Ganondorf looks like crap.

Not necessarily aged so much as is older. It seems that Gerudo males are not only very long lived, but Ganondorf has the Triforce of Power and essentially gets older without getting weaker. It also explains why he just sits in his castle waiting for you to come rather than actually try to take over Hyrule again as he did in Ocarina (he wants to get all three Triforce pieces first).

Twilight Princess Ganondorf looks OLDER, but not OLD. (save for his alt costume) :)

But yeah, if you've played the last battle in TP, there is nothing more epic, not even OoT G-Dorf battle.

I think I like them both exactly the same. Old ganon was buffer, but new ganon has armor and a beard!

Oh no, you all are wrong. In melee he looked like crap. This time around he is a sexy beast.

he looks like he plays better now with his upgraded up b and super sweet over b. brawl is overall slower looking than melee anyway, thats why he looks slower. oh yea, and TP ganon is super special awesome!

Ya, i agree with DarkSpidy.
ganon def LOOKS better, but he is also def worse in a competive scene then he was in melee.


and my vote counts more then most, because im a completive player, who mains ganon, who has brawl... Im not saying you guys should belive me without trying him out for yourselves in a competive setting, just... be prepared.
you cant really mindgame yourself an approach anymore. not all of your attacks really have to hit the first time. any attempt to bait the other person will fail because every time you do an attack to try to draw them in, they have a full second to punish you.

This is the best Ganondorf model in my opinion. But really its only my opinion. I liked the way he presented himself in this version rather than the way he was presented in Twilight Princess. Both are excellent views of Ganondorf, I mean, there are some badass pix of Ganon in both, but, my preference is best explained in these youtube links

I like his movement animations and his look waaaaaaaaay better. I think his new animations are much more appropriate for his persona, character, appearance. and everything about him. Ganondorf Rules.

I love the fact that they used TP Ganon, because the concept is cool. I still liked the way he looked in melee though. In fact, I wish they had mixed the two together a bit. This new Ganon is just too fat for me... I mean look at him! Whenever I see him he just seems so round to me... And his Dair... Oh god, please bring back his old Dair...

he does look like crap, but he looked like crap in melee at first, at least for me, and then i got pretty good with him. wait until it comes out and then judge again is what i would say

He has a much better design now and it fits with his TP appearance, the run could use some work

His animations seem less like "I am the great king of evil, BUT IM GONNA FIGHT LIKE AN F ZERO RACER" and more "Time to die!"

I dont understand why they gave him more lag if there in no l-canceling.
And ganon does look at little homoish. Maybe it just takes time.

Ganon looks so stiff in the way he moves now. Part of the reason I liked playing him in melee was how he had that sort of slow dramatic extremely powerful effect.

ganondorf does look a lot worse (his gameplay ,not his actual looks). i dont think there will be many ganondorf mainers. between him and falcon, the vast majority are gonna go for falcon, hes a LOT faster and he has the knee (if thats a good enough reason :S). yeh ganondorf is more powerful, but i dont think that justifies choosing him over falcon.

I find it funny how people can criticize Ganondorf for his run but never Samus who runs the exact way (with her back straight as well)

ganon looks like theres a stick going down his back keeping him straight. his moves look like game and watches with minimal movement.

In brawl, you don't see Ganondorf run much.

I've found the best way to move across the ground when going from point A to point B, is with chaining dash attacks together, it makes you go much faster.

Other than that we have the fox-trot. (beginning dash animation chained together for mind-games and gently moving forward)
I've not run with Ganondorf for days now. Yes I have a japanese copy of Brawl at a friends house that I go to daily.

read my guide.

. . . .

Does EVERYONE have a friend with a japanese copy of Brawl? That's all I see now. "My friend got a copy of the japanese version and I play it at their house." With all these people with friends dedicated enough to Brawl to import, you'd think we'd see them on the boards.

I'm not trying to call you a liar. I just find this so bizarre. I never see one of these friends come online and go "yup, that's me. I'm this guy's friend and I have Brawl." Boggles my mind.
