User blog:Poostanky!/How to beat: Ganondorf

Personally, Ganondorf to me is the king of DISRESPECT! When I play as Ganon, I spike, taunt, laugh, and Warlock Punch characters right in the rectum!

However, it is a new day. If you want to beat Ganondorf, and disrespect HIS RECTUM, now is your time.

I, today, will show you how to literally disrespect Ganondorf..........or simply just beat him.

Weaknesses of Ganondorf

 * High end and landing lag on attacks. Even start up on some.
 * Slow air and ground speed.
 * Poor grab game.
 * Heavyweight; easy to hit and combo.
 * Relies on too much tech chases for good follow ups.
 * Not good against zoning, faster, and camping characters.

Strengths of Ganondorf

 * A powerhouse on ALL attacks.
 * Great, and one of the best edge-guarders in the game.
 * Hard to KO, able to exceed past 200% due to heavyweight, and also depending on which direction he is launched.
 * His attacks can pretty much render your shield being broken.
 * High knock back on nearly all of his attacks.

How to disrespect
One way of how I discovered on how to avoid it is to zone with projectiles, but for people with no projectiles, I got you covered. You must SPIKE HIM, or just attack from above. Even Little Mac can do it!
 * Pressure him with speedy and projectile characters. Pit/Dark Pit is a good example, since he has decent speed and projectiles for keeping him back. Sheik is also a good example, but it is up to you on who to pick.
 * "Flame Choke" is a move that chokes you with his burning dark magic. On the ground, when you get caught, this is hard, but you must tech his choke if you don't want to get caught by his true follow ups, like down tilt, otherwise, it will be a stock if you get caught.
 * Also, some characters don't have to tech, as they won't get caught by some of his confirms, like Captain Falcon or Zero Suit Samus.
 * His "Flame Choke" when used for recovery, you must AVOID it when trying to edge guarding him. If you don't, and you get caught for being reckless with guarding, you will get spiked (spikes don't need to have a hotbox, like this move when he grabs you from the air and into the pits), and YOU will die first, always. You cannot recover from this move.
 * When he is using his main recovery, gimping is the key, especially with disjoints, cause he can use his primary recovery again if Ganon get's you with it.
 * Ganondorf does not really have good range, that is why disjoints is your main key and attraction in order to beat him.
 * DO NOT CHALLENGE HIS WARLOCK PUNCH, unless you are choosing to counter or grab. His Warlock Punch has super armor, nearly through out the whole punch animation, probably even more frames. This move can kill you under 40%. For some people, he can kill at 16% without rage, and in the middle of the stage! Just dodge it, and then punish. You will be safe!
 * Up-Tilt has lot's of start up lag, no super armor, and considerable end lag. Feel free to punish this on stage if you want. You will be safe no matter what. HOWEVER....this move can break shields on contact! No matter how much your shield health is! IT WILL BREAK IF YOU GET HIT! He may use this move while you are recovering. Get to the ledge quick while he is using this move. If he gets you at mid to high percent, you is dead!
 * Jigglypuff mains must be careful! If your shield breaks, it is an instant KO.
 * D-Air is the strongest spike in the game. Avoid it by either have a counter that allows you to disappear, such as Lucario and Greninja, or you can be safe with an attack that has invincibility, super armor, or even intangible frames, like Clouds Limit Break Multi-Slash or his Final Touch.
 * Let Ganon lose his stock if chooses to go in the air and use Down-B, "Wizard Kick". If you read it correctly, you can air dodge, counter, or use a recovery like Palutena's warp and Mewtwo's Up-B. This can also be used for his D-Air.

That is all for today. Hopefully, you guys disrespect him instead of him getting to you! Trust me, this guide that I made will help you, as it has helped me and even other people. I know you can't just trust anyone on the internet, but this guide works! You have your own free will to trust me or not. Anyway, enjoy, and beat Ganon until he Warlock Punches himself.

Maxo-Daxo, out for today.
