SSBB Character review 22

22: Ganondorf

I was excited to learn that he made it into Melee, but was disappointed at how much of a clone he was. Sure, Captain Falcon is faster, Ganon is stronger, but if you learn one character's moves - you've got the other one's down. I was really hoping Brawl would switch up the clones, but I was disappointed again. Falco was altered from Fox, but hardly any change was made on Ganondorf.

He is a really powerful character, but pretty slow. I like to play as him, but I always wish he was unique. When I said I wanted to see his sword in the game, I didn't mean for him to take it out and stare at it like he does with his taunt. He could be totally different.
That's Ganondorf's downside. He does have a nice Final Smash, though somewhat hard to get the hang of. If you do it form the wrong height it won't work well, and is pretty prone to being dodged. If you hit them with the ground-pound, it's pretty much a sure death, however.

Overall he is a fun character, but so overly-cloney. Maybe Nintendo could just say that's he's related to Captain Falcon, that might ease my disappointment.
