he just released his attack. Now act like it's no big deal and move on.

I think still has good priority.

I guess you could class Judgement as his "Gimmick". I think he's just one of those more user-friendly characters like Mario, and easy to pick up.
He has powerful Smashes, good Specials, and quite a number of his moves have Windboxes, which I typically use to throw off opponents.

In this game he's not as much a glass cannon as he is a superb edgeguarder.

I get most of my KOs with U-smash...personally. Move is kinda braindead when it just straight up trolls almost anything that isn't explicitly a low hitting D-tilt.

D-air edgeguarding is also still good for KOs, you just have to recover immediately after D-air ends. Nerfs to F-air and B-air make it much harder to KO with those moves, but it's possible.

Brawl game and watch was insane. At least I could beat boss battles on intense thanks to him
