I'm down, i'm available from around 6-7 PM my time.
Hmmm, it would be great to play you, but I think I might have to hit you up on a different day; I work 8a-5p EST and to be available at 6p-7p IDT it would be 11a-12p here. Are you free this Sunday at that same time?
Aerial fighting is generally pretty good for Ganon, as in contrast to other heavyweights his aerials are quite strong and he doesn't have any major blindspots aerially. Generally spaced Bair is his safest on shield, though Nair and Fair can also be sort of safe due to shield pushback. Keep in mind that none of these are completely safe or spammable, so be sure to mix things up. Aerial Flame Choke and tomahawk grabs can punish opponents who shield a lot. Uair is great at fending off opponent aerials, as is Nair. Keep in mind that Ganondorf also has good grounded options like Dtilt and Dash Attack, so be sure to use them as needed. The key to playing Ganondorf is to pay attention to your opponent's habits and adapt accordingly, so be aware of and master your aerial options, but you can't just spam SH aerials and expect to be safe. Be sure to mix up what you do to keep your opponents honest.

I could record it. I still have you in my friend list I think.@
I've got a replay that shows a perfect example of Tip N Slide being implemented, but I kinda flubbed the rest of the match after that and wound up losing ages later. As a result the replay is too long for me to upload it to youtube (3:00 limit whyyyyyyyy). Would anyone be able to record the replay if I sent them it?
Anyone up for some games later?
I'll send it to you.
One way to counter that is just to whack it back towards them. Early in the match you did a dash attack on the can and it sent it back towards DH. I think using your opponent's eagerness against them is something that can work in certain scenarios when fighting DH. Once you've established that he can't use the can to zone you out as hard as he'd like, it's a matter of playing the game right.
Well, I'm actually not a dorf player, so my advice is limited to more basic stuff. Your approaches were really predictable. Like, you mixed it up so you didn't getup/attack the same way a lot, but it looked like you were not actually thinking about your moves, just throwing them out and hoping your opponent didn't expect it. When they didn't hit you got punished. This was especially true when you kept using flame choke and eating upsmashes.
My reaction was similar to the commentator-on-the-right's: "heeEUUGHhhh!"
I would have if the only games I won weren't ones wherein I capitalized on your SDs or general penchant for styling! No, if I upload anything, it might be instructional videos for certain tech and fundamentals. I have pretty good facility over that stuff but application is another matter entirely. Working on it, though.
Well whatever you like doing, like I'm not saying my videos are the best but I like making them. Kinda like how Ganon isn't the best but I like him too lol, I can't have as much fun with top tiers and have given up on that honestly.
