Talk:Stomp (archetype)

Keep- the stomp is a famous move for Ganondorf, as is The Knee for Captain Falcon. It is also a very important aspect of Ganondorf's metagame, as OT and countless Brawlers have shown me.--MegaTron1XD 17:25, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Delete. Whereas The Knee is a much loved, and much used, aspect of Captain Falcon's game, "Stomp" seems to be a generic term used to arbitrarily group a load of down aerials that look sort of the same. Even if the article were to be rewritten to be just about Ganondorf's down aerial, which some people seem to think is what the article is currently about, I would still say delete, because it's simply nowhere near being significant enough to merit its own article. It's just a fairly meh rip of The Knee, but with such ridiculous startup lag that it can't be combo'd into outside of teams, and as Ganondorf isn't actually used in tournaments it's not even used in competitive Smash.

Actually PoD, it is a big part of Ganondorf's metagame in both Melee and Brawl. It's start-up is certainly not ridiculous to be unusable outside of edgegaurding. Also, with L-Cancelling in Melee and it being able to be auto-cancelled in Brawl, it is most certainly capable of being used in combos at low percentages. Similar to the knee, it is a sub 100% killer in both Melee and Brawl on grounded opponents, and it's capable of KOing recovering opponents at 0%. While it is safe to say Ganondorf isn't really used in Brawl tournaments, he was a much better and viable character in Melee who did saw use in tournaments, hence why he has always been middle tier or even high tier in Melee. Needless to say, it was the most notable attack in Ganondorf's standard moveset. While I'm still unsure as to whether this deserves an article or not, please don't use false facts in your support for deletion. Omega Tyrant 21:52, August 6, 2010 (UTC)
