What's the best way to shield pressure with Ganon?

Yeah, that's pretty much the question. I've been realizing I need to make my opponents fear shielding more so that I can bait out more rolls or other reactions, cause otherwise they just stay comfortable in shield after I fair it and WD out and run away or something. Anything more I can be doing to make shielding a little scarier for people?

Tomahawk when they are expecting a fair. Free grab.

Ganon has jank shield pressure. You can do a spaced aerial to ftilt, multiple AC bairs, shield pokes with bair/dair, running through them with the uair so that the tippy spike hits then as you land (then ftilt), side-b shenanigans, etc. But nothing beats tomahawk.

Tomahawk is sick, but I've noticed in top level play that people start expecting the tomahawk after a while, what do you think about using Up-b as you come down from a SH but before you hit the ground? it's not the tomahawk they'd expect and it's not a shieldable aerial. Risky you think? Do you think it's still better to just go for waveland pivot grab tomahawk shenanagins?
