As seen, GL got another top 8! Great! But we need to find a way to further optimize the character so that this keeps happening as time goes on. We need ideas going on how we can improve our chances. GL is a great character, and I personally feel like the character doesn't lose anything that hard (Even though we saw GL get taken down by 2 characters believed to beat GL, I feel @Orochi had shots to do some things better and to me I feel like he missed them).
So with that said, let's run through some ideas. I have a few, so let's start it off.
-I feel like MB oa is so important...way more than we currently see. The move gives us huge + frames on block, and knocks the opponent closer to us on hit (and if we're close enough, we should always net 35+%). And I feel in the matchups where we need to get in fast, it's probably our best move. And as people start getting down backdashing b13, b1 xx MB oa will become much more vital for us in the footsies game. Obviously the move gets recognition from us, but I don't think we've really noted its importance just yet. And I feel like it can shift matchups away from as much disadvantage for us. Not to our advantage, but at least even.
-GL's damage is really good, and he easily sets up guaranteed interactables for the most part. And I feel like we need to start playing around that more. I know we have trait LM oki, but when we can get 40-70% by just finishing out the combo or setting up the interactable, why not? And we should use the meter often to convert. Off of a ranged MB oa, we can get 47% for 2 bars. It's great. Like we should be doing that. Especially when we have two HKD enders (LM and 223) that still put us in a solid position for offense, anyway. And I think with the trait LM oki, we should just cash in on our next opportunity fully instead of keeping things going. We won't know when we'll get that chance again.
-Abuse trait more! The property changes are really helpful, especially ones like the air rocket and turbine improvements...and the damage buff helps, too. We should be using this a lot, especially when we get trait back so fast and it lasts forever.
-Once backdashing b13 becomes a common occurrence, we need to start capitalizing on the fact that the opponent still has to be scouting this option. Use this as a way to set up things like b3s, walking into the opponent's faces, getting them hip to also paying attention to jumps for which we can bait out AA attempts and air oa, etc. b1 just opens up so much that we don't use.
That's all I have. Let's go guys!!!
