DecidueyeDestruction56 New Usmash is better in almost every way. It’s got massive range, coverage, still extremely powerful and even fast. Since it covers front, above, and even behind Ganondorf, Usmash is useful for many situations: punishing rolls, landings, ledge options, and even jumps.

If they tech roll behind, F-Smash works as well
I’ve found a pretty decent launching combo that does ~50%: -jump into the air (while they are on the ground) and down air them. Works best around 50%, as they will get launched well enough -when you land on the ground, forward smash in their direction (quick, no charge) and it will launch them really far

Great piece of Ganon tech, when in top corner *AND FACING THE STAGE* you can often use down-b to mix up your recovery. Don't spam it though, they tend to read it after a few times.

A combo I'd like to leave here is when you down air on stage and hit, you can up smash and you'll hit them a lot of the time if there in good percentage. Most people I've gone against don't have the reaction time to counter it Light 20-30% Mid weight 30-40% And heavy is about 40-50%

Thank you! Been looking for a new main for awhile and I wanted to try Ganon!

I assume you've swapped to Steve/Enderman?
Ganon's best move is his forward tilt because at the edge you can say "THIS IS SPARTA!"
Ganondorfs Up B is one of his best edgeguarding tools. It has a lot of range, and offstage, it has ridiculous kill power. And when you hit someone with it offstage, you bounce backwards and dont go into freefall, so you can recover again.
Just remember one thing and you'll be fine. "DOORIYAH!"

As a Gannon main he has this wrong Spam forward smash
Thanks for this, I’m a new Gannon main
One thing I like to do with Ganon is to flame choke and then read a forward roll. You can just run back a little bit to make sure getup attack doesn't hit you, then sideB again or downB to get them from their forward roll. This will condition them to roll behind you. I never punish the backwards roll until they're at kill percent, because I want them to keep doing it. Then when I get a flame choke at kill percent, turn around and Fsmash them. If you're playing against people who know you'll try this trick it won't work, but when people aren't sure what kind of mind games you'll play, this works almost all the time.

Yep it's really fun to do actually. Sometimes people get really predictable and you can zero death them with some chokes and an F smash
Yay he really made this Video😁👍 thanks
I’d also like to point out that down throw to neutral air is a true combo at low percentages against most characters. At medium percentages, down air spiking on stage true combos with up smash.
I’m here pretty early, but I can still tell this video will be great!
"a whopping 7ft 6in tall...ladies" I died XD
Finally! An actual GUIDE, and not a TEXTBOOK keep it up!
I would generally say that down-tilt after side-b is most effective unless the f-tilt would surely kill, and up to a certain percent, it is more likely you can follow up in the air for more damage or perhaps a stock. Use it at ledge, not in neutral.
My fav Gannon combo is Side B into down tilt then forward smash. It kills everytime
Thank you, now I know how to beat a Ganondorf! >:3
Long Live the King!
This was really helpful
Great video!
I think you meant to switch "earlier" and "later" when you were talking about DA. Also crossing up with DA is great because it sets up for sh bair, sh reverse uair, and turnaround ftilt/jab.
Looking back on this I realize when playing gandon it all a waiting game

Thanks for the tips
Warlock Punch from the match starting point kills heavyweight at 47%
Ganon strat: whenever you see them charging the first 3 or so times you do side-b, a good player will start to adapt to that, and on the 4th do a doriyah. Most people just run into it anticipating the side b and die at 50 if they aren't ready to di it.
Ganons side b combos into down smash as well, it’s very effective for damage, but not to knock them out since you usually knock them towards the middle of the stage
For Throws at low percent: DOWN Throw>Short Hop nair fast fall(immediately after 2nd kick)>Dash attack>Full jump Up Air>(read: example air dodge read= fast fall charge up smash
I personally think that dash attack is the optimal move to use out of flame choke, as it covers tech in place and tech roll away from you, but you will need to read your opponent if they are the sort to tech properly. You may want to tech chase them with a flame choke behind you or wizard’s foot. If they miss a tech, you can possibly try to use down smash or forward smash behind you to hard read them. Aerial wizard choke is untechable, but you have a little bit more lagging lag in using it, so the best way to use it is to go for a hard read tech chase situation.

