They gave him a dumb run because in the zelda games, GANON DOESN'T RUN.

So the animation is a punishment for breaking the Ganon canon lolz.

But seriously, with >B and VB, why do you need to run? His walk covers distance safely, since you can immediately Ftilt, Dtilt, smash, >B or VB.

Let Ganon appeal to the lazy bum in all of us. Why run when you can look cool walking?

Like Bowser's run in Melee? ^^

That thing is awesome, lol.

And although I hate Ganon's run in Brawl, I can't help but respect it for the level of badassery it tries to convey. I mean, you've got this self-proclaimed-king-of-evil-triforce-of-power-giant-near-possessed-warrior
guy, and instead of mad rushing you, he just slowly advances his way forward, staring you down all the time.

If that was in real life, it'd scare the crap outta me :laugh:
