G notes (as of 3/28/2022)

Adjustments (3/28/2022):
- st. lp reduced pushback on hit (better CH confirms?)
- G smash over/under in the corner won't randomly miss
- EX Smash over/under can cancel into vt2
- EX G Spin Kick can cancel into G Explosion when final attack hits
- G Rage (d+hp+hk in vt2 command grab) can be used twice during the timer,
and doesn't incur additional costs if it connects. Better oki (+6f from whatever it
is now). Can be cancelled into VS2/charge/metergain if it connects

At a Glance:

- Anti-Airs:
cr. hp
b+hp
vs1
- Pokes:
st. mk
st. hk
cr. mp
st. lp
- BnBs:
st. mp, cr. mp xx srk+p
- Punishes:
cr. hp xx srk+p

Character Specific Mechanic:

Mr President! - G's main additional mechanic is

Presidentiality, which is represented by a small globe above the CA bar, and next
to his v-meter. By performing g-charge (d+pp in neutral, pp off a cancel from a
special/normal), G will increase his presidentiality level. He loses
presidentiality by being knocked down. Presidentiality improves his specials across
the board, with level 3 presidentiality providing free EX moves.

Robbery, Inc. - G's VT1 is considered one of the strongest v-

triggers in the game, and completely transforms the character into a character that
can corner in a single combo, and kill in two mixups against most characters.
There's no real way to mitigate this threat, either, as he receives the same sort
of damage off of a command grab that he does off of a regular BnB starter.

Normals:
st. lp (4/5/3) - defensive bufferable normal. Native tick throw button
st. mp (6/7/3) - party starter. spaces you correctly for a command grab.
st. hp (11/3/-3) - CC (corkscrew knockdown), good spacing/buffer button
st. lk (5/4/1) - another buffer button. Native tick throw button
st. mk (9/2/-2) - midrange poke.
st. hk (9/2/-5) - long range poke, significant recovery (25f)

cr. lp (4/5/2) - Native tick throw button

cr. mp (7/5/2) - bufferable, cancellable normal
cr. hp (8/1/-3) - beastly anti-air, one of your conversion buttons
cr. lk (4/4/1) - low starter. Native tick throw button
cr. mk (8/4/-2) - decent poke
cr. hk (10/D/-14)

j. lp (-/-/-) - can cancel into airborne vs1 to provide a cheeky

knockdown/instant air overhead against tall characters.
j. mp (-/-/-) - grounds the opponent as an air-to-air
j. hp (-/-/-) - good jumping hitbox
j. lk (-/-/-) -
j. mk (-/-/-) -
j. hk (-/-/-) - broad/long range jumping hitbox

Anti-Airs:

cr. hp - unbelievably good hitbox that hits behind G as well as in front. his
best option
vs1 - slow startup, but builds v-meter
b+hp - bufferable into wheel kick for really good damage as an anti-air
- b+hp xx lk/mk wheel kick into srk+p in lvl 2 presidentiality, for
example
- on trade, can combo into srk+pp
j. mp - air to air, slams the opponent to the ground.

Command Normals:
f+hp (15/2/-4) - Forward moving spin CC. Can be spaced correctly to beat attempted
punishes with st. lk
b+hp (9/D/-5) - two-hit juggle move, beastly anti-air but also a key greedy
frametrap
f+hk (25/1/-7) - Overhead.
d+mp (air) - Body splash. Crosses up.

