Ganondorf's successful grounded Flame Choke.

This article or section may require competitive expertise. You can discuss this issue on the talk page or edit this page to improve it.

Overview

Ganondorf lunges forward to grab any opponent in his way. When used in the air, the move renders him helpless.

On the ground, the command grab has Ganondorf hold his victim's face up. He then unleashes an explosion of darkness that launches them straight down onto the ground.

In the air, Ganondorf grabs his victim's face and falls rapidly. If he doesn't land on a surface, he can perform a sacrificial KO. If he lands, the opponent will be put on the ground as if they missed a tech. Unlike the grounded version, this one cannot be teched. It is possible for the victim to mash out. It is easier to do so if they are at a lower percent than Ganondorf. If the opponent mashes out, Ganondorf will not become helpless and he'll be able to recover should he be close enough to the stage.

Throw Data

For both versions, the throw's angle and knockback do not actually apply; instead, the move drops the opponent straight down with a fixed launch speed and hitstun that are specific to it. However, it is still possible for the throws to apply their normally coded knockback if the move is interrupted on the same frame the throw takes place, and it is also used for grabbable non-character targets, such as Assist Trophies.
