What beats what?

[-ACE-]

Speaking in generalities, of course. Discuss any matchup and I'll list them by character. Could be interesting.

DITTOS

uair beats fair
early uair beats bair
bair beats fair
spaced fair beats bair
high ftilt beats SH aerials close in

vs MARTH
(Ganon's/Marth's)

bair beats nair
spaced bair beats fair
retreating fair beats nair
full jump fair dodges fsmash/utilt

vs SHEIK
see KK's post, lol

vs FALCON

high ftilt beats nair/knee approach (sometimes trade, be ready to DI; often requires a read)
retreating uair beats nair (hit him just as the first hitbox of the nair wiffs)
retreating bair beats aggressive/full speed approaches

vs PEACH

uair beats dair
uair beats fair

Speaking from personal experience, Ganon's best moves against Sheik seem to be some mix of shield, up air, jab, f-tilt, d-tilt, and bair. Basically anything that doesn't have a significantly large start-up. I also think her style of spacing is conducive for down+B / side+B shenanigans because she mainly attacks from a stationary position (she stops when she f-tilts, her jump has low aerial mobility, etc). I wouldn't count on side+B / down+B or anything, but I think they're often better options than sidestep and "block + hold block" if there's a chance she'll miss the tech chase.

I dunno.

Bair, uair, up-angled f-tilt are pretty good against Sheik's aerials I think. Not perfect mix, because she has so much more speed and comparable hitboxes, but it always seems like those three give relatively good returns for Ganon.

You're actually pretty spot on with that KirbyKaze. I'll add some info to this later when I'm not so busy.

Note: Up-angled f-tilt works against retreating fairs. Mostly Ganon's tilts can usually contest any aerial from another Ganon.

also true and underused; i'll update this one day when i get off at a decent hour.

For marth my favorite is def full jump fair, tipman taught me that. It dodges f smashes and utilts perfectly.

PS side-b is funnier tho.

What about against Peach?

 

[Superspright]

Fair her face in. lol.

delicious post, kk

Bair beats Marth's nair.

I think retreating uair can beat Falcon's nair (or contest)

Uair beats Peach's dair

Uair beats Peach's fair.

Well the basic rule on this is:
1. Jab
2. Ftilt
3. Uair

If youre trying to beat someone to the punch its most likely gonna be with one of these three moves.

Up-b beats everything if you're good enough.
