Matchup Info.
This matchup is super frustrating. He can't be camped well, he has more kill power, can't be chased of the edge, and had more priority. so what do we do with our winged friend to combat the 2D monster?
In the words of UTD Zac - "Walk Away!" it's a great mind game against G&W. His kill moves are predictable along with the bair and the smashes kill you and the bair racks damage and you can't get through so why run into it? Stay patient and and make him come to you. Although he can absorb arrows, it doesn't mean you can't out smart him with them, And even if he gets a full bucket, then you can go crazy with arrows because now you have the move to look out for that he plans to kill you with, and he can't bucket break.
When Zac says walk away he truly means walk. Don't run, walk. If you roll you can't capitalize and if you run its harder to stop and space your self, and it drives some G&W's crazy.
Wing lunging is also effective in this matchup since G&W is so aggressive in this matchup.
(For those who don't know wing lunging is jump<WoI<Fair or Bair) it messes with his timing and good when you need to be aggressive.
Do not Chase G&W watch off the edge. He will beat you every time. Our only option for G&W when off the stage is when he is returning, stay grounded with your back turned. if He misses the sweetspot the edge with the up-b, BAIR HIS ***!
This is a 65/35 G&W easily.. Stay patient and use his aggressiveness against him.