Specials:

vs1 - G-Barrier (ex: vs1)

- Forms a small shield around G, nullifies non EX projectiles.
- Striking the opponent with the shield results in a knockdown
- Can be performed in the air. Absorbing a projectile in the air allows G to
perform a followup air to ground normal as usual
- Unsafe on block.

vs2 - G Protection (ex: vs2)

- Gives G 10% damage resistance per stack, up to 3 stacks
- Preserves presidentiality at the cost of the vs2 stacks when knocked down.

d+pp - G Charge (ex: charge)

- Increases G's Presidentiality Meter
- Can be held to gain full presidentiality
- Any special/normal can be cancelled on hit or block into g-charge with (pp
for special, d+pp for normal)
- that being said, safest options for g-charge come from g-barrier
knockdown (vs1) or g over smash knockdown (srk+p)

d+kk - Message To The People (ex: Speech)

- Gives a nice chunk of meter gain, even if you don't actually say anything
at all
- Any special/normal can be cancelled on hit or block into Speech with (kk
for special, d+kk for normal)
- that being said, safest options for g-charge come from g-barrier
knockdown (vs1) or g over smash knockdown (srk+p)

f+ppp - G-revenge
- 17f knockdown v-reversal

srk+p - G Smash Over (ex: srk+lp)

- -4 on block, ex is -6 on block
 - level 2 presidentiality: launches opponent a small amount higher, mp
version can be followed with srk+kk
- level 3/ex: wallbounces opponent with a juggle followup
- Can cancel into other specials on second hit (like in vt1) by using
ex meter.
- l/m versions are level 1/2 versions
- EX version can be cancelled into vt1 on hit or block.

srk+k - G Smash Under (ex: srk+lk)

- -8 on block across the board
- Level 2 provides more damage and stun
- Level 3/ex: hits opponent twice low.
- Can cancel into other specials on second hit (like in vt1) by using
ex meter.
- l/m versions are level 2 versions
- EX version can be cancelled into vt1 on hit or block.

qcf+p - G Burst (ex: qcf+lp)

- Diagonal travelling fireball
- Level 1 hits once
- 2 hits twice
- 3/ex hits twice, second hit is a knockdown from magma spray.
- Can cancel into other specials on second hit (like in vt1) by using
ex meter.
- l/m versions are level 2 versions

qcf+k - G Spin Kick (ex: qcf+mk)

- Incredibly hard to anti-air wheel kick
- Level 1: -5 on block, +3 on hit
- Level 2: -5 on block, +5 on hit (allows for combo followups)
- Level 3/EX: -2 on block, knockdown on hit, projectile invincible.

hcb+k - G Impact (ex: hcb+k)

- 12f command grab with juggle followups
- Level 1: Least damage, one strike, limited followups
- Level 2: More damage, two strikes, can be cancelled into specials for
additional followups
- Level 3: Most damage, three hits, can be cancelled into specials for
additional followups
- st. mp spaces this perfectly as a tick grab. Still, enough of a gap for an
8f button.

qcfx2+p - Pangaea Burst (ex: CA)

- 1-10F full invincibility
- Very unsafe on block
- 330 damage

VT1: MAXIMUM PRESIDENT

- Locks G to level 3, adds a single cancel off of each special, and empowers
his vs1/vs2
- Activation is an install
- Any special can be cancelled into a second special or a v-skill
- VS1 fires the barrier as a multi-hit fireball
- VS2 is armored from frames 3 to 31.
- Amount of v-timer received on activation is dependent upon g's level
beforehand
- Level 1 yields half the original v-timer
- Level 2 yields the same v-timer as the original
- Level 3 yields 1.5x the original v-timer.

Activation routes: (numbers are on-block)

st. mk xx vt1 (+12)
st. hk xx vt1 (+14)
f+hp xx vt1 (+15)
srk+pp xx vt1 (+10) (50-50 on block into st. hp or command grab)
srk+kk xx vt1 (+4)

generic midscreen combo:
srk+pp (first hit) xx vt1, srk+p xx vs1, srk+k xx qcf+k (267/340)

optimal)

VT2: DANGEROUS PRESIDENT

- adds two new moves to G's arsenal. a followup hp+hk explosion, and a
devastating d+hp+hk armored command grab
- Activation is an install
- Less comeback potential and robbery than vt1, so most players don't use
this.
- ex g smash over and smash under can be cancelled into vt2
- G Rage (command grab) consumes half your meter on activation, and does not
consume any additional v-time if it connects.
