Ganondorf (ガノンドロフ, Ganondorofu) is an unlockable character in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. First depicted in the Zelda universe, Ganondorf is the main villain in the Zelda series and beings as a member of the Subspace Army in The Subspace Emissary. As a fighter, Ganondorf is one of the strongest, heaviest, and slowest characters in the game. While the majority of his attacks are very slow, they are also have incredibly powerful knockback, giving him a wide array of KO moves. His fighting style relies on single, powerful moves as he lacks any natural combos and all but one of his attack hit only once with high knockback. This makes Smash DIing rather ineffective against Ganondorf. However, the strength of his attacks is countered by their relatively slow speed, as well as Ganondorf's overall low mobility. As Ganondorf is one of the slowest characters and has some of the worst jumps in the game, his approach options are greatly limited and he is easily out maneuvered by faster characters. Added to this is his large size and very high crouch making him very easy to hit. On the whole, it is generally felt that Ganondorf's weaknesses far outweigh his strengths, and this, combined with virtually no favorable matchups, lead to him being placed last on the Brawl tier list.
