What's the Difference between Captain Falcon and Ganondorf? (SSBU)

Captain Falcon and Ganondorf undeniably have similar movesets.
But does Ganondorf still deserve to be called a "clone"?
Just how different are they? Let's find out! DORIYAH!

I suffered through *so many* technical difficulties while making this video. Ends up I had to replace the HDMI cord leading to the capture card (I'm just glad the card itself isn't faulty). There were things I had to cut just because the footage was unusable. So, please forgive the obvious things missing like not having a clip of Ganondorf's midair Warlock Punch, among a couple of other things. I've got things fixed now, so the next video should be better quality! Anyway, things are a bit crazy in the world right now, so I hope y'all stay safe and healthy. :)

[@GBDupree]

@@mrvespuccia.k.ameganite1747 True, BUT the sword Ganon uses in TP isn't visually consistent in a way. Its a sword of light, so someone seeing him wield that in Smash and hasn't played TP may be confused. Moreover, that sword wouldn't be very good at doing what his Doriyah sword does, since its a smaller sword like a rapier. And Sakurai wanted the Zelda characters to be visually distinct from the previous game and use more designs from the series history (Zelda representing the classic 2D games, Ganon the 3D ones, and Link the new era of open world games that just started), so his OoT design was the best fit because that was GanonDORF's first appearance (before that game it was just Ganon) as well as the most popular 3D Zelda. But doesn't Ganon wield a weapon in his Phantom Ganon appearance in that one fight, as well as his final fight where you play tennis with him? I think it might have been a Trident though (it's been awhile). However, people have been clamoring for Sakurai to give him a sword, so I think what he did was a great middle ground with all this (and the sword is a good design for Ganondorf I think). However I think that maybe a trident could take its place just fine in the next game (if there will be one) and I think that might make people happier. But I think people might be happy with his moveset in this game, its a fun one that has made him very popular while still referencing his history and personality. Although I've heard some people still don't like it, but I really don't think it needs fixing, maybe just make a few visual changes to make it feel more like him. Like the moves are essentially the same but have some new additions to please people who like the moveset and those that want something different. So I think maybe have his Down B on the ground could create a Phantom Horse like what he rode in the Phantom Ganon fight (perhaps so that it doesn't create too big a hitbox they could make it more like an effect of magic rather than a full sized horse he rides, so it could be he is engulfed in the magic flames as a semi-transparent horse head leads the charge, kinda like the Falcon in the Falcon Punch I suppose). And his Up B could be redone to more resemble what he does when he throws the balls of lightning in the final fight with him in OoT, while still retaining elements of his current one. First he leaps like he does now, except he thrusts his Trident up as he ascends, and can still grab people with the trident (and if he grabs someone he can still ascend with them unlike now) then at the peak of his jump he swings the trident throwing a lightning ball towards the ground, and if he grabbed the enemy then he throws them instead. And he could have much better control in the air at the peak of his jump like he is floating for a short time. Then his Jab should have a larger hitbox with a magic wind effect (more for visual, since it would likely be too strong if he could send windboxes with every jab) that can shock opponents but isn't too strong. This is referencing his waves of evil energy or whatever it was that he does to Link in the cutscene before his fight in OoT, which I'm pretty sure the Jab is referencing anyways. But I think the Aerials should maybe be made different overall (except the FAir and DAir which are too good and iconic, but DAir could at least be a different animation but the same move). But anyways, those are my thoughts on what can be made different, but I think its good enough already.

Or how Chrom makes no sense with him literally appearing in Robin's final smash and even victory screen sometimes, which feels super strange. Or how Palutena's guidance was updated for Piranha Plant, yet none of the previous 5 new fighters (Plant was obviously finished and was just delayed to advertise the DLC). Or how the right platform on Pokemon Stadium 1 is slightly angled all of a sudden, which is clearly just a mistake. Yeah the game should have been updated post release beyond characters

[@thelavaslug5465]

@@petery6432 Yeah I know, but since that Sword has only been used in one game, and the rest of his swords are also exclusive to one game, I still feel like he should use his recurring trident. Or maybe revert Ganondorf to his Twilight Princess design with sword and magic fighting style and then make Pig Ganon his own character using the trident.

[@thelavaslug5465]

@@flamingpaper7751 Yeah, I definetly agree with you there. While I am satisfied with Ultimate overall, it just feels like it could have used a few more months of development time to flesh out the clones and make them feel more distinct. Also, I still find the Chrom situation really stupid. Like, would it have that hard replacing the Chrom in Robins moveset with someone like Lissa or Tharja?!

