Ganondorf (SSB4)/Up tilt

Hitbox visualization showing Ganondorf's up tilt.

Overview

Often called the Volcano Kick, Ganondorf holds his leg up for a time, then smashes it down in an explosive axe kick.

It has three different hitboxes: on the leg, in the center of the explosion, and at the edge of the explosion. The hitbox on his leg is the sweetspot, dealing the most damage and knockback, while the explosion is the sourspot. On frames 6-70, it produces a vacuum effect that sucks opponents towards Ganondorf, helping him land the move. It has deceptively large range, making it good for edge-guarding. The sweetspot is incredibly powerful, being able to KO at low percents at the ledge, as well as instantly breaking full shields on hit. It is the strongest up tilt in the game, as well as the strongest tilt overall. However, its immense power is kept in check by its incredibly long startup, making it a very risky but highly rewarding move.
