There's a lack of MLG Zelda videos because there's a lack of people who'd play her in a serious tournament, and get far enough in said tournament that people would care enough about it.

Old thread is old, why I post? *shrugs*


I used to play Sheik exclusively, but that stopped being fun when everybody here picked up Sheik. And everybody knows Sheik dittos are dumb and boring.

So now I play Zelda as one of my mains, striking fear into the hearts of rival crews :laugh:
(But not really.)

<3 Zelda!

I alternate. My skills with Zelda and Sheik are evened out, and having the other form to fall back on in battle is a wonderful thing to have. It rather disappoints me that Sheik is most likely gone from Brawl, because it saved me lots of times to transform into Sheik when I was in peril.

Here's hoping for Sheik in Brawl!

I keep zelda up their on the same level as shiek for myself. Probably tied at 4th best for me. I LIKE zelda better then shiek and can use her better, but there's time when i see a clear advantage shiek would have against an opponent and will probably spam with shiek if the opportunity arises. Zelda can't really spam..she just...wins. lol

My main is Jigglypuff but I generally switch to Zelda to fight other Jigglypuffs around my level or above, and I have had good success with this; I beat Sliq (who is definitely top 7 Puffs in the country) at Pound 2 to get 25th. The Jiggly/Zelda match is ostensibly in Jiggly's favor, but most people aren't patient enough to realize it.

I've been tinkering around with other characters, mainly Link and Sheik, and I'm kinda disappointed and disgusted with myself. I take to the new characters very well, and within an hour of moveset learning and practice, I'm sure that I could beat my Zelda with that character. When I play Zelda afterwards, I feel handicapped. It annoys me how long her WD takes (referring to jump lag), I despise her floatiness, her lack of a quick jab, her vulnerable recovery, her lack of good combos, and her almost worthless spot dodge really irks me. Playing with other characters really points out all the bad things (and good things, sometimes) in your main. It makes me think after playing with other characters, "Why do I keep playing as her? She's so ... ERGH!" I just wanna quit her and start maining these other guys. :urg: I'm so mad at myself... Why can't I be like Gimpyfish? Bottom tier pride.

I love Zelda, and keep playing her because I'm insane like Kevin. Other characters are fun to fool around with too. I'm just a lot better with Zelda...

lol, I still love playing as Zelda,

I play as zelda so much, I can decently beat space animals (That don't suck). I still lose more than I like though.

I am going to a Tournament @ Orlando Gigabits.

I can't decide If i want to see how far I can take Zelda.
Or just go for the win with Marth/jiggs/Shiek

I love that line about space animals. I find that usually is the trick. :]

Good luck at Orlando. I hear the space animals there are pretty awesome.

I found out an awesome technique!

Get on a ledge as Zelda, of course, and hit down, then ^B. She'll let go, but use ^B and in a split second, grab back on the ledge. Now, do this is when and enemy is close, trying to knock you off, you'll hit them with ^B in the split second, sending the up and behind you. Then immediately leg hop-bair.

The don't have enough time to dodge it, because they don't get control of their character until a few seconds later!


Darkmusician, Rapid_Assassin, would you like to join Omneox?

LOL, I tried doing that. But my Sheik loses to Bowser. :( That's a sign that I need to change back to Zelda.

Omneox Of Smash is a clan for brawl, when it's online. The site is a forum, which has topics about the clan, and it's also like a spammed-down version of smashboards. With topics about Brawl, Melee and such. It's great.


Anyway, I hope TP Zelda's new ^B still has a hit box, and hopefully, Shiek is still Zelda's ↓B.

Thanks! I love my sig too!
