His SideB (cross) has very little priority and gets easily clanked even by simple jabs
NeutralB (axe) has more priority, but many attacks can still outprioritize it (especially the swordfighters' disjointed attacks)
DownB (holy water) hugs the ground and has transcendent priority, so projectiles will simply go through it
edit:
Also my boy G&W easily crouches under some of Simon's attacks (Cross, FAir and BAir that isn't angled downwards, FTilt, and FSmash up close) and even his grab
edit 2:
also his vertical recovery is kinda sucky, a good enough spike can make quick work of him
(and my boy G&W can be pretty damn good at it, BAir -> FAir might aswell be his bread & butter)Also
always expect a cross at the start of a match and after respawns.
