I may have something somewhat sort of useful

[Natch]

Yeah, this is probably near useless, but I was messing around with Gdorf-of all characters-and found something.

If you jump then very very quickly use Down+B, Gannondorf will skip the start up animation entirely and just produce the shockwave at the end, and while you guys probably know this last bit, Imma just gonna say it only hits in front of him and pops the opponent up a bit.

In order to perform it easily just to see what I'm talking about, set L/R to jump and do the following:

1. Hit L/R
2. More or less simaltaniously hit Down+B

If done correctly, Gdorf will not even rise off of the ground. All of your fingers should do their respective inputs near simaltaniously.

In order to use this with some type of proficiency-not saying it's worth it or anything, just saying-you'll need Tap Jump On, Jump set to one of the Shoulder Buttons, or you'll have to Claw the controller in order to do this consistantly, otherwise Gdorf will hover in the air for a split second doing the start up animation of his Down+B.

In reality, this is more or less useless. The range kinda sucks, it only does 8%, and it's not the fastest mo-okay well maybe it does have some speed to it considering this is Gdorf we're talking about here, but still.

So you know, this has already been discovered. And it is rather useful, as it's his fastest close-range attack. I've still been trying to work it in more, it's somewhat situational.

 

[Gaussis]

It hits behind him too. And it has more range from behind. Not sure if it's that useful though.

 

[SaltyKracka]

It sucks. Period. Risk-reward ratio makes it almost as bad as utilt or B.

And yes, it's very old.

 

[Swoops]

Not only is the risk reward ratio very off, but it isn't his fastest fucking attack. It's less frames than jab, d-tilt, and f-tilt. Plus it has more lag than any of his attacks. If you want a quick OoS then use n-air. I've had to say this a lot of times by now.

I'll add something on it in the guide just to let people know.

I'd rather use his D-Tilt to clear enemies to pop them up.
