Quick clarification: I'm aware some other moves (Rest, fully charged Flare Blade, Bucket with the right ammo, etc.) can do the same/more damage than Skewer. "The most damage in a single move" was supposed to imply that none of these were applicable, but "the most damage in a single moment" may have conveyed that better. My mistake, thanks for watching in any case! List of links:

MockRock rest does a sort of poison damage, and flare blade does 54. Also, my favorite big move is warlock/falcon punch

bean revenged 3 turnaround warlock punches with spirits attack buff giant Ganon, then...
THATS A LOT OF DAMAGE
Rest does 20 lmao
Nicholas Termignon no. It gives flower, so it technically hits for 70
14:57 “Or do absolutely nothing”
*Shows Luigi*
MockRock, I love you.
Who else could it have possibly been?
I didn't even catch that. That attention to detail is amazing
Clever.....
Luigi still won by doing absolutely nothing.
I was just about to comment this
It’s not about winning.
It’s about sending a message.

Why can't their be a strongly agree option on comments
"hey you, yes you. you Suck and i'm going to prove it now."
*B*
Me, when I play ganondorf
Yup
Actually, it was Joker from The Dark Knight who said that. Alpharad adapted that quote.
Alpharad actually quotes a whole lot of stuff that goes over people's heads, my own included.
That intro transition was probably the slickest thing I’ve ever seen
SubZero9120 exactly!
Was about to comment that myself if someone hadn't already, MockRock's editing, pacing, and transitions are some of the best in all of youtube
Talk about it.
OP yeah
Satisfaction
It bugs me though, how only one of the characters in the transitions isn't a smash character
Beginning of video: Let’s see which big move is the most useful
End of video: Will ganondorf ever have is own identity, being part of one of the most influential games in history?
Answer: No. Reworking characters seems to not exist in the eyes of smash devs.
Although maybe if the game is rebooted for the next smash game, then the characters might have changed movesets
little Mac and ganon were just done dirty man…
@@waluigiisthebest2802 been waiting for a rework since brawl man
@@waluigiisthebest2802 If there was ever a time to rework the old characters, it's in the next game after Ultimate. Assuming that Sakurai actually retires from Smash development and that the next game almost definitely can't bring everyone back while also adding newcomers, it seems like the most sensible option for Smash 6 is to essentially reboot the franchise.
@@waluigiisthebest2802 Brawl Falco and Sm4sh Bowser?
"I'm upset that competitive players don't use big, risky moves more", says THE ONLY MAN WITH THE ABILITY TO REBALANCE THE GAME
Huh?
And who also made little mac's k.o. punch kill later. Why?!
If big risky moves become better than online requires less skill to play due to reaction times being abhorrent. If we have the 10 frames of human reaction + 10 frames of internet lag + 10 frames of buffer things can easily compile out of control.
It's weird how sakurai created this largely competitive game but is a complete casual
@Daniel Davies he would prefer to see more people using risky, powerful moves rather than effective, tactically superior weaker moves.
Picture this: you’re playing a game with your friends and there’s 8 players, so you spawn on the left of magicant. You are playing wolf, a character that has a horrible recovery with his up b. You and your friends just unlocked Ridley. Unlike your friends, you are completely aware of how every fighter in the game plays. By some amount of luck, you spawn right next to the Ridley player. Because they don’t know how to play the game, they know that almost every fighter’s down b is the odd on out, so that’s what they input. And guess what? In less than the first 5 seconds of the game, there’s 60 percent on wolf, a confused you, and screams from your friends as they’ve never seen Ridley do anything. Based on a true story.
I did that once but I knew what the move did😏
When I firstly played the game I SD with Mario on a Battlefield believing j was the Pikachu on the right.........I was on the left of a 1v1 I was such a moron
If you time your inputs just right you can catch the most common starting actions players will take, within the first second of a match on either battle field or small battle field, with skewer. And let me tell you it is a real demoralizing way to start things off for your opponent
Try down throw to down b. Always works on new players
When set up close to a character a spot dish or roll is usually a good option to either close or widen the gap and minimise lick on their end
All of these big moves are more mind games and statements than sure fire kill options. It’s an easy way to state “I know what you’re going to do before you do it.”

