New videos are these!

Match 1
Match 2-Although he messed up lot his first stock.

*Drumroll* Tada! These are the latest and greatest videos of Zodiac(Me) using Link!, there actually kinda old but there still pretty good.

NOTE: The character match up thing is spur of the moment.

Vs Yatta Dante(Falcon)

Notice the many fast faller combos I use here to **** and pillage captain falcon, these are just some of many combos. Seriously, mindgaming a fast faller into a grab is one of the most important things you can do, ESPECIALLY so you can combo them just off the edge and set them up for a spin spike.

at 2:04 I boot him and knock him just out far enough that if he uses his up b it will be to laggy any I'll get him on recovery, if he waits to sweet spot I can edge hog, if he does what he did he gets spin spiked, it severely limits the options when you knock fast fallers such as falcon,fox and falco just barley off the edge.

Another thing is using platforms to your advantage in a combo, as I did at 0:30 and 1:00

Another thing, Falcons recovery sucks , **** with your neutral A aerial, A.K.A. "The Boot"

Zodiac VS Vulcan55(Puff)

Notice that I use a well mixed application of spacing and mindgames, as is required to kill a puff, honestly this guy is only puff I fought on a semi consistent basis so I really learned how to fight puff from fighting him, and as far as I can tell now is that mixing mind games with spacing lends itself to beating puff tremendously


More matches!

Not much to say about this one

Zodiac vs YattaDante(Falcon)
YAY! More more falcon ownage! Notice the combos, I like to call them, "Patient combos" cause links combos aren't as fast everyone elses but there more deadly.

Uh... for booting the falcon barely off the edge... why didn't he just double jump and grab the edge, then ledge hop something? there's no way you coulda gotten there in time to force him to use his up b from halfway across the stage, and if you're right at the edge and nair him barely off the edge that means he's at a low percentage and has low hitstun which means he can double jump knee you before you land and l -cancel. IMO not a very good strategy. Also I think you should work on your throw follow ups, if you're going to dthrow fast fallers, you should really be tech chasing with the grab or dash attack, the utilt only works against floaties or at high percentages. Uthrow Utilt would work much better but even that won't work around 0-20.

what match are you talking about?

If your referring to this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B14GHoBrVDE
he came back with a knee which is usually a very good wall of defense, the point was, he was close enough that his only viable options were to either hang back and grab the ledge or jump back up. he chose to jump back up, had he grabbed onto the ledge his options would have been so limited I could have shield grabbed if he attacked coming up, grabbed him if he rolled up, and uaired him if he jumped up.

Also, Your really underestimating the versatility of the utilt, if gets fast fallers above you which is bad posistion to be in for a fast faller vs link.

yea that was the one I was talking about, if he had just grabbed the ledge he woulda been fine, and I've never grabbed a falcon out of a ledge hop nair or knee. Problem with the utilt out of dthrown against fast fallers is that it doesn't connect because they DI down and tech avoiding it.

utilt is great but he's right, out of throws it only works on floaties with dthrow (marth can counter or double jump at 0 iirc) or up throw against fast fallers (I THINK falcon's % is 40ish) so yeah.
