  • Ganondorf (SSBM)
rdfs:comment
  • Ganondorf (ガノンドロフ, Ganondorf) is in his original Gerudo form as he appears in the more recent installments of the series. His design is based on his appearance from the SpaceWorld demo, which is itself based on his appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Instead of using magic or swords like in The Legend of Zelda series, Ganondorf is a clone of Captain Falcon, and as such, he fights in a brawler style similar to Captain Falcon, except in a slower, but more powerful manner.

  • On the ground, Ganondorf rushes forward with his leg extended, dealing damage and relatively high knockback. In the air, he plummets to the ground at a sharp angle, during which the move can spike opponents. This move restores Ganondorf's midair jump, making it a useful move for horizontal recovery at long distances, especially with Ganondorf's lower falling speed.

  • Ganondorf performs a spinning double-kick attack in midair. Both kicks have high knockback and can deal very high damage when landed in succession, but it is extremely difficult to land the two kicks even at very low percentages, and impossible to land at percentages higher than 25% . With both kicks do conenct, it is the second strongest neutral aerial in the game .

  • Stomps both feet downwards, dealing a powerful electric effect. An extremely powerful meteor smash, and an excellent SHFFL option, with a massive hitbox that covers Ganondorf's entire body. It is the most powerful meteor smash in the game and is overall the most powerful aerial attack in the game. It is capable of setting up combos at low percentages when used against grounded opponents, and serves as a great finisher on grounded opponents at high percentages.

  • Does an overhead flipkick, covering a large arc upward. Knockback direction depends on which angle the foe was hit in. If Ganondorf is facing away from the opponent and the attack hits with the sourspot at the tip of his foot, the opponent will be semi-spiked, with low damage but extremely high hitstun.

  • Ganondorf turns his upper body in midair and performs a backhanded punch. This attack is fast and very powerful, good for edge-guarding, and has great range.

abstract
  • Ganondorf (ガノンドロフ, Ganondorf) is in his original Gerudo form as he appears in the more recent installments of the series. His design is based on his appearance from the SpaceWorld demo, which is itself based on his appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Instead of using magic or swords like in The Legend of Zelda series, Ganondorf is a clone of Captain Falcon, and as such, he fights in a brawler style similar to Captain Falcon, except in a slower, but more powerful manner. Currently, Ganondorf ranks 14th on the tier list, located in the E Tier. This is due to his extreme power, good reach, good chain throwing ability, surprising speed in some areas, having what is considered one of the best aerial games, great edge-guarding game, and having a matchup average of +1, while only having disadvantageous matchups against a five characters. However, he has some major flaws, such as his slow ground game, susceptibility to combos and chain throws, being so easily bogged down by fast attacks and projectiles, and being arguably the most vulnerable character to edge-guarding. Another major problem is the fact that three out of five of his disadvantageous matchups are against top tier characters (Falco, Fox, and Sheik). While he has some great strengths, his major flaws, especially the matchup problem against the top tiers, could be what keeps him from being in the higher tiers.
