If I had more critique that I could immediately think of, I'd mention it. But right now, I don't have any serious complaints about your fundamentals...which make me shiver in anticipation of your participation in the online Ganon
You kinda rely on Side-B a bit too much from what I've seen. It was good as a punish to reckless Sonic spindashes. But it shouldn't be a substitute for spacing correctly. Well timed pivot grabs can potentially be a safer option against Sonic's approaches, in case he tries to go for a different option other than dashing directly at you.
Honestly...the best way I can sum this up is I really feel like you need to actually just take a moment to slow down and think about how your opponent can attack you. Take 1:22 on the third match. Firstoff, what were you expecting Kirby to do that would have gotten hit by fullhop D-air? Nextoff, why did you then land and shield there for so long? You really had no reason to be doing that when you had plenty of time to analyze Kirby's position and approximately how long it would take him to reach you with an aerial, which you could relatively safely attempt to either powershield or anti-air with N-air/U-air. I know multiplayer lag is a factor, but I do believe that is a clear example of a situation you could have actively analyzed more carefully.
You can cover similar options more efficiently with U-smash, and U-smash also does more damage and isn't unsafe on hit.
I do that too, although for some reason not as much. I didn't know about that uair->nair thing though, thanks for that.
Thanks
I have to say, what he did against the Robin at 0:44 to 1:00 and many other stuff, I couldn't do. My respect to him for that.
We don't have frame data to prove it, but most of our observations suggest that it appears to have slightly faster startup.
His ftilit and dtilit look way faster, too. And the choke damage is so beautiful. Ganondorf looks like he will be even more fun to play this go around!
Wow. I learned a lot by watching you play during Brawl, and it looks like I'll be learning much more!
I'm not sure if it has been buffed, but it was a solid move already.
Well, thank you, sir.
The first Sheik Match:
Finally I see someone doing the stuff I've been doing since I got my hands on this game a month ago.
Thank you, mr. Zig. Steal as you like.
If you're in Japan, try your best to see if you can actually find the guy who I posted videos of. =PFinally I see someone doing the stuff I've been doing since I got my hands on this game a month ago.
I just don't understand why some players don't go for the option of grab the edge after the opponent grabs it and then bair or spike ( depending on the character )
Your ganon is very decent, but sometimes you use the same patterns and a really good player might punish you for that.
some times i saw in your vids trying to space the f-tilt but whiff ( a good player will be aware of this and punish you), maybe you dont know or lack the skill but for footsies you can also run quickly press Down + quarter circle forward + A and the F tilt will come out. This is good for pokes, pressure and people may think you are going to do a dash attack. Then once you get in their minds to block to the same Down quarter circle forward + B and you get the side be command grab. Try this and let me know
I'll try to post some videos of my Ganon I am really beasting, but currenly I am staying in China so its kind of hard. Ive been in japan too and some casual players are already getting better at the game.
This game will definitely improve when the wii u version (dair could be more useful with a C stick) comes out but still has lots of flaws.
Maybe when I am back in the states ill be able to play some Cali players with the wii u version
The biggest things I noticed were that you would benefit well from getting more comfortable with Ganon's ground spacing options, like DTilt and so forth. One of the primary things that makes Ganon successful in any context is knowing how to scare people. That is, do things to make them think. Use Ganon's jumps, mix up your movement patterns. Most importanly, call people's bluffs. For example, if a Robin throws an arc fire, jump over it and maybe FAir their shield. You'll probably get punished, but next time, try doing the same thing, but instead of FAiring, just empty jump > grab. Ganon can exercise his options best when the opponent is aware of potential consequences, and you have to be willing to take a few licks to put ideas into their heads.
lol
I didn't see his F-tilt whiffing as a real mistake most of the time. Especially in the 2nd video against Greninja, it seemed evident he was deliberately doing it to get a reaction.
A2ZOMG
KoC
That wasn't the intention...I never use "King of Evil" as an acronym given it has a better impact fully enunciated. True evil demands a strong command of language.KoC
I don't know if I like this acronym
On a positive note, behold the trust Transitive Property of Evil.
