First of all, I am no expert on Ganondorf in Melee. I want to put that out there first, so everyone is aware that I'm relatively unfamiliar with the character. I've been playing Ganondorf for about 2-3 weeks and conducting a lot of research on his viability as a character.
Obviously, as a slow character, I understand some of the limitations which hold him back from being placed in a higher tier. But I was watching a stream a few weeks back and Mang0 mentioned that Ganondorf's potential hasn't really been tapped into since he has a very small playerbase.
For instance, why don't we see chaingrabs performed more often/consistently at high levels of play? Looking at the chaingrab thread, it seems like after one grab, Ganondorf should be able to secure a stock on a majority of the characters. As long as chaingrabs are incorporated effectively?
Is it particularly difficult to do or extremely DI dependent? I just want to know since I'm learning the character for a tournament late Summer. Any beginner tips or something to improve Ganon's tier placement would be much appreciated.
Sorry for the long winded post, I'm really fascinated in learning this character. The darkness is too appealing.
