Gambit is a tricky and wildly fun character with an emphasis on good spacing and zoning with his normals and his Kinetic Card and Trick Card specials. He has high damage combo conversions on point with cards and supers, and his fast ground movement - combined with Cajun Strike - makes him tricky to pin down. He is also an excellent team player, with his α-assist being a projectile that causes a pseudo-capture state, letting some characters get conversions that would otherwise be totally impossible. If you like throwing cards, nice normals, and the best damn cape animation in the business, then try your luck with Gambit.

The hitbox going across the screen is invisible - on the ground, the cards fly horizontally, in the air they fly down at a 45 degree angle. On hit these hold the opponent in place for a while, allowing for some conversions. This special slows your momentum in the air, which can let you stall for time for a bit. The light version starts faster and ends slower, heavy starts slower and ends faster. An integral part of Gambit gameplay is throwing a bunch of cards, so get used to doing these in all kinds of situations.

Pressing straight up jumps to the wall in front of you. Pressing away from the wall while you're on it allows you to jump to the other wall and jump off that one. Unlike Cajun Escape, once you have decided to jump again or not, you will automatically followup with a divekick off the wall. The LK version dives closer to the wall, the HK version dives further from the wall. This attack is a bit better than Cajun Escape, and allows Gambit to stuff some things that may be tricky to otherwise.

Story

Remy LeBeau, known by his alias of Gambit, is a mutant from the X-Men comics by Marvel. A smooth talker and a well known thief, Gambit has the ability to charge objects with kinetic energy, causing them to explode. He is an anti-hero character, sometimes working with the X-Men and sometimes working against them.

Gameplay

Gambit is a tricky and wildly fun character with an emphasis on good spacing and zoning with his Kinetic Card and Trick Card specials. He has high damage combo conversions on point with cards and supers, and his fast ground movement - combined with Cajun Strike - makes him tricky to pin down. He is also an excellent team player, with his α-assist being a projectile that causes a pseudo-capture state, letting some characters get conversions that would otherwise be totally impossible. If you like throwing cards, being generally hard to catch, and having the best damn cape animation in the business, then try your luck with Gambit.

"Don't mess with the Cajun!"

Gambit is a slippery character with an emphasis on zoning and playing with his throwing card specials. He generally does well in the middle slot, as he has a good assist with a strong safe DHC.

Strengths Weaknesses
  • High Damage: Gambit has excellent damage on point with the right connects, getting a couple of cards into his Royal Flush super can do outstanding damage for one bar.
  • Great Grounded Movement: Gambit's fast ground dash and Cajun Strike special allow him to zip across the screen to run away or approach.
  • Team Player: Gambit's α-assist is a fantastic assist that allows for wonderful synergies. He also has a safe DHC in his Cajun Explosion.
  • Inconsistent Combos: Gambit's combos, especially with cards, are a little tricky to land, and his Royal Flush super can do wildly different amounts of damage depending on where it connects on the opponent.
  • Meter Usage: Both supers are slow, and while one is a bit better for spamming, you still have to be careful as to when you decide to use it.
  • Weird Air Normals: Gambit has a very high launcher, and his air normals have some strange hitboxes, making air chains a little trickier than usual to do.

Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
- - - - -

Gambit throws out a small backhand strike. Less range than the animation suggests, but you really won't be hitting this button all that much outside of scrambles and attempting to anti-air.


Medium Punch

MVC2 Gambit 5MP 01.png
MVC2 Gambit 5MP 02.png
Looks like a nice counterpoke... oh. Right.
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard
- - - - -
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
- - - - -

Gambit swats downward with his staff. Just a combo filler medium.


Heavy Punch
Hp.png
MVC2 Gambit 5HP 01.png
You'd definitely lose a tooth if you got hit by this irl
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard
- - - - -
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
- - - - -

Gambit swings horizontally with the staff. Causes a recoverable knockdown on hit. Nice for knocking the opponent backward for some breathing room, but completely useless for combos solo. However, the hitbox is very high up, which means it can whiff on some crouching characters. Also has the adverse effect of granting characters unfly, so be very careful with who you use this against.


