==Overview==
Ganondorf performs a rather quick punch with high knockback, dealing 17%. This move is a major part of Ganondorf`s metagame, having no sweetspot and good reach, this move is very often used, but on the downside, however, it can be too predictable if used too often. This attack is just as fast as the [[Knee Smash]] (with 1 frame less ending lag), but with slightly lower power and more ending lag, but with much better range.

Ganondorf's forward aerial, often nicknamed the '''Skull Crusher''' or '''The Punch''', involves him punching in a downwards motion in front of  himself. Compared to the [[Captain Falcon (SSBM)/Forward aerial|Knee Smash]], The Punch is weaker and [[lag]]gier, which is made up for by its significantly longer range.
 
The move has many positive traits which make it a widely used move in Ganondorf's [[metagame]], namely its power, good [[range]], and lack of a [[sourspot]]. The fact that it hits above Ganondorf means it can easily cover various [[tech]] options from opponents on platforms above him, as well as being a very good kill move, being able to kill [[spacie]]s at below 80% if used near the edge of most competitive stages. Also, if the move is spaced properly, it's very hard to punish out of shield (due to its high [[shieldstun]] and [[shield pushback]] by virtue of its damage output) if used while falling.
 
However, every move has its drawbacks, and The Punch is outclassed by {{mvsub|Ganondorf|SSBM|back aerial}} in many areas, being slower, laggier, having less knockback (starting at 106%) and, most importantly, not being able to [[autocancel]] in a [[short hop]], which makes it only work as a falling aerial, giving oponents more time to react and potentially whiff punish the attack.
 
Overall, The Punch is considered a staple of Ganondorf's moveset for its variety of good traits, however, it should not be overused, as it might not always be the most rewarding option for every situation and Ganondorf can be [[punish]]ed hard if the attack fails to connect.
