King K. Rool vs Ganondorf
Matchup Tips and Strategies
When playing King K. Rool against Ganondorf, it's crucial to avoid exposing your belly, as Ganondorf's powerful smashes can easily break through it, leading to significant stock loss. Be mindful of his NAir, which can hit you from unexpected angles due to K. Rool's larger hurtbox; instead, focus on using your projectiles and armor to control space. During recovery, steer clear of Ganondorf's DAir, and aim to recover high to avoid being edgeguarded by his Up B. Lastly, maintain your shield strategically, as excessive shielding can leave you vulnerable to his command grab, while also keeping an eye on his recovery for potential edgeguard opportunities when he’s offstage.
