Warlock Punch is removed and replaced with Dead Man's Volley. Ganondorf is otherwise exactly the same. No reflector, no trident no other changes. Just a projectile instead of Warlock Punch. That's the set up, my question for you is, how should that projectile work and what function should it have in his moveset? I see three obvious options.
1. Shadow Ball. Make it a charging projectile you can store that deals high knockback. Fitting in with Ganondorf's other moves.
2.Flare. A super powerful attack like Sephiroth's flare, but a projectile without any actual range (at the highest level). Fitting with Ganondorf's devastating 1hit kill potential attacks.
3.Paralyzer. A high windup, short range projectile that briefly stuns opponents, like Zero Suit Samus's neutral special. This leaves enemies open to Ganondorf's devastating normals. This would also be the most authentic version of the attack as Ganondorf's projectiles are usually pretty basic attacks, not massively powerful stuff.
My fourth idea is a more creative one based on his multi shot variation. Again, it's a charge up attack, only instead of one powerful projectile like Shadow Ball or Charge Shot, Ganondorf shoots multiple lightning balls, only in different directions, arcing out from him. A bit like this
These projectiles would actually be pretty weak and would mostly be used for spacing. It would be an esoteric attack for smash in general, and particularly for Ganondorf, but it could work pretty well. Maybe the range would have to be low to stop it from being spammy (though hopefully requiring a charge would prevent that to begin with).
Which of these ideas do you think would work the best and what way would you like to see Dead Man's Volley implemented (assuming everything else about Ganondorf remains the same).
