How bad is gannondorf

[Waluigi is too big]

I know gannondorf is bottom teir in brawl, but how bad is he compared to everyone else. It is kinda a shame really, I really like playing as him.

 

[NickRiddle]

Very .

 

[Seibu]

Quite. But, in his defense, he can still be very fun to play as. At least, by my notion.

 

[RunawayPanda]

Fun to play as, really fun to win as
p.s. you're not gonna win

 

[Gatlin]

He's pretty bad; but if you really like playing as him, that shouldn't be reason alone to stop you if you're enjoying yourself.

Is Zelda actually worse than Ganondorf? I heard this idea being tossed around a few times and it sounds like Zelda might be considered worse than Ganon by more than a few people.

 

[Booster]

The nicest thing I can say about him is that he sucks balls. Everything about him was done poorly, if it wasn't for mods like Brawl Minus and the Triforce Ganondorf, he would have no reason to exist in Smash

 

[PlazmaFett]

hes the only character iv ever successfully three stocked competitively and hes also the only one iv ever turned a chain grab around on.

He is okay on Free for alls honestly. But 1V1.....not so much

You can't beat what you can't hit.

He's the best. You can't counter a Spartan kick or a Ganon stomp. There's just too much man to deal with. The man will literally stomp on your neck to spike you. He's the best.

ah...ha...ha...
kinda used all my character hype on falcon, whatever little of it i had in the first place.

From a non-pro perspective, he's okay in vanilla Brawl... but in BALANCED Brawl he's pretty awesome.

They gave him all these nice little buffs. He's invincible for part of Wizard's Foot. He has super armor (i.e. he can't/won't flinch) for the sparta kick, and the ganondorf falcon punch. His Down Tilt kick always trips the opponent (making for good combos), and his Up Tilt (the slam-down with his foot that he charges up) is slightly more powerful and the wind does a little bit of damage and has slightly more suction/vacuum.

Also, his pummel (pressing A while you do a grab) is darkness element now and does 5% damage making it the strongest in the game, and his throws are a tad more powerful. Also probably other little things.

The important part about Balanced Brawl is the massive reduction to his landing lag that makes his air game much better.

But as for Brawl? Ganondorf is this bad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCRvdXEQFqU
Or this bad [round 6 is a good example]: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A7ixkyY9lZ4

You can certainly play as him for fun, but don't expect to win any tournaments with him (I'm pretty sure exactly one real tournament has been won with him, by a player named Fonz).

 

[AbbiDood]

Ganon is pretty terrible, but I disagree with him being the worst in the game. I think the current (or rather, the newest one I could find which is this one http://www.ssbwiki.com/Japanese_tier_list ) Japanese Tier List for Brawl has a way more accurate representation of how the worst characters in the game should be ranked.

I think they removed most if not all chain grabs in B-Brawl

 

[Danny of AD 1]

i honestly think hes better than bowser falco luigi wolf and olimar all 6 of these characters are in the bottom but falco and olimar are especially bad and falco the worst because falcos blaster is extremely ****ty and hes too hard to play

 

[Tabernacle]

I honestly think Zelda is a tad worse.

Playing as Ganondorf in Brawl is like dropping out of high school. You had a lot of potential, you threw it all away, and now you have a terrible uphill battle to fight.

 

[Trieste SP]

As a ganon main during the majority of Brawl (Switched to Snake towards the end) he's terrible. His moveset is pretty much laggy and unsafe. Not to mention he was as slow as molasses. It was dreadful.

I kept him as my main cause every time you manage to hit someone, it felt sooo satisfying. I didn't care what the tier lists said about him, I stuck with him till the end

 

[LunarWingCloud]

At least Brawl is the only game he is truly terrible in.
