Is there a Ganondorf Stage Discussion Thread?

Is there one?

If so, give me a link.

If not, I'd gladly start one.

What you need to know about Ganon's stage choices:

Delfino Plaza = Good
Norfair = Good
Brinstar = Good
Pirate Ship = Good

Any flat or stage with an irregular build (lylat, yoshi's island) = bad

I would be kinda careful about brinstar, that wonky terrain does a lot to screw with Ganon. You have to pay attention to all your autocancels, make sure your gerudo or wizkick isn't going to be interrupted by any of the stupid juts in the stage. It just makes it so you have to be pretty careful about what you're using at certain times, so I'm not really a fan.

I personally do prefer Norfair because you can camp your butt off on the bottom platform and punish everyone for even mildly grazing the top platforms, and then when you're a stock ahead you can lunge yourselves to every edge with your Murder Chokes until they die and you win.

However, if you simply pay attention to what you're doing, Brinstar is a good stage. The small stage and outer KO boundaries make it easier to KO normally - so somebody who knows about Ganon's mastery in lava stages he'll have other things to worry about. I usually don't mess up on my autocancelling here, as long as you pay attention to which direction you're jumping you should be fine.

There was talk about rainbow cruise being an excellent stage for Ganondorf against Snake, would this same stage be good against other characters?

against characters not named MK, yes.

Battlefield and (to a lesser extent) Smashville are great for my ganon. Flat stages with platform(s) and good ledges = good for me. I only need one platform in case of emergencies when camping is proving especially difficult.

I agree on platform stages, they defintely help against projectile spam and sometimes chaingrabs. I can see levels like Battlefield being counterpicked whenever the Yoshi match comes in, seeing how it can completely null his chaingrab he has on Ganondorf.

Pirate Ship = My Favorite Ganny Stage

Well, I'll start one, then... what should the first stage be?
