Ganondorf (SSBU): Difference between revisions

===Ground attacks===

*{{buff|[[Forward tilt]] (12%/13% → 13%/14%), [[down tilt]] (13% → 14%), and [[dash attack]] (10%/14% → 11%/15%) all deal slightly more damage.}}

*{{buff|[[Up tilt]] is significantly faster, with less startup (frame 81 → 60) and endlag (frame 115 → 96). The vacuum effect is also much stronger.}}

**{{change|Up tilt now produces a flame effect on Ganondorf's foot during startup, and Ganondorf no longer holds up his leg with his hand.}}

**{{change|Up tilt now triggers Special Zoom if it successfully hit the opponent.}}

*{{change|All of Ganondorf's new [[smash attack]]s utilize his sword from the Space World 2000 tech demo. They also all have the [[slash]] effect, with forward smash losing the [[darkness]] effect.}}

*[[Forward smash]]:

===Aerial attacks===

*{{buff|All aerials have much less landing lag (Neutral: frame 17 → 10, Forward: 21 → 13, Up/Back: 19 → 11, Down: 26 → 16). This also makes [[neutral aerial]] and [[down aerial]] less punishable on landing.}}

**{{bugfix|Forward aerial's auto-cancel window has been restored.}}

*{{change|Ganondorf no longer crosses his legs during [[back aerial]].}}

**{{change|Ganondorf kicks with his right leg instead of his left.}}

*{{buff|[[Down aerial]] no longer has [[transcendent priority]], allowing it to cancel out projectiles.}}

===Throws/other attacks===

*{{nerf|Pivot grab has slightly more startup (frame 10 → 11).}}

*{{buff|[[Pummel]] is significantly faster, making it overall better at damage racking despite doing less damage (3% → 1.6%).}}

*{{buff|[[Down throw]] is no longer [[weight]] dependent, allowing more consistent followups on heavyweights.}}

**{{change|Forward throw's animation is now an uppercut.}}

*{{buff|[[Back throw]] deals more knockback, now KOing around 145% near the edge.}}

===Special Moves===

*{{change|[[Warlock Punch]] now triggers Special Zoom upon hitting the opponent.}}

*[[Flame Choke]]:

**{{buff|Grounded Flame Choke has less endlag (FAF 62 → 58), significantly improving its combo potential and allowing for more possible follow-ups on missed [[tech]]s; in particular, a combo into down tilt or dash attack is now guaranteed against all characters.}}

**{{nerf|The opponent is no longer KO'd first during a Ganoncide, removing the technique as a viable option when both players are on their last stock.}}

*[[Dark Dive]]:

**{{buff|Dark Dive's throw deals drastically more knockback and launches opponents at a [[semi-spike]], now reliably KOing at 89% near the edge, while also giving it gimping potential.}}

**{{buff|Dark Dive's throw has less endlag (FAF 60 → 50).}}
