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 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.

"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.

Normal Moves

Ground Normals

Light Punch

If only this was MvC1...

Damage	Startup	Active	Recovery	Guard
-	-	-	-	-
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

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

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

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

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

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
+

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
+

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
+

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
+

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
+

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
+

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 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.
