Okay, this really got to me yesterday. I was fighting this Lucario and all he had to do was get battered until around 80-100%, and then spam aura sphere at me. I know, this sounds easy right? Wrong lol, Lucario's grab is so fast it out right beats any of Ganon's attacks, so I would be thrown off the ledge and then the aura sphere's start again. There wasn't much I could do, I'm not saying there was NOTHING I could do, but all he had to do was shield because Ganon's grab range is so poor to point that there's no point in grabbing, unless you're shield grabbing, but obviously, he wouldn't attack me head on unless he was aura sphereing me.
This probably makes me sound terrible, but I assure you I'm not a terrible Ganon lol xD I honestly think Lucario is one of the hardest to fight as Ganon, as I win most matches I play as Ganon (surprisingly). Also, his Side-B... going for a grab is one thing, but trying to space down tilts as Ganon to try and not get repeatedly grabbed and thrown off is hard because he can just side-b me D: Also shielding, trying to power shield aura spheres online isn't the best as you can imagine. The connection was fine, but not to the point of shielding like you can offline, and so, my shield would almost be broken after two attempts at shielding them.
I tried jumping over them but as you can imagine, Ganon's mobility in the air isn't the best, and can leave you open for more side-b's, or just simply getting grabbed again (seriously, my jab came out, and his grab still beat it). I did win him a few times, but that's not the point, it just annoys me how simple tactics like spamming aura spheres, grabbing, and then waiting about two rolls away from the ledge to hurl more aura spheres at me, can work :/
Anyway, I ended up switching back to Mewtwo and two stocking him, but it annoys me that Ganon's mobility, speed and grab range can be beaten in every way by Lucario. You would have to be there in person to know what I meant in this match lol. By stupid tactics beating me, I mean that if he had tried to run up and combo me, fight me like a normal Lucario, I would have had MORE of a chance at winning than what he did here. And no, I'm not blaming him for spamming either, it worked, didn't it? And that's where my problem stands.
Edit: In other words, Ganon needs a HUGE grab range buff, as shielding against Ganon is basically how you win. Ganon's "Dash grab" is pretty much none existent, so people can pretty much shield grab anything Ganon does. Oh, and Flame choke won't do no good either, unless your opponent is actively chasing you so you can get him off guard, but if he's not, then it's too slow.