Light Kick
Lk.png
MVC2 Gambit 5LK 01.png
If only...
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard
- - - - -
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
- - - - -

Gambit throws a short knee. Other than it being tied for your fastest button, this is pretty much redundant with all the other lights.


Medium Kick
Mk.png
MVC2 Gambit 5MK 01.png
Wow, nice poke! Would be a shame if it was inaccessible in neutral
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard
- - - - -
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
- - - - -

Gambit throws a side kick. Just like 5MP, this is mostly just a combo filler medium.


Heavy Kick
Hk.png
MVC2 Gambit 5HK 01.png
Big ol' boot
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard
- - - - -
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
- - - - -

Gambit throws a high kick. The shortest characters in the game can crouch underneath this hitbox. Generally a good high hitstun grounded ender into LP or LK+HP Cajun Slash, but needs some help for larger conversions.


Crouching Light Punch
D.png+Lp.png
MVC2 Gambit 2LP 01.png
What if stand light punch, but lower?
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard
- - - - -
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
- - - - -

Gambit throws a backhand strike, but this time while crouching. Tied for his fastest normal, and perhaps a bit better for scrambles due to it's smaller hurtbox.


Crouching Medium Punch
D.png+Mp.png
MVC2 Gambit 2MP 01.png
MVC2 Gambit 2MP 02.png
Yeah you smack that floor Gambit
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard
- - - - -
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
- - - - -

Gambit swing his staff downward, but crouching. Again, not much use outside of being a combo filler medium.


Crouching Heavy Punch
D.png+Hp.png
MVC2 Gambit 2HP 01.png
MVC2 Gambit 2HP 02.png
To the MOON!
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard
- - - - -
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
- - - - -

Gambit swings upward with his staff. Your primary launcher, and combos after a Light>Medium string. Has a nice hitbox for coverage, so could be used for anti-airs, just adjust for its slower startup. Launches unusually high and vertically, making conversions awkward at first.


Crouching Light Kick
D.png+Lk.png
MVC2 Gambit 2LK 01.png
Watch ya toes, mon ami
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard
- - - - -
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
- - - - -

Gambit throws a low kick. Being a low, this is pretty important for Gambit, and also can confirm into launcher. Strangely a lot slower than his other lights, but still invaluable for confirming.


Crouching Medium Kick
D.png+Mk.png
MVC2 Gambit 2MK 01.png
WOW NICE POKE WOULD BE A SHAME IF IT WAS INACCESSIBLE IN NEUTRAL
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard
- - - - -
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
- - - - -

Gambit throws a longer range low kick. Yet another combo filler medium, but this one is good because it's a second low and still allows for a confirm into launcher.


Crouching Heavy Kick
D.png+Hk.png
MVC2 Gambit 2HK 01.png
Didn't want that combo anyway
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard
- - - - -
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
- - - - -

Gambit's sweep. Not really a big reason to be hitting this one, except at near the tip ranges of 2MK where it's the only ender. A cancel into HP Cajun Slash can OTG after this if they don't tech roll, otherwise no conversion is available.

j.Lp.png
MVC2 Gambit j.LP 01.png
ANOTHER ONE?!

- - - - -
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock

Yet another quick backhand strike. Mainly just for air combos, but has some nice active frames so could potentially be used for air-to-air purposes.


Jumping Medium Punch

MVC2 Gambit j.MP 01.png
MVC2 Gambit j.MP 02.png

Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard
- - - - -
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
- - - - -

A swat upward in the air. Not really useful outside of combo filler.


Jumping Heavy Punch
j.Hp.png
MVC2 Gambit j.HP 01.png
Brain damage
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard
- - - - -
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock
- - - - -

A jump attack with a juicy hitbox. Your go-to air-to-ground attack, and can chain into j.HK afterward for an additional hit. Try superjumping and whiff cancelling this into Kinetic Cards for a sequence that may be tough to get in on. Pretty good, though Gambit isn't really able to abuse this as much as he'd like to.