[@andrewt329]

To this day I still don't see why Ganondorf has yet to be given his own built from the ground up move-set. Rushing him in Melee has basically ruined him for the entire series. Just add in a second F-Zero character with Ganon's old move-set if you've gotta have it so much it's worth ruining an iconic character forever.

[@benhuang2773]

Because changing too much would have meant creating an exception to "Everyone is Here." And how many people actually _care_ about the F-Zero cast? Current Ganondorf mains don't just want to keep the moveset, they want to keep the moveset on a Zelda series character.

[@orangeslash1667]

The reason I main Ganondorf is because he is so read heavy. I've taken a-many stocks with JUST 3-5 hits.

[@-creev]

Personally, I'm fine with Ganon being a pseudo clone of Falcon. Yeah it would be tight if he had his own original moveset, but I've grown to love this slow but heavy hitting Gerudo with a big ass sword.

[@darkpit456]

When you make a copy cat character, you make them from the same series! Why would you mix two different characters from two completely different series? All of the echo fighters or fighters like Pichu, Dr. Mario, Young Link, and Toon Link are from the same series. The Legend of Zelda is a game series about Wizards, magic spells, fairies, emeralds, and an evil and dark lord called Ganondorf and Link has to stop him with any light weapons and F-Zero is all about death racing, bounty hunting, and the one and only Captain Falcon.

[@jimjam1556]

Ganon was a last minute addition to melee, a game that was already incredibly rushed. Falcon had a similar character model to Ganon (both tall humanoids) and so they just copied his moveset and tweaked it. Even Falcon himself was a product of time saving; in 64 Falcon was only added as a means of re-using the assets from the original demo build that just had generic fighters, which is why Falcon in smash has almost nothing to do with his home series either.

I say that Captain Falcon's Dad should get a reworked moveset but Black Shadow get added into the next game and uses Captain Falcon's Dad's old moveset.

[@Wings_Of_Nightfall]

Fun fact: In 4 and Brawl, Ganondorf could use his Volcano Kick on top of a rolling crate and fly forward at an incredible speed, being a hard to hit but insanely epic combo. When items were changed to not be affected by his Volcano Kick's windbox, he sadly lost that ability.

[@jamiegioca9448]

Ganon went from 'Slow Cptn. Falcon" to "Slow Cptn. Falcon with a bigass sword"

[@mariapilgrim7399]

Ganon has the same moves and Captain Falcon but different I'm so finally glad someone brought this up

[@TheGreatPM1]

It's pretty disappointing that Ganondorf is basically an echo fighter to Captain Falcon. Sure they try to change him more over time but more than half of their movesets stays the same. I hope in Smash 6, they will change his moveset to make him more different than Captain Falcon but knowing Sakurai, he probably won't do that

[@TotPocket]

"Up tilt leaves Ganondorf vulnerable" Dude is just begging to get hit in the Doriyahs the way he picks his leg up

[@Sgt-Wolf]

Ok to cover what you missed about there final smashes. Captain falcons final smash is just a generic flashy super but ganondorfs can do two things the obvious one is he charges into everyone in front of him knocking them back and killing if at high enough damage. And the second thing he can do is at the start he swings his swords down which acts as a powerful spike that acts as a powerful edge guarding tool.

[@dragonnest7811]

[@somedudewhodraws9377]

If u wanna go into the technical side of it Ganondorf and Falcon share the same Wire frame Models. In fact Ganondorfs model is just Falcons reworked with newer animations from all the way back to the Melee days. Its a way for the DEVS to save time especially as Mario and Luigi also share the same Wire Frame Models and fox along with Falco.

[@dextra_24703]

Ganon should have at least the light ball attack from his boss fight in Oot, it is an iconic thing of the Zelda franchise and not seeing something like that be in a moveset of a Zelda character is really sad.

[@GothicSoldier9000]

I'd actually be fine with Ganondorf keeping some of his moves as long as they acted differently from CF. 1. His specials could be compacted together from the last game like how Palutena got it. Double press Warlock Punch to get the Thrust with quicker startup and bigger area with smaller damage. Hold Flame Choke to get Flame Wave with more range and safer multi-hitting hitboxes. Hold Dark Five to get the super armored one without the grab but a stronger punch. Hadouken input the Wizard Foot to get the Dropkick that jumps up on the ground and goes at a much less steep angle midair (give him his jump back too). 2. Give his up tilt pure horizontal knockback and give it medium armor. Reduce the end lag of his weaker ground attacks. Speed up his initial dash. These are just ideas, but he needs more than just to be slightly decloned. He'd be more fun at the casual level and more competitive as well while having his own flavor.
