My third video, this one features our Link player, Spaz, at his best. This one does not use the same one-night stock that my others before use almost exclusively. Spaz uses the classic controller and we had no classic controller that night, so we got him one. After several hours of brawl playing, countless hours sifting through the footage, and a few less putting it together, this is the end result, enjoy.

Releasing a video with opponents that are brain dead is not OK. Those people for the most part stayed still while you wailed on them or rammed right into your sword. Capture more footage before you release a video.

Spaz here

It's funny you say they were brain dead. They weren't those were all real battles the only mediocre player there was Pwnda. Other wise they were, Chaos and WT which as you have have seen are no easy match. Can you not believe that those arrows were just well timed and well placed. Anyways I will get better with the gale boomerang then I will show you another video with boomerang tactics. Take it easy.

Here's the thing: if I had footage of Spaz being wailed on to demonstrate that the opponents are in fact not "brain dead" It would defeat the purpose of a Link highlight video. Plus the video would still get similar criticism along the lines of 'That Link sucks, he let himself get beat-up on!' but there is footage in the video like that, it's in the credits section. Also, your statements about "stayed still while [Spaz] wailed on them or rammed right into [his] sword" are incorrect or exaggerated. WT and I don't take it easy on Spaz, we make him work for every kill and punish him for every mistake we can, Spaz (Garrsam) himself can confirm it if you don't believe me.WT and I were more often in the process of performing another action, such as a dodge, shield, an attack, or recovery when Spaz took the opportunity to punish us as is expected of any Smash Bros player worth his salt. We were hardly standing still or running blindly into swords.

It was a good video, but it had it's obvious flaws. Try to avoid putting clips in where the opponents are completely whiffing. A few clips the opponent was just jabbing in the wrong direction, or completely missed a dair and got usmashed. Stuff like that just feels equivalent to beating up a sandbag. They're not doing anything productive at that moment and are just leaving themself open for punishment. Other than that, good video.

It was an ok link video. You dont make very good use of links advanced techniques and as a link mainer I know you wont get very far without incorporating them. Other than that, it looks like you have a good basic understanding of link so nice job on that.

It was decent at best, I liked your work with sonic much better. I felt that it was nowhere near as good as linkeggon or whatever its called, so don't just think i hate link. I'm checking out the fox now.
