Iconic for good and bad, but it is not well-rounded in the slightest. Because his moveset is still largely a clone of Falcon's and he's a heavyweight of a bygone era, he's essentially a rushdown heavyweight glass cannon, which all contradict each other. That rushdown and glass cannon part of his...

And pray tell, why should the last-minute Captain Falcon clone in Melee have to stick to that design and forgo a rework?

One of the benefits (and detriments) of only maining Ganondorf: it's all uphill from here

I know, right? And to think simple yet ridiculous ideas like this can add soooooo much flavor to a moveset. If only Ganondorf's kit had more flavor than just POWER (Granted, stuff like his various combos, Flame Choke tech chases, Wizkick and u-smash ledge cancels, and so forth are nice...

Not a bad idea. You want to know a crazier idea? Just make his current nair reflect. It's insane, but while reading through the other thread, this image popped into my head: Take Ganondorf's two kicks, Nair1 and Nair2, and if there's a projectile coming from the front, Nair1 will stop the...

As awful as the Zelda timeline is, it justifies why TP Ganondorf is basically just a continuation of OoT without any of the character examination WW brought up. It makes sense that the Ganondorf who took a piece of the Triforce and conquered Hyrule, only to be beat down once by the Hero of Time...

Oh, that's a spicy take if I've ever seen one, though I believe that's not the most incredulous idea ever uttered. Ganondorf was conceived as the origin of Ganon, which was just a pig demon that wants the Triforce. While plenty can be inferred and theorized from Ocarina of Time, Twilight...

He doesn't have a fleshed-out niche because his moveset is largely stuck in Melee: We know he was a last-minute addition, possible due to putting Falcon's moves on there, largely distinguished by their slower frame data, higher damage and knockback, and adjusted knockback angles and properties...

I appreciate the direction they've gone for both of them, but I've played way too much Ganondorf in order to play/enjoy them in practice. Bowser's moves on average don't sound or feel as good, and I need to put in effort if I want to get a grasp on DK's aerials and grab game.

When I was coming up with my moveset, I debated about what kind of reflector would be the most fitting for his design. While having him reflect projectiles in the air would be a direct reference to Ocarina of Time, I thought it would be better to keep his reflector grounded in his jab to...

I like several of the ideas here, some more than others: The dash animation is what I think about for Ganondorf, I can respect the trident use (though I opted for melee, magic, trident, and sword moves in total to express the full scope of the Demon King). For alternate costumes, I'd rather we...

It really would complete him to have a recovery and a way to punish zoning, because his whole gameplan is around getting into the opponent's space and punishing their mistakes accordingly. Can't do that if projectile spam keeps you a mile away, and you can't have that many opportunities to get...

His old u-smash would function much more like a traditional anti-air tilt, which isn't very exciting. However, it wouldn't be useless, as his current u-smash is pretty slow, and his old u-smash as a tilt would be analogous to Snake's, which is a really good move. If it were on his current kit...

Volcano Kick is niche in the way that is very rarely does more than most other moves. If this were Melee, with weaker recoveries across the board, Volcano Kick would be better (I'd make it spike, since you'd then add a meteor smash sound, even if it makes it work a tiny bit more than Captain...

Right, playing Ganondorf for hundreds of hours makes most of his kit feel satisfying to use, which I tried to incorporate in the hypothetical move-set. Whether it would be successful or not is debatable, since making his kit even more broken might just break the fun we have playing the...
