Ganondorf performs a shoulder bash. It is one of its most potent burst options, making it very useful in neutral or to catch landings. The strong hit is a combo starter at low percent, letting Ganondorf follow up with a [[../Neutral aerial|neutral aerial]] or a [[../Up_aerial|up aerial]], and becomes a kill move later on. The weak hit is much safer and way less powerful, allowing it to consistently lead into neutral aerial and up aerial, or even in certain cases [[../Forward aerial|forward aerial]] and [[../Back aerial|back aerial]], making it one of the only way for Ganondorf to [[kill confirm]]. Dash attack also has the ability to [[cross-up]], making it relatively safe if spaced correctly.

This move also shines when it is coupled with [[Ganondorf (SSBU)/Side special|Flame Choke]], being able to cover multiple options at once and creating a [[50-50]] when the aerial version is landed.
 
However, this move's late hit is negatively disjointed, making it trade or lose against a lot of moves, and also causing issues with the [[Jostle]] mechanics present in [[Ultimate]].

The late hit is much safer and way less powerful than the early hit, allowing it to consistently lead into neutral aerial and up aerial, or even in certain cases [[../Forward aerial|forward aerial]] and [[../Back aerial|back aerial]], making it one of the only way for Ganondorf to [[kill confirm]]. However, it barely extends past his [[hurtbox]], making it trade or lose against a lot of moves, and also causing issues with the [[jostle]] mechanics present in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.


Overall a staple of Ganondorf's toolkit and one of the best in the game.
