NOTE: In light of the events that has transpired within the FGC, I am aware that the tech known as "RockCrocking" has been renamed to something else as the original name refers to an individual who has been identified as an abuser. I unfortunately recorded this guide before the events occurred, and thus was unable to change my script without delaying the guide. While I do use the term here, I just want everyone to know that I DO NOT support or condone RockCrock's actions, or any of those who were exposed. I stand with the victims, and I want to make that very clear.

Using Ganon’s warlock punch isn’t about its viability. It’s about sending a message.

Most neutral guide videos: frame data, matchups, kill confirms This one: f e a r i s y o u r a l l y

The learning curve of Smash is absolutely insane, NotBae flattens that curve I think. May he blow up and educate us all.

"Ganon is extra slow but extra powerful" Incineroar: Those are rookie numbers buddy, you got to bump those numbers up.

NOTE: I obviously will continue to make Mewtwo content as that is the primary reason a majority of you are subscribed for. With that being said, I do want to try and expand my content out to guides/tutorials of other characters. This video took a very long time to make as I am not amazing with Ganon, and had to learn a lot of new things. But hopefully it worked out ok! Definitely feel free to leave a comment telling me what you thought of the video, since if this is something you guys enjoyed, I'm more than happy to provide more!

11:39 Intermediate tech: Ganons neutral air can hit tall opponents with both hits out of a short hop if you delay it slightly instead of buffering a short hop nair.

Reading their option is where the concept of fear is introduced. - Ganondorf, Book of War vol II

You forgot the most important use of aerial witzardkick: The sweet sweet disrespec of a suicidal spike

I love how deep this video goes into Ganon‘s disadvantage state

I love the cinematic at the start of the video. Like the ganon vs link stuff at the start

I had to do a double take when I saw the title A surprise to be sure but a welcome one

The best part about playing Ganondorf is that just by picking the character you're already in their head, nobody wants to be the guy who loses to Ganondorf. The comment about the fear element of fighting Ganondorf is very much a reality and in all hoensty can probably end up being his greatest tool.

It feels good to know I've learned 99% of this all on my own. I just need utilize this stuff more effectively like all the rar combos. I think i just need a new controller

Not Bae Ganon looking kinda clean

Ganon's Neutral Special abolishes all stocks taken by the opponent, does critical damage to opponent's morale and makes you win the match automatically regardless of the outcome.

One of the most detailed Ganon tutorials. Very nice and super video edit!

First I gotta say, excellent video. It’s well organized, authentic and everything explained felt necessary. You should be super proud of this. I’ve been playing ganon since melee, and he’s been my solo favorite character ever since (he’s my little “G tier to fear” 🥰). I’ve always wanted to make a ganon video, even have a long script of everything written out - and out of all the videos I’ve watched you really painted ganon with the realistic, but competent triforce of power wielder he is. Stellar work man.

Great guide. Picked up the two characters you made guides for and now it's Ganon's turn.

Holy notbae goodness this is an amazing guide, you really know how to go out and explain. Keep it up!!!

I don’t even main ganondorf, your videos are just so fun to watch that I enjoyed learning information I may never even need

The best ganon guide in entire KZfaq,Im a ganon main and I apreciate this content :)

guides for my two favorite smash characters, Ganondorf and Mewtwo, you are AMAZING! thanks a lot for this

Really good production value and coverage of the most important Ganon stuff for this video. I would definitely recommend this video to anyone wanting to pick up Ganon!

Here’s my like and comment for the KZfaq algorithm. Loved the Ganon guide, can’t wait to put some practice in on this wildcard pick and scrub my friends hahaha

You absolutely blew my mind on the details you gave. Well done.

Recently subbed for the Mewtwo and Cloud content since those are the characters I'm working on improving, and it looks like I picked the right time now that you've got a video out on my main. I learned a bunch from watching this and I appreciate that you get into the mental game when playing with/against Ganondorf--thanks for the good work!

thanks for the guide, i will be saving this to a playlist to refer back to. im trying to get good with ganon, and im sure this guide is just what i need to get me in the right direction! :)

This was actually very useful, thank you for the tips

A fantastic compilation for all Ganon users, whether they be intermediate or advanced. Thank you for this one! Sincerely, A Ganondorf Geek

They better give this man some buffs next patch...

was not expecting this! I support you branching out to different content. Great video bro!

Seeing this ganon gameplay makes me happy :)

Up smash while not as absurd as his smash 4 variant with TWO FRAMES OF END LAG, is still really safe when you hit with the back part of the move. It’s a pretty decent neutral tool as it doesn’t leave the opponent with much to challenge him with other than back peddling

I have been meaning gannon since smash brawl and I even learned some things from this good vid man

I've been trying out ganon for about a year and this showed up on my recommended and I wanna say thank you cause imma start dominating my friends now.

