SUPER SMAAAAAAAAAAASH BROTHERS

December 7th, 2018

The next generation of Super Smash Bros. is here! For the uninitiated, Smash Bros. is a fighting game, only it's got Ganondor, the King of Evil, as a playable character! Oh, and it stars a bunch of other, lesser video game characters that exist for Ganondorf to clown on. The game can get quite deep, offering a ton of options for play so you can tailor your Ganondorf experience to the way you like it. You can have a chaotic eight-Ganondorf battle with just pokeballs spawning, or a super-serious Ganondorf-against-Ganondorf affair. After seventeen years since his humble debut on the Gamecube, Ganondor has become one of the most beloved characters out there, being both a sweet fighter and awesome homage to all things evil. And now we're getting the ULTIMATE Ganondorf experience, with literally every character in the franchise making a return. But obviously only one matters.

There are over 100 stages in which Ganondorf can play on. You can even play on Battlefield and Final Destination layouts for every stage, allowing Ganondorf to show his true domination. You can cut people with you new sword on maps without stage hazards, or even do STAGE MORPHS and show off your Ganondorf skills on two alternating stages in one match!

How do I unlock Ganondorf?
The easiest way is this unlock chain:
Beat the starter Pokemon route in World of Light to unlock Marth.
Beat Classic as Marth to unlock Ryu.
Beat Classic as Ryu to unlock Ganondorf.

Does Ganondorf really use his sword?
Yes! All of his smashes swing his Big Evil Sword, giving him some nice disjointed attacks.

What kind of recolors does Ganondorf have?

Are Ganoncides still in?
Absolutely! And you still win if you both have one stock remaining. Long live the dream.

Will they let us play as Brawl/4 Ganondorf?
It seems they want the Zelda characters to cover a broad range of Zelda games, but for some reason they went with OoT Ganondorf (despite there being an OoT rep with Sheik and TP losing its rep). This was probably to justify buffing him to make him a bit faster overall. But fret not! Modding has always been big ever since Brawl, and I'm sure many a Ganondorf skin will be available.

Will Ganondorf be good this time?
Ganondorf was always good.

    Jiggly's Final Smash is still hot garbage. They reduced the variety of Smashes and normalised a lot of them to make them more viable and less weird, but left Puff's the same.

    Oh brilliant

    I am really happy to see all the improvements they made to Zelda, but I wish I could have that level of... intense joy that he exudes

    My two main characters are probably going to be Game&Watch and Pirahna Plant.

    I mean sure I'll play Falco or Greninja or any of my old characters I was "good" with I suppose. Probably try and make Ivysaur a thing this time around as well.

    But I just can't not play the characters that have a sort of cartoon goofiness to them.

    Actually woah wait I forgot about my beloved Koopa Kids.

    I will of course be playing a bunch as Larry, the undisputed best of them.

    Also maybe Iggy because of the non-stop mad laughter.

    I wish more characters had dumb model swap alt costumes. The Zelda folks especially, they could squeeze some nice alt costumes in for them. Right now Link, Ganondorf and Zelda all have disparate art styles, they each come from different games.

    I like that they are disparate, personally

    There have been a whole lot of styles used in Zelda over the years so it is cool having a swathe of them represented

    I would say Ridley is either Dark/Fire or Dark/Dragon in typing.

    Dark has this connotation of treachery, betrayal, and ruthlessness in Japan and that's basically Ridley's MO

    Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.

    Ridley is Dragon /fighting and his ability is inferno which turns normal moves into fire type

    Kirby is clearly a normal type.
