's got the right idea
Any of them. Ganon loses hard any way. You can choose bigger ones if you want to turnip camp. You can choose smaller ones if you want to play aggressively. They're CP of choice would probably be Yoshi's. I got top platform camped by a Ganon on BF somewhat effectively once, but I don't think it's a winning strategy.
ganons will try to camp top plat on DL and less frequently on BF, but you can counter by keeping below the side plats and uthrowing turnips to harass them. ganon has a hard time catching items (he has to let them bounce off his sheild to recatch in some cases) and his throw speed/damage is slightly worse than the rest of the cast. be careful when you pull, he can reach you faster than you think with wavelands
imo treat it like the marth matchup and be sure you can move around freely to pull turnips without being stuck on a platform and attacked from below. PS is an ok choice, FD should also be a good stage. just don't let them take you to YS
Ganon is a difficult matchup for me as well because it tends towards a certain playstyle I don't like. I have to camp more (and constantly remind myself Ganon has no projectile lol). I have to stay away from almost all trades. I have to have self-control and know when extending a combo further is too risky so I can GTFO before I get faired. Whenever I play Ganon now, I'm very aware of stage position. I know most of my kills come off edge-guarding, so while I try to go ham when he's in shield, I also apply pressure via stage position and turnips in a way that leads to edge guarding. And I believe Ganon is definitely one of the easiest characters to edge-guard.
He's sneaky quick with his waveland shenanigans. With turnips he should have to be the one to approach you, it's similar to a lot of other matchups but this is the one matchup where trading is probably really bad, so you have to pick your spots better. If he comes at you directly with a falling aerial don't be afraid to dash dance away and get some space. Similar to Marth dash attack can clip is feet while in the air, which should lead to a really good punish. Like DoH said at the beginning of the thread, once you get in keep applying pressure until you can push him offstage. Make sure your float cancels are on point because for the most part it's a really quick option against a really slow and committal character.