@Roy is Our Boy? Is that a Jojo reference?
Thats like, half of competitive smash, just reads. ( im kidding chill )
@@sleepy_b0i Actually you’re not.
Eventually, it comes down to muscle memory about match ups & spacing.
The victor’s dream is to have all of this in grained, so they read everything, and punish with no risk, all reward.
I see two possible ways to fix Ganondorf:
1. Change Ganondorf and add Black Shadow to take his old move set
2. Add Ganon as a separate character, based around the trident and whatnot
Completely agree. Make black shadow an echo captain falcon and then Ganondorf will have his own unique moveset. This will appease the vast majority of people calling for a moveset overhaul, as well as keeping the original Ganondorf moveset preserved
If only this was the same for BOTW link. So many weapons and I'm especially mad about the outfits. No Geruode outfit?
His special moves NEEDS to be complete change (sorry for my inglish xDDD, i understand the inglish but a can't write it correctly xDDD)
same idea, but i didn’t think of an f-zero character i just imagined Big Mac, a giga mac in clownface
3. Add Toon Ganondorf, a dual-wielding swordie from the end of Wind Waker
I'm not even a minute in the video but I need to say this, the transition from the in-game Up-tilt to your intro was 👌
using Luigi for the “do absolutely nothing” is genius
Smash & LoZ Fans: Ganondorf's Warlock Punch isn't canon. Nintendo please change.
Nintendo: "Not Canon?? Not Ganon?? Feast your eyes on This!"

For replacing warlock punch, I'd choose the light orb, but it would be able to be charged by holding the button, and if you keep holding the button it'll become the warlock punch, similar to Diddy's peanut gun.
Not *THATS* a good idea!
This... is actually one of the best ideas I’ve heard for this concept. Kudos.
Cri Cat I was expecting a joke, but actually, your suggestion is genuinely worth considering, what the heck.
I think the best application of this would be three levels of charge.
First would be a quick reflector - not as active or long-lasting as Nayru’s Love (Zelda neutral B), more like Mario’s cape.
Holding it a little more would produce the light orb - which could turn into the Dead Man’s Volley with any character with a reflector, since all he’d have to do to reflect it would be tap the B button again.
And then, holding it past the light orb’s level would result in the warlock punch.
What I think would be cool would be if, during his neutral special (or heck, even as a replacement for his *down* special), Ganondorf would punch the ground and create a shockwave sort of effect (similar to Ike’s NS but to a much lighter degree). If you’re in the air, you’d end up diving downward and punching the ground, creating a much bigger effect depending on how high you were previously.
This sort of move would be in reference to his Ocarina of Time boss fight, where he would dive and strike the ground just before the fight would start, causing tiles to fall and setting up the arena’s layout for the ensuing tennis match. I believe Ganondorf would also do this when you jumped onto his platform when he isn’t incapacitated.
The way I view it, Ganon has evolved into an _Interpretation_ of the canon Ganon. I always really enjoyed the wizard and magic affiliation in Ganons moveset in smash. It counters the stereotypical picture of an old/ physically weak and frail magic user so perfectly. Especially in Ultimate. He uses magic, his sword and his own body in attacks and it makes for a wonderfully diverse and interesting moveset that might not be true to the story, but paints the right picture. I personally really enjoy him this way.
Honestly I think it fits the canon anyway, especially the way it's said in the video. Ganon is described as a Glory or Death chracter which fits pretty much all of his iteration concidering that he pulls the boldest moves ever, taking on a whole kingdom, sometimes even directly and even alone, and either succedes or dies trying. But he always leaves a mark in the world. This is exactly who Ganon is in smash : A heavy hiter with ambitions as big as his sword who's here to leave an ever lasting impression on everyone.
Now, I want your take on how every Veteran Fighter should be redone.
THIS PLEASE!
@@shir0azure339 Several similar ideas actually are already on the list, no worries!

