Ganondorf (SSB4)/Dash attack

Hitbox visualization showing Ganondorf's dash attack.

Overview

Ganondorf performs a shoulder tackle. The attack has decent start-up, grants him a quick speed boost and its sweetspot has respectable power, which KOs at 140%. It also grants him very brief invincibility, though it does not last long enough to be viable for defense. The sourspot is incredibly weak and thus has virtually no KO potential. However, when coupled with its angle, it has good combo potential at varying percents, with his up aerial being a noticeably effective follow-up due to it being able to combo on the entire cast at 70%-90%.

Update 1.1.5 buffed dash attack by decreasing its ending lag, which makes it slightly safer and even improves its sourspot's combo potential.
