So now that we've all had a few months with Ganondorf in smash 4, I'm curious, how do you guys feel about his viability/tier list placement?
Without customs, I'd say Ganon is Low-to-Mid tier (low at worst, mid at best). I could list what makes Ganondorf good for several paragraphs, but what's really problematic to his viability are some of his terrible matchups against very common characters. Rosalina, Sheik, Villager, and ZSS are all top tiers and all horrible for Ganon to deal with. Regardless of how he performs against everyone else, having four common 3:7 matchups is just too much of an obstacle to get him past mid tier.
With customs however, Ganon improves immensely. Dark Fists is an amazing move, and combined with his other customs like Dropkick and Flame Chain, helps him a lot in his worst matchups and makes him even better in ones where he already performs well. It brings these nearly insurmountable 3:7 matchups to 4:6's at worst. With customs, I'd say he's definitely Mid Tier, and I think it's more likely that he's even High Tier.
