Down fsmash connects when opponents are on the ground after a trip / choke / w/e as well as when they're crouching/crawling.

Your ganon/jiggs dancing signature is funny.

Down-F-smash is essential against crouchers like Kirby. In fact, Kirby sometimes doesn't get hit by Ganon even if he isn't crouching. It's stupid.

Up-F-smash is good against aerial attackers, and for also killing earlier.

Upwards Forward Smash gives ever so slight extra vertical knockback, and kills about 10% earlier.

Downwards Forward Smash is good against smaller, shorter characters like Kirby, especially when they crouch. Also, it can hit foes hanging on the ledge.
