Please leave comments!

Some of these replays were taken when I was just starting with Ganon so please don't say "This guys sucks" and move on. I'm a beastly ganon now and I'll fight ya to prove it :p

Needless to say there are some impressive moves in the video. Enjoy

Maybe that seems harsh, but jeez man, you started off the video with 40 of the most boring seconds of brawl footage I've seen...and then you DIE at the end of it...you didn't even get the kill! Most of the video wasn't even combos but single moves. That bowser clip stands out in my head. You missed every move you tried on him except for a few jabs and then a fair for the KO, but that hardly displays skill as a ganon, it rather showcases the weakness of the bowser insofar as he put himself in the same position to get hit by the fair even after you broadcast your plan to try to land an aerial on him near the edge.

...And that's the general feeling I got from the video. There wasn't any string of attacks that made me say "yep, that's a good Ganon" but rather a handful of clips of your opponents effing up and b-lining it for a big fat fist of unjustice to the face. By all rights most of those KOs you got could have and should have been avoided by your opponents punishing you in turn, but they just walked into them.

I apologize if this offends you, but in putting a video of yourself fighting on the internet, you're inviting - no, encouraging - people to dissect your play. You're asking to engage in the age old process of critique, the process of revelation, obviation, recognition, in hopes that you might glean something from people pointing out and explaining the shortcomings of your thinking and conversely share with you the ways in which your thinking is sound. Hopefully I've held up my end of the bargain.

Haha, I like how you assumed I'd be offended ><

I actually appreciate the criticism. One thing you should know, however, is no where in my post or in my vid did I describe it as a "combo" vid. It's just a compilation of a bunch of replays I had stored.

The first 40 seconds with the Up B's wasn't meant to display my skill, I just thought it was amusing and a nice way to start the video. You thought it was boring, but most other people I talked to said they laughed their ***es off.

And the Bowser clip did contain some subpar gameplay on both ends, but I included it because I thought it was cool that I racked up damage with a series of short jabs, rather than with a few big hits. It showed uncharacteristic quickness for Ganondorf. And BTW the Bowser is a guy by the name of Sil'fer, he's really one of the best brawlers I know. Bowser isn't his main though, which you may be able to tell.

Anyways, thanks for the critique. The video was meant mostly to entertain, because I haven't mastered Ganon yet by any stretch. I enjoyed editing it and I still enjoy watching it.
