Ganon really never had any need for damage buffs since Brawl. Most of Ultimate's positive changes are mostly attributed to him massively benefitting from the 3 frame jump squad, along with whole lot of attacks receiving less endlag, weakening shield and defensive options overall, which allows...

So according to Smashboards this nerf was actually only meant to fix weird behaviour of Ganon's legs upon being hit which allowed him to escape certain multihit moves such as Dancing blade, Peach's dash attack and more. So basically this is like removing a glitch that was unintended more than...

What's more interesting and important to us is that Pichu got hit by that very same nerf + having a larger hurtbox while landing, so maybe we can potentoally hit the little **** with wizkick and other fast fall airials more reliably? There are some other questions though I have regarding this...

Little Mac's character attributes and general concept just don't jive with Ultimate at all, so yeah he's gonna need either a complete overhaul or some massive buffs. As for Bayonetta, it's prob either Nintendo's or the smash developers stance/protocol since the abyssmal showing and reaction to...

To be honest I'm glad that they didn't resort to implementing any needless nerfs bc so many people were whining and being salty about his Smash attacks and killpower in general. Ofc I still would like for them to fix his apparent, objective flaws regarding his two recovery specials, but it's...

As long as you can beat/exploit it via command/grab like any other counter, it's fine.

Small critters feel even more problematic in Ultimate. It might feel weird that I say this, but there's certainely characters, who for their size and lack of weight seem as though they should die way earlier, but don't, even against Ganon, and while Edge guarding is a much more viable solution...

I think that is the case bc it's not a move or concept that fits Ganon all that much. I'm not sure how much you know about Zelda games/lore, but the Phantom, which Zelda uses, coincidentally comes from two titles (Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks) where Ganon is entirely absent. I assume you...

Well well, that's very easy to answer, you replace the two weakest links in his moveset those being Warlock punch and Dark dive. Don't get me wrong, Dark dive is finally an usable and viable killoption, but as a recovery it's still very suboptimal. If it had to stay it would be cool if one could...

Well Ganon can act quicker out of Flame choke than in Smash 4, so yes he was buffed by a couple of frames, though believe me when I say this was necessary since he pretty much got next to no reward out of flame choke for most relevant characters prior. From what I know Flame choke is a lot more...

The funny thing is, hardly any of Ganon's moves were buffed frame data wise, at least when startup is concerned, which is by far the most important aspect of any move. Yes he received a myriad of ending lag reductions but so did every other character and in most cases they were buffed even more...

I hope I didn't put down the mood with my text wall, the real reason I can't seem to share the enthusiasm of everybody so far mostly boils down to me not getting as much time to enjoy/test Ultimate as much as I would like as well as having not enough incentive to invest in Nintendo's sorry...

Don't bother, that's his stick he keeps pulling.... The one thing I will agree with though, is that the elbow makes way more sense for Ganon, than Falcon not only for being canon, but also for having better frame data. Seriously the comical Sword smash's range doesn't really justify it being...

I don't think Piranha Plant got into Smash as a result of any fan input, demand etc (which doesn't mean that nobody voted for it during the ballot but you know what I mean), nor did Sakurai and his developers initialy plan to include him OVER any other potential canidates for the roster. The...
