Welcome to Gaia! ::

It's time to kick a** and chew bubble gum, AND I'M ALL OUT OF GUM!

Finished ganondorf guide. If the feedback is as good as on the last one, I'll open the thread.



Ganondorf
I’ve been looking forward to do this. Ganondorf is among the most underestimated characters in brawl, and one of my favourite things to do in any smash bros game was to kick a** with characters like him. He’s a very simple character, indeed. Let’s take a look at his attributes.
Power.

…

Yes, that’s it. EVERY SINGLE of Ganondorf’s moves has the potential to OWN you.
Well, I’m done fanboyizing. Let’s see some facts!

Neutral A: Ganondorf quickly pushes his arm forward. He probably hid a hand shocker as everything you touch will be electrified and pushed back. This is Ganondorf’s fastest move, and thus one of the most important. Use it when you’re cornered to get some air, after a roll or just to KO someone on high %.

Side Tilt: The famous youtube Sparta kick. It’s pretty fast for ganondorf standards, does 13% damage, and, of course, high knockback. The range is better than neutral A, so use it on enemies charging you.

Up Tilt: Ganondorf lifts his leg, charges for a few seconds, then shoots it down causing an explosion and death to your enemies. Has been improved from melee. It is now faster and it has a gust effect. Enemies in front of ganondorf will automatically be sucked towards him. Still, it’s a pretty occasional move and kinda awkward to have it as an up tilt.

Down Tilt: Ganondorf kneels and kicks in front of him. Another must. It’s almost as fast as the neutral A, but it has above average upwards knockback and can be used to get the enemy in place for a follow-up attack. Use it!

Side Smash: One of the strongest smashes in the game. It works like captain falcon’s (no, he’s not a clone you queers), but it’s a little slower and the slide trick doesn’t work.

Up Smash: Ganondorf kicks the air above him and brings death to annoying gliding pest. Hits in front and above of you. This is a KILLER move. Enemies around 70% are kicked into nirvana.

Down Smash: Ganondorf kicks the back, then the front. The second kick is stronger; the first kick will but the enemy in place for the second hit to connect and send him flying. Good damage if both kicks connect.

Neutral Air: Pretty much the same as falcon’s (I said STFU!). Comes out pretty fast, but it still sucks because the first hit doesn’t make the second connect.

Forward Air: Ganondorf deals a strong punch. HIGH knockback and HIGH damage. This will be your main finisher for airborne attacks.

Back Air: Ganondorf launches his arm backwards. Surprisingly fast. The knockback and range isn’t as good as the forward air, but it will help you break your enemies air attacks.

Up Air: Fast and powerful. Hits above, in front and behind you. This move is absolute top notch! Use it to rack up damage, finish off enemies trying to get back on stage, block any attacks from above and much more!

Down Air: Ganondorf switches the hand shocker to his feet and kicks downward. This move is death’s scythe. If you’re hit while you’re off the stage, you’re done for. This move doesn’t care about your percentage. You just die. Spike. From 0% and up. But that’s not it. It will also kill you on about 65% ON THE GROUND. This is the strongest and best spike in the game. No contest. Use it and stomp some a**!

Neutral Special: Warlock punch. This is the strongest move in the game. It kills from 30% on. It’s slow, but slow and steady wins the race, and this move is more than just steady. Now, if this isn’t enough pwnage to you, try reversing it. Break shields, steal KOs, piss off your friends and cause some havoc.

Side Special: This move inherits ganondorf’s might. He rushes forward. If you’re in his way, he’ll grab your head, lift you up and blast you into the ground with an explosion of dark power. But it gets even better. If he grabs you in the air, he’ll get a hold of your neck and just ram your goddamn head into the soil. This does more damage than the ground version, but there’s more. If you’re getting back to the stage and the enemy is waiting for you at the edge.. use it. You’ll grab the enemy and take him to death. You’ll go along with him, but eh. Note: There’s a risk in using this with 1 stock left. Both you and the enemy get killed at the same time, so there will be a sudden death after. The usual procedure is the enemy dashes towards you and runs into your Sparta kick or electro jab, but you never know when a projectile spammer shows up. If so, you’re kinda screwed.

Up Special: Dark dive. Ganondorf flies upwards doing a little spin. If you get near him, he’ll grab you, flow your body with electricity and then push you off. Kinda like Falcon. (NO!!!) Also, on the end of the move ganondorf will do a swift jab doing little damage and knockback, but it might just keep you from being hit after the main attack failed.

Down Special: Ganondorf envelopes his leg with dark power and rushes forward. Good range, good knockback. Useful for sudden death or enemies that are too happy about their projectiles.

Dash Attack: This is your surprise move. It has great knockback, do use it if your enemy won’t come close enough for other moves or is too nimble for your air moves to hit.

Grabs: All of ganondorf’s grabs have the expected high damage and knockback. The up throw launches the enemies way further than it probably should, make good use of it.

Final Smash: This move will freeze the bricks you shat in your pants after lasting so long against ganondorf. He transforms into his huge, ugly and insanely powerful beast pig ganon form. Anything near him at the time of transformation is knocked into the ground, left unable to move. Ganon will then whack the ground, stunning the remaining people, then do an insane rush across the entire stage, obliterating everything in his way. All that makes this one of the strongest Final smashes in the game, if not the very best.

Attributes: Ganondorf has a lot of slow moves, slow running speed and bad jump. Dropping speed is average, he’s a very heavy character, and his power is beyond any other character in the game.

Hints and Stuff: Run.
Oh wait, I’m supposed to give hints to ganondorf PLAYERS, right?
Ganondorf is not an easy character to play as. Unexperienced players will easily be beaten by faster characters. A good ganondorf player uses his fast and mid-speed moves a lot and places his strong moves accurately.

Gimmie a couple minutes to read it. I was out.

HAY WUT ABOUT ME.

UR SIG IS LUL

YES

Or did it?

People obviously don't see the humor in that.

OR DO THEY?

I am bored.
