I ****ing love ****.
Should we make a Ganon Crew for brawl?

I mean since there's wifi we could do crew battles over it.

If so I think "Vulgar Display of Power" would be a great name for it.

i'd love to be a part of a ganon crew... sick of everyone saying he's bottom tier and or the wordst char in the game. unfortunately i don't own a wii so i couldn't really participate in wifi matches as of yet. Given though i will rep ganon everywhere i go until he gets some friggin' respect

If it wasn't for the pure badassness of him, or the fact he's the second greaest villain ever(second to Sephiroth, highly debatable), or the fact I loved him in OoT and TP, I'd still love the guy for the frikin badass diafram-belly laugh he has in TP and Brawl.

I'm in, Ganon FTW

But, y'see, they're right.

And, I won't participate. Lag will really screw me over since I think I'm the only Ganon main in Europe right now.

why would a ganon main agree that ganon is the worst cahr in the game? i'd understand low tier but not bottom, cut the guy a break

Because it's true? Realizing your limitations will make you play much more defensive - "Oh, I can't hit him safely from this distance so I'll wait until he gets here."

But really, he only has a couple tricks up his sleeve whereas other characters have so much more. He has the Thunder Punch, the Flame Choke and it's combo's and a couple strong attacks. Ganondorf is just too slow to get anything off offensively, defensively he's hard to play because his grab range isn't good and spacing is much easier due to the floaty nature of the game. His recovery sucks and only goes into two directions (compare it to Fox who's Up+B can go into SIXTEEN directions) - forward and up, with forward and up B.

He is an okay character and REALLY fun to play as (which is I why I main the fellow) but when compared to a lot of other characters, he's nothing. His strength is comparable to Ike, but Ike's got the top because he has much more options, a lot more useable approaching moves, a better grab range, better recovery and a LOT more range on his attacks, something that Ganondorf really lacks.

Knowing the limitations of your character will make sure you don't overestimate your own and your character's abilities. If you think "Pfft, I can get him with my fair and kill 'im!" then try to do that and your opponent airdodges/sidesteps/rolls/any other defensive or evasive maneuver you will get punished.

tl;dr: He's slow, has low range, only a few good tricks when compared to other characters, recovery is still pretty bad, knowing your limitations won't make you overestimate yourself and fail.

Remember guys, even if Gimpyfish is really good with Bowser, it doesn't mean Bowser doesn't suck (In fact, Gimpy's the one who keeps persisting Bowser is really, really bad).

I thought people said that DK was the worst, even though I love him. But no way is Ganon the worst, he's pretty good if you ask me.

An online Ganon crew sounds pretty cool. We could see how everybody else is playing him and learn a few things.

P.S. Devy, you're pretty close to me, we should do some ganon dittos on wifi sometime

I agree with flying Dutchman. Ganon is average. But the advantage of acknowledging this fact is that you are able to understand your ganondorf much better and play as him much better. Gimpyfish realized his limitations with Bowser in Melee, which has improved his mind games and techniques.

Remember, Underestimation can be your worst enemy sometimes.


Anyways, I would join a Ganon club since I would be sticking with Ganon for a long time...

as for the flying dutchman and bizzarro flame... you've changed my mind on the topic. sucks to admit i was wrong but i see where you're coming from. ganon being a bottom tier char may actually help me play him as he should be played. Thanks for showing me the other side of the argument.

Heck with that id think Marth is bottom tier if it'd make me better with him.

On topic though a Ganon crew would be great and I would def try and be in it if not for
1. Ganon Dittos(?)
2. West, East and Central time/lag ( More on the Lag) diffrences.

if a ganon crew beat anything they need to never play the game again.
Renth is right...sadly. I mean think about it, all they would really have to do is be a ****load of Falco's and laser spam ALL DAY LONG, SHDL with Falco is a *****.

But also what I really meant is just a bunch of Ganon Players being in a crew. Doesn't mean we have to be Ganon for the crew battle(but I would think there would be alot of Ganons in the crew battle). I have a split main for Brawl. Dedede, Kirby, and Ganon. I took all the best things from my favorite characters from Melee/Brawl, and combined them.

Roy's Sword/Power
Ganon's Power/Heaviness
Peach's Projectiles
Jiggly's Multiple Jumps/Wall of Pain
Kirby's Multiple Jumps/Wall of Pain

You know what these all come up to?

Dedede.

and yes this was completely off topic.

whatever, Bobby Fischer

------------------------------

Ganon can hold up to spam attacks pretty well and hopefully deal the damage back to the spammer.

Once I just walked towards a spamming fox... haha... musta freaked him out. I walked up and dealed the same damage with my B right + a combo following up with a little aerial combat.

What are you talking about then?

I fail to see who you are talking about. Also the last part of the post wasn't even directed towards you (note the ------------------------------ meaning I'm done talking to you and am talking to the poster above me)

ANYWAYS...here's a quote that I said on a different forum.

"Yes I am a tourney*** and yes you all are scrubs, Deal with it.
ps: I have nothing against any of you but still, respect how we play, we've always been nice trying to help you guys get better, but ever since the invasion of scrubs at smashboards because of brawl, usual questions that would be answered politely are now answered "HAHA YOU SUCK", and guess when the people that say that joined. During 08', I wonder why?
You have fun the way you play, we have fun the way we play, respect us and we'll respect you. "

Well, let's stop kicking at rocks or at least picking on scrubs. Hurry and create a ganon crew please.

Btw: Any of you want to pit your ganondorf against mine online even though online is crappy at times? It's hard to find good competition these days.

I have disappointed you all..... I have been disqualified from smash wars (online tournament) even though I have won 2 sets of matches against Machuu and Hylian. I came back home late today, but I found out that there is only 20 mins left in the seed of the tournament so I could only play against 2 contenders and was required to play against 6 contenders.

Anyways, if you make it today Devilution, then you will have the honors of playing ganon ditto matches against me. Well, it would be an honor to play against you also.


(Ps: How do I create my own signature? I feel ashamed to ask this because I have been in www.smashboards.com for more than 3 years and haven't put up a good sig yet.)

Well, If you're talking about images, just go to edit signiture on your user cp and you'll find insert image somewhere on the tool bar. Click on it, and then paste your image link.

Interesting. I like the sig. I'm guessing that there was no more space for "flame" in the pic? That would've been nice if "flame" was also in there.. I will add on the sig when you officially make the crew.

I'd like to join your crew, but I'm already in a crew. There should be two seperate crews for smash. 1 for a specific character and 1 for the other stuff.

But don't listen to me fools. I'm insane, and I don't reason with fools, I just grease em.

So, anything going to happen?

I'll be willing to train myself with you guys online, or we can just go straight on ahead to challenging clans and whatever.

Ganondorf doesn't challenge clans! 'Challenge' implies there will actually be a fight. Where Ganondorf goes there is only massacre. :laugh:
