First of all, you are a player, not a character, so by saying "we are part of the metagame too" then I'm going to assume you're talking about Ganondorf players.
Secondly, I'm not going to "act" like anything. I'm also not going to use fancy words. I have absolutely no problem with being straight up.
Ganondorf is not a viable character for competitive play.
Ganondorf players are very few. Most people do not delude themselves, and realize that even if they were to reach their potential tomorrow, they still have very little to no chance of defeating top players who use viable characters. Ganondorf will likely not be used in any of my examples, because he is unrealistic to face in tournament, and you have yet to master the basics, if you're still losing to Ganondorf.
Ganon is not a useless character. I use him to teach good habits to my apprentices, or fool around and embarrass my friends, or have fun when playing amongst casuals. However, this does not validate his usage in a serious tournament set if you claim to have the intention of winning, or progressing as far as possible with your skill level as a PLAYER.
The character Ganondorf is irrelevant to the metagame. Perhaps no one told you this before, but I have just now, so you have no further excuses. Please continue to use a garbage tier character at your own risk and discretion.
That being said, many of the things in these articles will be applicable to all players and most characters, often including Ganondorf. If you choose to continue maining Ganon, you will yet still find useful information in this thread. But if you're looking for a secret guide to winning with a character who has no business beating people who know what they're doing, and using characters capable of defeating other good characters, then this is not the place for you.
Ganondorf is not part of the metagame (offline, I don't know how he plays online). No good player in their right mind would select Ganondorf if the result mattered to them, against another good player in a tournament set. Statistically, this has shown to be true as well. In fact, I doubt you can even bring me one example of a serious tournament set, where a truly good and known player, lost to a Ganondorf.
