Can I Finally Get Ganondorf into Elite Smash?

As a Ganon trying to get into Elite smash that young link is my sleep paralysis demon. At 16:31 Hop has the absolutely terrifying realisation every Ganon has when they're playing against some dicky little projectile champ. At 16:51 Hopcat has entered into Ganons last life, down a life. This stance is known as ultra instinct. From here on out, every Ganon close your eyes and listen to the controller clicks of someone who is breaching the realm of the gods. 17:32. Ecstasy.

[@nomanm.5884]

Ganon's one of the easiest characters to get into elite smash. As long as you have platforms on you shouldn't struggle if you're even half-committed to getting there. He gets shat on the moment he's in elite but on quickplay it's not that hard to play with him.

[@minirant5270]

You've got 2 things wrong. 1. You've assumed I'm half decent at the game. Bold assumption. 2. Having platforms on isn't manly and is therefore not a viable option for Ganon mains.

[@nomanm.5884]

@@minirant5270 having platforms is the manliest option. You have the ability to stand menacingly on one as the opponent fails to spam their projectiles. It's the true sign of dominance

[@epistarter1136]

thisisnotmyrealname I thought having platforms were bad for ganon especially against zoners, the outcome of those last two matchups (zelda and link) would've changed if there were platforms

[@nomanm.5884]

@@epistarter1136 bruh, never play with Ganondorf without platforms. It's suicide to not set it as your preferred rules. At least on platforms he can cheese people when they're directly above him with upsmash or up air.
