I like how Ganondorf is completely different in the competitive and casual viewpoint. In competitive, he's probably the worst character, but in casual, he's a complete monster.

[@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.

[@mqrxhe]

The fact that you didn’t even go to losers bracket, you just won your way to the top.

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.

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.

[@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.
