ok, lets break this down:
SWORD vs SWORD
OOT Ganon: In OOT, Ganondorf had his "Dark Sword", which appears to be the result of a Claymore and a Great Axe mating...
This sword is VERY large and VERY heavy, being about as tall as Ike, coming to Ganon's shoulder.
TP Ganon: In TP, Ganon has a different approach to swordplay. He relies more on skill than brute force (even though he still uses it). His sword relfects this in it's leaner look, being more along the lines of a Marth-style blade, but still being slightly heavy.
WW Ganon: Ganon takes a slight twist in this variation by using two quick blades to do the job of one strong one. The two swords are fast and strong, while not having the power of the other two variations alone, used together (and with ganon;s strength) they can be just as deadly.
Ragnel: Ike's sword is heavy, long and powerful, as well as having decent speed for it's size. It seems to have a nice balance between it's assets, with it's only weakness being some cooldown between swings, and an inabilaty to stab.
THE EDGE:
GANONDORF:
Ganon takes the Weapon Round 2 to 1:
OOT: The Dark Sword vs Ragnell, the Dark Sword is like the Ragnel's mean older brother: the two swords will have a battle of weight, size and strength, which the dark Sword beats Ragnel on each level. Especcially since it has the range advantage on the Ragnel, which Ike desperatley needs.
On an added note, If Ike tries to block the massive sword, with Ganon's powerful striking force, his arm/hand will most likely break, ending it then and there.
Ike's sword may have a bit more speed, but the positives of Ganon's simply outweigh that considering how small of a gap it really is.
TP: Ike takes this matchup. Simply put, Ganon's TP sword is simply out matched by the Ragnel in nearly all ways. Speed doesnt even matter since it cannot over come the range gap. (It is significantly shorter than Ragnel)
WW: Ganon takes this as well, due to his ability to counter ike with a second sword.
At first, it seems like Ike should take this. But at a closer look, the two swords WW Ganon weilds are seemingly thinner versions of his TP sword.
Focusing on speed, Ganon can simply manipulate ike's Ragnel with one, and finish Ike with the other, using his herculean strength to fend off Ike with one of teh swords to set up the other.
ARMOR
Ganon's armor varies greatly between his variations.
OOT: Steel Shoulder pads and chest piece, as well as plated gloves. Body Covered in studded/heavy leather.
TP: Steel plating in most areas except head/thighs. A decent trade-off considering he has the worse weapon in the matchup.
WW: No armor, just a robe.
Ike: Steel plate armor on almost all of his body except his sword arm and head
THE EDGE:
IKE:
Ike takes this 2 to 1
OOT: Simply put, Steel Plating is better than heavy/studded leather in a matchup of very powerful swords
TP: Ganon has more steel plating than Ike (both arms, and a neck-cover) with it technically being bigger plates due to his size.
WW: Ike takes this hands down. WW doesn't even have armor.
SKILL
All three Ganons are very skilled with their weaponary, with OOT Being a little less so, but having a fantastic sword to make up for it, and TP having the most skill, but having a weaker sword (comparitavley).
Ike is considered the premiere sowrdsman of his world, being an expert at his style of heavy-swordsmanship.
THE EDGE:
DRAW:
Ike may be the best swordsman of his realm, but Ganon is no slouch, with an expertise in using his own style (per weaponary) to gain control of the fight.
Technically speaking, Ike may be supreme at his ragnel, but its equal to Ganon being adapt to his better Dark Sword.
Ganon has the same level of mastery with his TP Sword as Ike does his Ragnel, being able to expertly wield it without issue.
As for WW, Ganon's style will counter Ike's due to having a second sword.
(for those keeping count, this round was Ike-> Even -> Ganon, resulting in a draw)
PHYSIQUE
Ike is well built, young and athletic, as well as being very strong. he is fairly tall and muscular as well.
Ganondorf on the other hand is allways portrayed as a massive individual, with staggering height.
In his OOT Incarnation, he is extremeley physically fit, and more than a match for Ike, In TP, he seems a bit less fit, but still imposing. WW Ganon seems fat...but still is able to move quickly and powerfully.
THE EDGE:
GANONDORF:
Ike may be more athletic and toned, but Ganon is simply a monster. In all three versions mentioned he is large, fairly nimble and exeedingly strong.
Ike is of course nimbler, but he isnt stronger or larger, ridding him of a range/power advantage over Ganon, which he needs to rely on with a weapon like Ragnel.
That being said, Ike's agility over Ganon could be a factor. Ike could take advantage over Ganon if he misses, yet on that note Ganon is swift enough to return the favor.
Being stronger/bigger/able to keep up with Ike (small gap in speeds) tips the scales in Ganon's favor this round.
SYNOPSIS
This match is close, I mean exceeedingly close....but, Im gonna give the bout a true deadliest warrior ratio:
Out of 1000 bouts, the scales are tipped..... 520/480...
GANONDORF:
Ganon is simply like the mean older brother of Ike, who can kinda just beat him up.
The matchup is heavily based on punishment, with either party missing equating to a death, seeing as with the weaponary involved, even steel plating wont prevent broken bones with the heavy **** being swung by these two power-house combatants.
Ike has been said to prevail due to his speed, and that is only true for the TP Matchup, which he wins. here is a breakdown of each fight:
IKE VS OOT: In this bout Ike has no advantages. Range? Darksword has him beat. Power? Darksword got him beat. Speed? Ganon can match him. Ike's only savign grace is his better armor, which may prevent a one-hot kill from ganon, with Ganon;s leather armor not providing the same protection. The fight goes to Ganon regardless due to sheer power on his part, which Ike cannot overcome.
IKE VS TP: This is the fight where Ike turns the tables. Ganon is heavily outmatched weapon-wise. Even if it is swifter, it simply cannot match the range and power of Ragnel, and has no hopes of really blocking it. Ganon's saving grace in this match is his superior armor, allowing him to take at least 1 hit before being vanquished....yet the same goes for Ike.
IKE VS WW: In this match, Ganon is able to work around Ike's one sword, using two of his own. Applying his attriubutes stated earlier to quicker, dynamic weaponary should be able to easily block/parry ragnel while killing with the second. Ike's saving grace here is that in this form Ganon has NO ARMOR, making him very easily killed should Ike get a hit in.
Over all, in all three possible macthups, Ganon has the advantage in two, with the TP bout going in Ike's favor. All three are also fairly close, with Ike being able to more easily kill Ganon in the OOT and WW matchups (but be killed easier himself) and both parties having trouble landing the killing blow in the TP match.
In the end however, Ganon's sheer brute force combined with superior weaponary, reach and the speed gap being just narrow enough to not play a huge roll earns him the title of the deadliest warrior.
And I don't think Tennet's cousin suffers from gigantism either...does she???
