Oh, Samus/Zamus type all the way. If Ganon is playable for the Final Smash, he's going to have to have some kind of moveset, and if he's got a moveset, he might as well be playable. No sense in creating a new moveset that only gets to be used in short, final-smash induced bursts.his final smash should turn into the pig ganon

The first time Ganondorf ever fought in his human form, he was unarmed. In fact, let's just look at his entire history while we're thinking of it.(this is going to sound rude, but) To bad! we need an acurate dipiction of Ganondorf, and everytime you've fought Ganondorf directly, he's used a sword... pretty much all the time.
Pit will dual wield, wont he?Hrmm... interesting points for me to muse as I attempt to craft a moveset for him. Honestly? I wouldn't mind giving him a WW makeover, having him use twin swords. Who else in Smash dual-wields? Nobody I can think of. But then again, the unarmed style, as you said, is also rather unique, which puts me in an interesting place. I'm almost considering a dual-set, so he can fight with swords or without, the without being more magic-based.
well, the thing about this... is.... ummmm.... he doesn't.... uhhh...The first time Ganondorf ever fought in his human form, he was unarmed. In fact, let's just look at his entire history while we're thinking of it.
GANON'S FIGHTING STYLES
----------------------------------------------------
Spear: A lot (Pretty much every 2-D game)
Double-sword: Once (OoT)
Unarmed: Twice (WW, TP)
GANONDORF'S FIGHTING STYLES
----------------------------------------------------
Unarmed: Once (OoT)
Double-sword: Once (WW)
Greatsword: Once (TP)
When looking at Ganon(dorf) as a whole, the only one that comes up anywhere near often enough to be considered an "iconic weapon" is the spear, which he has never wielded in human form. You could argue that unarmed comes in second and double-sword comes in third, but it would be completely asinine. There were no true similarities in style between any of them (not even OoT Ganon and WW Ganondorf, and they're the closest by a wide margin).
If you ignore the Ganons and just count the Ganondorfs, it is clearly a three-way tie. The truth is that human-form Ganondorf has never had anything at all resembling a unified fighting style. Even if you ignore their weapons, there aren't even any similarities in the basic feel of the fight! (One stationary with magic, one really fast, one slow.) If you wanted to call any of them "iconic", it would have to default to the first one, which would be "SSBM Ganondorf with a lot more magic".
The only reason to give Ganondorf a sword-based moveset is "that's his most recent appearance", and I don't see Zelda holding a sword in any of her Brawl screenshots. She kept a moveset based on her Melee one because it was unique and it suited her well. Ganondorf using a sword wouldn't do anything to significantly increase the diversity of available movesets in Brawl (I've already said why nobody else fights like unarmed Ganondorf), and no one weapon proficiency is any more "Ganondorfy" than the other two. In fact, if there's any similarity between the different Ganon(dorf)s at all, it's that regardless of how he fights in the last battle, he's always thought of as being magic-adept, which is most closely represented by the "unarmed dark wizard" Ganondorf appearance.
I thoght i was the only one going against his sword. IMO i would be not original for him, we have already too many sowrd users... and there is a problem with ganon, a big one, HE IS INMENSE. In melee this guy was one of the few that could go hand to hand with marths range. Now give him the sword of TP (which is noticable bigger than marth´s) and combine it with ganon{s reach = justa not funny overpowered swordman. And that without taking in consideration the magical attacks he will srely have.I'm not trying to say there's no way to work the sword in at all. I could picture him summoning a sword out of midair for his fsmash (the CF one is lame anyway) and some of his specials. However, I can't picture him carrying a sword all the time, and I feel that the vast majority of his offense should stay as hand-to-hand attacks or close-range magic (a la Zelda).
his upB needs to have a time limit, not by just letting go of B. that's why i think it would be a good idea for it to be almost exactly like pikachu's upB.Up B: He will morph in Twilight matter or whatever, in the thing he turns to get inside Zelda in TP. He is able to move freely for some time while in this form in any direction by holding B, but is kinda slow, making it easy for an opponent to know where he will morph back, it takes some time to recover after morphing back. You are able to morph back by yourself by Stopping holding B. You can go through enemies. If you stop holding B while going through an enemie (being in the same space) it will create an explosion instead (like C. Falcon's Up B, does the same damage and knock back), and he will morph back faster and recovered, being abl;e to attack or dojng B moves, like after hitting with C. Falcon's Up B. Is preety much a different more evil, dark, TP version of his Melee Up B. (Twilight Princess, kinda lol)
Ha! I've got you on the run! Now for the finishing blow!well, the thing about this... is.... ummmm.... he doesn't.... uhhh...
...hmmm... it seems I can't think of a way to counter this... I guess that means you win. Well played my friend! well played!
however, despite this logic, Ganondorf using his sword from TP is almost a given; one, he need to use his TP design to fit in with Link and Zelda (who all have there TP designs). two, Link special attacks update showed that his item have been changed to the ones in TP, meaning the TP designs are more then just visual. seeing as it wouldn't make sense to have OoT Ganondorf fighting TP Link, we need TP Ganondorf; and seeing as TP Ganondorf has a (awesome) sword, it only makes sense too give it to him in Brawl.