This is really well done. Great video!

Great video man! Very thorough and informative 👍🏼

I'm nothing less than a personal legend when it comes to my Gannypoo, and so I like to watch all the tutorials on him. You have the best one, and I mean that mostly due to how you add enough meat on the theory of playing him and you handle it as cinematically as a video talking about the Gerudo Genocide, but mind you my Gannon plays differently than yours. I handle every kill with sobriety when I'm playing as him, just because I'd never want some stranger to think they're my first victim or something. It's also cool as all hell to see him standing perfectly still, but his animation cycle making him tremble just slightly as a formerly confident link is ko'd. Other than that, great job, definitely helped me, won't deny, so I'll help you with a word I've made up today, which is Ganxiety, which I apply to the buildup of fear and respect that stays with your opponents throughout the match/matches

Very nice guide!

Another easy to understand video explaining how to own people with low tiers. Thank you NotBae.

that pivot cancel looks cool tho, adds a bit of range to that already giant kick i like how his tilt moves his hurtbox back a bit, it's so good for spacing grabs like this 4:11

Thanks man I’m training with gannondorf and you really helped

Ganondorf took me 4 tries to unlock. The other 3, he absolutely SLAUGHTERED my characters! All the other characters took me no more than 2 tries.

You could do a series of low tier guides I'd love to see that

I think ganon is a really balanced powerhouse and makes games against him fun as they can go either way

I've watched a lot of Izaw, and I can tell you've drawn some inspiration from him. I realize he hasn't made an art of Ganon yet just because he wants to see if he'll get changed, so kudos to you for filling in that gap.

I struggle with the matchup as Mewtwo so much appreciated

I greatly enjoyed watching this

It'd be cool if you could charge/cancel warlock punch to make it more useful. Best ganon guide hands down

Ganon is my favorite heavy so I'm glad you made this. I would love a video on your thoughts concerning how ganon could be made more viable in competitive. I feel like he needs changes (not necessarily a buff, it's a fine line), but I would like to hear your opinion on the subject.

That King K Rool crown throw to dair spike made me throw up in my mouth. I wasn’t ready for that disrespect!

Great stuff as always, at this rate you'll pass 10k in no time!

No way dude this is so good

Very good video, I would love if you made more!

15:12 Bruh, that is the nastiest disrespect against King K. Rool I've ever seen combo-ing him with his own crown twice before spiking him into oblivion! 💀

5:58 That scream though. 🤣🤣🤣

Ganondorf va sounds bizzare when voicing his wizard's kick. I mean, what even is that sound? X3

Amazing

Izaw's Art of Ganon lol

Great video

Good video, btw dair can punish dash grabs and up smash can punish bad shield pressure and cross ups

Hey Notbae! Love your vids, I've just picked up mewtwo and your Mewtwo tech has been super helpful. Could you do a ladder vid for DK? Lots of chances for hype plays

This music is intense

This is first video I’ve seen that talked about Ganon’s reverse up air. The angle it sends is nasty!

MY MIND WAS BLOWN AWAY 20:07

Jab is quick and pretty strong. I don’t have much to say about it. You can use it and be pretty safe and you follow it up with a f tilt or down tilt or a side special depending on how your opponents reacts. Forward tilt sends at a ridiculous angle at the ledge and is very powerful. If you space a Nair well on approach and hit shield, this is a good follow up option to mix in. Up tilt is a good option at the ledge (sparingly). Not good against characters who can reach you with their get up attack. Breaks shield and you can be confident throwing it out very sparingly in neutral at opponents in shield who have a habit of rolling back or spot dodging, at least when spaced properly. Down tilt has a lot of range and lowers your profile. Good option to follow a jab or forward tilt that connects on shield. Will help you either poke or possibly evade an out of shield option. Also is abused by most players after a successful side special to punish missed techs. Nair is your best approach tool. It is very spammable, but still need good spacing. Can hit opponents behind your for some dumb reason. Nothing much else to say, it’s Ganondorfs best move. Forward air is your kill air. Nair can kill too, but forward air is dumb powerful. Good for shield pressure too. The end lag is not so bad. Back air is your kill air 2. Great for edge guarding opponents with vertical recoveries. Great for catching jump from ledge. Great at killing things. Dair spikes and two frames at ledge. Spikes kill players. Warlock punch is for memes and shield break punishes. Can be used for “hard” reads against opponents who do dumb things like air dodge onto stage or double jump fair from off stage like Ness. Down special is best used when your opponent is retreating after getting hit by your nair, jab, or f tilt. Can be used to escape juggle, but has an eternity of end lag and opponents may have favorable trades with their anti air options. Do not enter a match and immediately use this. Do not use it in neutral when you are clearly in range, your opponents see that too. Good players will outspace you and punish you hard. The better I got with this character, the more I came to appreciate side special. Players love to shield Ganondorfs approaches because they are easy to punish out of shield. Using side special makes them think twice. But it’s not enough to land it, you need to have a good follow up game. Watch what your opponents is doing. If they are rolling, I like to move in whatever direction comes to mind afterward. Either I’ll be in position to punish or I’ll reset neutral. If they don’t tech then down tilt. Short hop dair is a good option too. Get up attack you can shield and possibly grab out of shield. Side special is also good for tech chasing opponents landing on ground or platform. They will most likely shield on get up because Ganondorf is terrifying. Up special is for recovery. Can be used out of shield, but I personally do not use this option. It can be used to edge guard, mostly to stage spike opponents. Can be used against opponents in the air if you have a good read for it. It can straight up kill if you do. Down throw is good. Can follow up with nair for a true combo. Against heavier characters and some fast fallers you can follow up with a fair. You can also follow with up air for a true combo. Back throw and forward throw are good for creating space and getting opponents off stage. Can create tech chase situations with these throws. I never use up throw.

I needed this, sooooooo much, you don't understand how many times I get baired offstage by pika

19:13 the technicque its basically gone LESS GOOOO

Something to note that when Ganon flame chokes piranha plant. Jab covers ever options.

I would really like you to do a similar video for either Donkey Kong or Bowser, as they are, along with Ganondorf, the only 3 characters I play :D

I felt that scream at 5:59

Awesome video as always. Will we see a Ganondorf elite smash ladder grind?

I love notbae

I don’t play Gabon, but I gotta show my support 💪🏼😤

Wtf u made a video on ganon? This is a surprise

I think the only thing that stuck out to me was up tilt is decent if your opponent has a tendency to jump at ledge. The vortex can throw people off and catch them. I saw bloodynight use it a few times

Can you make a Donkey Kong guide? Or a greninja or king k rool guide?

Weird idea what if flame choke could catch some projectiles and use it like an item. So for Links arrows boomerangs and bombs while in the air could all be caught by it. But any energy based projectiles like fox or ness fire cant be caught.

I just wanna play Smash again. My main two Smash bros moved out of town and have also started playing project plus instead.

You can also use neutral B to punish people who get up attack out of flame choke

Seems like some inspiration form IzAw

As a ganon guy. A falcon knocked me into the top blast zone and I was staying up there for a bit with my double jump. The falcon was blood thirsty and spamming u-air at me. I went up and down special’d, causing a fatal stage spike for the greedy bird.

Como main Gannon aprendí mucho, gracias. :) :*

self note: late hit dash attack for confirms, hold down while recovering to avoid the ledge

can someone help with down throw into nair? i can’t get it right

I know its a beginner's guide but you missed some key points. Aerial flame choke: you can get guranteed followups when landed on a platform such as BF. This is limited to big body characters such as Ridley but others apply as well. Dark Dive: With enough shield conditioning, you can utilize this command grab against a cornered enemy that decides to shield at the ledge. So long as the enemy isn't a small character like pikachu/pichu, this option should work when you have the read.

I actually prefer NotBae to Izaw. Keep up the good work!

Ganon can either be really hype, or if can be lame by SDing all the time. I really like ganondorf because he’s fun to fight and play

Can anyone explain to me how you land the D-Tilt kick when an opponent is about to grab ledge?? Thanks.

This is giving me izaw smash 4 Ganondorf guide vibes

I like this channel.

I plan to use what I learned here against my friends tomorrow. I'll let you know how it goes.

I'll just say this, You can make any character guide that you want, but keep in mind that some characters like greeninja already have really advanced guides available and if you were to make another guide people might not new it as much, but Gannon and those typa characters for sure need a good guide, so good job

4:27 How do you do uptilt???

Can you do a combo and nuetaral about shulk and pacman and link please.

Thanks bro now imma become a god

Art of Ganon

I'm sorry to bring the drama stuff into here and I don't wanna be that guy, but the Ganon/Falcon community decided to rename the RockCrock since he was exposed as an abusor. Most popular choice seems to be "TechCheck", or even the "MillerGriller", but Fatality doesn't like the last one for obvious reasons.

Another use of aerial wizard foot is potential shield breaks
