'''Beast Ganon''': Ganondorf transforms into the boar-like demon Ganon and strikes with a two-hit combo; first with a stunning pound on the ground, which paralyzes opponents if they're in range, then an immensely powerful dash, launching enemies along with him and landing safely on ground. Enemies not launched may be paralyzed or buried, depending on their proximity to the attack and whether or not they were able to dodge it.

==Matchups==
====Ice Climbers====
Ganondorf has an extremely hard time against Ice Climbers. He's simply too slow to be able to deal damage without getting grabbed by them and chaingrabbed to death. Their desyncs also mess you up terribly. For one, the Blizzard wall pretty much shuts you down.
Ganondorf returns from Super Smash Bros. Melee! Ganondorf is no longer a complete clone of Captain Falcon. His moves are more unique from Falcon, being slower and stronger. Ganondorf also gained a new SideB, Flame Choke that allows him a lot more followups. However, he has a few moves that is completely unusable due to being so slow, his aerial mobility is very lacking, he has problems dealing with projectiles, and his recovery is predictable, rendering him completely unviable in high level play. However, in a hands of a good player, Ganondorf is a force to fear.
Ganondorf extends his arm and shocks his opponent.