Your lack of style and imagination is probably the most disappointing thing I've seen from this community thus far.
14:56 I just LOVE how he put Luigi while saying ''or doing absolutely nothing''
14:57 - "...or do absolutely nothing"
*shows Luigi
I just noticed it lmao
That ending was so deep man. I nearly weeped tears for Ganondorf
They should put Ganons old melee moveset onto black shadow and give ganon a new moveset
Fkdksnsncmelsn Djdksms I wish people wouldn’t just suggest Black Shadow merely as a dumping ground. It’s kinda rude
Wolfasaurus Rex People who say this don’t know a thing about Black Shadow. They don’t actually care about him getting in, they just need someone to shove Ganon’s moveset onto. Don’t even see the point, he’s finally great in this game, plays nothing like Falcon, hardly looks the same as him in animations these days, and there’s plenty of other characters with misrepresented movesets that don’t have their fans begging for a change as much as Ganondorf fans.
And don’t give me that Hyryle Warriors excuse, you just can’t compare the two games so equally, especially since everyone was made ridiculous and over the top in that game.
Or phantom ganon 👀
Yes
@@emblemblade9245 ^
Fun fact: when Luigi’s down taunt hits a grounded opponent, the effect just before they get airborne is pretty much the same as hitting the ground and bouncing up, so it always spikes, just impossible to tech
Because reaction time is so slow for a human to do it
14:56 "or do absolutely nothing"
he says as he Skewers Luigi, i like the subtlety.
This is honestly one of the most well edited videos I have ever seen. Every 10 seconds I was impressed, like actually. Very good stuff.
The one situation in which I most often find myself landing skewer is in punishing an opponent's ledge option. If Ridley is standing far enough from the ledge that his plasma breath will hit a hanging opponent, then he can punish neutral getup on a read and ledge attack on reaction with skewer. Combine this with his massive Nair covering drop+ double jump and ledge jump and it becomes much more likely that you'll land it, even if it is still risky and overall unlikely
I think if they ever change Ganondorf, theh should give his old moveset to Blood Falcon or Black Shadow
I agree to giving Ganondorf's moveset to Black Shadow, but not Blood Falcon. If Blood Falcon were ever introduced he would be best represented as an exaggerated version of Captain Falcon. Even faster, even nastier, even stronger, but far more slippery and even harder to use. After all, if Captain Falcon was based on F-zero and the blue falcon, than Blood Falcon should be based on the Blood Hawk. Black Shadow makes sense though. The Black Bull is fast as hell, tough as nails, and hits like a truck because of its weight, but suffers because of its acceleration. Black Shadow with Ganon's moveset would fit his machine pretty well. It's hard to get to first place, but if you're close to Black Shadow, get the fuck out of there. And when he does get first place, good luck catching him.
The Black Shadow spirit even has Ganondorf, I assume, representing him.
Ganon Uptilt to Intro and using Daisy Upair to show connection was sick. Subscribed.
14:46 I like how he uses Luigi here to demonstrate someone doing "absolutely nothing"
The Ganon clip to the intro was so sleek lmao
Yep so good
14:55 Love how he used luigi for this specific example.

Okay so that transition to the intro is so fluent great job on that
Funny story here: I was playing Ultimate as Ganondorf and got a challenger aproaching. It was Toon Link, and I literally killed him in 2 warlock punches. He didn't even land a hit, and it was hilarious.
@@TheTrueBrawler Let's not talk about the forward smash that kills lvl9 pichus at 0% or that kills any non-heavies after a single up smash.
the fallen hero timeline.
Damn, that intro transition was flawless!
Btw, the part about source material issues was very interesting. I do think the Warlock punch could be replaced, with something more fitting.
(Also: Enter the Gungeon and Indivisible-music are always a win)
Am I the only one that noticed when you said "Do absolutely nothing." for Ridleys Skewer that you used Luigi? If it was intended, it's a really nice touch.
Gotta be honest Jet hammer is really nice. I mean it has armor, hits the ledge, covers entire platforms, has some surprisingly good range, and has a fear factor to it that you don't see in many moves... It's a far cry from sm4sh where it was a literal joke along with half of D3's kit.
I hit a lot of people on the ledge on 3DS but asides from that yeah you're not getting too much out of it except with careless people or just whoever don't knows that. The super armor and shield breaker capabilities really came in handy.
Sometimes I don't even charge it and it still kills and being able to move around has allowed me to microspace against some attacks to make them whiff and then I go for big punish.
14:56
When he says absolutely nothing it’s Luigi. Thank you MockRock that detail was amazing
As a Ganondorf main, the idea of replacing Warlock Punch with a reflect or even a projectile is too beautiful for words.
What if after the first half of charging it has a strong suck windbox and a few frames after the active frames it sends a strong push windbox?
no
greg jenko yes
@@menacing_name mega no.
Not only was this in project M, if you used his reflection mid-air GANON COULD FLOAT. They compensate by replacing his sword taunt with a move similar to his forward smash in Ultimate, and it basically worked the same as warlock punch.
14:56
I like this little Easter egg of using Luigi with the "doing absolutely nothing" parg
"Do absolutely nothing"
LUIGI ON SCREEN
14:56 or do absolutely nothing
:Luigi: my time has come
Why not just get Pig Gannon and give him the magical abilities?
Pig Ganon's abilities are much different from Ganondorf. Besides, giving Ganon his magic and ability to float would be much easier to balance on a large humanoid who is heavy or on the low end of super heavy than a gigantic pig demon that would probably be up there with Dedede and DK as one of the heaviest characters in the game.
Ganon is too big

