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.

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.

[@Diamond_Aura]

18:05 This is “Deepest Edgeguards in Smash Ultimate” material for YEET Smash

[@andrewtaylor5883]

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.

[@brendanpowell532]

Don’t attack my boy Jarr like that. That man is a lad

[@Nat_the_Chicken]

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.

Poppt1 just got to say your adaptation is amazing

[@remmelz]

A lot of times when your opponent would get too aggressive and hit your shield, you would try and punish them with a forward tilt which is very slow and they could easily shield it. That’s a good opportunity to try Gabon’s side B to mix it up. If they shield, it would grab them. It’s a punishable move for sure, but I don’t think I saw you use it once in any of the sets. I don’t actually know what I’m talking about though and love all your content! :)

[@Doog4321]

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. You playing so many games against Jarr let you get in his head lol. That's what makes you the world's second best ganon ;)
