today I went to my local super smash bros ultimate tournament and played ganondorf.
ganondorf is usually seen at the bottom of the tournament tier lists for smash bros ultimate because he really sucks in smash bros tournaments lol.

Ganon puts the fear of Losing to Ganon in their head. Once you won a set I could see Jarr visually out of the zone and more frustrated. Ness/Lucina can't do that! :)

[@doomedhero9579]

That's so true. When you realize you're about to lose to Ganon it can definitely shake you up a bit.

[@Spyder-Marth]

You know you are confident when you are willing to play a character, who many considers low tier, in a tournament. Epic gamer, Poppt1 is. The man won lol

[@clueless3120]

I feel like Ganon being bottom three doesn’t carry the same weight as in other games. He’s still very much able to do well in tournaments, even able to get decent results in big tournaments.

[@elmacho1336]

I feel like they really balanced the game well for once. Even Little Mac can do well despite his horrendous recovery, unlike in sm4sh

[@BoBnfishy]

So true

[@TheGameReview217]

Ultimate's worst characters are above and away better than any other game's worst character's, definitely including Ganon himself in Brawl. I think a great indicator is looking at the crazy difference in matchup spreads between the worst characters of every game. Ganon and the top three worst in this game can.. do something, which isn't as easy to say with the other Smash games.

I mean, you can become a master with Luigi and still be bamboozled by a rare matchup. It's really about the ability to adapt and come up with entirely new strategies mid-tournament, which is waaaay more difficult than Jordan makes it look. I think that's really one of his strengths.

[@EddiesOnHere]

Maybe I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure it's basically impossible to the the 0 to death on Ganon for some reason

[@willycheez7218]

Probably just a perfect combination of weight, fall speed and size. Similar to how the Byleth 0 to death only works on DK

[@MrSpeltinator]

You can't do the 0 to death on super heavyweights from 0%. It works but they have to be at like 20%

I think your adaptation is the main reason you did so well against Jarr. Lots of people just get frustrated and focus on their offense rather than changing their plans to win neutral.

A little clarification... Luigi's 0 to death is extremely difficult on ganondorf in particular. The way his hurtbox shifts and how large he is makes it extremely difficult to get sweet spot dair. Yes the matchup is garbage, but it's still a struggle to get the combos with luigi.

[@lexzm]

It was probably mental stamina. Ganon is scary, especially when the things that were working against him suddenly stop working and Ganon is supposed to be a bad character. Also he's probably not used to tournament level ganon and you had momentum to get a reverse 3-0 round, then 3stocked two more games. That would make anyone switch to a different character. Great job figuring out how to bully people with Ganon, I think that's what makes the character so hype; finally figuring out how to get in and wreck others after getting punted around at the start.
