A lot of people seem to say that, but no one's naming a specific character who is worse and offering an explanation as to why they are worse/why Ganon is better than that character.I agree with most (if not all) of the counter statements. Ganon is really bad, but not the worst. :D
Name me how Captain Falcon is better than Ganon?A lot of people seem to say that, but no one's naming a specific character who is worse and offering an explanation as to why they are worse/why Ganon is better than that character.
- More vertical defense (about the same horizontal).Name me how Captain Falcon is better than Ganon?
With what move(s)? USmash, DAir, FSmash, FAir sweetspotted and maybe BAir? Yeah, only 3 of his moves KO successfully that early (excluding UTilt, and Warlord Punch), and above that, he has a tough time landing them on his opponent.The thing is, Ganondorf only needs to hit six times in order to KO his opponent.
F-tilt too. If you're playing defense right it shouldn't be that hard to land these.- More vertical defense (about the same horizontal).
How so? Excluding Falcon's, what, 2 frame faster jump, our u-air has more priority and more reach, while our u-smash is only 4 frames slower than Falcon's u-tilt and 1 frame faster than his u-smash. Personally I haven't had any problem with vertical defense, in fact most of my opponents are scared out of their mind to go above me.
- His ground speed is about 4 to 5 times faster than ours.
Yahoo, our power is about 4 to 5 times higher than his.
- Air mobility.
Mostly due to his speed, other than that, not much better than ours.
- His DSmash, USmash, FAir and NAir kill faster than ours.
The 4 frames slower d-smash I'll give you. U-smash, where are your facts to back that up? If anything our u-smash kills at just the same percents if not higher, and has useful IASA to make it safe in most circumstances. The knee is probably the hardest sweetspot to land in this game, and it's kill potential honestly isn't that much higher than a sweetspotted f-air (which is much easier to land by the way,) not to mention that knee is only 2 frames faster than our crush punch. Hell, I don't know about n-air. All I know is the difference isn't that great.
- ALL his moves come out faster.
No, just no. All of his aerials come out at the exact same frame Ganon's do, with the exception of knee which is 2 frames faster. His f-smash comes out faster, but is actually slower on recovery. D-tilt has the same start up, our u-smash is ver slightly faster and has better recovery, our d-smash is faster (yippee,) our f-tilt is slower by one frame and is overall a much better move, oh and our side b is actually 5 frames faster than falcon's.
- Has a better grab range.
- Don't tell me that he has a tough time killing his opponent. From what I know, Ganon can barely ever land moves on anyone. Captain Falcon's BAir, for example, comes out almost right away, faster than Ganondorfs, and has about the same power with less lag.
Falcon has an extremely tough time KOing his opponent. Falcon's b-air comes out on the same frame, and has less killing power. I've killed people with b-air when they were hat 80%, a Ganondorf too so they were heavy. Falcon's KOs are all situational and not until very high percents or off stage.
- Better recovery.
By a fractional margin. If falcon misses the hump on the way up when trying to recover against a ledge hogging opponent, he's usually dead. Ganons has better vertical reach too.
- UP-b has hitstun, unlike ours.
- He could actually punish out of shield, unlike Ganon. (Jab comes out at frame 2-3).
- Easier time getting around his opponent.
This is an extremely abstract argument.
- Easier time juggly them.
How? Ganon does really well at juggling from what I've experienced. Falcon is beat by any airdodge.
- Doesn't have a blindspot above him. (Utilt.)
I've explained this already.

Ganon's and Falcon's Uair are both pretty great.while our (ganon) u-smash is only 4 frames slower than Falcon's u-tilt and 1 frame faster than his u-smash
I can't agree. Falcon's very fast and flexible in the air. His jumps are nice, his aerials are relatively quick/don't have severe landing lag.(Falcon's air mobility) Mostly due to his speed, other than that, not much better than ours.
Firstly, Ray Kalm. Usmash isn't that great of a kill move, and Nair doesn't kill often either (since it's a frequent approach).- His DSmash, USmash, FAir and NAir kill faster than ours.
U-smash, where are your facts to back that up? The knee is probably the hardest sweetspot to land in this game, and it's kill potential honestly isn't that much higher than a sweetspotted f-air (which is much easier to land by the way,) not to mention that knee is only 2 frames faster than our crush punch.
While i'm not defending Ray Kalm's exaggerated, claim, you should acknowledge that Falcon's Dsmash doesn't hit an opponent into the second kick. One hit sends an opponent away, where as Ganon's Clumsy Kicks sometimes only hits once with the low knockback hit, putting Ganon in a bad place. I'd say Falcon's Dsmash is far more useful than Ganon's.D-tilt has the same start up, our u-smash is ver slightly faster and has better recovery, our d-smash is faster (yippee,)
This is the truth. Although I will point out that because Falcon isn't nearly as tall as Ganon, his Bair has less trouble hitting people.Falcon has an extremely tough time KOing his opponent. Falcon's KOs are all situational and not until very high percents or off stage.
Falcon has significantly better recovery than Ganon. Falcon's upB has a tremendous amount of mobility and can change directions on the fly. He seems to slide around a ledge easily with it, making it easy to warp onto the stage if he's being ledgehogged. Plus, his jump's are nicer too. With an air jump, i'd wager Falcon's vertical recovery rivals Ganon's, but I have no hard data.(Falcon has better recovery) By a fractional margin. If falcon misses the hump on the way up when trying to recover against a ledge hogging opponent, he's usually dead. Ganons has better vertical reach too.
Hyrus, you will never hear a Ganon main call our Dsmash good. It is an awful move, pure and simple. Swoops was joking the second he even mentioned our Dsmash.While i'm not defending Ray Kalm's exaggerated, claim, you should acknowledge that Falcon's Dsmash doesn't hit an opponent into the second kick.

