Although the Smash bros dojo is out of style now, I still find myself going back there everyday just to see what's there. Today, of course, is the great king of evil Ganondorf. Now aside from this sick shot of him choke-slamming Link, today's update irked me.



The biggest problem I had with Brawl's roster was that Ganandorf was still a clone of Falcon. Yeah he was more distinct this time, but the potential for his own moveset was enormous. As such today's update also goes into details of one of Ganondorf's taunts. The infamous sword taunt.



When I saw this I was really interested in what Sakurai was going to say (unless the translator did this on his own, which is possible).

"He takes out the sword he stole from the six Sages and takes a look at it.

... Then puts it away.

What are you putting it away for? Use it! People tend to make fun of Ganondorf for this.


Argh!!! Why! It's like he acknowledges the fact that nobody wanted him to be a clone anymore. Yet he did it anyway. And then he throws that taunt in there to piss us off. What a jerk.

/end rant



Either way Brawl is awesome and I've spent too much time on it already.

Not so much to piss people off, but more or a nod to everyone that whines about it.
...
Which, of course would piss people off... but I personally see it in the same style of that message to the internet in Super Paper Mario.

Oh how I wish Ganondorf wasn't just a Cfalcon clone. At least this time it doesn't look like Falcon's moves as much

Yea, I like that his side special attack is a choke instead of the upper cut but it would of been cool to have him have his own move set.

Why are people still calling him a clone? He's as different from Captain Falcon as Ken is from Ryu in SFIII. Not only does he actually have different moves with completely different properties, but even at his most basic level of play he just plays completely differently from Falcon.

And besides, weapons are for losers who can't fight. Real men use their bodies only to win. That's what the taunt is. He's basically saying "I have this huge weapon, but I don't need it to beat you."

Ganondorf needs no weapon, just his delicately groomed corn rows and hair accessories.
