Pojr, your G&W has to be dumber. Spam the smashes and the upB. Bacon all day at ledge until you force an option. Nair less.

I think the average G&W play is settled at being kind of campy and spammy with the right moves. If you want to be better, you then have to develop the smart tactics and learn the character a lot more. But it generally starts out as something I would call dumb. Down smash into follow ups, upB a lot for safety and aerial combos, Dair depends on how the opponent handles it but can be solid, Bair is nice for spacing and poking, tilts are more okay but not a big deal, and neutralB is just pure ledgetrap but can be good otherwise.

Who's around in 30?

Pojr, we can do some G&W dittos!

My bad on the sd, I sort of lost where I was lol

Yeah man they weren't kidding, your G&W is definitely good dude

Those dittos were awesome dude I'll start giving you some variety now.

I wanna fight pojrs gnw! :0

I wanna get good at Daisy but I just don't know you reliably KO with her, since her Smash attacks seem kinda laggy.

Also whoa didn't realize half of Meta Knights attacks just put him in helpless state and kill him lol.

Okay another 30 min?

Sure

Peach and Daisy have a lot of KO options. Fair and bair are good, forward and up smash work well. You can always do a pretty legit combo to carry off stage or get a nice gimp KO on bad recoveries. Uair, nair, and dash attack work at higher percents.

Welp alright, now we got a group going. I guess well keep doing lol

Yoooo I didn't know you played Duck Hunt, Davy :O

Lol Duck Hunt ditto it was gross

I legitimately lost track of which one I was several times

Holy shit that match with Patty was intense!

Yeah I was on the edge of my seat lol

I'm actually starting to get tired. Probably leave the lobby up another half hour or something. I'll play one or two more in the meantime.

That was pretty good with Yoshi. Too many errant downBs though for lots of damage early on.

GGs guys. It's getting late.

GGs peeps! Was fun to get a game night. It's been too long

Closed?!?! Lol GGs

Yeahhh, Patty said he was only gonna play one or two more right when Pojr signed off for the night lol. It just worked out that way.

thanks man! you are the first person to compliment my g&w lol.

i was overconfident when i brought him out against ace. my g&w did really well in school, and i had a winstreak going for a while. but ace steamrolled me every game lol. im actually glad that happened though, because it put things in perspective that there's still a lot i dont know about the character that i need to learn.

one of the reasons it worked well at school but not on CE is because we all have g&w matchup knowledge thanks to lostforest, ride and ant. at school, i dont think anyone knew what to do against me when i was using him.

No prob my dude. What made you take up G&W anyway? Just for funzies?

i really hate fighting him, and someone once told me "if you hate fighting a character, use that character". rather than me being pissed that i lost to g&w, how about i win with g&w instead? lol. it's definitely not as easy as it looks though, from my experiences. it definitely takes skill to use this character.

Edit: I forgot, he's also really fun to use too. he feels good when i control him. i think i'm getting the hang of it.

You improved a good bit just from yesterday. There are a few things you can fix or implement pretty quickly.

You dont upB enough. You could have ended some Falcon combos by doing that instead of some other option like airdodge. Good OOS option, can combo, and you get to act afterwards.

You started using down smash more so that was really good. You still probably use up smash too much, but overall you have the idea down where you can threaten with smashes in closer range.

You tend to use neutralB too long. There are times where it works out, like they roll into the pan and bounce around, but against me it did basically nothing and left you open on the back side. Some characters can even just go right through it with relative ease so remember that. I dont think either of DK or Yoshi really qualify for that; I know Marth can nair the meat. DK can probably armor through it to an extent and Yoshi can double jump armor into a move maybe.

Frying pan at ledge into f tilt at high percent is what ant always does. It works if you don't DI the bacon away and I feel like most people don't think to do that.

Also I don't think down throw to wolf flash is true on G&W. Were you trying to DI it?

As long as we're in advice-mode, I meant to say yesterday, you should utilize the bucket more! It acts as a reflector on projectiles it doesn't absorb.

Once my daughter is done with Switch Sports, maybe can do some matches

Was in Vegas for a few days and decided to hit up the local.

Wow, keep it up

Thats cool. Took me a while to notice that all of the result stuff is now generated, but thats to be expected. It saves time, but some of the themes people used to come up with were fun; Im sure there are still some custom ones.

Nice work! I think I played Ven in some online matches, and he stomped me lol

Thanks, team. Yeah I agree about the custom PR images. It's totally easier and quicker for the auto generated ones, but it does make it feel less unique. Ven was nice, talked to them for a bit. I choked super hard vs that DK last stock last hit then that ness player absolutely stomped me.

Anyone wanna play?

if you're around in about 2 hours, I should be able to play at that time.

We got the funnel cake making pitcher from Aldi and it was not bad.
