# Super Smash Bros. Melee/Movelists/Ganondorf
## Basic Techniques
#### Standard Attacks

* Strangely, some of these attacks will send an opponent upwards when hit, which seems weird based on the move's animation.
| Button(s) | Description/notes |
| A | This is Ganondorf's fastest move and can juggle an opponent if used fast enough. Ganondorf jabs his arm out and with his palms open; he hits someone and knocks them back with an electric shock. Ganondorf does not have any A combos. |
| Forward + A | Ganondorf lunges his back leg and kicks anyone in front of him. He actually spins around in a full circle while doing this move. |
| Dash + A | Ganondorf lunges at you with his shoulder and send you flying sky-high. |
| Down + A | Ganondorf will crouch onto the ground and sweep his feet under you. Even though he uses both feet, it only causes one hit. |
| Up + A | This is Ganondorf's strongest attack in terms of knock-back power. He raises his leg up and holds it for a moment and sends it crashing down with a large explosion. This move is extremely hard to pull off, even as an edgeguard move, because of the timing. |
| Smash Forward + A | Ganondorf will lock his arms into a position where his elbow hits and lunge forward and send you sky high in purple flames. |
| Smash Down + A | One of his legs is used where he kicks it out forward and then whips it back behind him. It is a combo move that can hit enemies in front or behind Ganondorf and the final hit behind will send an opponent upwards. |
| Smash Up + A | Ganondorf will whip his back leg up, followed by his other leg in rapid succession. Since Ganondorf uses both of his legs, there are two hits in this move, making it a combo. It is also the strongest combo move in the game, with the first hit doing 23% and the second hit doing the 19%. |
| A (While lying down) | Ganondorf will point both legs upward and uncoil them hitting anyone beside him on both sides, and then using his back, stand back up normally. |
| A (While hanging off a ledge) | Ganondorf will jump the ledge and kick his feet out, using his arm to get back up. |

#### Special Attacks

| Button(s) | Attack | Description/notes |
| B | Warlock Punch | He charges up this punch for a little less than a second then unleashes an attack (complete with purple flames) that sends opponents flying quite far, even with the slightest damage. |
| Up + B | Dark Dive | He jumps into the air, attempting to grab someone. If he catches you, he shocks you for 2% damage and then propels you away in purple haze with a mid-air explosion. If you use this move and can continuously catch someone, you can repeat this move over and over again as long as you can keep connecting. |
| Down + B | Wizard Kick | On the ground, he slides across the ground with his legs out in front of him, hitting anyone who comes in contact. In the air, he dives downward diagonally in the same fashion. Peculiar with this move is that when you use it in the air, and you still have not landed, you can jump and double jump, even if you have already used up your double jump. |
| Forward + B | Gerudo Dragon | This fiery move involves Ganondorf charging forward for a short distance, and when he connects, he sends the opponent upward. An aerial Gerudo Dragon will send the opponent downward, but be careful, because you'll lose all attacking ability, as if you used an Up-B. |