R.I.P. Jigglypuffs rest
Heroes up b that does over 300%: Am I a joke to you?
Think Outside The Blocks That move doesn't do over 300% unless reflected, so in a sense, that doesn't count as the move by itself doing damage.
@@angelmendez-rivera351 yea, and likewise rest inflicts a flower, which does allot of lingering damage
Super Smash Bros Melee
Peach's down-smash.
Up to 65% if spaced correctly.

@@andreazhab thanks
Yes
Love that Luigis down taunt is on par with a mother flipping falcon punch
MockRock’s editing is fire, Mario’s F.L.U.D.D should douse him.
If we can have 3 forms of link, why can’t we have another ganon, who is literally known for being reincarnated through time, to represent a different form oh him in a different gane
Great editing, great voice. Godly music choices, and more.. mmm subbed.
Actually with some characters, Kirby’s hammer can hit below the ledge. As you showed with Luigi’s down taunt, maybe Ganondorf is not the best character to show for hitboxes.
Goofy ah side smash that hits behind him, stupid Dair that spikes up to his back, devilish up B reach that grabs the ledge a feet and a half away from his hand. Yep, that's Ganon for you.
There's this one mod for brawl (can't remember the name) where there were 2 different ganon's, regular slow Ganon and mage ganon, where he completely represented his identity, he had his thing from OoT where he charged up light spheres and sent them at you, he actually wields magic, he can float in the air, he has a teleport with active input and he just was a much better ganon than what sakurai did (not trying to slam sakurai, just saying), i really wish this ganon could have been in an actual smash game

@@Qwaylix well tru I saw a vid where G and W does 600% against icies and twack basicly only does 3 percent so yeah

