Ganon vs Cloud Matchup

[VenomCB]

Hello fellow Ganon mains, I have a question for you.

What can you do against Cloud?

I'm participating in the Cloud vs Ganon Discord crew battle that is happening tomorrow. I have a general idea on what to do against Cloud, and he doesn't give me that much trouble normally, but still. What things do you guys do against him or what things should I look out for in this match-up?

Stay within a safe zone from his aerial pressure game. Use safe moves out of shields and capitalize punishes. Try going for offstage gimps when you could.

If you didn't read it, M2K did talk about how to use capitalize on his poor recovery. Bottom line is, jump offstage and space yourself so that a DJ>Uair hits him, but nothing from him can hit you. From there it is just a mix-up game about when you'll attack, he has to air-dodge at that exact moment, as otherwise one just reacts to the airdodge and punishes him, because of that. A similar concept can be applied to other characters, as well

 

[Theosmeo]

Stay in shield all day, if he down throws you at low percent just go down and shield. If he limit side Bs spotdodge the last hit. Nair/Uair/Dair him offstage, try to get his limit recovery as well because it's easy to avoid and it's not invincible.

Uair and Bair out of shield and respect that he ALWAYS HAS FRAME ADVANTAGE

one of our worst MUs IMO
