ZGD: Livin by a thread.

[AlanHaTe]

for some random reason I stopped receiving email notifications from this and the other threads D:

ohh and hi! xD

 

[#HBC | Scary]

Alan's back! Sup man?!

 

[AlanHaTe]

nothing awesome really, I still play and all, getting prepared for a summer tourney because M2K is coming D:

 

[ぱみゅ]

Good luck there, tell everyone I said hi.
I won't be able to make it because when I started working I signed a contract for 90 days and I've only completed like 10. I hope I can get enough merits so they can give me permission to go, but I'm pretty sure that won't be possible.

Also tell them to use Force Replays and send them to us (Smash San Luis) so we can upload them, ERV has an insanely good internet speed.

 

[AlanHaTe]

sure thing. just try anyway, maybe they let you if you know what to say xD

and about the replays, I'm pretty sure force replays will be used, but the part of sending them to you I'm not that sure, but I'd be a lot better to do that instead of doing it their way and having to wait for 3 months for the replays to be uploaded :/

we should try to talk about this before the tournament and in the tourney page to avoid any stupid thing from happening

 

[lolreconlol]

The ONLY thing stopping me from using Zelda as my main is her recovery. How do you control it? If someone is on the edge, what do you do?

 

[ぱみゅ]

Never recover directly upwards. Try to use Farore's Wind always diagonally and hope your opponent doesn't punish you before landing.
Also, you can sometimes try to save your jump when using Farore and if they DO punish you before landing and send you to the other side of the stage, you would have more options.
If they hit you with a strong Uair though... Let's just say there are several reasons why Zelda is bottom tier :/

Thanks! When you're under the level, how do you recover? 99.9% of the time, I go straight into the side of the level. I've been having a ton of fun with her thought, especially sending people flying with her dsmash and then spiking them.

 

[Fluttershy]

if the person is on the edge when you are under the floor if you have a jump use it and try for a 80/75, or a 100/105 degree angle depending on which direction you are facing
if you don't have a jump just try and hit them and hope you can get on the edge.
if they are not on it then use the same process if you have a jump and if you don't try and get perfectly at a 90 degree angle with the edge
Farore's wind's distance can be change by slightly tilting it enough to where it is registered in that direction (default is up). it'll take a little practice though...

omg smash 4 news in 10 mins...

No Zelda yet. I hope she doesn't look like SS Zelda, which would be hard with her Sheik transformation. Link looks awesome so I'm happy

[lolreconlol]

She better come back!

 

[KayLo!]

There's no way Zelda won't be on the roster. They're clearly desperate for female characters if Wii Fit Trainer made it in.... ;;

LOL, WFT is in?

 

[Rizen]

edit wow, they added another today.

[BJN39]

Hey I'd play as wii fit trainer, she seems like a nice troll character.

I mean look at dose moves, she'll even randomly give herself health advice mid battle!

but peach and zelda better make it in and zelda better be buffed like crazy.

 

[Rizen]

Smash health advice: "Don't get grabbed".

 

[~automatic]

Don't get hit is also good advice.

 

[#HBC | Scary]

This will be a blast!!!

 

[Mocha]

Zelda will be back, with no Skyward Sword appearance, but a new, elegant look from a new Zelda game coming in the future. Oh, and she will be top tier. I have meditated upon the waterfalls of Skyloft day by day, without falling off. And our beloved Nayru's face appeared in a constellation within the night sky, and she whispered words of hope and wisdom, of promises of the one day Zelda would return, with powers beyond our imagination. However, I could not tell if that was a smile... or a sneer. We can only await and see...




































... and hai guys, how've you been? xD

 

[AlanHaTe]

Let's just hope she can do things right this time, like no helpless fall after Din's, now I have a little hope of that being removed, I mean, tripping is gone!

But on the other hand... Link's recovery still seems to be the same useless recovery so if they didn't fix that, there's still a chance of Zelda's helpless fall state after Din'snot being removed :/

 

[Mocha]

I have hopes for many of her moves getting a tweak.

Have you guys considered the possibility of her having an entirely new move-set? I'd still miss a Lightning Kick though...

 

[Rizen]

(Why is Link being discussed on 4 different character threads lol?)

Zelda's moves in essence aren't bad but she needs major buffs IMO. I'd like to see Din's not freefall like Alan mentioned. Zelda's upB should push along slanted walls when invisible instead of stopping on them, similar to how Wolf's upB moves.

Some moves seem overpowered with buffs but then you think of MK and they're still not at his level, lol.

