[@basedsteez]

Ganon and falcon are not really even a mirror match anymore if you ask me. Ganon has a very similar move set but instead of combo food he just punishes super early instead. It usually ends up being a punish game for Ganon while falcon can combo so many different moves into one another without having to rely on an opening.

@@ogreaggressuv Yeah, I frequently use volcano kick at the ledge, but warlock punch should never be used unless you break a shield. Even with its super armor you need pure luck to land it.

About 1/5 more so he can get in faster -give late u-air spike properties again -dark dive can hit crouching opponents -dark dive recovery after landing on opponents better (tech check less likely to happen in response) -stun on down throw increased and less knockback -increase stun on neutral air first attack Thoughts?

[@brandondennis5166]

Wizkick... it only looses to everything.

[@AlterRequiem]

I know Rickles is really good, so I wish I saw more offstage play earlier on in these games. Falcon is just as susceptible to getting rock-crocked as Ganon is, so challenging his recovery with dropzone Nair is pretty good in this matchup. For the first 8 or so games, he mainly U-tilted at ledge or tried reading getup and ledgetrapping with Fair (which is good but it didn't really start working out until around game 10). Either way, Fatality got back to stage relatively for free for basically the first 8-ish games. Besides that, games were sick. Gotta love the Father/Son matchup lmao.

[@pandinus1377]

Going offstage is risky on its own if ganon gets up b by falcon he has to tech or he loses the stock And even if he gets the tech falcon can just hit him straight back So unless you are 100% going offstage just isn't worth it

[@AlterRequiem]

@@pandinus1377 I'm well aware. I think rickles is good enough to tech 95% of stage spikes. Hell, I retired from ultimate and I can still hit the tech on falcon/ganon up B super consitently. Its the easiest stage spike in the game to tech. Not to mention if you DO tech, you get a guaranteed punish, as ganon and falcon get stuck in animations (also known as rock crocking). This usually finishes them off. Its more rewarding than anything once you know how to tech it.

[@rubberduck8096]

Yo, this Ganondorf's frame data is insane! Oh wait, that's Captain Falcon...

It's cool how they added Black Shadow to Smash so that Falcon can finally have his hype battle with his arch nemesis. Not sure why they gave him a sword though. Now all we need is for Link to be able to fight his arch nemesis! Wouldn't that be cool? I'm surprised they haven't added Ganondorf to the game yet, especially how important the Legend of Zelda is to the Nintendo franchise.

[@CommentBlewUp]

As much as I want fatality to win you still gotta respect and cheer for any ganon

[@Gankstomper]

Yes let's respect the character that is the easiest to pick up and play. The character that requires 0 combos or execution and always has the "but I'm bottom tier" excuse when he loses. Makes no sense.

@@teeby2037 Absolutely idiotic thing to say. All I did was state objective facts about the character. Ganons are basically free wins for me, and anyone else that knows how to properly edgeguard and have some patience. That has nothing to do with the skill or execution required to play him It seems like you just don't like what I said and had to make something up to feel better about it. You a Ganon player?

[@teeby2037]

[@Gankstomper]

@@teeby2037 No, it doesn't seem like that. You're legitimately making it up. You're telling me it's just impossible for anyone to analyze a character without being upset about losing to them? That's just stupid bro. Based on your random assumption it's pretty safe for me to assume you're just salty about me stating facts and not very smart

[@GawainSSB]

Hard to say what it would take to bring Ganon back to even Melee levels of viability. But if they can elevate Falcon as much as they have, Ganon could at least make mid tier with a good patch I think. Theyll never buff his movement, but if they sped up his up b it would give him some desperately needed defensive options.

[@JesseDumontt]

4:43 Wait. That downthrow to reverse upair is obviously true, but the bair forces the airdodge, which is a frame trap into a dair (which he could've done there in hindsight).
