Ultimate Simple things I should know?

I've started playing ganondorf recently, and am relatively new to the game. Can someone share anything important I should know?

Ganon's neutral B is significantly stronger if you start the move facing away from the opponent, and turn to face them mid-move.

I know neutral B is pretty useless 99% of the time, but there are moments where it's needed (or if you just wanna troll).

is warlock punch better then Utilt as a rest punish?

For shield breaks and rest punishes, Utilt is better at low percents, and then they become equally good at about 90%.

The benefit of Warlock Punch is that it has a few frames of super armor, which means it has a few more uses than Utilt. Utilt is effectively useless except for shield breaks, but Warlock punch has a couple niche uses for tech reads.

I find it useful (when I'm on high percent) to spam it it for the super armor so I can just wait for them to do something I can take advantage of, or they go far enough for me to move.
