Link's E for All Expo Report

[twilight_hero]

As an idle animation... not when you lock onto characters : P

I mean can he only do his sword spin after he killed one of the characters?

Not the victory thing. The little, "Hey, tell me what to do, I'm bored with targeting this guy and then just standing there" thing.

 

[Legolastom]

I know Twilight that was a rhetorical question because the (As I so aptly put it) "Sword spin" (Not the attack the thing he does in TP after you defeated an enemy) is a taunt.

I know what an idle animation is (E.g. Falcon stretching, Link shaking his shield).

 

[Knome]

Man, I really wanna see a pic of Dark Link, you can barely see any features on him in the vid! All you see is black =[

 

[woah42]

Great information!

 

[jc1sttwin]

I know i wanna see like a pic from ign of DL

the videos just has a dark figure running around

Don't...put rhetorical questions on the Internets...it's nearly impossible to convey that it's a rhetorical question.

Thanks for all of the replies guys! ^.^
I added Gimpyfish's quote on Link, because all of it is pretty much true, and I agree with his statements.

Also it makes my thread look nice and fat

Now, there's nothing more to add to my first post. I'll go ahead and remove that yellow reminder at the bottom, then! Hope I shared enough information with y'all! If anything pops up that I somehow forgot to mention, then I'll be sure to add it to the first post ASAP!

 

[Lootic]

Was he still able to do quick stops?

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

I'm curious about the animations too, but I doubt ANYONE who was at EforAll with a controller linked up to Brawl in their hands working with a two minute time limit was... just standing about.

 

[Princz15]

Are u serious???
Egruntz....is gimpy telling the truth???
Is it true you can't keep your arrows held for as long as you want?
They automatically realeased when fully chraged?

 

[KratosAurion192]

Sounds like the up-B n00bs will die XD

How is this at all significant?

How much is link going to lose from autofiring charged arrows, was this a useful thing in melee?

Even though arrows are going to be much more used this time around it seems a trivial nerf.

 

[Lin_]

Hopefully
That was one of the reasons why I NEVER let my friends play Link. All I hear is "SHEEEAHHH" and it gets annoying. They don't seem to realize that Link has a whole array of other good moves too.

 

[Lootic]

Why would someone only use up b, if u miss u are screwed, I think the Up b noobs already has died.

 

[jc1sttwin]

The move is pretty useless in the air

But it SPIKES well on land
so I think the nOOBS are gonna die

Sense the moved was Nerfed
what a shame -_-

 

[Florida]

Semi-spiking with the spin slash wasn't the only use for the move; it can still be used affectively, to a point. A major use I see it being used for is breaking combos, or getting out of stiff situations. C-c-c-c-c-combo breaker!

EDIT:
Rofl, I just noticed this: if you abbreviate the thread title [E for All (Expo) Report: Link], you'll get EFARL, which sounds hella close to E for All itself =P

Yay for eastereggs!

P.S.:
I'm currently working on making this thread in video format, which will be displayed soon on YouTube! I'll post the link to the video when it's complete! Just a heads up!

EDIT x2:

It is up!! :D

 

[Princz15]

NNOOOOOOOO!
Egruntz you lied!

You said his first taunt was his melee flip hair thing which it is not according to today's update! **** how can Sakurai do that to us??!!!
HOW CAN HE DESTROY THE LEGENDARY HAIR FLIP???

 

[Lin_]

WHAT?? THE MELEE HAIR FLIP IS GONE??? THIS IS BLASPHEMY.
It used to piss off my friends so much and now it's GONE??? Why? WHY???

 

[Florida]

Wow, I seriously thought that the hair flip was his regular taunt =P
My bad.

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

Maybe his hair flip will be one of his stand-by animations.

 

[NEON666]

i hope so too i think the new taunts are awsome and now you have 3! thats going to piss people off in 3 different ways

I am going to use the victory sword twirl in the middle of a match. It is going to irritate my friends to no end.

i agree, i dont think the fairy taunt looks that cool i hope it heals you a little bit now that would be amazing

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

I've already got it all planned out:

dTaunt to start the match. (Yep, right off the gun. Yep, I'm a mad man.)
fTaunt after taking a savage beating. (Once I get the time, that is. I don't want TWO savage beatings!)
uTaunt after the winning blow. (I'm going to get one of these off at least once per match )

Glad it was Link who got the major taunt update today.

That is one of the most arrogant ideas ever!

I LIKE it!

Thank you, thank you.

Oh, and my Link DOMINATES Foxes and Falcos in Melee.

 

[killbeast301]

I'm stealing your taunt plan

 

[lime_backwards]

GOOD! SHOW 'EM WHOSE BOSS!!!

But seriously, they deserve the ridicule,...

 

[X-x-Dyce-x-X]

Teehee! :blush: Go right ahead!

Fox does. He's been too good for too long.
...but I kinda like Falco

 

[Legolastom]

Get a bomb out before you do a taunt though just in case of emergencies.

"Gets these mother****ing bombs off this mother****ing plane!!"

 

[lime_backwards]

I never said Falco wasn't cool, but he deserves the ridicule because of the "tire" ****.

Bombs on a plane?
A STATEMENT LIKE THAT IS A FEDERAL OFFENSE!
SOMEONE ARREST THIS MAN!

 

[Irow]

I find Falco a lot more annoying. I just hate the sounds the space animals make when doing an attack, or getting hit, hell they're just plain annoying.

That better have been you mocking the state of terror in America.

OR ELSE!

Er, anyways... if your able to transfer videos from an SD card to a computer (BRAWL videos) then expect a lot of Link combo vids from me in the future XD

I never thought of that! That would make Brawl even more amazing that we ever thought it could be.

 

[Irow]

Doesn't the video feature have a short time limit?

 

[Legolastom]

3 Minutes... but since when are combo videos just one long match? they are lots of small segments.
