Smash History: How Light got destroyed by the worst character in the Game

[@mrjollyguy25]

This set alone made people put Ganon as a mid tier on every tier list, 2019 was wild

[@asuuki2048]

I honestly think that Smash Ultimate is one of the hardest games to make a tierlist for. Not because of how many characters it has, but because of just how well even the supposed worst character in the game can play.

[@chimderahokigbo5229]

[@raulrivadeneira4973]

​@@asuuki2048I always tell people that I like ultimate because of that, because even the worst character has something broken under their sleeves. Unlike Melee to Sm4sh, where low to mid tiers had no chance against top tiers.

[@UnderworldGrim]

You know Light went home and ran 100 sets against Ganon.

[@ceo3238]

A lot of smash players dont respect ganon, and it makes him the perfect counterpick to a cocky player. If an opposent isnt respecting you, you can obliterate them with ganon.

[@isaacramire3]

I love playing Ganondorf, he's just so fun to play as and he can really take a stock in 2 or 3 hits on stage.

[@DanBlabbers]

Yeah I basically main ganon and his uptilt has a vacuum effect that works really well for ledge trapping actually and it demolishes shields. I main him since brawl and it’s really frustrating when you feel the limitations but when you wreck it’s absolutely glorious

[@isaacramire3]

Lol when they air dodge or upb into it makes it worth playing Ganon. I'm a link main but over time I feel like Ganon is my new main.

[@LaztheLax]

I've always just liked his Jab. It's funny to time it on people. Lol

[@speedude0164]

As a Ganon main that's exactly how it is for me. It's really hard to land a hit when the opponent plays patiently, but if they rush in for an attack and miss, they're in for a world of hurt.

[@Misteryang]

Noticed how buddy stopped spamming taunt buttons once ganon put him in check

[@funx24X7]

Perfect use of the element of surprise by picking a character so notoriously bad that nobody has any practice against them

[@coolshirtkid]

jesus christ light was so good even back then, regardless of how this set went, he was playing absolutely insane those first two matches. people still can’t play fox like that

[@rexbot2749]

the Gannon pick makes sense honestly. Gannon's simpler punishes and better return out of winning neutral with a good read are valuable traits in a character. Given how the meta was a lot more simpler then Gannondorf was a safer pick. It's still a ludicrous pick, but given how nairo was playing that entire time, he simply needed more reward off of his fewer neutral wins.

[@ConfusedGeriatric]

Good analysis. That plus the comeback psychology factor had light shook, ganon thrives on opponent making mistakes and light was feeling the nerves (not playing optimally)

[@LetmeLive1985]

​@ConfusedGeriatric bro, I hate playing Gannon, you make one wrong move and it is over😂

[@biggiecheese2004]

@@LetmeLive1985 unfortunately, Ganon absolutely curbstomps anyone that tries to scrap. it’s lame but you have to little mac treatment him where you play very very slow until you win a neutral exchange (which you will eventually because his neutral is so bad due to only having a few good moves in it and very poor movement) and then you absolutely buttfuck him in his disadvantage state until you either kill him off an edge guard or reset neutral and just do it all over again. this is why he and especially Mac needs a rework, it’s not fun for either player when you play the matchup optimally because they are horribly designed. Especially little mac

[@siinxx7656]

​@@biggiecheese2004hahaha the buttfucking while your enemy is weak tho

[@CipherKnighto]

@@biggiecheese2004much less Ganondorf than little mac. Ganondorf is easier to scrap because of his ass frame data. With any character in the game it’s natural to be careful of how zealous you get in terms of fighting. But as someone who has experience in both matchups I feel like I have less of a reason to camp Ganondorf that heavy and have fun dismantling him

[@mikaelv2085]

I used Ganandorf all the time. Didn’t know he was considered the worst

[@Luceloupgarou]

I mean, Fox is at kill percent at like 50-60% vs Ganon, and Nairo is one of the best players to capitalize on this. Ganon only needs to make two or three good reads/hits to kill Fox, and Fox can only tank like one good hit on shield at a time because of how hard Ganon hits, not to mention the flame choke. So yeah, I can see how it can go to shit real fast if you're playing a feather light character vs a perfectly played Ganon.

[@minty9880]

Plus you can't even really exploit ganons biggest weakness since fox edgeguards are pretty weak so you usually have to do a lot of damage when you can't really afford to get hit offstage or take much damage yourself.

[@beanbot3801]

@@minty9880I’ve seen fox players use nair and shine off stage, but if they miss it, the fox player is dead. It’s really risky but I feel like you gotta take the risk against Ganon offstage even if you’re playing a charcter who isn’t good at edge guarding, because a rage heavy is one of the scariest characters to fight against. But then again I don’t play fox cause that character is stressful as hell.
