Hello Ganon boards! My name is Junglefever and I help moderate the Smashboards Information Center. At the SIC, we are attempting to create a mentoring program for older and newer members to go to so that they can progress in their smash career on a more personal level than just SWF. Mentors communicate to their pupils through PMs and AIM, in addition to playing WIFI with each other. We believe that the Mentoring Program is a good addition along with the character boards to help members get better.

So what do i need from you guys? I need a couple volunteers from your character board that are willing to mentor pupils one on one and help them get better at their desired character.

For any interested, please PM me the character you are interested in mentoring in, and what exactly you can bring to the table. How long have you been a Ganon main? Do you go to tourneys? Do you have access to wifi? What achievements have you earned in your time smashing?

Thanks guys! Hope to hear back from you soon!

hi. I'm still alive. Been quite busy and I really don't come to SWF too often anymore. For my birthday I got a 360 with Oblivion and Red Dead Redemption (lmfao the dude at gamespot was surprised I was getting it, last time i went to the store I bought Pokemon Heart Gold. He even asked me, "Is this game for yourself?" loooooooooool)

360 tears the living **** out of the Wii, hands down. The Wii isn't coming out with any games I give a **** about, Brawl is a disaster,
Wii is only useful for homebrew
, and im done with Nintendo's catering to "causal" gamers while they have turned their backs on their true fans, and true gamers. Starfox series is dead, they pretend Earthbound/Mother never happened and the creator said he isnt making any new games, I seriously doubt Nintendo will ever top OOT Zelda wise so yeah, im done with their bull****. And losing interest with Brawl in general... also the fact I ended things with my boyfriend awhile ago and don't have anyone to do offline with doesn't help either.

Also this video sums up how I feel about them and pretty much GGs them:

360 online is AMAZING! You can speak with your friends while playing and there is no lag.

Add meh if u have a 360:

Fallout and Rockstar games are the quintessence of casual. You do know this, right?

But I agree with your general statement. Gaming in general nowadays is ****. I'm not one of the people who thinks companies should continually dish out rehashes of the same old series and am pissed that they're not. Rather, I'm one of the people who's pissed because gaming in general has become a big, worthless novelty with all focus on hyperrealism and aesthetics rather than wholly substantive qualities.

PK, knowing simply that you have eyes for me is more flattering than the eyes of all the women in the world.

btw, I have an important message in the techs and skills thread PhantomX handed me.

~

So I tested (harder) and I noticed that on Ganon's ftilt block, MK can actually roll behind and he's got as many as 5 frames advantage. Free Dsmash, I think.
(I mean, I think it's 5 because I was unable to see that Dsmash blocked.)

'cause he's got that fastest front roll, ends in like 19 or something. what the crap.


So **** everything I said back there. Ganon : MK is unwinnable.

The spaced dtilt is too impractical... and it doesn't satisfy the nice distance properties ftilt does, and the whole theory relied on.


****.

You couldn't even make it into a technical guessing game (one that's *technically* beatable if the opponent just has good eyes), with different ftilt spacings, because the range on Dsmash means he can always get that if he doesn't want the shieldgrab.

Your down to just.. standing there if he shields, 'cause he has to drop it. And ftilt still hits him in the air, although it's slower than any instant aerial from him. But if he drops it and backs up / dairs up ? You've got jack. Our slower than reaction game again.

So sorry for standing up Clai there, too. Sorry Clai. You are provisionally correct.


****, I really liked where that was going. But I've got other plans for v MK now, as I said.

It happens once every 10, 15 times. Never had problems with this and I've imported from play-asia several times! :(

Well... you can't Win forever... unless you main MK.
Ah, that's odd. Sorry to hear about that. You could always pay, get the controllers, and then use Ganon to win at tourneys and get your money back.

Wait, what? Lol, this whole time I was talking about perfect shielding everything your opponent does and make him pay for ever crossing Ganon's path, preferably with an Ftilt to the face. There are a lot of attacks that become a lot more manageable by perfect shielding them. That's how you play Ganon like a man (that, and making provisional use of FoG, taunting, crouch walking, Utilt and Warlock Punch).

I have Warlock Punched people in tournament, and it's so, so satisying. Just purple **** consuming your opponent while Ganondorf laughs at his/her/its fate.

I don't know what I'd do if I played a game against a Ganon constantly FoGing like in that video, I'd be frozen from awe and fear. Luckily DLA only uses FoG sparingly.

I watched it. I doubt Ganon will be in it though. As a LoZ fan, I want them to take break from Ganon so that they don't screw him up like Bowser. As a Ganon fan, I want to see him be awesome. in this game.

I wish Zant was the bad guy in TP. It's ******** how they made him out to be a complete mysterious bada** in the beginning and then suddenly made him a childish weirdo at the end. Ganon could've been skipped in TP and Zant could've been the main bad guy if they kept his original personality.

Yeah.

The more I think about TP, the more the ending aggravates me. That's bad.


(side point: I actually like how the final four forms had the relative difficulties that they did. It makes sense that, first, Ganon would try that first tactic to avoid a fight... then show off power in a brute sense... THEN go all out; and once he was bested there, he was beaten, but could not stand to give up (hence the monologuing) and resorted to his last. And the more I think about it, I do like how the third fight is difficult inasmuch as it's just so out of your control. I just wish form 2 was technically tougher and form 4 was more "holy **** holy **** holy **** drop your controller and have nightmares" threatening.)


The fact they put in Ganondorf, and did a lot to make his scenes dramatic... but there wasn't really a reason, a necessity, for him to be there... that's aggravating.

I don't mind so much the heel face turn on Zant. When you look at TP, you realize though this couldn't have been a game with a different boss like MM, or the ones with Vaati. All its aesthetics point to Ganon... mostly because of Zelda (when you have Zelda a major player in the events, you have to complete the triplet, right?) But then you see at the end, and it proves Development obviously... couldn't completely get him in there. But they put him in anyway because they knew the game is riding on it.

So it's a lack of respect for Excellence that's upsetting.


I think I said this before, but I love the LoZ series since OoT where it casts Link, Zelda, and Ganon as the "fated trio" they are. You see it in that ending scene when Link stabs Ganon, and the three are just standing there, silhouetted in the dusty field. The three can't escape each other. Even though every Link is a different hero, and every Zelda has the same name only by Hyrulean royal tradition, while there has only been one Ganondorf... their fates are as tied as the three in one composition of the Triforce.

So, when the game uses a scene like that last one, but doesn't do anything else plotwise to build up that connection, rather just "cashing out" on the awesomeness of the trope, I feel cheated. It's a cheat.

Right. I just hope they seriously rethink how they use Ganon (or how they let Ganon use them, to be more accurate, haha), because I want him to be completely awesome, and necessary, in the next game he's in. I want his presence to be felt throughout the game, not just toward the end. Nevertheless, I'm excited for this upcoming game. I think it's going to be awesome.

Ganon is so god tier that he breaks programming rules in order to fly.
Soon Ganon is going to start breaking even more programming rules to have less lag on his attacks and have better range as well. Soon Ganon will be as quick as MK and have Ike range while still maintaining his power, due to his godlike program hacking.

Nope, nope, it's still Ganon here for me. Vermanubis is the only other player maintaining Ganon in tournaments now?

And me, but I suck so much that It doesn't make a difference at all.
