am i the only one who transforms just for recovery?

[ScottSadistic]

one of the things i do when i get knocked off the stage is hurry and transform to zelda and use farores wind since its much better then sheiks vanish for recovery...its a really effective tactic...yeah, i am better with sheik, but its better then taken a fall. it has gotten me out of a lot. does anyone else do this?

 

[Witchking_of_Angmar]

Zelda's recovery isn't as versatile as shiek's so it's not much better. Most of the time, it's not worth it, as you may still be killed and then have to sacrifice your invincibility to transform.

 

[CORRUPTiON]

Yeah, as Witchking said, transforming leaves you quite vulnerable. You're also forced to waste your invincibility by transforming once you die.

 

[h1roshi]

no your not the only one. ive seen a whole bunch of people do it. its just not that popular cuz then you end up as zelda and when you transform back you can get punished for it. i do it from time to time...peace

[Dragmire]

the only flaw of it is once you get back what do you do WAH WAh wah!!

 

[ScottSadistic]

well, dragmire...i just fight as zelda...im good with zelda...just better as sheik.

 

[Zane Fleia]

If I'm too far out, I'll transform. It's a better chance than just dying, and my Zelda isn't too bad. Just knock them back, jump away, Down+B. If you die, oh well, it was worth a shot.

 

[Teczer0]

I never use it really because you're going to get forced off the stage again anyway probably.

It basically delays your death and maybe forces you to transform back which is bad .

 

[Zane Fleia]

I suppose it's only really worth it if you can play Zelda as well.

...Or if it's your last stock anyway. ^_^

 

[h1roshi]

lol, that has happened to me. i was going to die anyways with sheik, so i transformed into zelda, came back and won. it felt so good, lol...peace

[Dragmire]

I'm not saying zelda is bad it's just me lol

zeldas recovery isnt very smart to use. unless u sweetspot with zeldas recovery, u will have very bad lag when landing back on the stage. u will be left standing there for Fox to land a partly charged Usmash.

O_O but other than that, zeldas recovery has great range

 

[Teczer0]

Actually if you LAND on the stage with zelda's recovery the landing lag is fairly minimal and not too bad. If you your recovery goes above the stage then you land on the stage then the lag is really bad.

 

[Vro]

If you manage to sweetspot with Zelda's recovery, you can down b ledge hop to regrab and change as sheik that way.

 

[Teczer0]

What if they grab the edge while you change?