 

[Mocha]

Four? I saw just that one other thread I was posting in. I guess he just has a lot of love. Poor Snake

Yeah I posted this on the Zelda discussion thread, but I think pretty much all of her special moves need some work. They are ALL bad. I also wouldn't mind if she had her Light Bow (obviously not with the power in her final smash). I wouldn't mind having that over Din's Fire to be honest, even if I love my magic yumz.

If Zelda is still going to struggle with approaching, I'd hate to fight Megaman then. Over half of his moves seem like projectiles lol

 

[Rizen]

Maybe just 3 socials, Bowser, Zelda, Link talked about Link +the SSB4 thread. I thought maybe Wolf or Ganon threads but they haven't since E3.

^Light arrows would be great. TP ending chase light arrows would be nice, with some aiming but not as much as Pit's and less rapid fire but more power and stun.

What is everyone's opinion about Zelda having her TP sword for moves like tilts and jabs?

 

[Mocha]

I wonder if they would work like Link's bow, in which the arrow would travel further if you charged it? Cause if it did, it'd still be kind of mediocre. This may be stretching it, but it would be kind of cool to have some enchanted arrows. Like ice arrows, you can freeze them (like PK Freeze), fire could cause damage over time (like white pikmin, but not to that extent), and thunder arrows can stun them (like zss's down smash). Hm, not sure, this would probably be kind of gimmicky, and I'm still not seeing the camping viability if the arrows are easily dodgeable. I can imagine she would do some crazy things though if she used it mid range, or even closer to them - if she could manage to stun or freeze them, then follow up.

Now that you mention her sword in TP, I realized something interesting about Zelda. If you look at all the games she's been in (including Smash), she has used a sword, bow, and magic at some point. This can make for some interesting versatility with her move-set options. Imagine having her taunt be able to switch between a warrior mode, then to mage mode. If she was able to change up her move-sets from a taunt, then who would need Sheik?

Hm? My mind wandered again, didn't it? Let me get back to Earth...

But yes, giving her a sword would be interesting, though it's hard to imagine her moving so fluidly in a dress and sword. I can see her sword being enchanted, perhaps with different elemental effects (for example Din's Fire could just be the fire damage from her sword). Oh my god, someone stop me from all the rpg thoughts....

 

[KuroganeHammer]

I think the sword would be a great idea. I just want to know what she looks like. :<

 

[Rizen]

^

Magic arrows like Link in Brawl-?

I like the idea of a sword to give Zelda some weaker but easier to hit with moves. For example, Bair is still a LK but Fair is like a weaker version of Marth's Fair. Maybe have jab, Utilt, Ftilt be weak but wide slashes to help space.

 

[KuroganeHammer]

Zelda's arms are too long. Imagine a sword on top of her ftilt range as it is now.

It wouldn't be longer than Marth or Link's Ftilt. She might have a different animation. *shrug*

 

[KayLo!]

Sup people, I know y'all've been up to something since the 14th.

 

[Mocha]

Been wondering that myself lol. If I'm more active around here lately than the rest, then that must mean it's really dead. To be honest, it's really all the Smash 4 news that's been keeping me lurking about here more often. Also, are we going to be having a new set of character boards when Smash 4 comes out? I'm curious to see how many of us will keep using Zelda/posting around the new board when that happens, along with new people that use her.

 

[ぱみゅ]

The SSB4 board already existed and it was revamped when it was officially announced, giving it its own sections like character and gameplay discussions.
Right now, I mod the Megaman and Wii Fit Trainer boards. :3

I bought a 3DS last week (finally!) and just today started paying for the presale of Pokémon Y (yay!).

 

[~automatic]

Congratulations in the 3DS buddy.

 

[KayLo!]

The new Smash 4 boards seem to be pretty dead-ish so far, mostly just new people coming in and throwing around random guesses about how the new game'll be. Personally, I don't plan on migrating 'til the game actually comes out.... =X

 

[~automatic]

Some of the people who have been on the site forever and post in the Smash 4 boards made a private social group so they wave of derpies doesn't bug them while they have a more level headed discourse. Also, they're about to wrap up their game of mafia and start a new one in case anyone wants to play, lol.

 

[#HBC | Scary]

Who's going to SKTAR? I'm definitely gonna try to be there.

Yea it's been a tad too dead lol.

 

[KayLo!]

I will not be there, but Keitaro always puts on a good tourney. You better make us proud, boo!

 

[#HBC | Scary]

I do my best as always. I need one breakout performance one of these days!!

Riot summon!!!!

 

[Alacion]

Wow at the new matchup chart... My only complaint is that Wolf should never be worse than Fox.
