What I was saying....Basically is that Ganondorf does use direct force more when fighting 1v1 or close and personal if you will. Even though some don't categorize swordplay as brute force, he still uses attacks (mainly kicks) while sword fighting. That being said, who's to say all of his attacks have to be directly derived from what he's actually done in game anyhow? They don't. Starfox is a perfect example of that.
I (and many other people) think that when possible, a character's moveset should be derived from their games. The Star Fox team and Captain Falcon aren't hand-to-hand fighters so their moveset had to be invented as a necessity, but staying faithful to a character's material should be a top priority.
Ganondorf has shown what he does and does not do in combat plenty of times. It's just a pity that the creators of Smash Bros don't respect that.
