I've been having some problems fighting G&W , i've already searched on advantages and disadvantages when fighting him and mostly i only find one thing .SPAMMING MT and i frecuently do pull it off , but i dont really like relying on the spamming game :/ , he usually beats my fair with his fair , and in the ground the only thing he does is an infinite down smash barrage it's not that he gets me always but i cant really counter attack it unless i use a special attack and most of the times it leaves my open to an attack , i've been finding the down tilt very effective against it ,but if he gets me with the d smash he usually sends me flying and thats where the problem begins , he almost always wins in the aerial game and pushes me into a defensive gave and it's commonly a very even match ,but i like having control of the match .

Most of the times i finish him off with an up +b , or a dsmash , but then he just comes back and gets me with one of his d /smashes and ko's me very easily and the whole cycle repeats again and again , i was wondering if someone could give me some advice i'd really appreciate it , i didn't find a thread of G&W match up , sorry if there's already a place to talk about this , but if you can help , id be very thankfull

Wow, He is Dsmash spamming? Im surprised. Just Sh Fair or float above him with MT. Box should NOT be out prioritizing your air game. If I were you, Id be much more worried about his 5 second Fsmash.

ftilt..im a gw main, and ftilt is a good move to use against a dsmash spammer..also, do alot of up b's glide attack..

did you know? you can start an up B RIGHT AWAY after slashing from a glide attack..keep doing this.

Well Zephyr and I have our insight on our Ask All Matchup Questions Here thread on our first page (towards near the end of the first post) if you want to take a gander at that...
