PUNISH Mr. Game & Watch's UpB with every character

[@StrobicsGaming]

Hey MockRock viewers!! Thanks for watching. This video is more of a baseline to see what's possible. In a real match you'll want to implement ways to bait a g&w upb with, for example, a safe move on shield that he cant upb! Almost all characters can do Short hop retreating aerials and not get hit by an upb! if it happens to Maister(which it does) it can be done to most g&w players!

[@StrobicsGaming]

Hey there! There's no denying some characters simply have a harder time punishing him. Mario and Pikachu for example have a rough time punishing normal UpB. But hey at least they aren't Steve! If you suck at punishing him try your best to bait his down air! If he upb's from ground level he will hit the ground and suffer landing lag. If you cant outrange dair from underneath use shields or punish from the side!

poor steve :( idek if even NIL up smash could punish it and its usually our quickest punish option for people way above us being able to shark top plat but if g&w up b goes beyond top plat then yea steves screwed

[@Alexrun902]

Videos like these are super helpful and useful, and I'm glad they exist. It's especially for characters that struggle against G&W, such as Fox, Falco, Pikachu, Pichu, Peach, Captain Falcon, Ness, R.O.B., etc.

You included the miis, you deserve good weather every day from now on

Mocrock sent me. Lovely video. Could you please add time stamps for each character? Thank you very much for this video. That up and b is the bane of a lot of characters existence. And even a little counter play is dope

2:11 this is why I lose the game and watch matchup 😭

[@weirdpersonv]

Great video, will definitely note these down

[@KiravTM]

This is pretty good. I better be on the lookout for these punishes whenever I play gnw lol. Though I don’t always down air after it. Anyways the video was good so keep it up.

EXCUSE ME DID LITTLE MAC JUST PUNSIH GW UP D

[@ryankao2248]

What about airdodging instead of fair after the up b? Would there be a difference then?

[@StrobicsGaming]

Airdodge can't be buffered and at best it would be frame 10 while down air is frame 12. Realistically though it would be slower than frame 10. I kept airdodge into account in my testing!

[@anthonyfish8236]

It's really sad that Ness, Mewtwo and Lucas all can't punish Mr. Game & Watch's Fire due to their double jumps not being fast enough 😭

[@jhamandrogrisk7724]

Curious if Sora can punish this. Nice video.

[@StrobicsGaming]

His double jump is too slow. But Sora's Upair should still give g&w some trouble since g&w does have to land

[@thefatchincat7017]

Good video!

[@mohamedbelbaali659]

Ok but he does down-air after. What if he mashes air dodge instead

[@StrobicsGaming]

If he is hit before his down air comes out you would've hit him before his airdodge came out. There's a 7 frame delay when doing "drop parachute -> airdodge". There's no delay when doing an attack while in parachute.

Where’s chrom what am I supposed to do

[@StrobicsGaming]

He is an echo. So you do the same as roy

[@termamonpiediepew]

couldn't ness and lucas use pk thunder to punish?

[@StrobicsGaming]

Pretty sure that's too slow

[@davecammus7869]

Any way to aviod the punish?

[@StrobicsGaming]

Loll. That would kind of ruin the point of this video.

[@thesweetspot3044]

i wonder, can sora punish the up b?

[@StrobicsGaming]

Double jump rises too slowly but doesn't matter. His up air beats dairs anyway

[@yobber757]

NOOOO DONT SHOW THEM THIS

[@bredfigure2902]

Smash is such an ass made game that you can spam up B without any major repercussion 😅
