It was bound to happen eventually. G&W is my true main and the character I know best. I'll edit this with a real guide later. I dunno if anyone's interested in G&W, but must people don't know anything about him. Also, Aaron and Chexr's G&W is better than mine so maybe they can add input to the guide when I'm done.

haha nice sig 56k

here's my thoughts on G&W

he's light, his roll sucks, his shield sucks, his sidestep sucks, and his dashdance is short. HOWEVER he still kicks all sorts of ass. To move you really gotta wavedash a lot, because his dash dance just doesn't cut it. i like to waveland backwards into fairs a lot. Fair is like one of his sweetest moves, and you can do sweet combos like fair -> fair -> something else.

I've never really been a judgement combo fan because I never get 9s so I don't use it as much as some G&ws but I still do use it, pretty much only out of a throw though.

his up B is sooo friggen good and his sweet spot is just as good, you can recover from ridiculous stuff all day. It is also used in combos to add some %, or at least I do. parachute is the best edgeguard, and dtilt is the best dtilt in the game. you can pressure shields with dtilt -> dtilt and stuff. it comes out so fast! and against fastfallers it combos into fair / parachute, and against chars like peach you can kill with it at 100%.

G&W can chainthrow pretty well too, and you never know which throw is coming. against CF and stuff you can upthrow chainthrow until he doesn't DI left/right, then parachute him then chase him and gimp him with something awesome like dtilt -> edgehog. G&W's uptilt is sweet too. also you can edgeguard with THE CHAIR MWAHAHA. but if they're coming from below dtilt is better.

Bair is sweet because you can get people off your back with it, dont use upsmash, dsmash is a little surprise, you can hit with the edge of it for a lot of damage. dont overuse it though, dtilt is GENERALLY better. also jab combos into dtilt. his dash attack looks like trash but it is hard for the enemy to grab you from it.

thats about it

edit: oh yeah dair is amazing too

lol that's basically it. I'd like to elaborate a bit more on dair though. For me, dair is my main combo starter. Dair (hits twice) to dtilt and then follow it up, usually with a fair. G&W is great at comboing fastfallers and large characters. Also, edgeguarding with ftilt and dtilt = pwnage. It helps to know which one to use, I believe dtilt sends them slightly higher and less horizontal than ftilt. Because G&W is completely disjointed, he had ultimate priority and his tilts will stop ANY move. Easiest and very fun against CF/Ganon. I consider them the easiest edgeguards in the game besides Marth/Roy's. I'm being lazy but I haven't forgotten about this guide. :)
