Anybody else find Link to be slower in Brawl

[PitMasta]

My 2nd Main in Melee is Link, but now i find him to be way slower...just for some reason i find links attacks to be slower than they used to, for example, his Fsmash, anybody else notice this?

And BTW, Link will always be a badass, no matter what!

 

[Aurashade]

I'm not going to flame you (although this is prime meat right here).

No, Link's footspeed has increased.

 

[LeeHarris]

Link was the slowest runner in Melee. He is now the fastest (or 2nd, maybe) faller in the game with decent run speed. 2 aerials have next to 0 landing lag. His smashes are by no means slow and they are strong.

So... no

??? I don't care what you say I guarantee you Link is going to be moving like this in Brawl: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ld4jb9Z9OYA

Of course he's never going to move like that. We're talking about speed in terms of relativity. You can't even really combo in Brawl. If you're going to compare game to game it'd be as useful as talking about the speed differences of Ryu in 3S compared to MvC2.

I agree.... everyone else has slowed down to...

Welcome to brawl...

 

[MrPhox]

ok, now seriously

put brawl in your wii

play brawl link

take brawl out of your wii

put in melee

play melee link




compare speed



i agree the game has slowed down in GENERAL but if you specifically feel link he has sped up!
and i'm not talking relative to the game being slowed down.

i'm saying if you put two TVs together and compare, you will see that brawl link runs and attacks quicker. The aerial movement will obviously be quicker in melee.

I think Link is slower but he may be actually faster. If you control Toon link for a while and switch to link. You feel the slowness pretty badly.

 

[degreekelvin]

I'll admit that when I first picked up Link in Brawl I also felt that he was a bit slower.

Now that I've played him much more I think he's about the same as melee, maybe even faster. I think what gives him the appearance of being slow is his running animation. It might just be me, but he just looks sluggish when he runs.

Just my opinion.

i agree, things are slowerr, Links footspeed may have increased, but his attack speed has def. slowed down

Exactly, and TL is NOT that fast...

 

[LeeHarris]

Also, another thing that may give you the impression that he's slower (because his attacks for the most part aren't) is that his projectiles come out much slower. His boomerang takes longer to pull out as well as the bomb.

 

[Awesomeasusual]

I agree with you, he feels much slower. However, this is only because his jump doesn't go very high at all, so he feels heavy.

 

[Terywj [태리]]

His footspeed is faster, his fall-speed is faster.

His weapons take slower to whip out.

[Link Lord]

No. I don't, except for his bombs.

And the F-Smash is considerably faster in Brawl.

 

[0RLY]

Link feels like he's fat in brawl. So does Ganon. Though everybody says Link is faster, he really doesn't feel like it. I could at least keep up with my opponents with Link in melee, but I can barely chase after anyone with Link in brawl. His aerial movement speed is also very slow.

 

[Lunar6]

Really, he's not. His tilts are al faster (yes they are. especially the utilt), the fsmash can be strung at least as quickly as in Melee, his fair is clearly faster in attack speed seeing as how there's a good chance both hits will actually connect (and it has a smudge less start-up lag), and his running speed even has a faster animation in addition to the increased speed (it's not a very big increase, but it's noticeable nonetheless). Hell, even his arrows and boomerang fly faster (his fully-charged arrow is one of the fastest-flying projectiles in the game in fact). It's just that speed in general isn't as big a factor in Brawl as it was in Melee (that's Brawl 101, sure, but it can't be stressed enough) but fundamentally, Link's speed has gone from sluggish to only slightly below average.
