Overview

Ganondorf forcefully stomps down with both feet. A slow but extremely powerful spike, this move is capable of KO'ing aerial opponents at very low percentages if sweetspotted. However, given its startup lag, landing the move can be difficult. However, the move's sourspot is powerful in its own right and sends opponents at the Sakurai angle. On the ground, hitting opponents sends them flying upwards and can KO Mario on Final Destination at 120%. It is the only spike in the game that cannot be teched from a standing position.
