Game & Watch's Bair Is A Bad Move.

This is basically a little demonstrational video made by me, Praxis, of how to deal with Mr. Game & Watch's Back Air, aka, Turtle. The move is generally considered difficult to punish, and as G&W is one of my best matchups I figured I'd share some tips.

A good G&W shouldn't be relying on bair anyway; it's a bad move. But, for those who get away with spamming it, maybe this will help some players learn to deal with it.

Spacing or Fast Fall

This Video is a Sh*t!

@FernHades7 So's your mom.

Unfortunately, this video is incredibly misleading for a couple of reasons. First off, spacing was practically non-existent, and the turtle was commonly performed point blank in these examples. Also, there was literally no timing variation in when the turtle was executed. It was practically always done immediately out of a full hop. Lastly, and likely most importantly, air control during the aerial was not shown. Turtle is good. It was still an informative and good video, despite all this.

Unfortunately, I couldn't get a G&W main to be willing to help me on the video :P Regardless, considering that I've played every G&W in the country and beaten all of them except UTD Zac (last stock, last game, he 9'd me at 30% :( ) with Peach and 3-0'd Hylian, I'd say that my tactics against G&W are, at the very least, effective.

Turtle is bad. :P

I wanna see him space it CORRECTLY and get punished by something that isn't a weak jab or long/laggy grab.

Try harder...

However, admittedly, Ice Climbers can't do anything if the Bair is spaced right.

though I have succeeded in SDIing down into the ground and grabbing in a match once or twice, then solo Popo CGing till Nana caught up.

spacing was pretty awful in nearly all the video clip examples

@NDSstudios short hop*

Basically, we have to block? Thanks for the tip.

Suddenly GaW spaced... :O

@NPPodcast

I agree that your accomplishments make you a credible source, though Turtle is still a good move, lol.

However, without spacing, variation of timing, and perhaps a couple of real game clips, this video is far from how good it should be. Did you really need a GnW main to have someone space Bairs on you?
