lol those are theories? old news imoYeah I just straight up suck at the Ganon ditto cause I don't play it nearly enough. I only have a lot of experience in the spacies, Marth, and Falcon matchup. I'm still pretty bad vs. Sheik, Peach, Puff, ICs, and any other mid-tier matchup. I need more xp lol.
Also, $mike told me yesterday that he had some interesting Ganon theories.
- Ganon should use side-b and down-b to tech-chase since it covers 3/4 options if timed correctly. Don't use side-b in neutral.
- Instant up air is really good and underused, especially in neutral.
- Full hop dair in neutral can work if you time it right. Just full hopping in general is a good idea cause Ganon kind of floats and he can easily do anaaerial coming down. I definitely feel like I don't full hop enough.
tip: for side-b you want to hit B the instant they hit the ground initially.been practicing side b and down b techchases, its really hard to pull off sometimes but its so satisfyinggg.

i was talking with kirbykaze and he told me to run forward a tad bit along with pressing b as they hit the ground.tip: for side-b you want to hit B the instant they hit the ground initially.
I'm working Wednesday but we def need to playTell jewrad to hmu next time. prob gonna go to the fest on campus wednesday mark.
Jason saw the match vs hugs you need to airdodge less in yo recoveries imo. Also gotta slow your pace down sometimes cuz he was waiting for you without camping.
ah, ian I see you stole my anti mario tactics with the lightshield...dat green mario exp
lol that **** works so well vs the mario bros. had no idea you used to do that though. haven't seen another ganondorf do it before.ah, ian I see you stole my anti mario tactics with the lightshield...dat green mario exp
I can dig it, definitely a piece of technology I don't use.
Well you are from FL, just like all the Falcos are similar the Ganons are as well. I don't think it's that hard to see that especially when you were asking for a lot of advice back then....we do so much of the same stuff. i never even noticed.
They can't DI it if I hit the nair from inside Ganon, they won't know where to DI. That's why it's so good. Seeing a reverse upair is much more obvious then a nair.So much salt lol. Kage what if they decide to, you know, DI the nair? A sloth could hit up and away during ganon's slow nair, and the second hit will send them too far away to follow up, but wont send them far enough out so that you get an easy edgeguard.
uhhhh i wouldn't go that far. most falcos are absolutely not alike, and a majority of them just outright play like ****. if you can compare any other falco out there to the falcos in florida, i'd be very surprised.Well you are from FL, just like all the Falcos are similar the Ganons are as well.
I think he meant that the Florida Falcos all play similarly, a sort of regional Falco style.uhhhh i wouldn't go that far. most falcos are absolutely not alike, and a majority of them just outright play like ****. if you can compare any other falco out there to the falcos in florida, i'd be very surprised.
if both hits of the nair hit, literally all they have to do is hold away and up from where your are facing and you don't get a followup or an edgeguard. it matters only which way YOU are facing. If you hit them backwards and only get the first hit of the nair, you can follow up but it's not easy (you obviously can't jump forward, land the nair, knock them backwards, and still follow up that easily). No plan to cover every option involves nair.They can't DI it if I hit the nair from inside Ganon, they won't know where to DI. That's why it's so good.

I don't know but I've been successful incorporating into my game within all the other aerials Ganon has. It creates doubts in people's mind then they won't know where to go. If I get only 1 hit reversed then I usually am able to get a follow-up right after. They also almost always land on the platform after Nair from 0 which is extremely good as well. All I really know is that no one has perfect DI in this game so you can absolutely abuse these DI traps instead of knowing exactly how to DI Ganon's moves.if both hits of the nair hit, literally all they have to do is hold away and up from where your are facing and you don't get a followup or an edgeguard. it matters only which way YOU are facing.

Also how is "reverse uair" (turnaround uair) obvious? Do you think people are counting frames and seeing that 1-frame pivot, and saying "ok he's going to uair"? Lmao. uair is the fastest aerial....
All I have for FD is that **** FD for all matchups, I cannot play that stage and it should be banned.summoning @ L Linguini and @spider_sense. let's discuss the merits of FD as a counterpick against falco and fox plz. @ Divinokage and @ Bizzarro Flame also share your opinions plz.
thanks, very deep. this helps a lot.All I have for FD is that **** FD for all matchups, I cannot play that stage and it should be banned.
I'm only going to talk about Falco. I think this stage isn't as bad against Falco as Ganon mains make it out to be. A lot of Falco's combos are reliant on platforms as well as Ganon combos. I believe that Ganon capitalizes harder on such a stage because each of his moves do massive amount of damage anyways. As long as you know how to powershield and jump over lasers, you should be safe against Falco's linear approach. Edgeguarding should be simple because of the lack of platforms for Falco. As Ganon, you should definitely utilize wavelands and wavedashes out of shield for full mobility against a like-wise slow char of Falco.summoning @ L Linguini and @spider_sense. let's discuss the merits of FD as a counterpick against falco and fox plz. @ Divinokage and @ Bizzarro Flame also share your opinions plz.
dave you should respond to my fd post
That is my general opinion basically. But I do believe this: against fox, and especially falco, the way you and jason (and emilio the pioneer) fight falco works well on FD (not saying FD is "good" vs fox). Being in falco's face, using well timed jabs and careful tilts. heavy grab game. heavy techchase game. The best techchaser will love FD. The worst one (or someone that cant get grabs) will hate it.Most people don't like FD as Ganon, I don't mind it. I'll go FD against most floaties, depending (puff, samus, marios, sometimes marth, etc). You always want to think about why you lost the last match when counterpicking, and take into account your habits/strengths/weaknesses as well as your opponents' (not just his character). You may want to go there just because your opponent is using platforms to his advantage better than you are presently, for example. FD provides tons of room to space your attacks and bait approaches, which can often help you set the pace of the neutral game (Ganon very rarely has this ability). Platforms generally help Ganon but he doesn't need them to be successful imho (and in some cases they make Ganon straight combo food). Every Ganon's ground game is lacking basically. Tilts, jabs, SHFF wavelands, intelligent dash dancing, and techchasing become more important on FD. The chaingrab obviously has no limits also. It's a different game there... once you get a firm grip on what the stage provides you'll know when it can be an asset.
why not fastfallers? wouldnt it make getting combos out of techchases easier?I really like FD in zoning match ups ; Ganondorf, Marth, Jiggs ect
I hate FD against fast fallers ; Falcon, Fox, Falco ect.
I never play on that stage, i despise it and so I'm not qualified to talk about it.thanks, very deep. this helps a lot.
best ganondorf in the world right here, everyone.
