Overview

Ganondorf performs two kicks in succession. The first kick has low knockback so that it can easily link into the second, more powerful kick. The move is useful for spacing, and occasionally, as an edgeguarding move. It is capable of KO'ing Mario at the center of Final Destination at 133%.

Update history

When Smash 4 was released, this move was relatively unchanged: the first kick had no combo or KO potential and the second kick was still relatively weak. Over the course of the game's updates, Ganondorf's neutral aerial was massively buffed and became more similar to Captain Falcon's.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS 1.0.4

  • Buff Landing lag on all aerials reduced.

Super Smash Bros. 4 1.0.6

  • Buff Neutral attack deals 1% more damage: 6%/9% → 7%/10%.

Super Smash Bros. 4 1.1.1

  • Buff Neutral aerial deals more damage: 7% (hit 1 late) /9% (hit 2 clean)/5% (hit 2 late) → 8%/10%/7%, its knockback has altered: 20 (base)/100 (growth) → 0/130/90 (hit 1), 100 → 120 (growth, hit 2), its second hit's hitbox sizes increased: 4.3u/5.7u/6.2u → 4.5u/5.7u/7.4u and its angles altered: 55°/60°/65° → 55°/70°/100°. This makes its hits connect together better at low percentages while retaining its KO power.
  • Nerf Neutral aerial's first hit's decreased base knockback makes it less safe on hit and on landing at low percentages.

Super Smash Bros. 4 1.1.3

  • Buff Neutral aerial's first kick has drastically reduced knockback that allows it combo into the second hit more effectively similar to Captain Falcon's, has a new hitbox on his foot that deals high knockback for spacing properties, transitions three frames faster, has 3 frames less ending lag, and deals more damage on the both the clean and late hitboxes on the second kick.
  • Nerf The drastically reduced knockback on neutral aerial's first hit makes the move less safe on hit and on landing and less effective as a spacer unless hitting with the foot, while completely removing its KOing capabilities. It also deals less damage on the clean and late hitbox, and less total damage.
  • Buff Neutral, forward, back and up aerials all have 1 frame less landing lag.
