Ganondorf (USBIV)

Ganondorf is an unlockable character in Ultra Smash Bros. IV and makes his fourth appearance in the series since Melee. He was confirmed 5 days earlier before the release of this game in Japan. Ganondorf also has his own trailer due to his changed moveset and costumes. In The Legend of Zelda series, Ganondorf is the main antagonist and he possesses dark magic to conquer Hyrule and the Triforce against Link and  Zelda.
Ganondorf uses now a different costume that is imported from the game: Hyrule Warriors for Wii U and a different asset from Hyrule Warriors: Legends for Nintendo 3DS.
Ganondorf is no longer a semi-clone of Captain Falcon for having a different moveset.
Ganondorf's voiceclips were reused from Brawl and Smash 4.
Ganondorf ranks the 43rd place of the 103rd in the tier list (B+), putting him at the high tier classment behind Mii Swordfighter and after Lucario, making him a high tier character. This is a significant rise for Ganondorf for being a unviable character among all the series of Smash Bros. (except in Melee that he was a mid-low tier character).
Ganondorf is a powerful character based on knockback and percentage, probably one of the highest in this game, thanks to his dark magic attacks that kills opponents very early. Light characters are not a good option to play against him. He's a good fast faller and a his speed has increased a little, including his air mobility. Off-stage gimps are his especiality.
However, Ganondorf still have some flaws. He's still a slow character with low jumps and with a poor recovery option. He's a big character so little ones can attack them with ease. Overall in his matchups, Ganondorf has decent results and he's a viable character to play at the majority of the tournaments.
