http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_FvJGA98gj8 Watch this video at 1:59-2:00. Looks like something you could use from time to time, but needs a hella lot timming and precision.

If this has been discussed already I apologize.

Also pardon my english, it's not my native tongue.

There might be people out there that are willing to improve their ganondorf main or learn new stuff about their favorite character. You're not helping me nor anyone else in this matter, and you made yourself look like a complete fool in the process.

You knew about this? Great, link me the thread so I(or anyone else) can learn more about this and let this thread die. Otherwise, your flamboyant one liner is very pathetic, even by internet standards.

1) The reason this isn't all over the major guides and such is because it is essentially worthless
2) FD was not speaking to you specifically, really. We have had an inhcredible number of threads just like this lately and it gets old.
3) You overreacted quite a bit there.
4) Congratulations. Since you attacked one of the most respected members of this board, you will never be accepted here. Have a nice day, and please refrain from insulting people over things you know very little about.

AYYYYYE, matey. Dat thar be a bad move.

EDIT:

Gleam, I assumed as much and started to reply without even watching the video. I guess it was good I checked it out. I was about to go on a quake rant.

I don't blame you, 90% of the time when someone brings up something new for Ganon its the quake. It gets annoying after like the...1,000th time or something.

If that's the case, we'll have to do one for Thunderstorming, too. As in, how to do it.

1) This "technique" should be at least mentioned in the major guides/moveset FAQs. If it isnt, then that leads to the second issue because...
2)...if people cant find it where it's supposed to be, what do you think they are going to do? Make a thread about it, like I did(in the most respectful way)
3) Yet you seem to be ok with his lame one liner that says very much about his overrall attitude. Grats on being an hypocrite.
4) I didnt came here to be accepted in an internet forum. Take your own advice and "refrain from insulting people over things you know very little about"

And for future readers, it isnt about Quake nor Thunderstomping. It's about air choking near the ledge to spike the opponent without killing yourself. Same principle as air choking on skyworld so he goes thru the clouds, except this works practically everywhere and doesnt seem to be banned.

OK fine fine, I'll explain why this move sucks since no one else wants to.

There are a few reasons why this move is bad. I'm going to explain them in no particular order.

First, let's discuss the difficulty and danger inherent to trying to spike someone in the way shown in the video. Spiking someone with an Aerial Gerudo depends on THEIR body position, not Ganon's. If the opponent is a little to far into the stage, it's a regular aerial Gerudo, slamming them into the ground. This is not a bad move at all, but this is not the move we're discussing. If the opponent is over or just beyond the ledge, you will spike them into a ledge grab. Again, not really a problem, but not good either. If the opponent's body is positioned JUST right, you will spike them. The margin of error here is basically nil, because if they're too close, you'll gerudo them into the stage or onto the ledge as mentioned above, but if they're just the TINIEST bit too far....you will die in a Ganoncide. This isn't bad if you're up a stock or have more damage than your opponent and want to level the playing field, but again, we're not discussing Ganoncides. Basically, you can f*ck yourself with this move incredibly easily.

If they airdodge and you don't react soon enough to DI back towards the stage, you might find yourself slowly fall-specialing (new word) to your sad, sad death. If you come up short and land on stage, you'll get punished due to Aerial Gerudo's gross landing lag.

Look, I'm not going to chastise you for posting something that you believed to be new and helpful, but I have to wonder about how well you thought this through before posting it. I don't know anything about you, obviously, nor your Ganon playstyle, but it seems to me like anyone who plays Ganon would have been able to figure out how bad/dangerous this move was without even trying it out. I mean...your opponent is entirely in control of how this move will end up (Spike, Slam, or Ledgegrab). These type of high-risk low-reward techniques are hardly what Ganon needs to advance his game.

Shinnok.. you should ask things like this in a already created Ganon thread.
