Redesigning Smash: Ganondorf | A De-Cloned Ganondorf Moveset Concept

Ganondorf’s moveset in Smash has been kinda cursed ever since he first joined the series. As Super Smash Bros. Melee was set to be one of the heavy-hitting system sellers for the 2001 holiday season of the GameCube, it needed to be made fast. For this reason, the game had a development cycle of only 13 months and because of this, corners needed to be cut. Thus, the concept of clone characters was born, which allowed for fan-favourite fighters to be added to the game, by using existing movesets as a base. Ganondorf is one such example. Since then, as the Smash series has evolved, he has seen some tweaks, with him essentially becoming a much slower, more powerful fighter over time. However, his moveset has never quite been able to escape its roots and is still very clearly derived from Captain Falcon, with very little taken from his appearances across the Zelda franchise. Welcome to Redesigning Smash, a series where we take a look at current smash characters and give them a fresh coat of paint. This time, we’re gonna be tackling the King of Evil: Ganondorf!
