The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

Ganondorf (SSBM)/Up tilt
Overview
Known as the Volcano Kick, it consists of Ganondorf lifting his leg into the air and lets it hang there for over a full second before bringing it down in an explosive heel kick. It is easily the slowest attack in the game, making it unsuitable for any situation outside a shield break or possibly edgeguarding a low opponent. As expected for such an attack, its power is extreme, dealing enough knockback at 0% to launch Mario across the entirety of Final Destination with no DI; while it deals less damage than the Warlock Punch, it easily beats it for KO power at low percents (not until about 100% do they have equal power, and at that point the difference is irrelevant) while being only 11 frames slower (which generally does not matter in the situations where one of the attacks would be used) and having a larger hitbox. Unlike Captain Falcon`s up tilt, Ganondorf`s Volcano Kick`s hitbox does not start as soon as the "whooshing" sfx begins (meaning his foot is still in the air while harming opponents).
