Ahh, really great match. Love to finally see some Zelda action one on one, since it's so much harder to really get a sense of what's new when everything is so hectic.
Dash attack looks awesome, looks like it has a larger hitbox to me - and the sweetspot is noticeably stronger (and maybe a bit bigger?).
I think that was Bill Trinen playing her, right? I was a bit disappointed that he didn't use her nair or new dspecial at all, because I would have liked to see the new nair with increased hitstun + benefiting from the decrease in SDI effectiveness.
Regardless, her Farore's just looks ridiculously impressive each time I see it now - KOing from 32%! Reappearing so fast!
Nayru's is bigger and looks to have less ending lag(??? I might have been imagining this) so that's always a plus.
Grab did look faster, I hope I wasn't just imagining that.
Her u-air looked a good bit faster, though it also looked like it had less knockback for sure.
Dsmash still looks fast and reliable, but disappointingly had its range reduced. Still a good option since it's so fast and safe, thankfully.
Fsmash didn't look too different, maybe a bit quicker/stronger, but not too much?
Usmash pulling Fox in after she whiffed the first hit was cool to see! It does look shorter, which gives less opportunity to SDI out (and SDI is less of a factor now anyway, so that's going to be very nice).
utilt and ftilt look a bit faster, certainly, but nothing there that I would say truly stood out to me.
Dins was unfortunately disappointing to see. It looked almost slower, and the explosion was nowhere near as disjointed and deceptive as it was in Brawl. The Din's that landed directly behind Fox and failed to hit him would have hit him for sure in Brawl, and it looked like the sourspot of Din's was pretty weak. The one sweetspotted Din's he landed
did look powerful, but it's in a sad state right now from the looks of it
OVERALL though, she looks definitely improved from her Brawl self, faster in pretty much all respects, still rocking those strong kill moves (lost a couple, gained a couple - but imo, the ones she gained will prove to be more reliable than those she lost), got a more reliable recovery, and of course has a few tricks up her sleeve that weren't even showcased at all in the video, such as her nair and Phantom. - I'm very pleased with her direction so far. It doesn't look
top tier material, at least not right off the bat per se, but I do hope it's enough to knock her up from second to last - and I believe it will be!
