+'''Gerudo Dragon''' ({{ja|地竜拳|Chiryūken}}, ''Earth Dragon Fist'') is {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}'s [[side special]] move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. It is essentially a [[clone]] of [[Captain Falcon]]'s [[Raptor Boost]], but it is much more powerful, slower, and the uppercut involves [[darkness|dark magic]] instead of fire.
+==Overview==
+Gerudo Dragon is an uppercut that has the ability to counter some [[projectile]]s while the attack is propelling Ganondorf forward, similarly to Raptor Boost. The attack sends the opponent upwards, but unlike Raptor Boost, it does not [[meteor smash]] when used in the air. The attack inflicts 17% on the ground, and 16% while airborne.
+In the low-to-middle percentages, the attack sets the opponent up for many juggling [[combo]]s, though not as effective as Raptor Boost due to its higher knockback. However, despite its higher knockback, it is not strong enough to KO at realistic percentages.
-'''Gerudo Dragon''' is {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}'s [[side special]] move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. It is essentially a [[clone]] of [[Captain Falcon]]'s [[Raptor Boost]], but it is much more powerful, slower, and the uppercut involves [[darkness|dark magic]] instead of fire. This attack can star KO opponents at high percentages.
+The move is generally not optimal to use due to its short distance that gives it a poor approach, and is easily punishable if used under the wrong circumstances. The attack is moderately [[lag]]gy if missed; Ganondorf will fall to the ground and sluggishly get up, all the while vulnerable to attack. In addition, like with Raptor Boost, Gerudo Dragon does not grab [[ledge]]s, making it poor for horizontal recovery.
-==Overview==
+==Origin==
+The Gerudo Dragon is a move original to ''Melee'', as it is directly based off of the [[Raptor Boost]]. The main visual difference is the flame effects are replaced with purple particle effects as a reference to the dark magic Ganondorf possesses and frequently uses.
-The Gerudo Dragon allows Ganondorf the ability to counter some [[projectile]]s while the attack is propelling him forward, similarly to Raptor Boost. The attack sends the opponent up into the air, but unlike Raptor Boost, does not [[meteor smash]] airborne opponents.
