All right, with all of the in-depth threads popping up I thought it'd be a good idea to create a thread about Ganon's overall game. Now, what I'm asking is for you to step back and observe how these things impact it as a whole. Where are these techs taking his game? In your opinion, do they put more emphasis on his aerial abilities? What about his punishing options? Have they cast a shadow over other techs or made any of them nearly obsolete or even completely obsolete?

Feel free to discuss at any length, and please don't hesitate to add more questions to the list, those are there just as a sort of guide. Any and all are welcome.

My picture of Gdorf:

+
* Can rack up damage really fast from 0% to around 55%.
* Almost every attack has KO potential (Awesome), Most of them can kill at around 90%.
* Pure awesome mindgames and tech chasing!
* Frustrating Side+B > Jab/Dtilt combo against some chars.
* Priority.

-
* Recovery isn't top.
* Some issues with punishing the opponent.
* Slow running speed.
* Campers can be annoying to deal with.

¤ Down taunt...

Pros:
- Tons of Kill moves
- Combo capability
- Mindgamez
- Reverse U-air Gimping
- AC'd D-air
- Stage Spiking Up-B
- One of the best spikes in the game
- Average range

Cons:
- Can't easily Edgehop
- Laggy moves if not AC'd
- Tall character/Large Target
- Slow
- No projectiles except for thrown items from other characters (Wario's bike parts, ZSS's armor, or Peach's Turnips)
- Lower than average recovery game
- No advantageous match-ups

Those are just my views on Ganon.

Hmm... so basically what would you give Ganondorf overall?

I'd say, perhaps... 2.25 out of 5.00.

His bads outweigh his goods, but not by nearly as heavy of a margin as many people like to think.

He's definitely got potential to rise higher, both in Tourneys and in the Tier List. Maybe to the top of what's currently Low Tier?

If the next Tier List has 5 Tiers(Top, High, Middle, Low, Bottom), then I expect him to place at the top of Low, or at least in the middle of Low.

New tricks, techs, and just small info bits are found constantly, and so I eventually see a better view on Ganondorf as a whole from the community.

I was just talking to a Ganon main in the chat. I've learned some stuff and I always though he was underrated. You gotta watch out for Ganon.

Ganon loves to play with Diddy's banana....................................s.
Uh, he loves to use Diddy's bananas in Brawl.
Er...it's fun to take a banana from Diddy and use it against him.
There's just really no avoiding this pun, is there...:lick:
