Ganondorf has, inarguably, the worst matchup spread not only in ''Brawl'', but in the entire ''Smash'' series except '' Melee ''. Being one of two characters in any game to hold this distinction (the other being {{SSB|Donkey Kong}} in the Japanese version of ''Smash 64''), he has a losing matchup against every other character. He is soft countered by 3 characters, countered by 11 characters, hard countered by 17 characters, and has 5 nearly unwinnable matchups. Characters can overwhelm him with blinding attack speed ({{SSBB|Meta Knight}} and {{SSBB|Sheik}}), outcamp him at any range ({{SSBB|Olimar}} and {{SSBB|Falco}}), or [[chain grab]] him to death ({{SSBB|Ice Climbers}} and {{SSBB|King Dedede}}), all of which almost completely nullify his strong punish game. Ultimately, Ganondorf is completely outmatched by every character in the game, and is the only positive matchup for some characters ({{SSBB|Captain Falcon}}, {{SSBB|Jigglypuff}}, and {{SSBB|Zelda}}).
