Ganondorf (SSB4)/Up smash

Overview

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

Ganondorf does a forceful upwards kick. It has the same startup as his forward smash; however, its ending lag is deceptively low due to its interruptibility, making it easy to fake out opponents and use a Wizard's Foot or another attack. When sweetspotted, his up smash is the strongest of its kind in the game, and is effective against aerial opponents. It also does incredible shield damage, dealing more than half uncharged and nearly breaking it when fully charged.
