Mind of a Murderer - Current Interview: Sovereign

[Z1GMA]

What, in your opinion, is the most important thing to keep in mind when playing Ganon?

 

[Exalted]

Should Ganon have his own tier? Lol.

 

[Vermanubis]

Q: Bacon or sausage?

Sausage. Bacon tastes better, but is as filling as air for the fat context. :I

1. What is ganondorfs best move? I think Nair is. It's incredibly good bait, a great wall for approaching, leads into tons of combos and can gimp sometimes better than tipman. But it's hard to say for sure, since Ganon lacks a single bad move. Even Dsmash has uses D:
2. When you lose, what goes through in your mind? That I need to reevaluate my playstyle to adapt my opponent. Depending on how close I am to winning and how good my opponent is, it can range from a simple "dang" to a "NOOOOO".
3. For how long have you been maining Ganon? 8 months now. I began maining him back October of '09. Best Month to main Ganon in! >:3
4. Your favorite matchup is...?Probably versus Snake, DK and MK.

What, in your opinion, is the most important thing to keep in mind when playing Ganon?

To never have a defeatist mindset of "I'm gonna lose". To pretty much ignore the fact that you're using Ganon lol. Don't let pressure take you over, otherwise you lose the one thing Ganon has: risk/reward. If you clam up, you don't take risks and you don't get rewarded.

Should Ganon have his own tier? Lol.

Ganon is seriously such a weird character. On one hand, he can do things no one else can with such ease and can turn matches around more than any other character in the game. But he is so limited that once someone knows his tricks, it comes down to simply being far better than your opponent. I think he should, just because he is... so uniquely bad, yet so uniquely good.

 

[seaDORF]

Wooo, i started playing smash bros. competitively in october '09 and been maining ganondorf since. Truly tis the best month to start maining ganon.

 

[Terodactyl Yelnats]

Oh dang, October '09 is when I started 0_0

 

[Vermanubis]

October is Ganon's month!

 

[Ganonsburg]

Well, October is the month when people celebrate the dead...

 

[Bahamut777]

man... really. That october thing is really scaring me. I've been using Ganon since June '09, but my first tourney as Ganon was in October '09... =<

 

[Terodactyl Yelnats]

October is our calling. Let's all join a massive tourney in Oct '10 and wreck up the finals with a four way Ganon tie.

EDIT: BAHAMUT! You must play me for my wifi is in perfect function.

 

[Bahamut777]

VERM
MY LAST QUESTION

Consider the following situation:
You just won an even match with a high level player and he asks for a rematch. He now uses his main character and 3 stock you. You now ask for a rematch. He uses the same character he used in the first match and you end up losing 2 stocked. What do you do then?
a) Try to find out what you did wrong.
b) Try being less predictable.
c) Try changing your playstyle.
d) Johns.
e) Murder.

Said scenario is impossible, therefore rendering an answer irrelevant! >:U

But, seriously. All of the above except for D.

 

[Vermanubis]

Okay, I'm getting boring. Tomorrow around 6PM let's put someone else up.

 

[culexus・wau]

Verm what made you decide to go to your 1st tournament.

legitimately curious, I like to keep track of old nsider guys who end up joining this community lol.

Unholy ****, I was not expecting a wild FWK to show up. lol

Hai, Flame.

Anyway, I began to truly see that WiFi was holding me back mixed with it also holding my opponents back, so my results were skewed. I was told for a while by a lot of people that I was pretty good as Ganon, so I wanted to put my abilities to the test to show myself whether or not I was a WiFi Warrior, or a legit player. I hope the latter is the case, otherwise I'm gonna be crushed once this elaborate delusion ends. ;~;

That and everyone was always telling me how much fun they were. I've been addicted ever since.

 

[culexus・wau]

Haha thats awesome.

btw

is zao cool irl

I know you've been to NE.


He's planning to anally **** my trap *** at apex.

I'm not quite sure if he's kidding or not.

I might have to hire a bodyguard hitman MURDERER to protect my ***, literally.

are you man enough to step up to the challenge. [maybe]

Oh yeah. I know Zao personally. He's a wickedly cool dude. Though, I wouldn't put it past him to put it in the pooper. I stayed the night at Nacho's house with him and a few others last weekend. Thankfully he knows not to approach a Ganon's anus carelessly.

 

[Bahamut777]

Okay Verm.
Should we go to the next Murderer?
I vote for Exalted.
I just KNEEd to know where all his fawfuliness comes from...

 

[Z1GMA]

Verm, could you put this in the OP?
'Cause I like how you answered the question.

"Z1GMA: What, in your opinion, is the most important thing to keep in mind when playing Ganon?

Vermanubis: To never have a defeatist mindset of "I'm gonna lose". To pretty much ignore the fact that you're using Ganon lol. Don't let pressure take you over, otherwise you lose the one thing Ganon has: risk/reward. If you clam up, you don't take risks and you don't get rewarded."

 

[Exalted]

I vote Z1GMA or Tero for next interview.

 

[Ganonsburg]

TP or Z1G.

 

[Vermanubis]

K, let's do Z1GMA. He has 2 votes, and judging by activity, that's about as much as we can ask for.

Alright, Z1G, you're up!

 

[Z1GMA]

Fine with me.

And remember, folks:
There are no stupid questions - Just stupid ppl.

