Dark Dive

Dark Dive is the Up B attack used by Ganondorf in Super Smash Bros. Melee. It's similar to Captain Falcon's Falcon Dive, but instead of the opponent getting hurt by fire, they will be zapped by dark magic/electricity if Ganondorf connects with them. It is also different because if another person comes by, they will be shocked and knocked back (3% damage). Like the Falcon Dive, Ganondorf can grab a ledge at the peak height of this move when facing the other direction. This helps to sweet spot and to keep Mario players from caping.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Ganondorf can grab opponents with his Dark Dive, but if the move is followed through completely, Ganondorf ends with a dark punch. In addition, Ganondorf can now grab opponents hanging onto the ledge.

The Dark Dive has weaker knockback in Brawl. The move is also capable of destroying targets in Target Smash!! when his body comes in contact with the target.
