The move has many positive traits which make it a widely used move in Ganondorf's [[metagame]], namely its power, good [[range]], and lack of a [[sourspot]]. The fact that it hits above Ganondorf means it can easily cover various [[tech]] options from opponents on platforms above him, as well as being a very good kill move, being able to kill [[spacie]]s at below 80% if used near the edge of most competitive stages. Also, if the move is spaced properly, it's very hard to punish out of shield (due to its high [[shieldstun]] and [[shield pushback]] by virtue of its damage output) if used while falling. | The move has many positive traits which make it a widely used move in Ganondorf's [[metagame]], namely its power, good [[range]], and lack of a [[sourspot]].

Overall, The Punch is considered a staple of Ganondorf's moveset for its variety of good traits, however, it should not be overused, as it might not always be the most rewarding option for every situation and Ganondorf can be [[punish]]ed hard if the attack fails to connect. | Overall, The Punch is considered a staple of Ganondorf's moveset for its variety of good traits, however, it should not be overused, as it might not always be the most rewarding option for every situation and Ganondorf can be [[punish]]ed hard if the attack fails to connect. |
