So, I figured since no one had done a stage chart yet, let alone for Ganondorf, I figured I'd throw something together. As many of you know, using Ganondorf requires you to know EVERYTHING about yourself, your opponent and, of course, your stage. Ganon's good stages are common knowledge, but these good stages are also shared with other characters whose advantages may surpass that of Ganon's. Brinstar for instance. By far Ganon's best counterpick stage. Despite that, it's a place you'd never, ever pick against DK. So, I figured it'd be a neat idea to shed some specific light on where Ganon excels and under what circumstances. I want to emphasize though, that a, let's say, bright green rating on Battlefield against Yoshi does by no means stand to imply the match-up becomes significantly easier. For example, Battlefield is bright green pnly because Yoshi can't grab-release Ganon there and is impeded by the platforms. So bear that in mind.
This is by no means a finished product. While through my personal experience, I believe the chart is holistically accurate, I'm fully aware that it is only about 65-70% so. There are some "guess-work" parts in there which were put in merely to give a general idea of the stage match-up. Over time, we can get this completed with the input of other players, God willing.
If you can't see the legend, it goes:
Bright green - Excellent. The stage both benefits Ganondorf and hurts the opponent.
Green - Good. This stage either hurts the opponent or benefits Ganon mildly.
Yellow - Neutral. The benefits on both sides are even.
Orange - Bad. This stage either hurts Ganondorf or benefits the opponent mildly.
Bright red - Terrible. This stage both hurts Ganondorf and benefits the opponent greatly.
Dark red - Ungodly. Unless God himself intervenes, it is nearly impossible to win on this stage.
