Oh come on, you love it and you know you do. ;D
probably. usually i'll end up doing a down-tilt when i don't mean to because i don't hit Y hard enough. it just takes practice.
i've tried with some, like ZSS's d-air, but none give you as satisfying a result. (though try it with Ganon's f-air sometime...not at all effective, but interesting looking anyway.
)
Ok, you got me there. Thunder Storming sounds awesome, but every other word doesn't
I see.probably. usually i'll end up doing a down-tilt when i don't mean to because i don't hit Y hard enough. it just takes practice.

the reason it works so well with the thunder drop is because the move itself as absolutely NO LAG after it's completed. the reason the move lags is from Ganon's fall itself, or if you stop the move mid-animation.
i messed around with the Nair a bit...it works pretty well for just pulling off a couple of kicks right above the ground.
if you spam it like i do in the video, then inevitably you are going to get hit. the most important use i've found for this is: after doing the thunder drop, since there is hardly any lag afterwards you can roll left or right IMMEDIATELY after you land and your opponent will have to guess where you will be next. you can usually follow up with a spartan kick or a flame choke after they miss their next move.
Er... no? Changing the non-used shield button to jump is the only controller change that should even be considered for this, and it doesn't require you to completely relearn how to play. People play characters other than ganon, and they also play games other than brawl *cough*melee*cough* which don't allow them to change their controller configuration. Getting used to a button configuration that will only hurt them when they try to play anyone besides ganon is not something I would advocate in the slightest. Replacing a non-used shoulder button with jump requires absolutely no getting used to, except for actually using it when you want to perform your autocanceled dair or low flying aerial sideB (which is another added benefit you would gain from using a shoulder button to jump - doing aerial sideBs almost instantly). If you've already gotten used to it, that's fine. It's your preference. But extreme control setup changes should never be suggested unless the tech is truly impossible (or at least much less applicable) without some kind of reconfiguration. You can still get plenty of DI by short hopping with the control stick - ganon takes so long to jump that I have not had any trouble sh'ing then DIing toward the foe for almost the entirety of the jump. For those that want more control, then there's the shoulder button -> jump change that has a much less significant influence on the rest of your play, while also giving you much more control over your thunderstorms. There is no one "ultimate" way to thunderstorm, as there are numerous ways that will all yield the same result, each with varying degrees of difficulty and adjustment. Personally, I think that for the ease that your setup provides, the adjustment time is just too unnecessary when there are other solutions out there that require much less drastic changes.
