Ganon Only Great Cave Offensive metagame discussion

Welcome to the "GOGCO" thread!

Introduction

GOGCO is a game mode founded by Maribro [citation needed] that encorporates Ganon's tremendous launching power, along with the small corridors of GCO, to ensure that each participant knows how to tech. The lava in GCO will instantly kill a Ganondorf who is at 100%, so avoiding these traps while also attempting to smash your opponent into them creates a thrilling match!

1. Ganon Only
2. 2-4 players
3. 5 stocks, 8 minute timer is standard
4. Taunt where possible

Stagelist
Starters:
Great Cave Offensive
Counterpicks:
Great Cave Offensive

Discussion
After playing some matches with varied rulesets I would like to discuss the competitive viability, as well as test out these experimental rules:

1: Increasing the launch rate to 2.0 (or somewhere above 1 if this proves too fun). I feel like the added launch rate gets the game rolling a lot faster, without having to build % to be bouncing from wall to wall.

2: Items on High, Bumpers only.
After testing this today with Ex, I found this to add incredible strategic value and fun mechanics to the mode. The chests that spawn containing in Great Cave Offensive allow for quick access to bumpers (or for the unlucky, explosions), and bumpers can be used both offensively (to chain bump your opponent into lava) or defensively (to cover the lava walls with a bumper so they will lower chance of killing you)
