Q&A How to Wreck *****es with Ganon?- Linguini Q&A Thread

[Bl@ckChris]

ok pb&j. i think i can do even better than i did against you at rom4 in those friendlies. i'll be sure to find you.

 

[PB&J]

Im looking forward to it,i want to play you way more this time,i think we only played like 4 or 5 matches,i think you really know how good some one is if you play them for at least 30 minutes which should be a min of 10 games,but thats just the way i like to play friendlies

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

Happy Holidays, my fellow Ganondorf mains. There's a special place in my heart for all of you. (:

Which one is Kage?

 

[RaphaelRobo]

Kage isn't in that picture. You can tell because none of them have green clothing.

 

[RaphaelRobo]

I'm having some friends over to play Melee today, so I'd appreciate it if you guys could critique my Ganon while I'm playing. I'll be streaming it at http://www.twitch.tv/raphaelrobo

 

[Divinokage]

Smash at 11 am? That's pretty early lol, can't watch though, at work.

 

[RaphaelRobo]

Last time we started at 2 and it went until 9, so I decided to start a bit earlier. Anyway, I'm not on the stream at the moment, but earlier I was 4 stocking people with Ganon and 2 stocking with Kirby. I messed around a bit using Olimar, but the Brawl TV isn't being recoreded.

You got to make L-cancelling become second nature. Until it does, Ganon, and for that matter any character, is not going to amount to just a whole lot. And you gotta get a little speed in there. Placing your back airs is important as well. You tended to just throw them in the direction of your opponent, at a level that auto-cancels it. You gotta be able to drop it low on the ground and L-cancel it at will.

I gathered all this from the 2 minutes I watched.

 

[RaphaelRobo]

Are you sure you were watching me play Ganon and not someone else? I L-cancel all my attacks. You're right that I should be moving more, though.

I'll keep what you said in mind about L-cancelling Bairs.

Well, it was first player and the other Ganon did nothing for Fsmash. I assume that you were the one who actually used aerials.

And yeah, well you're L-cancelling some, but you miss a considerable amount of them. Also you don't seem to fast fall them much and it really slows you down. You also don't jab in some situations where you need instant attacks to cancel an opponent's attack.

 

[RaphaelRobo]

Yeah, that was me.

I didn't realize I was missing so many, I'll keep that in mind. And yeah, I hardly ever fast fall and never cancel my opponents attacks. I'll try to start doing all of that.

 

[G. Vice]

Watch any matches from any of the Ganon mains on this thread and you'll learn alot. You gotta get more fluid technically, and you need to play people who are actually good enough in the game to force you to improve.

 

[SnakeMan]

Gvice im coming over there to mm yer bair-shffln' ***.

 

[PB&J]

Once my ganon gets fluid,its going to be so much fun to play him in teams

 

[Divinokage]

You can't do everything at once, PB, you gotta choose wisely. It sounds like you want to play multiple characters but at the same time you want to play Fox a lot..

 

[PB&J]

On the low Kage ive been picking up alot of characters,i did the same thing when i only played icy's i picked up fox and falco,now i am using ganon,shiek,falcon,and marth. @ one point ,me and soft practice every character in the game besides bowser for me,for at least 3 hours a day with each character. I feel like im getting smarter at the game so i dont think it wont be that hard for me and i love challenges and i like ganon,

 

[Divinokage]

Well, let me ask you this. How do you hope to gain the deep understanding of one character when you hop from one character to the next.

 

[PB&J]

I watch people like you,linguini,rock crock,chaddd and others. It helps alot but i have test dummies too that help me. People that are worse than me that i test them on,then i play them on players higher level then them and then i keep going higher and higher. Im very good at multitasking sio switch characters isnt hard for me. I guess its like going from the piano to guitar alot,since im a musician. Idk,plus i think the more cbharacters i play it makes my other characters better. Bum the DK player played alot of characters but only played dk in tourny,same with lambchops,he plays fox,marth,and ganon but only plays falco in tourny and they are all great players.if they can do it i can do it too. Im much better at explaing in person so i hope this makes sense a little

 

[Divinokage]

Ya but separating your time in between piano and guitar will not allow you to become super pro at them, only good at best. The only reason I see for them to play multiple characters is either for fun or because they want to understand the psychology from those characters.. other than that I don't really see any point. I mean if there's a match-up you have problems against, switching characters just means you won't allow yourself to overcome that match-up with one character and that could be your downfall in a long run because I'm sure other people will be able to exploit your weaknesses easier even though you have a favorable match-up.

 

[PB&J]

I am going to be pro @ guitar and piano btw,and yea i only play other characters for fun and to further understand them ,not for certain match ups.

 

[Divinokage]

Well.. don't say I didn't warn you, time is precious. Music is even harder to be successful at than Melee... what do you want to do with that?

 

[PB&J]

Ive been doing music since i was a little kid,i grew up in the music industy actually and i write songs,perform,and im a producer and i play music way more than smash and it is what im most gifted @ actually.its like second nature to me

 

[Divinokage]

ugh.. nm.. I guess my standards are ridiculous.. =P

 

[G. Vice]

Gvice im coming over there to mm yer bair-shffln' ***.

Idk what you're talking about son, my Bowser and Ness just made that easy money on you.

There's some stuff happening on the stream again, so every time you see a purple Ganon, tell me what you think of him.

 

[PB&J]

Kage-my standards are high too,like i said i can explain better in person. So much stuff i can write on the boards,but most of it would be misunderstood like it always is

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

 

[Divinokage]

Why are you posting this everywhere? It's old.

 

[crush]

Kage why are u so mean to people?

 

[Divinokage]

Asking a question is mean? Wow i've never thought of that!! Wtf lol.

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

because i feel like posting it everywhere.

 

[RaphaelRobo]

I demand you remove that image and replace it with one where they're on battlefield doing Ganon dittos.

 

[Эикельманн [РУС]]

i would if i were good with photoshop.

also on yoshis. are you sure you're a ganondorf main?

 

[RaphaelRobo]

Battlefield has purple on it. How much purple does Yoshi's have?

I may be a Ganon main, but purple comes first.

 

[Divinokage]

You sure? You sound like Tinky Winky atm.

 

[RaphaelRobo]

Tinky Winky wishes he liked purple as much as I do.
