I started playing a couple of months ago so I'm not so experienced at smash. I'm still practicing, but this is as good as I am right now

any suggestions on getting better?

Well, First off maybe upload some videos of you playing against someone else if you really want to be rated. You can't really tell a persons skill from fighting against a computer. Secondly you should turn off items :D. That being said I'll comment on what i could tell. You need to learn how to L-Cancle Ganons moves are really laggy and if you play against actual people they would punish you for not L-Canceling. Learn to wavedash/land Ganon is a rather slow character and those techniques really help speed him up. Wizards paunch isn't vary practical and don't toss out so many FowardBs. Also Spaming smashes is a bad idea sure they are powerful but they become predictable. Use more tilts and JAB . That's all that i can think of now but i'm sure other ganons will give some better advice.

Also practice with someone that's on your level and find out who smashes in your area. Let them introduce you to the competitive lifestyle of SSBM. Here's a pro tip. Never under any circumstances (when you're trying to improve technical skill) practice against a level 9 computer. The highest level you should practice on is at least level 4. Practicing against a level 9 will formulate very bad habits that will make it very frustrating you. Another tip is to try to practice your tech skill against a level 1. They have DI that's similar to a human's and they don't force any bad habits, as well as understanding the character's weight and basic recovery.

^^^ That thread will help you with the terminology as well as understanding how to play on a mental and technical level of smash.

In regards to learning how to play Ganondorf watch this vid.

This particular vid demonstrates the very basics of how to play Ganon at high level play, and will show you a very very useful tactic which is known as the reverse uair. Also created by the person performing the tech skill Thomas Tipman. Try to emulate everything he does in that video (tech skill wise)

Here are the top level pros you should always watch and no one else.

Linguini - Extremely technical and smart player. Knows how to handle each and every situation accordingly.

Kage - Not so good with tech skills, but his spacing and edge guarding is what makes him a top level pro imho.

Tipman - Founder of Ganondorf metagame. He's extremely technical and creative with various things.

Watch vids of these guys and try to incorporate everything they do into your own game. And if you need help you can ask around in the threads and they'll always be someone willing to help you out. I'm usually on aim, so if you need any advice and I'm on; don't hesitate to ask. If I'm not on, then I'm probably not by my comp but I try to get back to people that leave me messages. (That goes for everyone else too)
