'''Ganondorf''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. He was buffed significantly in ''Project M'' after being mostly reverted to his ''Melee'' version. However, some ''Brawl'' attributes were maintained, and part of his moveset was changed to make him more well-rounded. | '''Ganondorf''' is a playable character in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''.

==Attributes== | ==Attributes== | ||
Given the sheer amount of nerfs Ganondorf received in ''Brawl'' that made him plummet to the very bottom of its tier list, he is significantly buffed in ''Project M''; most of his favorable traits from ''Melee'' return, along with ''Brawl''{{'}}s tilt attacks and [[Flame Choke]], restoring his recovery, speed, and combo and K.O.ing ability back to its prime. Some of his more powerful moves have been given less ending lag or greater reach, many late weak hitboxes and sourspots were removed, and his less often used moves have been replaced with weaker but much more practical moves: his new up tilt comes out much faster, and his new neutral special Dead Man's Volley & Drift is a reflector that doubles as a floating maneuver; to compensate for the loss of [[Warlock Punch]] Ganondorf's down taunt received an attack that operates similarly to it. Finally, several of Ganondorf's animations have been overhauled, when combined with the addition of Dead Man's Volley makes him a slightly more accurate representation of his appearance in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time''. | |||
Now equipped with an anti-projectile and recovery mix-up option, and decent speed combined with his menacing power, he has the potential to be one of the best characters in the game. However, despite his buffs, he is not invincible and can still easily be overwhelmed by faster or combo-heavy opponents. | |||

*{{change| | *{{change|Most of his aesthetics were altered to be more inline with his magical warlock theme. He uses his dashing, grabbing, and grounded Wizard's Foot animations from ''Melee''. The fist hitbox of [[forward aerial]] produces a [[darkness]] effect while [[back aerial]] produces an [[electric]] effect. [[Dark Dive]] now makes Ganondorf briefly flash purple during the uppercut portion. Both back aerial and neutral attack now also use a different "punch" SFX similar to that of his side taunt. His sidestep and rolling dodges make him flicker and glow purple during his intangible frames. His forward tilt now has him retreating his leg instead of dropping it. His forward smash resembles a faster Warlock Punch animation.}} | ||

It also deals up to 30% total damage (3% more than the ''Brawl'' up tilt) and lacks any sourspots. This new up tilt is much faster and slightly more damaging than the original Volcano Kick.}} | ||

*{{nerf|Up smash | *{{buff|[[Up smash]] reverted back to the stronger, faster, and sourspot-less double-hitting "tornado kick" from ''Melee''. It also has slightly wider hitboxes and the second kick deals 2% more damage.}} | ||

*{{buff|[[Down smash]] reverted back to its ''Melee'' form, being much faster and less laggy, stronger, hitting more vertically, and its two hits linking together more effectively.}} | |||

*{{nerf| | **{{nerf|Neutral aerial's late hitboxes were removed, significantly decreasing its hitbox duration (from 6 frames to 2 frames).}} | ||

*{{buff|Down taunt can be held to make Ganondorf attack with a downward swing of his sword. It has the same startup, damage and knockback as his [[Warlock Punch]] but it has much greater range and has light armor right before it hits.

*{{buff|Aerial Flame Choke deals 1% more damage and now inflicts caught opponents with a weak set knockback [[meteor smash]], causing them to weakly bounce up instead of being immediately floored; this leads to it having guaranteed followups like its grounded version.

The removal of [[hitstun]] cancelling also now prevents opponents from being able to attack Ganondorf out of the move. The throw also completes much faster, giving caught opponents much less time to react and DI.}} | |||
*{{buff|[[Dark Dive]] has slightly faster start-up and | *{{buff|[[Wizard's Foot]] has its late weak hitboxes removed for both grounded and aerial versions, and its power has been increased to being slightly stronger than its ''Melee'' version, reliably KOing around 115%, and dealing 2% more damage on the ground and 5% more in the air. Aerial Wizard's Foot also restores Ganondorf's midair jump and [[spike]]s opponents for its entire duration as it did in ''Melee'', significantly improving Ganondorf's recovery and equipping him with a deadly [[edge guard]].}} | ||

Once the attack connects with an enemy, he puts them up, chokes and releases them onto the ground. In the air, Ganondorf grabs the opponent and slams them into the ground, weakly bouncing them upwards, and as a recovery move it can sweetspot [[ledge]]s. If Ganondorf does the aerial version and lands on and facing the ledge, the grabbed opponent will be meteored just under the stage, but is not powerful enough to KO. If there is no ground, there will be a [[self-destruct]] for both players. Can be used for [[edgehogging]]. The move can fall off edges if used too close to them, but Ganondorf can then grab them and come back to the stage. This can be still be dangerous, though, as he will fall helpless and SD if the edge is ungrabbable. | ||

The grab attack inflicts 4 electric hits of 2% damage that can damage nearby foes, then the explosion deals 10% with a [[flame]] effect. Ganondorf can receive damage when grabbing an opponent, but cannot be knocked out of the move. If he misses, he will then perform an uppercut that launches enemies upwards and can punish [[edge-hog]]gers, while possessing a large [[edge sweet spot]]. | | [[Dark Dive]] || 2% (hits 1-4), 10% (release), 7% (uppercut) || Ganondorf grabs onto the opponent and unleashes electricity onto them, then launches them with an explosion.

The grounded version acts as a strong horizontal finisher, while the aerial version spikes opponents, yielding early KOs against recovering ones if they fail at dodging the attack. The midair version also restores Ganondorf's double jump, extending his recovery, and has a landing hitbox that bounces foes upwards. The grounded version can fall off edges and bump into walls; in the latter case, Ganondorf will flip backwards and suffer a great amount of lag. | | [[Wizard's Foot]] || 17% (both versions), 8% (landing) || Ganondorf launches with a dark kick forward, or diagonally downwards when used in midair. The grounded version acts as a strong horizontal finisher, while the aerial version spikes opponents, yielding early KOs against recovering ones if they fail at dodging the attack. The midair version also restores Ganondorf's double jump, extending his recovery, and has a landing hitbox that bounces foes upwards.

==Alternate costumes== | ==Alternate costumes== | ||
Ganondorf has an alternate costume based on his appearance in ''The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time'' and ''Melee''. This costume also changes the Sword of Sages from ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'' that he pulls out during his down taunt into the sword he is depicted with (but never uses) in ''Melee''. | |||
The | The set comes with recolors for team battles, as well as a purple recolor; his ''Ocarina of Time'' color scheme was replaced to make room. | ||

*Oddly | *Oddly, whenever the player selects Ganondorf in red or blue Ocarina of Time costumes, the stock icons would be in the wrong place. (The blue costume will use the red stock icon and vice versa.) [https://www.dropbox.com/sh/7zjigzm9gfpkib4/AAB5skS8ALjZHJex9Simv2xMa?dl=0 However, there is a custom patch fix existing for this issue and similar problems.] A similar issue also happens with [[Meta_Knight_(PM)|Meta Knight]]'s Dark and Concept Art costumes. This was fixed in version 3.6. | ||
