Is Ganon bad as of v1.04?

[_Darkpit_]

In my opinion it seems like Ganondorf is OP.

He moves from A to B slowly but his attacks are fast and very powerfull. Does he have a disadvantage at all? And it seems that he doesn't have cooldown. Okay his tilt up and neutral B are useless in competetive play, but like I said he can attack very fast. And his slowly move can be balanced by strikes against the attack of the opponent. The opponent has very much cooldown.

The only weakpoint is maybe his recovery.

And that he's slow as hell, big as hell, can't break out of combos at all, and can't approach worth a damn anywhere but battlefield without customs.

Will customs be allowed on tournaments?

Will depend on the tournament but there will definitely be side tournaments for it at the least.

Ganondorf has decent approach options against most of the cast because the threat of his blitzes is really massive and can't be walled easily by most characters. He mostly struggles approaching certain top tiers, but who doesn't?

Also his Nair is a good move for breaking juggles. So is aerial wizkick. Ganon is already a pretty decent character without customs. Customs do make him better, but mostly by helping his recovery.

Honestly if ganon can't be walled easily then I don't know who can.

There are extremely few matchups where explicit walling is dominant in this game. For that matter, Ganon honestly doesn't have it that bad when he forces people to play defensively with his DA.

Mastering Powershielding effectively gives Ganon an approach, since he can shrug off the opponent's spacing tools and punish accordingly. Nothing in this game is more satisfying than when an opponent is chucking all their projectiles to get you to stay away, and you march toward 'em, Powershielding all their projectiles as you get closer and closer. I swear I can hear someone cueing up the Terminator theme every time that happens. Hell, I probably should run at them most of the time, but I'll just march at a brisk pace just for that effect. Puts the fear into 'em.
