'''Gerudo Dragon''' ({{ja|地竜拳|Chiryūken}}, ''Earth Dragon Fist'') is {{SSBM|Ganondorf}}'s [[side special]] move in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. It is essentially a [[clone]] of [[Captain Falcon]]'s [[Raptor Boost]], but it is much more powerful, slower, and the uppercut involves [[darkness|dark magic]] instead of fire.

Line 16: Line 17:


The move is generally not optimal to use due to its short distance that gives it a poor approach, and is easily punishable if used under the wrong circumstances. The attack is moderately [[lag]]gy if missed; Ganondorf will fall to the ground and sluggishly get up, all the while vulnerable to attack. In addition, like with Raptor Boost, Gerudo Dragon does not grab [[ledge]]s, making it poor for horizontal recovery.

==Origin==
The Gerudo Dragon is a move original to ''Melee'', as it is directly based off of the [[Raptor Boost]]. The main visual difference is the flame effects are replaced with purple particle effects as a reference to the dark magic Ganondorf possesses and frequently uses.
