Ganondorf from Super Smash Bros Melee

Ganondorf (ガノンドロフ Ganondorofu) is one of the new characters in Super Smash Bros. Melee, as well as one of the unlockable characters. Ganondorf's design is based on his appearance in the SpaceWorld 2000 GameCube Tech Demo, which in turn is based on The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. In his debut in the Super Smash Bros. series, Ganondorf shares several of his moves and abilities with Captain Falcon; According to Masahiro Sakurai, this is because Ganondorf was the last character added to the cast, and this was possible because Captain Falcon had a compatible physical constitution.1

Ganondorf is in 14th position on the tier list, at the top of the C+ class. Among his advantages are his extreme power and reach, as well as his ability to perform chain holds. His aerial game is considered one of the best in the game, due to having powerful and versatile aerial attacks, so Ganondorf's edge-guarding skills are also considered the best and most varied in the game. Adding to all this, Ganondorf is one of the heaviest characters in the game, making it difficult for him to receive a K.O.

However, Ganondorf's flaws, while few, are highly influential: Ganondorf possesses terrible mobility due to being slow in almost every way; This is also present in his attacks, so Ganondorf has trouble dealing with opponents with high mobility and/or fast attacks. Additionally, Ganondorf's recovery is quite predictable and he only travels an average distance, making him especially vulnerable to edge-guarding.
