good **** gunblade, those were fun to watch.

3 things:

- work on punishing snake's landings more, it really helps in the MU

- after gerudo, you almost always want to jab against Snake... his rolls are just too big. Feel free to punish if you think he'll GUA or GU though, those are pretty punishable.

- never roll behind snake haha.



makke: that looks like something D3 would do lol... pretty cool

Yes you can buffer it, but its nothing any ganon need to add into the game because Lucas can air release and the window is tight
What makes lucas air release? I know it has something to do with pummeling, struggling out or the character's feet touching the ground? Or am I way off?

Ya done good, GB!

Given the circumstances, the only criticisms I have are what DLA covered. Don't get too comfy in the Snake MU though; not all Snake's play as aggressively as Fatal's. If you come across a Snake like Bizkit, Razer or MVD who have no problem pitching the tent, you gotta keep your mind on a swivel.

Releasing has to do with what buttons ur pushing while what directions your pressing while also at what time your breaking from a pummel, lame-man-terms, if your trying to break out by pressing jump, and you break before he pummels or in between his pummels, you'll normally jump release. It's alittle more technical then that, but thats the basic gist of it.

It also has to do with the height of the character, if there feet arnt touching the ground, they'll always air release as long as you don't let them break as your pummeling them.

I thought the video was pretty enjoyable. It made me appreciate the vertical hitbox of Dair.

I liked it. Not my type of music but definitely my type of Ganon. Lots of reads and tech chases... looking fresh. I can see Makke becoming the next Ganon to shine.

For the Gannon Boards, I wanted to post this

Tell me how's Dakpo's Gannon is
You, sir, is Ganonbanned for spelling "Gannon" in ALL your notations about Him.

About Dakpo's GANON, I think he's still unexperienced. Tried to do some cool stuff and got around well, but still lacks the foundations of a Ganon player.

He needs to explore the Gerudo better. It's such a nice tool in Ganon's asset and he underused it a lot.
As well as not overuse SHDair as he did. This can be troublesome against other players.
His Tipman notions are good, but he shouldn't waste his second jump as much as he did in those matches. There were deaths that could be avoided if he had the second jump to help the recovery.

That Diddy was very bad, tho'...

Yeah I really didn't like the diddy hehe, Dakpo's ganon was pretty good though. He was really good at catching bananas (which i'd expect from a ZSS main cuz suit pieces). Also I liked his edgeguarding. It's kinda hard to critique a Ganon vs. Diddy match unfortunately--the matchup is so banana-heavy that it doesn't leave a lot of Brawl to critique.

Try to stomp less, dash attack more (ganon's dash attack is even better than ZSS's), and do cool stuff out of side B.

In melee or brawl?

Well actually the answer to both is no lol. I have some good replays though.

yea... one of the reasons i hate MD/VA is because of its diversity....
