{{SSBB|Ganondorf}}'s side special in ''Brawl'' is [[Flame Choke]]. Ganondorf boosts forward with one dark magic-infused hand outstretched and grabs an opponent by the face before dropping them to the ground. As it is a command grab, Flame Choke cannot be shielded. The grab comes out slowly and it has deceptively poor range, which can make it hard to land. If Ganondorf does grab the opponent, however, it is fairly rewarding. The opponent is put into a [[Floor recovery|wakeup]] situation that cannot be avoided with a [[tech]], and when used on the ground, Ganondorf has the frame advantage against his opponent. Ganondorf has a +9 to +12 frame advantage against most characters, giving him guaranteed followups, including dash attack or forward tilt for a KO confirm against over half the cast (and characters vulnerable to forward tilt must be wary of Ganondorf mixing up their DI). If Ganondorf cannot follow up or if he wants to go for a more powerful followup, he can [[tech chase]] the opponent where he can either land one of his stronger moves (such as down aerial or a smash attack) or he can Flame Choke again to reset the situation.  
{{SSBB|Ganondorf}}'s side special in ''Brawl'' is [[Flame Choke]]. Ganondorf boosts forward with one dark magic-infused hand outstretched and grabs an opponent by the neck before dropping them to the ground. As it is a command grab, Flame Choke cannot be shielded. It can potentially be used continuously to [[tech chase]] opponents; alternatively, Ganondorf can follow up with several of his moves, making Flame Choke a combo starter.


If used in the air, Ganondorf will forcefully slam the opponent down to the ground. This is not as useful on stage as it has considerably more ending lag than the grounded version, giving Ganondorf no guaranteed followups. If used offstage, unless there is a moving platform that prevents them from reaching the blast zone, he and the opponent will plummet downwards and will result in both players being [[KO]]ed. This tactic is called the [[Ganoncide]]. However, unlike in ''Smash 4'', where this tactic will always result in victory for Ganondorf, in ''Brawl'', using Ganoncide is unpredictable and can result in a win, a loss, or even [[Sudden Death]].

*Some otherwise guaranteed followups can be avoided by drifting out of the way as Ganondorf lets go (either out or in depending on the character/followup), indicated by {{indeterminate}}.
 
*{{y}}/{{indeterminate}} indicates that the followup is fully guaranteed however:
**If the opponent drifts in, Ganondorf has to perform a turnaround jab/forward tilt/down tilt.
**If the opponent drifts out, Ganondorf has to perform a dash jump into landing Wizard's Foot.
*{{indeterminate}}/{{n}} indicates that while the followup is usually not guaranteed, it can be guaranteed if the opponent drifts in a specific direction.