Jumping Light Kick

MVC2 Gambit j.LK 01.png
Crouch light kick, in the air!
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard
- - - - -
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock

A kick with some ok range. Generally going to be used as combo filler, but could be used as an air-to-air like j.LP.


Jumping Medium Kick
j.Mk.png
MVC2 Gambit j.MK 01.png
Sonic the Hedgehog lookin' ahh
Damage Startup Active Recovery Guard
- - - - -
Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock

Special Property Cancel Adv. Hit Adv. Guard Adv. Pushblock

Gambit holds up some glowing playing cards, then flings them across the screen. The hitbox going across the screen is invisible - on the ground, the cards fly horizontally, in the air they fly down at a 45 degree angle. On hit these hold the opponent in place for a while, allowing for some conversions. This special slows your momentum in the air, which can let you stall for time for a bit. The light version starts faster and ends slower, heavy starts slower and ends faster. An integral part of Gambit gameplay is throwing a bunch of cards, so get used to doing these in all kinds of situations.

Gambit holds up some glowing playing cards, then flings them upward across the screen at a 45 degree angle. The hitbox going across the screen is invisible. Not possible to do in the air, unlike Kinetic Card. Still very nice for controlling the air space. You'll probably be doing this more than normal Kinetic Card because it's such a good angle to cover, so this is a move not to be forgotten about.

Gambit lunges forward and swipes quickly with his staff. Your most consistent combo ender on the ground that actually gives a knockdown, and combos from all of your lights and chains. If you're not sure what will hit, this will.

Gambit hops into the air and swipes a few times with his staff. Less combo friendly than LP Cajun Slash. The first hit can OTG off sweep, and does some nice damage, though it's hard to find a good time to use this.

Gambit does a three hit staff combo, but stays grounded. Good for combos, but not as consistent as LP Cajun Slash. Also no conversions to supers again, so this one is fine but nothing special.

Gambit jumps away to the wall, then flips off of it to dive toward the opponent. Which direction you press up determines what wall you jump to. Pressing straight up jumps to the wall in front of you. Pressing away from the wall while you're on it allows you to jump to the other wall and jump off that one. You can press a punch button during this flip at any time to perform the attack. The attack portion is gimmicky, but works well as an escape option and to get around things that may trouble some characters.

Gambit jumps away to the wall, then flips off of it to divekick toward the opponent. Which direction you press up determines what wall you jump to. Pressing straight up jumps to the wall in front of you. Pressing away from the wall while you're on it allows you to jump to the other wall and jump off that one. Unlike Cajun Escape, once you have decided to jump again or not, you will automatically followup with a divekick off the wall. The LK version dives closer to the wall, the HK version dives further from the wall. This attack is a bit better than Cajun Escape, and allows Gambit to stuff some things that may be tricky to otherwise.

Gambit crouches down, then throws a bunch of kinetic cards at the enemy, trapping them in place. Gambit snaps his fingers and the cards explode. Does pretty good damage for a level 1, and is very DHC friendly if you can set it up. Can vary in damage quite a bit depending on where the opponent gets hit by the cards, but overall this is a great damage engine super.

Gambit flips to the wall, then throws some Kinetic Cards into the ground, which explode into pillars of energy which cross the screen. Depending on which way you input the quarter-circle, Gambit will jump to the wall the motion ended on. (i.e., QCF jumps to the wall in front, QCB jumps to the wall behind) Slow to start up, but screen clearing and does pretty good damage for a level 1. As the startup is skipped in a DHC and Gambit recovers very quickly, this works very well as a safe DHC for swapping out.

Gambit holds up some glowing playing cards, then flings them across the screen. The hitbox going across the screen is invisible as the cards fly horizontally. On hit these hold the opponent in place for a while, allowing for conversions with the point character that would not be possible otherwise. Does excellent damage and allows for INCREDIBLE new combos and mixups. By far Gambit's best assist, and you should almost always be choosing it.

Gambit lunges forward and swipes quickly with his staff. A pretty mediocre assist, as it doesn't really add a whole lot to a team to use it, and card assist is just so, SO much better. Unless you have something really juicy in mind, stick to card assist.