You represents me and my wish to keep having fun with smash. (and with my clip)
Thanks, bro. (y)
I think it was the safer choice to keep Warlock punch after changing his Smashes. However now that the Smashes have already become so incredibly iconic, seriously ask someone what was Ganon's forward Smash in Smash 4 see if they remember, I feel they can safely swap it out for something better.
Ganon main from smash 4 here, it was Captian Falcon's elbow strike (or whatever you wanna call it) and his up smash was a painfully short upwards kick. Only reason I remember it is because it phisically hurt me to use them concidering that Ganon is both my favorite antagonist ever and that his other moves were really viable for who he was. So yea, I do welcome the big stupid sword that murders Pichus at 0% with open arms.
Also Warlock punch has garnered so much hype during the years that I think that replacing it would be a huge double or nothing for Nintendo. Like, if it's a move that follows the same dynamic, as in stupid, slow but hype as all hell AND that's more iconic to canon Ganon, sure, the fans might accept it. But if it's a flimsy projectile that just helps start combos or a Lucina/Marth shield break clone, yea people will riot. Sure the high comp players might like it and we'll see more Ganon mains on the competitive scene, but Ganon just won't be Ganon anymore. The whole part of the Ganon mains who are here for THE DORF, aka the goofy gameplay, the give me glory or give me death, the Ganonside on last stock to save the honor and the "I don't fight to win, I fight to humiliate my oponent !" mindset, they'll just feel robbed of one of their biggest tools of disrespect and fun. On top of that, I feel like his similarity to Captain Falcon allowed a bridge for Captain Falcon mains to experience a different flavor of fighter (which is how I became a Ganon main btw). He's similar enough that Captain Falcon mains can familiarise themselves with him first, then develop their own playstyle yet still be able to go back to their original main at any point. It also works the other way around (though less effectively), so it's a win/win.
Damn I forgot how much mockrock used to like borderline yell in his older vids. So energized lmao
As a ganon main I don't want to give up my big punch but having a projectile or even better a reflector would be simply absolutely awesome
A fast up tilt would help him a lot, too.
I think jab or ftilt should reflect, like when he smacks back the orb in oot
as a ganon main, i want to see warlock punch remade into a projectile
ganon would be so much better if he had a reliable way to contest with projectile characters, so a projectile of his own is the best option
yeah honestly ganon is in a bad place. He's fun and landing shit is hype but like, he's one of the only characters to not have a canonical moveset. The others being the starfox crew because.. well what moveset do you give characters who's games revolve around spaceships? Thinking about it, when did ganon have a sword aside from twilight princess?
Most specials seem to be inspired by what the Arwings do, but I can't for the life of me explain the Up Special.
As for Ganondorf, that sword he uses in Ultimate was actually seen in a tech demo for the GameCube, showing a scene where he was fighting Link with it. It's funny to me, as it's appeared in 2 released Smash games (he had it in a victory animation in Melee) and 0 released Zelda games. Also he used two smaller swords in Wind Waker, but that was an entirely different fighting style.
@@jackhammer4499 Ah the arwing thing makes sense. The up special could just be referencing something as simple as the engines.
I wonder if Ganon's lack of canonity in his moveset is because people like him as a bad falcon echo or because the dev's really have no inspiration for what to do with him.
@@franklinturtleton6525 I think it's a character identity thing to Sakurai. Which is, of course, a colossal shame. As MockRock said, you know that if Ganondorf was introduced to Smash later, he'd have a completely original moveset.
Sylvanos from RoA would probably be a better template for Ganon, as a stage-control heavy character. Reflector neutral special, farther/more controllable up special, longer side special, and a down special projectile that he could hit around.
Nostalgia is no excuse at this point.
@@GothicSoldier9000 I really don't understand why they haven't changed Ganondorf's special moves. They are what are supposed to be what shows the characters Canonical abilities, yet the only Special the does this is Flame Choke. I don't think people are attached to Warlock punch, Wizard's Foot, and Dark dive, so there's really no excuse for not exchanging for moves that are canon, like a Electric orb, reflecter, and Warping recovery.
Kind of wish they gave Ganon his PM neutral B (Which is a float that lets you stall in the air for a little bit)
Gives him sick setups and it helps him recover, plus it fits Ganon more as a character
the thing about falcon punch... is that it gives you so many options to avoid getting hit by it that sometimes you forget to pick one.
That's like 80% or the time it hits too, you just panick and forget which one works best in your situation. The fact that Captain Falcon can pressure you for a long while all while doing nothing adds to it, making his opponent stress level increase until they can finally hit them.
Gannondorf is the Reincarnation of Gannon in the smash Universe. Thats why its different AND Can be Canon and not Falcon Rip.
The power of "big moves" is mindgames. Scaring/surprising your opponent because they never expect you to do them. It can throw them off their game especially if they hit, because now they're aware of how easy it is for you to read them.
At least, that's how I use them. But I'm no "pro smasher" so eh.
