Out of curiosity, 8000, do you have any match vids? It just occurred to me that I have never seen your Link in action.

Unfortuneately i haven't been able to find the equipment or the time to record any matches. When i do find the time/equipment i'll record some matches but i don't have anything recorded yet.

Sweet. I am eager to see how you play. Just in case you never knew about it, you can find a $60 converter from the A/V cables to USB (with software).

Heck, I play Young Link and I still drew inspiration from these two guides. Kudos to 8000 and HDL for workin' so hard. I gotta finish mine up so it's actually worth something...

Guess what?!

I got a capture card and i'll put up matches within the next 2 weeks at most.

This also means my visual guide should be done in about a month.

:cry:

My capture card is ****ed up. :(

*sigh*

I'm gonna use Lanowen's capture card but that's when he gets his new computer. :dizzy:

I'm not sure how long that's gonna be but my computer as well as my own capture card are being jerks so you'll have to wait a while before i can upload any videos. Sorry for this, it's gonna mean a HUGE delay from what i promised before hand.

Too much stuff at the moment for me to attempt to record vids. I don't even have time to practice.

Like the new avatar Buzz.

That's really odd, I must've gotten my capture card the exact same day you did 8000. Why does it suck, what kind did you get? Mines kinda bad, I can't figure out how to record the sound. Anyways, for anyone that wants to check out a couple of my matches, search on google video "samus link".

It has a 3 second lag time from anything i record. I found out how to fix the problem but i have to record on a blank tape or DVD on a VCR or DVD player and then transfer the recording from that with the "capture card" to the computer. Unfortuneately my VCR is outdated and doesn't work i could use it on my DVD player but i'm not sure how to record with it and i don't have the time to figure it out.

Lol! have you added the grab,uthrow, jump, spin attack combo yet? I found it leet as i killed someone with 0% in the air with it!,
Whoever you played musn't have recovered from that fairly well. It'd be better off as a finishing combo than when they start with 0%. Throw in a couple utilts too.

MATCH VIDS!!!

I recorded them today, they're very big and first they will be put onto a DVD since Lanowen doesn't want to upload them onto the net just yet. I'll do that myself but i have to figure out how :confused:

Anyways the main point is i have match vids recorded now. They're OK, not my best performance, i do a lot of rolls instead of WD which i'm pissed about, i guess it was just a bad day. They should be up relatively soon and i hope to record some more in the near future...very near.

I put them up but the download time is horendous. I'm too lazy to find a good file hosting service, so go ahead and put them up.

It'll save me the agony.

I've had no spare time to work on it.

Also i'm very lazy, i have no idea when i will update the guide.

As for the videos i have some ****ty ones already up but download time is horrible. I'll post a link to one or two of the videos but i'm finished playing SSBM competitively. I'll give advice to others but i'm done with the game unless it's just for fun at people's homes.

Don't get me wrong i'll play SSBR for sure. I'm just sick of SSBM and i don't put in enough effort or time to improve anymore. It's just not fun for me anymore so i don't see the point of plating competitively.

Andy, your a smash bully... look what u have done to 8000.....!!! Ahh well ill revenge you 8000 at this ottawa tourney, Andy ur going down lol!!

PS use Windows Movie Maker to edit ur vids and save them in a lower quality to get those file sizes down. I recomend the broadband setting (around 300 kps) as it will get u videos around 10 megs and are still good quality.

8000 knows of him, but does not know him personally (at least to my knowlege), nor will he ever during the SSBM era if things on his side progress the way they are now.

Therefore, 8000 and The Germ will never play eachother in the SSBM era, and sorry to say, but 8000 too knows that it is true, he does not have the skill to beat The Germ due to several life-choices he made.
