Gambit's main abilities are, quick projectiles, speed, and some strange fighting styles that enable him to get out of corners easiliy, but he's still is a very offensive player. His Cajun Explosion is truly meant to get some quick hits in and ruin an opponent's ego. The thing that really gives Gambit a serious advantage is his long ass kick, you can trip an opponent and the reach in the air is insane. If you wanna be great with Gambit, you gotta utilize those kicks.
Best assist: Projectile (Kinetic card)
While battling a large opponent: You gotta stay semi-close to the big guys cause you got a lotta speed, your leg sweep has a lotta reach so take advantage of that. Only stay back when someone starts doing projectiles, you can hang with projectiles doin your weak Kinetic card, but your real advantage is in the air cause of your Fierce kick's range and the fact it's easy to throw when you kick close enough. When the big guys start dashing, your weak Cajun strike and crouching Fierce kick can give them a lotta trouble, even blocking is useless cause you can usually trip them if you time it fast enough.
While battling a small opponent: Usually you gotta be close as possible, but the small guys tend to retreat often. Instead of dashing towards these small guys, only inch near them with your weak Cajun strike, and your crouching Fierce kick will give em hell when you dash and land it. Attacking in the air is good, but you wanna throw some Kinetic cards, and when they're near you get em with your Fierce kick.
While battling an average opponent: Keep clear of projectiles but remember Gambit has incredibly fast footspeed and attack, the only lag he has is his Kinetic card and Royal flush attacks. Play close, jump all you want if you can time your Fierce kick, you can rarely do an Air cajun strike which usually makes opponents start to block everything. You can dash in and throw them around till they start to evade, when they start gettin a distance on you, the reach of your Supers will really piss em off. |