No if you get the read from side-b into reverse smash is just the best
I wish Ganondorf had a moveset change to accurately represent his appearance from ocarina of time.
I wish Ganon wasn't evil. Everyone needs another dad.
Do shulk next please my brother needs it
Nice thing about Ganon areal down-b, if you hit you opponent with the first frame of the attack, it spikes
Ahhh oh my God oh it's just ganondorf dealing 20 damage with a quick f smash. OH MY GAWD
Nice captain falcon guide
Could you possibly do Toon Link? I've been wanting to get better with him and it would be nice to have the video
In my opinion ganon can be adapted against every player. Depends on your play style and enemy reading. You gotta faint allot( pretend to attack) against really fast opponents. Although he is slow.. you can make him faster
You had a cold while recording this video, didn't you? Great vid btw
Very nice video. Are you that's knowledgeable about olimar as well? I'd love to hear your take on this weird, underplayed but fun to play character. Cheers
@pepsicola6634
5 жыл бұрын
Not as underplayed as Marth or Shulk
Aight definitely late but eh, a few things i noticed as a ganon main, 1. If you hit down b from the air and your opponent shields, it breaks like 90% of your shield so it's a nice shield breaker sometimes. Also if if you hit wizards foot at the leftmost part of the foot it spikes diagonally opposite of where it usually spikes to. 2. Down air can be followed up by down b at lower percents (around 20-35 if i remembered correctly). 3. Dash attack is amazing since you can follow it up with either up air or f-air, and even nair at low to mid percents 4. Flame choke can has a lot of viable options to follow up with, as mentioned in the video, jab and f tilt, but u could also follow up with short hop dair and as of the recent patch slightly easier to do it with down smash. 5. If you go past an opponent with dash attack you could follow up sometimes with bair, up smash and if the opponent air dodged away, with flame choke 6. Dark dive is a nice mix up as an out of shield option and several players also use dark dive off ledge comboing into flame choke. 7. Volcano kick sends you upwards if you get caught mid air, and sends you diagonally downwards if you catch someone on a platform, though significantly weaker. Anyways that's just me blabbering, I dont know how accurate what i say is since i just started playing smash like 5 months ago and only picked up ganondorf about 2-3 months ago but eh, it's what i notice and maybe some of you other ganon mains might be able to use this

Ah and a last second catch up, ganon's toe hit from the up air can send someone diagonally down insanely fast that sometimes it's untechable and it just confirms you into a dash attack or something.
i just wanted to say around 20-30% you can also do down air into upsmash
I do that ganon side so much its so savage
Ridley
His up special, dark dive, can actually kill of they're at a good percent and towards the top or even upper middle area on certain characters or just high enough percent
I would appreciate it if you did Sheik next week Choctopus please and thank you.
Ima leave this here a few tips for ganondorf when onstage many of his attacks are good at any time but some are better then others off stage forward air is good for stoping them from getting back on stage as well as down air to spike em and remember f smash is a good attack for killing them when they are at high percents
@funni_noises

Also if the the enemy is very offensive to use neutral airs and down air works on stage as well dash attacks to n air works well against heavy characters try to be as offensive as possible and pressure them
Don't you mean how to forward smash?
You could step on Bowser's head to jump further
Love ganon coming from being a bowser main. One hit KOd a wolf on his final stock using the 180 neutral.
Personally I like to down throw in neutral air. Something about it just seems so satisfying.
OLD MANANDORF. I just housed two Big Macs and a chocolate shake. I'm about to go online and beat some Toon Links with Warlock punches everywhere.
For some reason when I'm hank Gannon volcano kick happens at random times and gets me punished. Any tips to fix this?
Belmont holy water vs triforce ganon
Please do a video on captain falcon
You can basically juggle with ganons up b attack because he can still do his second jump after he lands with the up b
“Aginst little Mac it’s perfect” what isn’t?
You didn't mention any of the extra properties the aerial down special has. If you hit early on in the aerial attack animation the attack has a meteor effect. Later on in the animation it launches upwards if it hits, and the landing has a small shockwave around him. All useful things to keep in mind as a Ganondorf player, even if you don't use the move too often.
Lets see my boy Toon Link next!
If I somehow haven't killed my opponent by the time dark dive is at kill percent, I'll use it on platform stages like BF to get through shielding opponents occasionally.
I always do this: Down air, Down smash, chase them off the ledge, try to spike with down air, if that does not work edge guard with up tilt or do a suicide side B
For a "Ganoncide" side special, remember they can mash out of it at low percent!!!! So, generally this strategy is best at 60% or more.
When will you release more characters for this channel? I’d like to know every character. Ganondorf is my main
Cover R.O.B. next please
Can you do Ridley next. Also even though no one really uses it, can you include the pummel?
Up special if you hit someone at the end where Ganondorf spins, it kind of punches them and deal damage
Punch is 36%, pivot punch is 44.4%, air punch is 45.6%, and air pivot punch is 48%.
Thank you for helping me start out ganon, really helped
