Who is G&W weak against?

[SilverFett]

Title says it all. I have trouble playing against G&W and I needed a secondary anyway, so I want to make a secondary that is good against him.

 

[Gishnak]

Marth, Snake, MK.

Snake: Snake is G&W's hardest matchup. Snake can kill G-dub VERY easily. G&W needs borderline perfect spacing to not get punished by Snake and getting punished by Snake hurts alot. Plus, G&W does not have any special tools to counteract Snake's stage control.

Toon Link: G&W has trouble getting past Toon Link's projectile spam. And even Toon Link has some ease killing G&W.

Marth: Marth can space G-dub as well as G-dub can space Marth. But Marth also has power, speed, and a better approach (G&W's safest approach, bair, is somewhat impacted by intelligent use of counter by the Marth).

DK: DK has the range and the power to make quick work of G&W. G&W also has a bit of trouble killing DK. But due to G&W's disjointed attacks beating DK's attacks and G&W's superiority in the air, the match is presumed even.

Those are the characters I would look into first.

Good metaknight's as well.

But mostly Toon Link/Snake.

Snake is the biggest counter, with close seconds in Marth and Metaknight. Diddy also probably has a slight advantage, moreso when you don't know the matchup, but this is debatable. I think it's 6:4, but I have only played Chompy for three matches and went 2-1.

So those guys are the counters. Everyone else is neutral, or close to neutral, or better for G&W.

This is pretty accurate.

Snake for sure. When I picked up Snake and had only played him for a day, I was already beating my GaW friend who had been maining him for a long time.

Snake is by far my hardest matchup

TL isn't too bad, you can cancel all his projectiles with dtilt or bair

Marth is tough, but you have a disjointed hitbox (bair) just like him, so its fairly even

MK is hard for everyone, but this matchup is slightly in favor of MK, but not by a whole bunch.

Fox!

Really!

 

[streetracr77]

Marth and MK are pretty good against him, try them.

 

[PoisonMist]

Metaknight and Snake

 

[The_Blue_Bomber]

Snake and Meta Knight definitely, I also heard that Marth does well against him.

 

[XtACY]

for snake, cant g&w just aerial down A to avoid getting hit by snakes upsmash?

 

[K 2]

You will just get owned by his utilt...All he has to do is shield your dair and then utilt your face.

 

[Neb]

And if you didn't DI the set-up hitbox on Snake's usmash, the missile can hit you before the start-up of dair begins.

That's not the problem when it comes to Snake.