I did say for some time, not forever until releasing B, it will last a max of 2 seconds maybe?his upB needs to have a time limit, not by just letting go of B. that's why i think it would be a good idea for it to be almost exactly like pikachu's upB.
yeah 2 seconds would be good. but then would would be the point of releasing B?I did say for some time, not forever until releasing B, it will last a max of 2 seconds maybe?
it would be the energy ball, i would love that. but he's gonna have the sages sword anyways so that can make up for it if he doesn't get the projectile.ganondorf really has to change his moveset...they also HAVE to make sure tht they put some type of projectile in since he's so slow and powerful
Man.... i couldnt have said it better myself................ u are as legendary as the triforce itself!.Ha! I've got you on the run! Now for the finishing blow!
Yes, Link and Zelda are both visually based on their Twilight Princess incarnations, and Ganondorf most likely will as well (silly braided hair and all). But what are some of Zelda's known moves? Din's Fire and Farore's Wind. Abilities which existed exclusively in...Ocarina of Time!
And even though Link's moves did change subtly, adding a new look or slightly adjusted properties to his attacks are drastically different from completely scrapping a character design and starting over from scratch. He could have easily done that with Zelda (I mean, she needed drastic rebalancing anyway if she was ever going to be able to outgrow total Sheik dependence), but he didn't. He stayed faithful to his original image of Zelda and the way she fought. Sakurai already has a good character in SSBM-Ganondorf. He's going to see a lot of changes, but that doesn't remove the core of the character; the basic feel and properties that define how he plays. Why would he throw that away? What's wrong with it that justifies taking it out of the game and doing something completely different just for the heck of it?
If Sakurai intended for the characters to match completely with their Twilight Princess abilities, Zelda would wield a saber, her up- or side-B would have her flying through the air with the sword stuck out, her B would shoot an energy ball, and her down-B would summon light energy from the floor (well, I guess it technically still could, if she doesn't transform into Sheik anymore). The Twilight Princess designs are for aesthetics only--Sakurai is not limiting himself to that one game when devising their fighting mechanics. His goal isn't to hype Twilight Princess because it's new, his goal is to wind up with something that properly exhibits the spirit of the characters.
What is Link? Link is the symbol of courage; a prodigious swordsman who can adapt to any situation and overcome any obstacle by combining his own strength with that of his tools. Link in Super Smash Brothers shows that. What is Zelda? Zelda is the symbol of wisdom; though her physical body is somewhat frail, her mind is strong. Is it not natural that she would use that aptitude for magic to compensate for her physical weaknesses in a fight? And what is Ganondorf? He isn't known for any kind of legendary swordsmanship. He isn't just "the last boss in Twilight Princess". He is the symbol of pure, cruel, unrelenting power. If nothing else, the Ganondorf in Melee has that. Even in the complete absence of any kind of customized flashiness, even without so much as his own animations, Sakurai found the perfect way to harness the spirit of what Ganondorf was supposed to be. Why risk losing that just so we can get a shiny sword? What is the Sword of Judgement to Ganondorf? It is in no way the source of his power. It is less, even, than a tool to him, compared to the way Link has the tools he relies to much upon. It was a trophy. He wielded that sword out of pure irony, as a spit in the face to those who thought such a feeble thing could hinder one as strong as he. It is nothing to him. He could have fought just as well with a crude iron greatsword, or nothing at all.
Gandondorf's power does not come from the tools he has on hand. He is power. In building the single, unified spirit of Ganondorf for Super Smash Bros., there is no greater need to give him a sword than there is to give Mario the F.L.U.D.D.. It isn't part of his core character.
(P.S. Not to add insult to injury or anything, but if you ask me, the final Ganondorf battle in Wind Waker was cooler than the final Twilight Princess battle anyway, even though he looked kinda goofy back then.)
-_-... i cant believe you just said that.. it was gay that he didn't have a sword in melee, so he better have it in brawl. especially since it's the Sages sword.GANON DOENST NEED A SWORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE NEEDS THE TRUE TRIFORCE POWA!
it would be the energy ball, i would love that. but he's gonna have the sages sword anyways so that can make up for it if he doesn't get the projectile.
-_-... i cant believe you just said that.. it was gay that he didn't have a sword in melee, so he better have it in brawl. especially since it's the Sages sword.
it's not a crappy sword. anyway, he had a sword in oot and in tp. ganondorf = swordsmanSages sword, master sword, Battousai swrod.................. its the same.......
GANON is not a swordman............. he uses that blade in the final battle of TP but he just dotn need trhat he is a omnipowerful magician FFS.!!! he needs magic not a craapy sword obtained by coincidence.
And anyways, he is too big and his range would be kind of problematic.
I can see both sides of the debate. Fact is, he doesn't NEED a sword, but his proficiency with one in TP is nothing short of masterful, apparently. So yeah, you could give him a sword, and still integrate magical abilities. That's why I'm sticking in the Sheath/Draw mechanism for my moveset. So you can play to a style.
Range is going to be something of an issue with Ganon once he has the sword, so the solution is to make him slower and less jump capable, and to stick magic projectiles in with the unarmed fighting. Using magic he could have the same sort of range. And besides, I imagine that his sword blows would be slow and hard. Give him a bit more speed without a sword and it's good. There are multiple ways he could be taken.
I will say one thing though... I would have loved to see WW Ganondorf in Brawl (still would love now, tell the truth). We need a dual-wielding beast of a man.
hey man, don't diss the corn rolls. other than that, excellent post.Yes, Link and Zelda are both visually based on their Twilight Princess incarnations, and Ganondorf most likely will as well (silly braided hair and all).
Don't be...if ganondorf doesn't return or returns with the same moveset , I will be MAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i feel like the meat....Don't be...
All the important Twilight Princess characters will be in Brawl, that means: Ganondorf and Midna, maybe Zant (I wish!).
I wonder the postman.... just kidding.
