game and watch is much better in this game. his new BAIR and NAIR are very effective. though his up-b doesn't go as high anymore, he has a parachute at the end of it and he can attack after doing it.

one thing i don't like about him is that he charges down his DAIR. none of the moves did that in melee but in brawl they do. you can easily miss it now and accidentally suicide with it.

other than that game and watch is a good character

If this has been discussed already....sorry:)
Im still new with G&W...lol
Did anyone know bair can stage spike your opponent?
I was training with G&W against Ganon and while he was hanging on the ledge I did a bair and it stage spiked him at 0%. I tested this out more and noticed it only works if the turtle does the last downward bite motion.It was funny to see Ganon get spiked...lol:)

... if you suicide G&W's d air you fail... press down to make the fall into a normal fast fall during the move... even if you don't you still should have more than enough room to jump and Up B..

...i'd spend more time telling you about this but i lol'd at your last post so i'm not gunna bother

I tried that, but it doesn't react till you are nearly off the stage. Then it's too late.

If you slow fall they key by pressing down, there is plenty of time to jump and upB
apparently from what he said he's trying to start his D air in ridiculous situations lol otherwise you should never SD with G&W

lol at the 'doesn't kick in' by the way lol

i say mrgaw should have better match ups against big heavy characters like bowser because of his speed and shairs (short hop airs)
