Ganondorf appears as an unlockable character in Super Smash Brothers Royale. His immense power throughout his moveset allows him to turn the tide of the match at a moment's notice.
Changes from Brawl to Royale[]
Buffs[]
- Walk and dash speed notably faster.
- Almost all of his attacks have less starting, ending, and landing lag. The re-addition of L-cancelling helps as well.
- Ganondorf now uses his sword, giving him much more reach. Most of his new sword attacks are less laggy.
- Grab range increased tremendously.
- Down aerial is much faster.
- Back and forward throws have much higher knockback.
Nerfs[]
- New dash attack is slower and less powerful.
- Because he has a new down special, he can no longer perform the Flight Of Ganon.
- Rolls and spot dodges are slower. Rolls go less distance as well.
Other[]
- Darkness effect is generally more prominent in his attacks.
Moveset[]

Down tilt: Sweeps his foot over the ground. 7%.
Forward smash: Unleashes a powerful blast of dark magic out of his palm. 20%, 25% at the sweetspot at the edge of the hitbox.
Up smash: Thrusts his sword high in the air, with an aura of dark magic surrounding him. 19%.
Down smash: Spins on one foot twice, sword scraping the ground. 14% on first rotation, 12% on second.

Forward aerial: A powerful overhead swing of his sword. A semi-spike. 17%.
Back aerial: Spins and kicks behind him. 8%.
Up aerial: Does a backflip, foot outstretched. 10%
Down aerial: His trademark stomp. No longer has a sourspot. 23%.
Grab: Ganondorf's grab range is vastly improved, going from the worst to one of the best. Surprisingly fast for Ganondorf's weight.

Special moves[]
Neutral Special: Dead Man's Volley - Shoots a ball of lightning forward. Cancels out any projectile hitbox, but can be deflected by any non-projectile hitbox infinitely. Re-using the move will deflect the ball back. 10%.
Side Special: Flame Choke - Rushes forward and grabs the opponent by the face, then slams them into the ground. In the air, it is a potent suicide KO move. 12%.
Up Special: Dead Man's Drift - Floats, gaining a lot of horizontal, but average vertical distance. Slow, but good recovery.
Down Special: Red Ice - Imprisons his opponent in red ice. Very slow, but an excellent set-up move, can be comboed into almost any of Ganondorf's moves.
