Why should we give Ganondorf a sword? Seriously, Ike isn't good enough for you?
I agree that Ganondorf should have a mix of dark magic and swordplay. Keep his gameplay style of being slow, but powerful, as not to alienate Ganondorf players. Giving him a sword and magic could improve his range, which I think is something that he lacks.
Learn to read, will ya?

I imagine Ganondorf focusing on stabbing attacks rather than crushing attacks (like Ike).

yeah now that I think about it, what the heck is up with the sound ike's sword makes. it's almost accurate for slamming a really heavy sharp object into a tree. but nobody is a tree. bowser's the closest thing.


basically, I'm saying it should make a disturbing THUMPCRRKSHH noise, maybe

I would rather let him use a trident. Like the Blue Ranger.

in other news I got my first episode of my galaxy series up on youtube. it's pretty nice, although there's a video screw-up close to the end, and my voice is quiet at times.

also my voice kinda echoed from the rendering. *le sigh*


well, at least recording it was fun

You don't know Retsupurae? He makes videos making fun at others, like poor quality let's plays.
awww **** people like him. the only thing poor quality about our show is technical difficulties. if he wants to prove he's better, he can come to my house and set up the stuff and buy any extra equipment.

Define refined in this case.
Well, Ike's style is that he swings his sword around almost recklessly, so much force is put behind his swings to the point where it's almost surprising how he's still alive seeing how he leaves so many openings for his opponents. Ganondorf is more calculating. He predicts your movements and knows how to counter. Why? Because he's a master swordsman. He lets you make the first swing and then counters with incredible force. I honestly think that, if it wasn't for the whole "Good Guys always win" scenario, especially in the child/adult timeline, that Ganondorf probably would have won. Doesn't game limitation suck?

Well, you see.
1. It's actually two people. One of them being the founder of video LP's.
2. It's all in good fun. Like when Mystery Science Theater 3000 makes fun of a movie.

Ganondorf is fine really.
He just needs new specials (Neutral and Down specifically) and smashes (Side). A sword isn't necessary, he needs moves that focus on his dark magic as well, not just on his brute strength.

A sword is entirely unnecessary, but is welcome if it doesn't take up more than 35% of his moveset. He's got the triforce of power for a reason, he's supposed to have ridiculous strength. So if he isn't getting his hands dirty, he isn't utilizing that strength correctly.

Just waiting for that footage or confimation as a certain purple dragon as a stage hazard :)
It's been over 5 months since that stage's reveal, and with literally every other stage we knew about the stage hazards almost right away, and here we are, five months later, with no Ridley. I think it's safe to assume Ridley's not going to be a stage hazard.

1/10

No originality.

No comedic timing.

No class.

Terrible troll attempt.

Would not bang unless copious amounts of alcohol were directly injected into my body.

Youre right, probably just another boss battle in the main adventure we might see him as a full fledged character!
