Ahhhh gravy. The saltiest set I've ever played. Game 3, he had over 100% last stock on yoshis (if he got hit, he was dead), I had two stocks... which he took with some pretty sick combos. Gravy, if you're reading this- I got you next time ;)

But yo falcon is a tough matchup. Aggro falcon is an easy matchup. Just sit patiently and don't jump before he does.

i feel that though ganon is slow he has fair options against a lot of characters though some of them may be unconventional. I love fighting spacies now, i know the spacing and the combos on them now, just working on marth. I am from canada by the way and probably going to toronto as that is the closest big tournaments to me

It's like you shot yourself in the leg and then fought someone and said, "See! If I didn't shoot myself in the leg I would definitely win!"

Come on man--don't **** with me now. You're a good Ganondorf, but Animal out performed you. It's whatever. I have beaten him in friendlies too. It's not that hard to beat in in friendlies...he's always ****ing around. Tournament is a different mindset for him. He never plays even close to serious in friendlies lol.

But anyway, Animal is not amazing--he's GOOD. That's about it. Amazing lies in the realm of the top 50 best players. If he breaches that I'd be amazed. Otherwise he's just a very solid Fox.

Also, I never play Animal really. I see him once every few months so he probably got a quick refresher in that Apex match up. I play at least as fast as you if not faster--a lot of our style is pretty similar, except I go for more movement. You're more spacing oriented--you try to wall harder than me. I concede space a lot and go for ledge options when it gets pretty bad.

Animal is great but he's still relatively new. Ik people that were trashing him back in the day. You're hyping up your region way too much

I used to have so many character specific combos on characters, it was ridiculous. Anyways, what's with all the super sprite salt? I'll MM him if it'll make everyone calm down. Honestly, if any Ganon came to SFL alone. NONE of you would make it out alive. I think Pork chops (one of our players) wanted to money match Kage after he destroyed him in friendles Apex. Kage declined :(

Have you played him in tournament before? I have. I'm not hyping him up at all. Saying someone is good or solid isn't hyping them up.

Hey guys, I just started trying to play competitively about a month ago, and I've only been to one real event (mass madness), but I'm a Ganon main so I thought I'd say hi.

Also, any tips on learning to pivot smash/tilt/jab consistently? I spent like 3 hours practicing it today but I only get it like 1 in 10 times

I'm in the Boston area some of the time and attend tournaments there. Been to mass madness several times. Which one did you go to? And will you attend NSA2?

I hope you stick around here, because I've encountered several dorfs from MA on these boards that haven't responded to me at all and are never at the events I attend. I just wanna find some more local ganons.

I was at the most recent one (11 I think?). I can't go to NSA2 though, I was planning on it but now I'm too busy.
If we end up at the same event we should definitely play though, maybe you could show me some stuff. I'm still not very good :(

Practice tech skill. It will come slowly in matches too but too the point where its second nature to just move about freely with ganon. I highly recommend not switching characyers too much

there's literally only me and bernard(RaynEX) that play ganon and attend tournies regularly. there's other randoms that show up, but i've never seen them show up again. for a second i though i was the only ganon main in the GTA.
