Basic Techniques

Ground Attacks

Button(s) Description/notes
A button Mr.G&W attacks with a can of bug spray. A real weak attack. So weak in fact that a character at 999% will barely move when hit by this attack.
A buttonA button Greenhouse rapid fire. Same attack power as the normal one.
Forward + A button Holds a chair in front of him for a second. Knocks back opponents a bit.
Dash + A button Dons a helmet and slides forward head first
Down control + A button Mr.G&W throws the lid of a manhole off the ground. Fast, and knocks opponents high in the air, making it good for starting combos, as well as for killing lighter opponents at higher percentages. A staple of G&W's ground game.
Up control + A button Swings a flag above him. Relatively quick and decent knockback, but only hits above G&W.
Smash Forward + A button Torch enemies with a.. torch. Charge it up for a poweful attack. An average forward smash.
Smash Down control + A button G&W lays the smackdown with two hammers. Knocks opponents in the air with its sweet spot, has minimal knockback if the opponent is too close.
Smash Up control + A button G&W dons a helmet to smack people with. Sends opponents skyward. Slow and pathetic range.
A button (While lying down) G&W gets up, and jabs his hammer in front of him, then behind him.
A button (Hanging off a ledge) G&W gets up, then swings his bell (The one from his taunt) in front of him.

Aerial Attacks

Button(s) Description/notes
A button G&W deploys a parachute brefily. All parts of G&W's body and parachute do damage. Slow (especially for a neutral air) but it's the most powerful neutral aerial in the game.
Forward + A button Reveal a damaging box of some sort. There is a slight delay in the attack, although it has good knockback and reasonable damage.
Back + A button Swings a turtle behind him. Hits three times, minimal knockback. Can't be L-cancelled.
Down control + A button G&W deploys a key, and shoots downward. He puts away the key after a second, so make sure the enemy is right below him. He's also left slightly vulnerable if he hits the ground with the key.
Up control + A button G&W exhales two blasts of damaging air. The second blast deals more damage than the first, so time it so the second hits the enemy (the first will knock your opponent upwards, keeping them away from the second blast).

Special Attacks

Button(s) Attack Description/notes
B button Chef Throw five sausages at varrying angles from a pan.
Up control + B button Fire Two firefighters carrying a stretcher appear out of nowhere and launch G&W upward. He can damage enemies on the way up.
Down control + B button Oil Panic G&W reveals a bucket for about a second. The bucket can be used to catch energy attacks, such as Fox/Falco's lasers, Samus charge shot, or Pikachu/Pichu's thunderjolts (not, for example, Samus's missiles). When the bucket contains three projectlies, a powerful blast can be projected from the bucket, damage and knockback proportional to what went into the bucket. The bucket will retain it's "oil" even if G&W is KO'd.
Left control (Right control) + B button Judgement G&W slams a gavil forward and holds up a sign with the number 1 to 9 on it.
