Oh, okay...

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

Actually, I don't know now.
I've never come across anyone who's meteor canceled Link's dtilt...
Though, I don't know all too much about Melee's properties and such, so you'll have to ask someone else.

But you get what I'm trying to say ^.^
Link's dtilt = sends people down.

Don't worry, I read you loud and clear.

@Dyce: My inner n00b is coming out...I thought Meteor Smashes and spikes were the same thing...?

They're similar, but not quite the same thing.
Spikes are VERY deadly, but meteors can be "Meteor Cancelled". Meteor cancelling is when you jump or uB immediately after recieving a meteor. You will go down slightly from the hit, but will recover instantaneously.

Spikes, on the other hand, will not let you move at all until your stun is over.
There are four total spikes in Melee:
1. Falco's dAir
2. Ganondorf's aerial dB
3. A tipper from Marth's dAir
4. The nipples of CFalcon's dAir (yes, his nipples, not his feet)

Then there are semi-spikes that work just like spikes, except they send you more out than down.
(Fox's Shine, Link's uB, Sheik's fAir, etc.)

Everything else that sends you downward is a meteor and can be meteor cancelled.

And for the record I'm pretty sure that Link's dTilt is a meteor.
And for the other record, I'm pretty sure egruntz is lying about his banning. (I don't think it's humanly possible to recieve 22 points... and still manage to post! )

In that case, the dtilt is a Meteor Smash...I've had wars with Kirbytrying to MSmash him, but he just keeps jumping...I finally managed it, though...

I found out that much from the Smashwiki, but as I said in my previous edited post, Link's dtilt isn't listed as either a meteor or a spike. And it's not listed in the semi-spike either.

As suggested, it shall be, a Linkeorike! ^.^

EDIT:
I have horrible eyes!
Found it.

EDIT x2: Still, "Linkeorite" sounds awesome!

[twilight_hero]

Well, now I feel dumb about the whole "Banned" thing...

 

[Gimpyfish62]

link is really really really cool just like in every other game he's ever been in. his final smash is too good for recovery n_n

 

[Legolastom]

I think its useful for a lot more Gimpy...

And egruntz can you describe just how his arrows have changed?

 

[Beno]

Can link block foxs lasers now? just by stanting idle or crouching facing there direction?

He can recover with his super?! O_O
I really should have tested that out! >.> I'm definitely adding that to the front page!

That's just ****

Well, they just come out a LOT faster, and are stronger than before I suppose.

No clue.

 

[lime_backwards]

Personally, I am going to use Purple Link. Mainly because everybody is going to use Dark Link, and nobody likes a conformist. Plus I just want to be known as Florida's best Purple guy =]

I am rather pleased Link was given some extra speed overall. I am not so sure I will use the arrows much unless they cancel out projectiles like they do in Melee. I do have some plans for the Galerang though, but you can wait until we all get the game until you start to do it too.

 

[Jok3r]

I think i will still use the original costume FTW. I think Link would be more than just a balanced character in Brawl he going to be "The best there was and the best there ever will be" hehe =}

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

I'm more of a Red Tunic Link guy myself. Green works nicely, too. No one picks a character's original colors anymore.

 

[kin3tic-c4jun-3]

Stop talking about how much Link is going to pwn all.

While it's clear that Link has been improved, we still don't know how much the other characters have been improved, or what new counter moves characters could have.

It was a demo, there were limited characters to put Link against, the guy was there for one day.

Let's avaoid placing characters onto a teir until the game has actually been played aggresively.

My final note is that while I am pointing out the fact that Link may NOT pwn all, I still love him and he seems to have good improvements thus far.

Not complaining, just talking some sense.

Now you killed my buzz. way to go. Can't you let us have our fun?

 

[kin3tic-c4jun-3]

Sorry, kind of negative, I know. But still.

 

[jc1sttwin]

Link's FS good for recovery? that is pretty cool

Link just seems to be getting better

 

[FUZ]

Nice thread egruntz! reading this has really actually made my day ^_^

So the dark link costume is the same as how he appeared in Twilight princess? thanx man.

Talking about how much Link has improved / changed is what this thread is based off of. And being the Link fans that some of us are, of course we're going to praise that our favorite character (in some opinions) has been improved. We're not particularly predicting where Link will be listed in the tier list, but rather more on how much Link will kick some ***.