Aye. Meself and Bloodydorf shall lurk the Zelda boards."Ganon sucks" threads make me sad. Me and Smurfydorf will be lurking at the Lucas Boards for awhile lol
I use red to intimidate :O...and when I'm slightly irritated lol.The red! It burns!
Ganon's and Falcon's Uair are both pretty great.
Falcon's Utilt and Usmash have lasting hitboxes, which is where I feel they are both superior to Ganon's Usmash. Utilt also moves Falcon forward a bit, while Falcon can get a nice slide out of his Usmash.
I can't agree. Falcon's very fast and flexible in the air. His jumps are nice, his aerials are relatively quick/don't have severe landing lag.
Firstly, Ray Kalm. Usmash isn't that great of a kill move, and Nair doesn't kill often either (since it's a frequent approach).
Secondly, Swoops. The Knee of Justice is probably one of the easiest sweetspoters to land in Brawl once you feel it out (though it isn't a typical approach). It's significantly harder to reliably hit with Zelda's, Mario/Dk's Fair, several Dairs, etc. The Knee also has a persistent hitbox that "flubs", which makes for a potential gimping tool and can trip a grounded opponent into an easy combo.

The real argument in Ganon Vs Falcon comes down to this.
Falcon has a few approach options, decent recovery and even gets use out of his Neutral B, but ultimately lacks priority and has lackluster pressure on opponents. Ganon has great damage and KO power, some ridiculous punishing moves, but his crippled mobility, lackluster recovery and absent pressure/approach game hold him back. Both characters are punished easily, through Ganon's lag and Falcon's low priority.
The major reason i'd say Falcon might have anything over Ganon is his speed. Where Ganon doesn't deal well with foes in his personal space, Falcon has a few options and can mindgame a bit better with his mobility.
Ganon has three auto cancelled aerials, his nair has minimal lag, and his fair is safe on block a fair amount of the time whereas CF's fair is not.I can't agree. Falcon's very fast and flexible in the air. His jumps are nice, his aerials are relatively quick/don't have severe landing lag.

I too, found that pretty funny..Lol at you claiming that Zelda's sweetspots are hard to land
I'm not betraying anyone. I'm just stating the truth.You traitor. Trying to put Ganon at the bottom... I should Warlock Punch you for that.
As far as I can tell, the main purpose of this thread was to convince everyone that Ganondorf should be lower than he already is. And it's even coming from a Ganon main. Ergo, betrayal.I'm not betraying anyone. I'm just stating the truth.
Well, I had basically just awoke after being sick all day, and when I saw my visitors message, I wasn't going to deny a promised challenge.Ganon is at the bottom. I don't know why people are trying to cloud that. You shouldn't be picking him to win tournaments. Fun games btw, Kalm. Also what was with that :-/ in your message, I feel like I offended you or something.
That's got to be the greatest statement i've ever heardIf you main Meta Knight or Snake, your voice is lost in the multitude. You're not really unique.
If you main Ganon, your voice carries farther. You are one of the few, the proud...the Ganons. :D
And this is coming from a guy with 3 posts. SWF is really starting to look up nowadays.That's got to be the greatest statement i've ever heard
like I love link
people give me **** because but i jus twant to be original
i honestly think snake can take a little more skill
if you don't camp and throw grenades and when they get in close just use your tilts.
and if you'd pla y alittle more tactical
but not many people do
My sensei plays with ganon dorf
he got second place at otronicon in orlando florida in january only using him and Cfalcon
it really doesn't matter as long as you play with who you want to play
Fixed. hahahah!If you main Meta Knight or Snake, your voice is lost in the multitude. You're not really unique.
If you main Ganon, your voice carries farther. You are one of the few, the proud, the weak...the Ganons. :D
Provided you know your characters' limitations, sure. For example, getting second in a tourny with just those two is really impressive, but if you go in there thinking "Ganon **** no matter what!" it just won't work unless you're MUCH better at the game than everyone else and/or they are clueless about the matchups.That's got to be the greatest statement i've ever heard

There are fluctuations that are hard to pin down at low low level play, for sure.Provided you know your characters' limitations, sure.

Not sure I agree with Snake taking more skill than Link or Ganon though... He has a somewhat high learning curve, but still...
And playing Ganon makes your balls get HUGE!Snake is easy to learn but hard to master.
Ganon is hard to learn and hard to master.
Yea, if you fight IC or Falco, that is.And playing Ganon makes your balls get HUGE!
Watch as you get hit for 50% straight combo.Fixed. hahahah!
I almost Sig'd this. :DAnd playing Ganon makes your balls get HUGE!
Snake is only hard to master if you wanna be flashy. :/Snake is easy to learn but hard to master.
Ganon is hard to learn and hard to master.
I want to see this alleged tier list. There's no way he's a tier behind Captain Falcon, who I believe is a worse character than Ganondorf. Bah, people are just not giving the old man enough credit (and yes, I do see that rooting for a character to be the second worst in the game to be a bit sad, but really, Captain Falcon is just terrible).Japanese tier list has it right: Ganon in his own tier at the very bottom.