 

[Exalted]

I might as well start now.

What's the biggest reason you main Ganon?

What is Ganon's biggest flaw and biggest strength in your opinion?

Lol, I used "biggest" alot.

 

[Dumbfire]

Where does you "Z1gma stole ## ruppes from ....." joke come from?

 

[Z1GMA]

I might as well start now.

What's the biggest reason you main Ganon?
It's simple, really.
He's the most fun character to play.
Everytime you land a Gerudo, it's like you quit playing Brawl for a sec, and instead you're playing a Mini Game.

What is Ganon's biggest flaw and biggest strength in your opinion?
Ganon is the most opportunistic character in SSBB.
Good damage on each single hit.
You can rack up 60% damage in like 2 seconds if the opportunity shows itself.

Ganon is the worst character in the game when it comes to avoiding getting punished,
and when it comes to punishing your opponent.
THOUGH, Ganon is one of the (if not 'the') most painful characters to GET punished by.

Also, one off-stage-mistake from your opponent, and you can spike them at 20%>
Again, IF... "the opportunity shows itself".

Where does you "Z1gma stole ## ruppes from ....."-joke come from?

I ain't a Demon Thief for no reason.

[Z1GMA stole 4 rupee(s) from Volcanic Doomfire]
That's the fee for asking.

[Reim]

What's your inspiration to keep playing as the G-'Dorf?

 

[Z1GMA]

What do you think about your huuuuuuge contributions to Ganon's current metagame?
What is your formula to improving?
Polishing all the small things to 100%, such as Murder Railing without going through the Sitting Animation first, Reverse Buffering, Fast Falling, Power Shielding, Salmon Smashing at the required moments,
SHFF AC Uairs, etc...
Well, simply putting all the small details into your game, to make your 'Dorf faster.
You're in Sweden. Some people like to bash "weak" Smash cenaries like yours (and mine). What you think about them?
Let them waste energy.
If there was something you would like to change in Brawl Ganon, what would it be?
That they gave him a Jab, and longer Grab Range.
What do you think about people scamming/thrashing/underestimating Ganon?
They are right about what they say.
Is there any player that you rivalize/aim towards?
Tonsana is my favourite rival
Do you have any play vices? Do you think they can harm your playstyle?
What would you do if you ever won a high level tourney going Ganon only and facing his most difficult MUs? (hypothetically)
Satisfaction.
Would you ever come to Brazil?
Sure.

DoublePost

 

[Z1GMA]

Z1G, I find myself inexplicably attrracted to you. How does this make you feel?

Good, of course (no homo).
Is it 'cause of my evil grin in the manly-thread,
or the fact that I love those old games?

 

[Z1GMA]

Okej. I feel I gotta ask some questions now here we go Z1g!

What´s your most trained matchup?
Snake
When did you start consider yourself one of the best Ganons in Europe/ World

World: I'm not that good.
What goes through your mind when you lose a close match?
"Should've stayed more focused."
Dou YOU think Ganon is the worst in the game?
With a frame-8-Jab and crappy Grab Range - Yes.
Whats your goal to accomplish with ganon?
Learn more match-ups. And try to find useful AT's.

I'm actually not that nice. I just tressure my friends and try to be honest.

Love you man (no homo)

[Terodactyl Yelnats]

Who's your favorite character to play against? Why?

Why are you so modest? You're obviously one of the best Ganons in the world.

Would you make this face if you time out a Meta Knight like I would?

What is the match-up you dislike playing the most?

What is your least favorite move to deal with?

If you find yourself dealing with the two above questions, what do you do?

You just came to a North American tournament and whilst you did not win, you beat some pretty famous pros. You are now the best Ganon in the world, what would you say to your new adoring fans?

What would you do if you're getting punished for your usual playstyle and not on just one or two moves?

Where did the "1" in "Z1gma" stem from?

 

[Z1GMA]

Who's your favorite character to play against? Why?
Snake, cause he's top tier of all the "tall" characters.
So your Tipman-game stays intact.
It's a hard match-up if the Snake knows what he's doing, but it is fun as hell.

Why are you so modest? You're obviously one of the best Ganons in the world.
Swedes are modest.

Would you make this face if you time out a Meta Knight like I would?
Of course.

What is the match-up you dislike playing the most?
Falco

What is your least favorite move to deal with?
Shuttle Loop, since it's a one-hit-0-death, that you can't even DI to save yourself from.

If you find yourself dealing with the two above questions, what do you do?

You just came to a North American tournament and whilst you did not win, you beat some pretty famous pros. You are now the best Ganon in the world, what would you say to your new adoring fans?
I'd say: "FOOLS! Ganon needs no fans!" as I gave 'em 200 lashes each.

What would you do if you're getting punished for your usual playstyle and not on just one or two moves?
It really depends on how my opponent is playing. I can't
give you one strict answer on that. Sorry.

Where did the "1" in "Z1gma" stem from?
Just wanted my Gamer Tag to be more unique.

Can you do Flipman with relative ease? I've practiced it, but due to my control scheme and controller, I can't do it reliably. 3:

 

[Z1GMA]

Can you do Flipman with relative ease? I've practiced it, but due to my control scheme and controller, I can't do it reliably. 3:

I think I nail it around 70% of the times I attempt.

I've done it 6 or 7 times in a row at best.