Sure thing!

For the last day or so I've been searching through E for All videos looking for the fourth Link taunt. Then I realized, there's only three tants.

Taunts added to the first post under "Extra Information"!
We have the returning Melee form, the Twilight Princess taunt, and the Navi fairy taunt!
Thanks to Wyvern for supplying the link to the TP taunt!

Hope this helped!

 

[jc1sttwin]

Link has that battle taunt from TP really?

That is cool can't wait to kill people and make it seem so easy making people mad

 

[ImpactAR]

Great info. You satisfied most of my Link curiousity.

Side B: Gale Boomerang
I've received a few questions on this one! The Gale Boomerang does indeed pull an opponent back toward you, which is an awesome feature to add! Oddly, there's times when this function does and doesn't work. In some occasions I'd easily pull an opponent to me, and carry on with some sort of attack / combo. Then there were other situations where the Gale Boomerang would hardly move my enemies at all. Perhaps the Gale Boomerang works with the damage amount an opponent has already taken? That'd sure be something interesting to test out! Hurry, someone call Trevyn!

I was really wondering how the Gale Boomerang would work. Seems like you're still unsure yourself. I WAS NOT AT E FOR ALL, but I have a thought. The Gale Boomerang hits when it flies forward, but when it comes back it will pull the opponent instead of hitting. Can you think back and say this might be the formula for the Gale Boomerang?

Also, FYI, it looks like you don't have Link's Dash Attack listed.

I use YL's original colors, usually...plus black sometimes...

No clue.

Speaking of which (not exactly), what are Link's idle animations? You should add that to the first post...

You're exactly right with the Gale Boomerang; I wasn't too clear on describing it in my first post, was I? Also, thanks for the tip on the dash attack!

New information:
It turns out that Link does NOT have a purple suit.
I wasn't all too sure about it in the first place, so I hunted down some Link information, found a listing of his alternate costumes, and discovered that Link indeed has no purple colors.

However, to counter out this heart-breaking news, I give you a better look at the yellow, dark, and white costumes!

That's just too sexy for words.

 

[LinkSpecialist]

Wow, no wonder you were so in awe the first time you saw the Yellow costume!

 

[Lin_]

Dude, the Yellow costume like, rocks.
And I can't wait to see TP Link fixing his hair XD

 

[Fyacin_the_Deadeyed]

Yellow completes my life.

 

[NEON666]

ii think im jus going to stick with the green link and allot of people dont know but the color matters allot to people but the yellow link looks so beutiful *tears*:blush:

 

[killbeast301]

normally I hate yellow, but that does look sweet. They picked a nice shade. Still think he looks best in standard green though

 

[jc1sttwin]

The Gold tunic does look cool

I want to see a clear pic of the Purple tunic
sense i think i'm gonna wear that tunic and the White and the Green tunic

 

[NEON666]

i feel you there i wish they would come out with the shadow link thought that would be awsome

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

Gold Tunic is totally a nod towards the Rupee Armor in TP.

And does anyone else think that the White Tunic looks a bit like the Zora Armor? Maybe that's just the way it looks in the picture though. I could be way off.

 

[lime_backwards]

It did at first, but then you realize "Rats, it is just his hair =("

Also, I am rather depressed there is no purple tunic. *sugh* I guess it is back to good ol' blue then.

 

[TheMastermind]

Yellow sucks!
Gold rocks!
Hes wearing a gold costume.

 

[jc1sttwin]

I thought there was a PURP tunic?

There isn't !?

 

[NEON666]

so what tunic colors are going to be added

 

[ZenJestr]

Whenever I play as Link I will only use the same 3 colors....Gold, Red, Black...

I cant wait............

when I first saw the gold tunic I thought it was the Magic Armor....but it wasnt...and I was sad....then I looked at it again and I was happy...hee hee.....

 

[Legolastom]

Any word on the shields?

 

[jc1sttwin]

I think the Gold Tunic has the Mirror shield

from the pics i seen it looks like it has a red outline

 

[Keto]

It's good to know that Link has a good chance to be high tier.

 

[Fawsto]

Thank you! Thank You! Thank you!

I am new in the Forum and I was dragged here to see some Link infos and... I am AMAZED!

I am a Brazilian Link player, those news posted are more than good for me!

Hail to Link!