Ganon with peach float and (aimable) corrin neutral b would be cool cuz uh warlock punch is cool but we have doriyah so
Your rant about Ganondorf at the end made me subscribe. Thank you.
Technically rest does the most damage if you wait for the slow damage
Replace warlock punch with a counter that behaves like Jigglypuff rest: Comes out frame one, has 1 Intangability frame and is usually a guaranteed kill move.
Me the Luigi main trying to down taunt my friend: I DID IT!!!
My Friend: That’s all you’ve done whenever I’ve gone off stage!
Hearing someone who knows what they’re talking about in the competitive scene make one of these videos is refreshing
13:27 *laughs in Hero*
And Jigglypuff
Love the etg music at the start
Given the amount of sheer power a rage Ridley has getting a clutch Skewer in a last stock situation could very well instantly win you the game. Still not recommended in most situations but desperate times sometimes call for desperate measures.
That and most big moves don't lead into a tech situation which is unique.
the way i see it, those big, impractical moves could have an intimidation factor, even in top level play. in stressful situations, they can scare the opponent into making a mistake
But forward smash is faster and better lol... It's one of the strongest knockback moves in the whole game.
@@dddmemaybe Sure but it's harder to cover multiple get up options and at that percent it doesn't really matter.
I loved how when you said “absolutely nothing”, you showed weegee
I would miss warlock punch cause shield breaking is kinda ganondorf’s thing
They seriously should just give most of Ganondorf’s move set to Black Shadow. Bring back the smash 4 smash attacks with a lightning attribute (maybe even black lightning), actually give his specials lightning attributes instead of purple magic, give him a different up tilt (since volcano kick is basically Ganondorf’s prime big move), different animations that fit Black Shadow better, and make his final smash a reference to his doomsday plan from the anime if it worked out (similar to King K. Rool’s).
Sakurai himself basically came out and said people aren't playing sick enough.
I knew he was a true Melee fan at heart, even if he denies it to this day.
14:56 “Or do absolutely nothing”
*shows Luigi*
I love this.
I like during the ridley part he put Luigi as the victim of doing absolutely nothing for skewer examples
Ganondorf's moveset in Ultimate compared to project m infuriates me.
0:50 OKAY THAT TRANSITION WAS SICK! CAN WE TALK ABOUT THAT TRANSITION?
Don’t change Ganon’s A moves, but definitely change his specials!
Here’s an idea: What if there was a tournament of all characters to determine which one has the strongest big move? Ness’s pk thunder, the Falcon punch, Ike’s eruption, Luigi’s uppercut, pichu’s head bash, Jigglypuff’s rest, and many more (except flare blade)
every time you land a Falcon punch a baby turns into a man
MockRock''falcon punch is the most iconic move in smash''
(shine cries in the back)
Big moves shouldn’t kill at 0%
Melee Jigglypuff’s rest: Am I a joke to you?
Ridley’s skewer makes the most damage
Ultimate Jigglypuff’s rest; Am I still a joke to you?
The thing with Smash is that due to input lag/reaction times, players are actually playing a quarter second into the future...So the only use for these big moves is disruption when the enemy is confused
I main puff in every smash and I absolutely loved rest in 64 and melee because the reward felt equal to the risk of using the move
However in brawl and especially 4 and ult the move went from a good balance of risk and reward to a lot of risk for not that much of a reward
Puff secondary here. Rest in 64 isn't that good and I think Ultimates is better. Obviously melee rest is insane and kills at 30%. but you can combo into rest in ultimate, sing is really good, kills at 50ish. And once you get really good at landing it, the risk becomes less since you're more confident. Puffs still a low tier, but rest is still frame 2 and if you practice landing rests a lot the risk becomes lower.
@@FlappyCat-ef6oq rest is still really good in 64, due to the increased hitstun in 64 it has a ton of confirms and kills super early, in ult the risk I'm mostly talking about is if you land it theres still a 33% chance it wont star or screen ko and if your opponent has a fast option you'll get punished for even killing with the move
For the level of production and thought put into these, you deserve a lot more views!
That transition made me hard. Good one mockrock!
It's not about winning, it's about sending a message.
New BIG Move: Byleth's Amir
Yes, I'd replace Warlock Punch, but not Falcon Punch, as the latter is so iconic (and more useful than Warlock Punch). If they're going to keep Warlock Punch in, at least make it decent, maybe having more range or less startup or being able to cancel it. I'd also like a buff to Byleth's Amir, as while it has better range and can be easily turned around, it's still very slow and near unusable in the air, as it gets significantly weaker unlike Falcon Punch. I don't have much of a problem with Kirby's Hammer Flip, but it'd be nice to see the Brawl aerial version return. I'm not sure yet on how I feel about Ridley's Skewer, it always seemed like a "useless move" like Samus's jab rather than a "big move" like Falcon Punch. And while it's not used very often, Luigi's down taunt is actually occasionally a strategy and I think it should be the only taunt allowed online, if they're removing all the others (maybe keep Snake's box too). I mean, it's not like people will stop taunting, between Incineroar's auto-taunts, Dedede's crouch, teabagging, disrespecting, and dashdancing, they still have many ways to annoy the opponent.
I like that the "do absolutely nothing" was shown with luigi
