Editing Gordo Throw

==Overview==

The trajectory of the Gordo can be adjusted in six different ways depending on the input used to execute the move (tilting or tapping, like [[Samus]]'s [[Missile]]s) and the [[angling]] of the control stick afterwards:

* '''Neutral angle:''' the Gordo is able to cover almost the entire distance of {{SSB4|Final Destination}}. The width of each bounce decreases slightly.

* '''Angled down:''' the Gordo covers a distance of about three-quarters of Final Destination. The increase in height and the decrease in horizontal distance is very noticeable.

Only one Gordo can be thrown at a time; when a Gordo is already out, the attack consists of a single hammer swipe which damages targets for 10%. Gordos will travel farther and faster if the control stick is tapped instead of tilted; the prior of the two methods can be easily facilitated with the C-Stick. This is known as C-Stick Angled Gordos by the playerbase.  

Gordos have a chance of getting stuck in any wall they hit, causing slight damage to opponents that touch them. They will then disappear after a few seconds. This can be utilized as an [[edgeguarding]] technique, albeit being very difficult to execute and only working against characters with more vertical recoveries. If King Dedede is interrupted before executing his hammer swipe animation (i.e by hitstun or landing on a [[Spring]]), he will drop the Gordo, which will bounce harmlessly on the ground. However, he (or other characters) can still hit the Gordo at his rivals. Unlike King Dedede's former side special [[Waddle Dee Toss]], the Gordo Dedede throws will be affected by his size and can in fact travel faster/slower and shorter/further depending on their adapted size. Also, if a Gordo is reflected while very close to another character, it can hit many times very quickly, resulting in unusually high damage.

==Customization==

#*'''Angled up:''' The Gordo bounces higher, but disappears after four bounces.  

#*'''Angled down:''' The Gordo bounces five times, but reaches a lower height and covers less distance.  

==Glitches==

* '''Gordo Bur:''' If Dedede attempts to use the side special input to hit back an existing Gordo that has just been deflected by an opponent (though there may be other ways to initiate it), the Gordo may become stuck to Dedede. While he can still use the side special again, he will not throw another Gordo. Gordo will remain hovering without a hitbox underneath Dedede, attached to the bone that normally holds grabbed opponents and Gordos before being thrown, not interacting with anything else in the game. The stuck Gordo's hitbox still exists somewhere on the stage, and an opponent can occasionally be struck by this invisible hitbox for damage, though it is unclear where exactly the hitbox will be. After a hit or two, the hitbox will disappear, and the stuck Gordo will disappear, allowing Dedede to use his side special again. The Gordo will fall off if Dedede uses [[Jet Hammer]], allowing him to re-throw Gordos. The glitch can be seen [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ADMlmPHq8M here].

* If the animation is slowed down via training mode or use of the timer in SSB4, King Dedede will quickly rotate his hammer between the 14th and 15th frames of the animation, despite this not being depicted if the full speed animation is played frame by frame. This occurs because the game interpolates the movement of objects and limbs between frames when the game speed is slowed down, and it misinterprets a small angle adjustment to the hammer as it having made an almost full 180 degree rotation.
