Smash Hero
Lots of people here are extremely worried about Ganondorf as a character. So bad that he shouldn't even be playable? I say, nonsense! Ganondorf might be a bit of a slow learner, but still a good character. Why, you ask?
Well, first, as various members have brought up, this is BRAWL Ganon. Not MELEE Ganon. You play him in a different way, and people have to get used to this. Understandable, of course, but at least try to find out his new way of gameplay before just plain saying 'omfg gann is teh crap'.
Next, his Forward B is possibly one of his new best moves. A DASHING GRAB. It slams your opponent to the ground as well. Shield against their get-up attack and try to grab them again, perhaps? Or when they roll, chase them? Or if possible, tech chase? The possibilities are seemingly endless. Not to mention that, in the air, Ganon grabs the opponent and takes him down with him. Ganoncide. Actual Ganondorf fans who took the time to actually think about how good Ganondorf COULD be know about this already.
Third, his upair still does the reverse spike. Sure, SHFFL'ing doesn't work the same, but this could still work in a different way. And with the dair spike, he still has two spikes left.
Fourth, bair can be canceled. Any Ganon player knows how awesome his bair is, me especially because the fair got nerfed in PAL version.
Fifth, a lot of attacks got changed a bit. Sure, not enough to completly save his metagame, but they might still be worked into it. We don't know, honestly. Since a lot of people don't even have this game yet, we have no idea how Ganondorf's metagame is gonna work out.
tl;dr version: Stop bashing Ganondorf. He will still be very good. Nobody knows since the game has only been out for a small while.
