How to deal with Projectiles?!

[KingPinGamez]

We made a video explaining how to deal with projectiles as Ganondorf (or characters with very few approach options) as many people seemed to have issues with this.
If you like the video, subrscribe and like it, and feel free to comment or reply here to suggest what to improve on.
We gladly take requests to post videos explaining other specific situations!

EDIT: Added the new video regarding Edge Guarding!

I believe all videos should be posted here.

@ Exalted : Under literally any other circumstance, you'd be right, my dude. Not that you aren't in this one, but for now, I'mma let this thread sit for a while to let it get some exposure. Videos get buried too quickly in the video thread, so I'll let this one breathe for now.

Of course, the reason being it's actually informative and not just one of us showing off. I'll still archive it in the video thread at some point though.

 

[KingPinGamez]

Thank you for understanding.

I will place it in the correct thread next time.

That's just all sorts of awesome actually. I need to work on perfect shielding. @_@

I use these techniques... but playing against Link is so annoying.

Because the rate of incoming projectiles varies if the Link user is going to spam a boomerang + bow or bombs etc.

this comes down to training and knowing your opponent. Link is one of the easiest matchups if they spam because all you have to do is get in their face and shield. They will attempt to smash or use an unsafe move, which means you can shield and punish with a nice tilt or such.

Exactly right. 100%.

What if the Link knows how to chain when next to you when you shield once you've run the gauntlet of spam projectiles?

do you mean grab? Spot dodge. All Link's moves are slow, including his grab, which gves Ganon ample time to punish.

I have a video here with more on edge guarding!

Again I've wanted to throw my controller at the screen several times because Ganon's shield takes an eternity to pop up and his spot dodge seems like it's useless. If I wait a half second longer to spot dodge it won't do it period.

I take great pleasure in timing spot dodges and when Diddy or Cap are 3-5 feet away and I spot dodge their grab and they still grab me I get annoyed.

Should I make a video on how to spot dodge?
