Love how moving with heavyweights feels fast with foxtrotting, but the actual hits still have those momentary hitstun pauses to really give a feeling of impact. It's great.

[@skatingpancakes]

"dedede is heavy but ganon, look at those arms"

arent all the heavies are quicker though? thats like a change they did on purpose isnt it

[@fleecejohnson5259]

@Brebgon Bowser and Ridley are the only scariest heavies in the game due to the speed mechanics. Especially Bowser .

[@connorsarkissian3095]

Fleece Johnson don't tell me Ganon ain't scary.

[@wpower7435]

@@connorsarkissian3095 He is scary but honestly, I'll be more scared of a fast moving tank reptile Bowser sprinting towards me, than Ganon. It's impressive for his size after all Bowser is the heaviest fighter in the entire game that's a fact.

[@frankpro53]

Does Big D know about Inhale reflecting? There were so many situations where he could've inhaled his Gordos and spit them back at Ganon with no repercussions.

[@petercottantail7850]

I think he had to preemptively prepare to reflect, frame 5 suck is fast but reaction time is limited at close quarters

[@reiverdaemon]

@@petercottantail7850 that's true but there were plenty of times where he either had enough space, or opted to sit in shield instead.

[@PengyDraws]

At first I thought he was saving it to catch his opponent off guard.

[@Blue__Oni]

Its a risky move, takes too long to activate

[@frankpro53]

@@Blue__Oni Not really. Inhale had a lot of start up and endlag shaved off from it. It can be better used in the neutral now. Not only that, Dedede can act out of reflecting surprisingly fast.

[@hopoutattheafterparty6245]

I love what they did with Ganon in Ultimate. All those years in the abyss as a Ganon main, I feel as if justice was finally served for him.

[@residentfacehead3465]

One thing both gannons and dededes can agree on. Smash 4 was hell

I like ganondorf for one reason. And it's his new sword. It awesome

14:19 for ganoncide.

[@Madchimpz]

As a Ganondorf main, Dedede is one of my hatest match ups. The entire match is just fighting Gordos.

[@JunDageki]

What i don't get is why use Gordos so much, i main DDD and i think that's unecessary, it's a good move but DDD has many other great moves that work on stage, the only time i use it is to edge guard and maybe just maybe catch an opponent off guard.

[@imdvs7506]

JunDageki because its constant pressure. Not using gordo means a much weaker neutral

[@urmomizhere]

"git gud"

I love dedede but I was rooting for Ganon hard in game 1 hahaha good shit good comeback

[@reiverdaemon]

Big D would've caught Verma off guard so much if he mashed A(to relaunch them back) after sending out the Gordos. Verma reflected most of them and took advantage off the hitback.

[@Beancent_]

Could have also used his neutral special

DDD is relatively unchanged from his game plan in 4 but with improved and more options so smash 4 ddd's cleaning house with what is essentially just an upgraded smash 4 ddd

Ethen Jones K rool is Noob stomper. Other that that he’s better than average

[@HugoSoup57]

MAJJASTAK Not true actually, most of the heavies are actually pretty good in this game and from what I heard, most of them found some good results in tournaments. Bowser, DK, K. Rool are really viable. Ganondorf is pretty good, mid tier at worst. King Dedede and Incineroar might need some buffs though, but overall, I think overall, heavyweights look really promising this time around, unlike last game, where the only viable heavies were like Bowser and DK.

[@FrenchFry]

9:48 dedede can cancel the slamming down of his up-b if you press jump or tilt the stick up I believe.

I don't get how ganon's down-b, which has an active hitbox for almost the entire duration, can still get hit by a gordo without knocking it back. I don't know if it's a bug or not, but it sure looks super glitchy.

[@spaceonisorceress4406]

Honestly I feel like if they met in the right circumstances, D3 and Ganon could be friends...

[@zakattk001]

Can anybody explain why Big D didn't try to "succ n cucc" Ganon more when Dedede was off stage and Ganon was right on the edge guarding it? Is it easily punishable? I'm a Dedede main and when fighting Ganon online I feel like at the least that always eases the ledge pressure some

[@calebs3792]

Big D should use down B at the edge once Ganon loses the edge invincibility, because down B hits at the ledge, and at high percentages he wouldn't even have to charge it.

[@slaughtered_your_mom]

14:19 *Meta*

[@SuperPidove]

A little upsetting watching the Ganon player. Versus DDD there are a LOT of damage opportunities out of grab, and I hardly saw him try to grab DDD even after knowing DDD's main way to handle the neutral was to shield against his nairs. Could've thrown in some grab mixups.
