Well Ganondorf is among the slowest of characters, the only one being slower is Bowser. Ganondorf is my favorite and best character, second coming Link. I just prefer raw power

If you're talking about raw power, Try Ike. He is basically one of my very best characters i use in brawl. the second being marth, then Olimar.

Well it is easier for me to knock people of the edge with Ganondorf, since having 45% of damage is enough to allow him to send a character flying away, and fast. Ike is good, but I prefer Marth since he is a faster fighter.

I just can't even use ganondorf, for I can't land any of his attacks, as well as the fact that I suicide with him all the time. As for marth, he is a faster fighter compared to ike. as for Ike though, for what he lacks in speed is basically what he makes up for power.

Well it must be that I got use to his slow fighting style ever since he was added in SSBMeele. I can't say that I accurately land most attempts. The weakest attack he has deals almost 13% of damage, and his Smash Attack deals 25%, even with minimum charging, and it sends players flying engulfed in dark flames. His warlock kick (or whatever is called now) is faster now, and his Dark Choke has a more rate of success of landing than his former Gerudo Dragon.

If I get a Smash Ball and acquire the ability to perform a Super Smash Attack, I usually perform Dark Choke to leave my opponent vulnerable to his beast form, Ganon. Since Dark Choke leaves my opponent slammed against the floor, "Ganon" paralyzes them, then sends them flying away as it charges against them.

Dark Choke + Ganon Beast = One of my "No Miss Killer" moves.

I was even able to pull out a victory from a 3 lives disadvantage against Kirby against one of my friends, who is one of the fastest characters. Technically, I beat my friends in their own game because I don't have a Wii. Once I get one, it's Training Time

When I play online with the group of friends who have the game, we have an Ike player that's so good that often, no one else in the match wants to go after him. Ike is a good character, but for as much strength as he has, some people think he's too fast.

I never see anyone complaining or whining about Snake. What people don't seem to realize is that his forward smash does just as much damage and has as much launch power as Ike's f+smash. And his ftilt is just plain murder.

It's kinda saddening to see that a majority of the Snake players online are horrible, or have no clue what they're doing. None of them seem to take advantage of the invincibility frames in the middle of his recovery, and very few use his C4 effectively. Plus, they're too obvious. >_>

I don't encounter many players online who use Snake. He's somewhat underappreciated despite being a pretty damn good character.

I see tons of Marth/Ike/Metaknight players, though. Marth and Ike are among the best in the game, but Metaknight doesn't impress me much. His smash attacks are lacking.

It seems like no one's taking the time to learn how to use Snake. While pretty much anyone can use Ike for about five seconds and learn to rack up nine KOs per match (myself included), Snake takes longer to master because of the nature of his moves. I'm convinced a veteran player could become unstoppable with Snake.

Well the reason why people suck with snake is that he is unique compared to the rest. Most players are used to the controls of all the other characters, but if they fight in the same manner using snake, then they make themselves vulnerable to attacks. I have seen someone use Snake effectively. I was only able to beat him when I used G&W.

In order to be good with snake, he has to be the main character that you use.

I don't think Snake is so much different that you can only use him effectively if you dedicate yourself to him fully. It just takes some getting used to.

His special moves are tricky, but his smash attacks work in the same manner as the other characters...for the most part.

But I agree with pretty much everything you've said.
