User blog comment:The shy platypi/My Super Smash Bros 4 Tier List: Part 1 - Bottom and Low Tiers/@comment-25275196-20170207055648/@comment-6684591-20170207060648

The thing is, Ganondorf doesn't really have much of a way of forcing the opponent to approach him rather than approaching himself. For example, Cloud has Limit Charge to force an approach, WFT can spam SunSal to heal herself, Samus has Charge Shot, Rosalina has Luma, etc. In high-level tournament play, a Ganondorf cannot do much to force an enemy to approach.

He did mention the speed of Ganondorf's attacks; frankly I was surprised to find the speed of some of these moves; I figured the only single digit frame attack he had was jab.

I myself am a low-tier main, I have both Robin and Samus; I agree with Shypie that Ganon is in that tier and for the very same reasons he described, though I do agree with you in that Ganondorf can perform excellently in the right hands.
