Description
The king of darkness has arrived! And he's got a lot of tricks up his sleeves to make sure he reigns over all.

Ganondorf isn't the same as his smash bros version, while he may have some familiar moves he also comes with a bunch of new ones. So let's go over some now shall we?
Starting with one of his main tools, Float. Just like peach you can float by holding jump, use this to combo, mind game and recover. The other main gimmick ganon has, Sword mode. By taunting ganon will summon his sword, afterwards all of his aerials, smash attacks, jab and down special on the ground will change. Taunting again will have him throw his sword into a portal for later returning him to Melee mode.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now let's go over some attacks starting with Melee mode.
Jab is a quick palm strike like smash but you can jump cancel it on hit, use this to access a lot of combo starters.

Up tilt is more like falcon's move but you can hold attack for a slower stronger hit like ganon's smash move.

Nair has some weak armor on start up, use this to escape pressure.

The rest of the moves are pretty easy to understand so on to the specials.

Neutral special has ganon charge an energy ball like oot. it has 3 levels of charge and you can throw the first 2 anytime during their charge window. You can also dodge/parry during those windows. The move charges faster on the ground then the air but you can move some during that. You will go into special fall in the air and you can change the direction ganon throws it in by hold the other direction before throwing.

Forward special differs depending if you're on the ground or air. The air version is the classic flame choke while thr grounded is a set distance command grab. If it lands ganon will hold his prey in place while he taunts, during this time you can press up/down/left/right to launch them in that direction. Holding up while starting the move will have the grab be angled upwards some.

Down special also differs, the grounded version is wizard foot which includes the ledge cancel. In the air though will see ganon fly up before coming crashing down with his fist. Anyone caught directly will take heavy damage and knockback. If they're caught by the shockwaves they'll be stunned before set flying. You can hold special before the descent to do a faster version that does less damage and knockback.

And up special, a teleport very similar to zelda's. If you hit someone with the attack you won't be sent into free fall.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And now for Sword mode.
Jab becomes a slower long reaching swing, you can't jump cancel this but it's got good range and decently fast.

Nair becomes a circling swing that starts from behind ganon and goes to his front.

Fair becomes a large forward swing.

Bair becomes a slower longer reaching version of melee mode's bair.

Dair becomes a downward swing that is about the same speed as regular dair but with more reach and slightly less knockback.

Up air becomes a upward swing that catches on the way up but hits harder on the up most hit.

And down special becomes a darkness enfused thrust of the sword forward. It's a bit slower and can't go off ledge but it's also stronger then wizard foot.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

32 alts is a lot! Are you sure it isn't too much?

as a melee ganon main this is cool
I don't know if it would be balanced but I find myself wanting melee ganons f-air and his better wavedash and moonwalk. i cant moonwalk at all with this version no matter how hard i try

Chad character, love all the moves he can use and the sword taunt is such a cool idea.

I can see about some balancing, though i will say you can do any sword aerial from a short hop float to help with sword in neutral. And glad he's fun

I think the sword aerials need a buff. N-Air does 7%, is very laggy, can't be hit with a short hop, ONLY a full hop AND double jump on landing, and the same goes for all the other aerials. They feel a bit too sluggish and don't do damage to warrant the slowness.

Solid job balancing him otherwise, though. Ganon's fun to play.
