but you can empty it when you have high percentages ^^

I think it can be good to have it full almost all the time. You get a power that can potentially KO your opponent at insanely low percentanges (if it's a well-stocked bucket) and make your opponents keep their distance most of the time. I mean, you'll still have to deal with the campers, but it will still make most opponents think twice about approaching you. That's part of Oil Panic's charm: the fear it can create. I think the problem is that G&W users think they have to immediately use Oil Panic right after they get their bucket full--it's probably why Oil Panic has gotten so predictable. They need to learn to throw in some mind games to give Oil Panic a better chance to work.Having a full bucket means you die a lot earlier. It's not always good to have it full.
Didn't this start with -LzR- asking whether to bucket Falco's lazers? I know an empty bucket is much more useful than a full bucket in staying alive, but I think a full bucket is still useful as a killing move, depending on the power and implying you're able to find a way to connect the hit. In general, I say bucket whatever energy shot comes your way, from any character your opponent uses, so you have a chance to punish them for camping or spamming energy shot moves or whatever. You can always empty it, even if you're not trying to hit the enemy, and regain your bucket brake later on.Holding on to buckets is not worth all the mental tomfoolery. Living is way better lol
According to Omegablackmage's Mr. Game and Watch Guide, you're right. An Oil Panic charged with 3 of Falco's Blaster shots gives out 25% damage, the same as a fully charged F-Smash or U-Smash. Since trying to fully charge one of those smashes takes much longer than using Oil Panic to give out the same amount of damage, I'd go with Oil Panic anytime.If you're not dumb, any bucket is really useful. Fast, powerful (even falco's bucket is probably as strong as a smash), does a lot of damage, great range, has invincibility frames. People tend to save it so they can get the kill with it, but really you should use it whenever you have an opening.
Maybe that kills at whatever percentage might only apply to midweights?From my experience, the guide lies.
*using this next tourney*Another good thing about the bucket is that it interupts falco's cg. I am actually not too sure how legit it is, but I've played falco players that are aware of it, who tried to do it as quickly as possible, and it still worked.
It's a great trick if the falco is at around 100%, and you just died with a full bucket. You purposely get grabbed, and kill him for cging you. Kind of a gimmick, but lots of players aren't fully aware of it.
Really? Falco's a fast faller, like Fox and Wolf, so I thought he'd be a midweight. I know falling speed isn't the same as weight, but it usually applies to most characters, like Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Snake.Falco is a lightweight (I think) so it should be even earlier.
Fox is the second fastest faller and a lightweightReally? Falco's a fast faller, like Fox and Wolf, so I thought he'd be a midweight. I know falling speed isn't the same as weight, but it usually applies to most characters, like Bowser, Donkey Kong, and Snake.
Okay. So then at 65% it should definitely KO a Fox or Falco, assuming there's no DI.Fox is the second fastest faller and a lightweight
no correlation, it just doesnt make sense for a gorillaz or turtle monster to be floaty
None really exist lol. Vinnie vs junebug, razer and seibrik are all legit sets.Alphyyy you got any awesome videos you'd recommend me to watch? Good G&W videos are hard to come by especially when not looking at the MK ones.
I just saw a Vinnie vs Junebug video from the KTAR 6 tournament that I thought was pretty good. -LzR- is right, though--Vinnie is a speed demon with G&W.None really exist lol. Vinnie vs junebug, razer and seibrik are all legit sets.
I have some ok videos like vs KillL0ck, asa and breez that I posted in the video thread.
I think vex has a couple sets vs DEHF somewhere, but it's on a stream, so it'd be hard to find. Other than that, quality GaW vids are hard to come by.
Haters gonna hate.Already watched that set you linked. It's crazy, but I want more like that. Too bad there really isn't.
Except Alphicans but he just sucks
