It's just something I want to know. Since Ganondorf is almost a complete copy of the Caption(besides the final smash and etc.) Me personally, is Ganondorf. Besides being a copy off Capt. and may be slow, his strengh makes up for it

Your on a gannon page of course everyone here is going to say gannon (no offense) so try posting this in the captain falcon threads and see how many people say falcon their.

Oh and captain falcon is better because he is sexy with a capital FALCON PUNCH!!!!!!

lol they're not almost exactly alike, if at all. This isn't Melee.

At the moment, since the majority of Captain Falcon players are still trying to play him like Melee Falcon while Ganondorf players have generally moved on and started playing a different game than Melee Ganondorf, Ganondorf is better.

Yeah, ganon for sho'. Ganon has cancelable aerials, which actually brings his speed way up and makes him less punishable than the Captain. Plus ganon is the dawk lawd.

Ganon can combo better, weighs more, is more powerful, not that much slower with lag canceled aerials, his side-b owns, and he is the dark lord.

Ganon is a better character in my opinion, but then again I have spent more time with Ganon and seen way more good Ganons then I have Falcons.

Post this same thread on the Captain Falcon boards and you'll find a completely different set of answers.

Ganondorf is slightly better. Since he actually has kill options.

Despite the fact that C. Falcon has 10,000 times the adrenaline of a normal human male and nipple studs, Gdawg is still better. I think The Boot (sidetilt) is just as sexy as the Falcon Punch, if not sexier.

Brawl Ganondorf apparently fights better than Brawl Captain Falcon. Heck, he doesn't even have to use a smash attack to make KOs.

This is a tough one. I mained both in melee and I'm not a huge fan of either in brawl. Personally I think Ganondorf is better in brawl. Unlike Falcon, Ganon is at least playable. Not to mention his side-b is better and his d-air spike is still amazing.

Here's the deal:

Falcon is better VS Ganon, in my opinion. If you put them head to head, Falcon's playstyle gives him a slight advantage.

Ganon is better overall. He has more matchups in which he can compete. Falcon has close to none (Ganon being one of his few decent matchups. Decent, not phenomenal).

Ganon is "better." Falcon will generally beat Ganon if properly played, though. Personally, my Ganon ***** Falcons in my area, but my friends are really bad at the game so that's not saying much.

Ollimaru to short hop + dair without any landing lag you just do the dair command immediately after you short hop so the whole animation finishes before you land. you have to be really quick with your fingers to do this and it might take a bit of practice to get used to it.

something that might help you is sliding your right thumb from the jump button to the A button, because if you tap the two separately it doesn't input the command quickly enough.

Ahhh I see. Thanks for the speedy reply guys I appreciate the help big time!!! Would it be easier to slide to the c-stick right after jumping or would that still be too much time?? I'll have to work with it.

Thanks again!!!
