Late reply, I know, but yes! Certain characters seem to drop like a stone if choked while climbing onto the ledge. Pretty sure it would be worth cataloging who it works on and who it doesn't work on. I know for a fact it works on Donkey Kong, because I've done it to DKs more times than I can count.

Jab works as a follow-up on Sheik, Ike, and the Pits now.

That new jab... It's amazing the difference one frame makes.

Also, someone mentioned this:

I feel spoiled. We've gotten a buff in every patch. A new patch with no new Ganon buffs just feels wrong, man...!

In my personal experience, one of Ganon's best MUs, hands down, is Little Mac. The only thing Mac has over Ganon is speed and armored smashes. Ganon hits harder, recovers better, can edgeguard him effortlessly, Mac can't edgeguard Ganon at all, and he's the only character who can't even escape a...

I think this one might surprisingly be in Ganon's favor, but only slightly. While the Pikmin can give Ganon a hard time, Ganon can destroy Pikmin pretty easily, and outranges all but Olimar's smashes. Furthermore, Olimar's recovery leaves him a sitting duck against one of the game's best...

I feel you, brother, I'm the same way against Link. I know what to do, and if I really try I can pull it off, but eventually the tedium of a matchup like that gets to you and you start yelling "screw it" and going in harder than you should.

I've played a few Dededes. Play him myself as a secondary. He can be tough, but if you can condition him he becomes a cakewalk. Ganon has answers to most of Dedede's arsenal, it's just a matter of knowing what's coming. N-air those Gordos, abuse Flame Choke, space those aerials. If you know what...

I wouldn't say to pray for help 'cause you'll need it, but you do need to play extra careful and smart in this MU. I think that Opana vs ZeRo video was a pretty good demonstration of the match as a whole. Sheik holds it down, Ganon stays competitive with some well-placed single strikes, Sheik...

Hey man, I just wanted to say your Dedede guide on YouTube is absolutely amazing. I play Dedede as my #2 guy, and your videos have improved my results with him dramatically. I thought I was doing well enough with him already, but thanks to you I've been steamrolling people like never before...

Ganon dittos are fun, but they're so silly at times I dunno how much they work as a direct gauge of who has the better Ganon. It's basically a game of Chinese Hot Hands.

Your initial mistake is factoring in "most Ganons won't know". Many of them will, and that's important. No Ganon worth his salt is going to rush in, going full YOLO, just because he's being annoyed by needles. Baiting, punishing, and patience is our game. You're more likely to get a slower...

Eh, I don't think so. However, there was an article that noted how several of Ganon's attacks, animation wise, do reference quite a bit of stuff from previous games (TP mostly). http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/09/07/ganondorf-smash-bros/#ChangesAfterMelee While they're definitely reaching...

Dorf can do quite a bit, actually, though it's dependent on the strategies the Sheik player is using, rather than guaranteed, universal strategies. Find out what approaches they rely on most, and if they play more passively and aggressively. The easiest way we can score hits in this MU is when...
