Reading the Opponent and Potential Punishes
-----------------------------------------------------------


When a character is Flame Choked and they miss the tech they can do 1 of the following options: Roll towards Ganondorf, Roll away from Ganondorf, get-up attack, or no immediate action (waiting, doing nothing).


Here are some Gifs of potential follow ups:


Here's an example of a Reverse D-Smash on Ryu:


Reverse D-Smash on Roy:

Reverse F-Smash:
FC8rme.gif


Reverse Up-Smash:
PUARQY.gif


Backwards short hop Dair:
vrolVG.gif



ALL characters can be hit if they roll towards Ganondorf and you do a Reverse D-Smash, Reverse F-Smash, Reverse Up-Smash or Backwards Short hop Dair. However for Reverse Up-Smash and Backwards Short hop Dair the spacing for some characters are different because of the distance of the roll.

What is a Reverse D-Smash, Reverse F-Smash, and Reverse Up-Smash?

After you flame choke an opponent quickly turn around and do a d-smash, f-smash, or up-smash.

--------------------------------------
Rolling towards Ganondorf
--------------------------------------

Simple List:
Reverse F-Smash
Reverse D-Smash
Reverse Up-Smash
Backwards Short hop Dair
Flame Choke


This the best scenario for Ganondorf. You can kill your opponent the earliest because you will be able to kill your opponent by sending them to the left, right, or top of the screen depending on what you use to punish them. Also you can start a combo off of a Backwards Short hop Dair to get them at kill percent.

--------------------------------------
Rolling away from Ganondorf
--------------------------------------

Simple List:
Wizard Foot
Dash Attack
Running Grab
Flame Choke

SH Fair?

This is the worst scenario for killing the opponent because what is guaranteed kills much later. One positive thing about this scenario is that Flame Choke is guaranteed on every character so you can try to condition them to do a different option for when you want to kill them earlier.
-------------------
Get up Attack
-------------------

Simple List:
F-Smash
D-air
F-air
Shield -> Grab
Flame choke


This scenario will happen a lot with people who don't even bother to try teching or from characters that don't have guaranteed follow ups. If the opponent is in kill percent dash away and then doing a pivot F-Smash is the best option this is guaranteed on ALL characters. If the opponent isn't in kill percent use either Dair to start a combo or use Flame choke.

-----------------------------
No immediate response
-----------------------------

*Needs more testing*

If the opponent doesn't tech, roll, or use get up attack immediately you can use almost any attack on them, However D-Tilt is the safest move to use because it is Guaranteed on everyone if the opponent does nothing.

-----------------------------------------
What if they Tech?

-----------------------------------------
*This section is currently being worked on information here is not conclusive yet*

--------------------------------------
Teching towards Ganondorf
--------------------------------------

Flame choke (All characters)


--------------------------------------
Teching away from Ganondorf
--------------------------------------

You cannot follow up against these 7 characters if they tech:
:4link::4zelda::4palutena::4bayonetta::4falco::4myfriends::4wiifit:

You can Wizard kick everyone else

You can D-tilt
:4littlemac::4bowser:
You can Flame choke
:4bowser:

Do bots always do frame-perfect getups, because I managed to d-tilt and f-tilt a level 9 Dark Pit
This guide is love
Something of this quality does not need to be extremely long (Unlike the stuff that I pour out... Oh god, you should see the one I'm working on right now...) and you didn't make it ultra-extravagant, with just the right amount of images, GIFs to show that these do indeed work, and we as players can easily understand the message of what you get across. Perfect. Make more things. Please.
Nice. It covers how to follow up with and without a missed tech.
hmm...flame choke into reverse D/U-smash? thank you for telling all ganon mains this. I now have a new way crush people's hopes and dreams and I can't wait to try it out when I get on FG later today.
Amazing guide! :)
Perfect. I will refer to this before my matches, thanks!
Nice and concise and my head doesn't hurt by looking at it. 5/5 dude especially since you keep it updated.
Thank you for throwing this our Orange Jacket. It's a great thing to know we have a basic kill setup against that lard Olimar!
Beautiful.
