It's about a 14-17 hour difference from the United States. I tend to see them a lot between 12-10 AM here in California, which is about 4 PM to 2 AM for them.Thanks, man. And I'd be happy to play you someday.
And yeah, it's the 3DS version. I notice the Japanese come around a lot late at night, probably because of the massive timezone difference.
Add me. I can show you both my Ganondorf and other secondaries I play.
While i'm not really that much of a veteran i would love to play some matches, i'll add you later on.
Will do. I wrote my NNID down wrong originally, anyway.
GG, Bloody. My only real critique would be against you using lots of Jabs after Gerudo on him. Dtilt is almost always a better option at low/mid %s, unless you're very close to the ledge.
You played pretty well there, just one tip for the gyro, if you grab it & you just want to get rid of it fast throw it upwards, even if it is for a few seconds a gyroless R.O.B is a lot easier to deal with.
Haha It's been awhile since I made this account I guess. I still live in NH but I like in New Durham now. Maybe the should be a NH smash weekly tourny =D. I'd come as often as possible (if only to lose round one or something)
There are some tricks:
Playat
if you drop below the stage and UpB with the right timing it's very hard to punish and the hitbox on Ganondorf's hand is not only very strong but huge. Also if you get the timing perfect you can do a drop-hop Fair ONTO the stage. Just be careful because you can accidentally do Dair pretty easily and that won't actually bring out a hitbox.
Hold your ground. Focus on playing the midrange carefully. Your pokes have better range and damage than his, and it doesn't matter if he hits you a few times with F-air or DA, given his damage output is basically half of yours. Just generally speaking, you shouldn't be afraid of most of his non-projectile attacks as long as you establish a good reactive/defensive game. Eventually, you will have opportunities to juggle him or Flame Choke him, and you will have a much easier time killing him than the other way around.
I like your patient Ganon
That is the Ganondorf I aspire to be. That guy is my hero and now I'm even more psyched to learn even more about the Dorf. Especially since Pikachu is one of my worst match ups in the game. The Megaman match also shows me how to better deal with projectiles and such. I seriously can't believe people say there is no ledge or off stage play in this game.
I really just totally forgot to post about it here.
Good god, that Megaman looked really annoying, but that Pikachu... please no. Pon is amazing, no doubt, but I'm still wondering how he even won with that filthy Pika. I'd have lost hope after some of those combos, lol. He just hung in there and got a few good hits in and punished hard with hard reads for the most part. Not everyone can take advantage of these small windows of opportunity, and if he hadn't, these matches feel like they'd have gone the other way. Although, the Pika was very aggressive, so there was that to help with the reading part. I'll also add that his ledge play made me cringe. Seemed like it was just trying to put up a wall and not exactly hit anything which seemed risky but better than nothing perhaps. Maybe his options for guarding from the stage weren't as good. I'm not sure on the matchup to be honest. All I know is that every time he floated himself out there off the stage with uair, I feared the worst. I could see myself trying that too though, but much less successfully. That Pika though.
The back hitbox of ganondorf's UAir actually have a soft "spike" hitbox which I love to use. I actually think Ganondorf's off-stage game is one of the best in the game once you get used to it. He can go surprisingly deep and all of his aerials have amazing range and priority.
OMG I think I played you on FG. I uploaded our Yoshi V Ganondorf match.
Maybe I'm not seeing the deliberateness of his movements, but most of the time it doesn't appear as if he's trying to hit Pikachu. It seems more as if he was just making a wall to try and tease Pikachu into. Bit of an exaggerative analogy, but it's like standing in place jabbing and hoping the opponent runs into it... except you get gimped if your jab is interrupted. I know uair is a great edgeguarding tool with tipman and stage spikes. I know it's not even the only great tool he has off stage. But I also know he's fairly gimpable if you leave yourself vulnerable. That Pikachu had some scary tools off stage too and Pon's Ganon was just waving uairs out there. You can't argue with his results of course, but I think most people would be ill advised to try just waving a uair wall around offstage fishing for a Pikachu like that to run into it. I'd have just gotten back on stage against that Pikachu, lol... but then I'd probably have lost fantastically too. I'll reiterate though, maybe I'm not seeing the deliberateness of his movements. Could be that everyone of those uairs was aiming to hit Pikachu. It just didn't appear that way to me. We're talking about a pretty amazing Ganon though and perhaps I'm not supposed to know what I'm looking at, heh.
Dunno when that happened, but I made so many mistakes in that match.....ugh. I had that too. Anyway, needless to say, I've progressed. I remember saving some games of you, but I still don't remember who held the record in the end (my personal bias/ego leads me to conclude that I won whatever form of a "set"). We should rematch. I remember though, you didn't use Egg throw a lot. Use it. Also, here this match with a Peach that in the match before, 2 stocked me. I 2 stocked this Peach in the preceding match only to have the Peach beat me in the next match.
This offer applies for today.
I actually got a replay saved of me getting 5 - 6 consecutive chokes lol. However, I'm still inexperienced in other facets of Ganon's game so I wanna learn more ledge play and more patience and just...more stuff. Honestly I feel that I just need a brush up on Shffl's and other techs like that since I tend to forget they exist sometimes. But I believe Ganondorf has amazing potential to be high tier simply because his positives far outweigh the negatives once you learn him.Thanks, dude.
I'm positive that you're capable of playing just as well, and frankly, even better!
Yeah, you were literally the first Ganondorf I'd matched up against with Yoshi. I'm still trying to feel out my mains for this game so I switch characters a lot. Most of the games we had were pretty close but you definitely took the majority. Had I known back them that you could add friends from the win screen I would've.
