The new template is very nice.........good work.

Metro Knight · Oct 30, 2008

Well, we need to add Smash Bruddha's double matches back and Shieryu's Peach matches

Two cool things we can do are add the date and stage of each match, b/c most of us have gotten better over the past couple of months and that could help people narrow down which matches are the most relevant. Showing the stage could be really helpful for the stage discussions as well, so if I have time tomorrow I will do that.

Awesome job Ardes, you made my not so pretty post look much nicer.

ArdeS · Oct 30, 2008

Thanks Metro; you made it easy by sorting it though. :laugh:

I added the dates that the videos were uploaded onto YouTube beneath the Link user's name. Under each opponent, I tried to put the most skilled or well-known Link first in the group because that's what people will be wanting/searching for. I then tried to organize it chronologically, with the most recent videos first of course. I decided to scrap videos that were more than 7 months old from the list. And finally, the opponents are kind of organized by tier, with the top tier characters being first (Snake, Meta Knight, ROB, etc). The lower tiers are out of order; I didn't think that mattered too much.

Besides stage information, do you guys have any other ideas to make the list more viwer-friendly?

I think it's viewer friendly enough as it has character specific matchups...but then again you could always seperate the pros videos (Legan, Izaw, Deva, Arkive, Blubba, Finns etc.) for users who want to see how pros do their thang (lol), then character specifics...but thats just my opinion.

Yay my videos are in the list!
But since they're there, can users please critique my skills? I need as much as I can so I can become better...thanks

Metro Knight · Oct 30, 2008

We could just give it a Pro label or give it a different color.

ArdeS · Oct 30, 2008

If you've got time Legan add these to the DK section.

Metro_Knight sorted the matches by character match-ups. I simply organized it a little bit more, made it look a little nicer and added the dates to each of them. But thank you anways! :]

I only watched your second video vs Ike, but I'll do what I can to comment.
Sword/Melee - You'll want to work on spacing a little bit more. Use Zair going both towards and away from your opponent. If you end up in your opponent's grabbing-range after using a Zair, that's usually not good news. I noticed you use your Spin Attack and UpSmash very often; just be careful when you use it because those moves are very punishable if they don't hit. I'm sure you know that already.

Projectiles - Mmm, not sure what to say here. Just keep workin' at it and get smarter/faster with those bombs, arrows, and boomerangs! ATs like arrow canceling and bomb sliding will help mix your game up.
Off-Stage & Edgeguarding - You'll need to improve here a little bit. Particularly when you were climbing up an edge, I noticed you only attack. Don't forget that you can roll, jump, and short hop to get back onto the stage. It's all about being unpredictable; don't forget that! When edge-guarding, don't stand back and throw projectiles every time. Sometimes getting aggressive and gimping your opponent with a Bair or well-timed Dair will help a lot. Off-stage, just try to work on your DI.

Hope this helps. :0

Onomanic · Oct 30, 2008

I'll have vids up by the 2nd of November. ;D I'm going

all the way in the friendlies at that Halloween party XD I don't have enough vids of me as Link. :S

lilmister · Oct 31, 2008

@ArdeS
Thanks for the insight...but if you watch my vs Fox videos and the first Ike video you'll see the my edgeguarding game is much better i.e. i use nairs and fairs etc offstage..IMO i don't use projectiles that often to edgeguard as much. I've become so used to using aerials to edgeguard. Lol that second Ike match was wtf

Swordplay · Nov 3, 2008

I may or may not create a video thread of my own. But for now. Thanks to Oddlerm I HAVE NEW VIDS OF MY OWN!!!!

They are in order from newest to oldest. The last 1 is really old.
They are also all online except the last 1 which is offline against my brother.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hVRAvlfw3x4Link vs Link (Me vs Arkive)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dwnsuIp7pRYMe vs DK

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dqB0SkxdXDIMe vs ZSS

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqDyK3n2lQsMe vs wario (my brother)

The 1st and Last 1's have great endings by the way. The middle 2 are just link **** all the way through....

Don't put this in the video arkive (maybe 1st one could go) None of the others are good enough matches

ArdeS · Nov 3, 2008

Cool matches! You're projectile game is pretty top-notch, and your aerial game is certainly better than mine right now.

My favorite is the first video obviously. I need to play Arkive. o____o

NintenJoe · Nov 3, 2008

Here are my videos from a really long time ago:

vs. Lucas (Keys)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYac9moIMmA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YWc_sByySUM

vs. Diddy (Tims)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCKsRGFXaK8
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IV6L4XMon6s&feature=related

I use way too much Gale Boomerang in these matches (something I have learned to restrict) and not enough arrows. Plus, my friend Tim doesn't use bananas in these matches, probably because whenever he does I **** him with them.

Metro Knight · Nov 3, 2008

Dang, that's a lot of videos I need to watch. So far it's just been Swordplay's Arkive match and the ZSS match. Lemme just say this, that ZSS isn't skilled at all lol.

And man, that topic a few months ago about Arkive's Link being **** wasn't kidding O_O

Metro Knight · Nov 4, 2008

that was a fun video, it is good to know that the DAIR will hit jiggly out of his spin like that. Like, was that just a lucky dair, or does it just own the spin hardcore?

Finns7 · Nov 4, 2008

Im pretty sure it owns the spin idk for sure though...I had nothing to lose...

sasook · Nov 5, 2008

Jeez Finns, out of all the big Link players, yours is always the one I watch and go "wait....when did he put 122% on that guy?" You rack up damage like no other O_O

Even though you're a bit heavy on the upsmash

Finns7 · Nov 5, 2008

Yes Upsmash....Idk its like a crack addiction I have.......scrah, ugh aaahh.repeat...repeat repeat........Idk sike yeah It just fits my playstyle right now espeacially on wifi (ganon fight)

Um Ritch I was talking about my own vids that Oddler did not upload.

ArdeS · Nov 6, 2008

Metro, if you click "Quote" at the bottom of Legan's original post (the very first post in this thread), you should still have all of the edited and colored text in tact when making your reply. Just get rid of the Quote brackets at the beginning and end of the post, input what you need, and there you go! An updated video thread! :D

I've got a bit of an UpSmash addiction myself Finns. :laugh:

I'm trying to break it though,; it's too punishable for my tastes.

Legan · Nov 6, 2008

Tell me how to copy the updates without having to do all the color & font changes again and ill update it. Last time I had to manually add all that crap and it was just annoying, though a lot more aesthetically pleasing to the eye.
