About time I get a video up of my Zelda...
Nothing too special here, just wanted to upload something. Critique is appreciated, though I can already see some mistakes I did. Too many Phantoms (like I said, I like my glowy purple hands~). Oh and the reason I used Din's more than I should have was to snipe the Gordos. I had a hard time working around those things. Played kinda defensive in general, didn't feel like committing to an approach cause I don't know this MU and yeah.
Oh and a double Zelda match just for fun lol. Double lightning kick ftw

First thing I'd like to say is that I'm not into dubstep but that violin music was amazing.
Onto the actual critique, I'd say you approached the matchup properly. You didn't use din's or phantom too much because those are the kinds of spacing tools you have to use against D3 who will try to zone you out all day. Since we have similar zoning tools to him (shield-able, punishable, slow, etc.) we can go up against him playing his own game whereas our only other tool (go in) doesn't work against him because our tools for going in get shut down so easily by patient play which D3 players excel at. Honestly, I find this MU to be one of the weirdest in the game and I feel uncomfortable any time I have to face a D3 as any character because I can never wrap my head around the character no matter how often I play against them.
That double Zelda team was wonky and I love it.

It's all good, the song on the dubs does get a bit repetitive, admittedly. And the violin piece is by Lindsey Stirling, she has some amazing pieces. The song is called Crystallize.
I'm kind of surprised Phantom didn't hit him more to be honest, like it really looked like my armored knight's sword was RIGHT THERE on his big - but anyway. Yeah it's a weird match-up, but as far as heavies go, I actually hate fighting Bowser more lol. I tried so hard to mix up my recovery/getting back to the stage options, but those Gordos pelted me far more than I would have liked :/
Double Zelda is fun hehe.
Thanks for the feedback btw~

Not me - I've been searching youtube for any Zelda 1.1.5 tournament footage, and I found this. I'm glad people are trying out Zelda again at their tournies.
It's always interesting to listen to what the commentators say about Zelda. It's great they gave a nod of respect towards zelda now. Many commentators in the past would just giggle anytime someone pulled out a Zelda.

Yeah, I like the use of dair to break Ness's recovery - it worked in this context. One big problem was that he kept getting hit by the PK Fire, but didn't seem to know you could SDI out or use Nayru's Love, and thus ate some nasty punishes that way. Can't hate on powershielding the PKT2, just can't really afford to mess it up if you go for it. Probably better to get out of the way and prepare a punish. Not much use of the tools from the new patch, but there were some nice dsmash hits that would have been a little riskier to go for last patch.

It's great how useful our new ftilt is. He made great use of ftilt punishes several times in the matches. Against Ness, it's rather scary trying to challege his pk thunder recovery offstage. If you messup, you'll die pretty early to the "pk rocket".
Ryo using 1.1.5 Zelda. Makes me smile to see someone using Zelda deep in a tournament bracket.

Love his Zelda, his usage of Nair is good!
3.40 all hail the new Nayru's love, finally reliably reflecting things now!

Hey guys, I recently made a combo video that featured Zelda ( As well as Palutena :-)

Feedback is appreciated. I know the quality is bad because capture cards aren't cheap lol. But with that aside, it's solid. Thanks for checking it out. Hopefully it helped somehow.

Good try, there's an interesting technique that could definitely help you. When recovering from below, right before you would ledgesnap, hold down so you go above the ledge and hit him instead. That could've prevented Myran's edgeguarding but Good Job Eddie!
#HBC | Scary
Hype Incarnate
I was always afraid to do that since I feel like I'd miss up the timing and end up just either offing myself or ruining the recovery angle. Will have to practice it lol.

That's helped me a ****-ton, I think learning it will be very crucial to the metagame.
#HBC | Scary

You think there's any other way it can be performed or is holding down the only way it can be done?
Macchiato
Smash Hero
Only holding down but the timings not strict. Once you get used to it, it'll be second nature.
I agree that it's crucial, it has saved me plenty of times when I'm ledge trumped, then I recover doing that and I'm safe. It makes Zelda virtually ungimpable.
I think only Ike can stop her with the super armor on Eruption.

That was ridiculously awesome on both players, though I may just love ledge cancelling a bit too much. That said, Palutena's teleport cancel really has to be respected on a stage like Battlefield, where ledges abound. There were several moments where it would have simply returned to neutral, instead of instantly going to Palutena's advantage, had you respected her teleport just as much Zelda forces respect for her teleport.
Speaking more generally, I think your Zelda is at the forefront of the Zelda meta, especially with your combo game and disadvantage state. There are some weird things you're doing in neutral, like the roll movement near the end and double Dsmash that cost you a stock - even if these are things that may not happen all to often, cementing your movement and setups might be a good area to focus on.

Nice stuff! At 2:58 you catch Palutena with a Nair that seems to hit her with all the hit boxes, but yet she falls straight down. This could have led to a nasty jab lock punish or something, but you seemed caught off guard by it as well. What exactly happened there with Nair? Did she fall out of the last hit? If that could be duplicated at will it would open up a lot of possibilities.

Use sound to help you out. There's an initial wooosh buildup sound as you begin to disappear. Then a second boom sound as you reappear. Hit down immediately after the initial woosh buildup sound ends. You should never accidentally teleport down if you learn to hit down at this moment.
BTW, purple guy, you know you got a new wiki page on the smash wiki as a "notable zelda player"? I helped create it and added some of your results
Let us know if there is anything incorrect.

Much appreciated!! Looks like we made it now that I've got a wiki! You guys really didn't have to! Also I'll keep those tips in mind. Definitely going to take some practice now for sure.
I will say the whobo and sktar placings were 33rd & 25th respectively lol.

No problem dude. I'm sure everyone will continue to be happy if you keep repping zelda and proving haters wrong that you can kick butt with her!

Looking for critiques and help on the Mewtwo matchup:
Sorry about the low volume on my 3DS in advance. Mewtwo's pressure is insane and really intimidating for me and there are a bunch of solid Mewtwos on 3DS For Glory right now for some reason. Need to approach this matchup better.
"Jaguar, don't you have the Wii U version now? Why r u still uploading 3DS footage gorl?"
Well I get to play the 3DS version more often and when I've tried to directly upload replays to YouTube using the Wii U version, my crappy Internet would always stop it midway through. Plus, I tend to play late at night, so it's more convenient for me.

That zero-death Fairess got on the Fox player on the first stock of game 4 was a thing of beauty. He makes it look so easy - comboing dthrow to Bair.

I swear there is no point in DI'ing the down throw, he always reacts and gets the bair.

Most of the bairs he landed after dthrow were when the opponent didn't DI and were thrown straight up. I guess it would be harder to get those bairs if his opponents mixed up their DI more.

Good effort though, Ed. How do we even do the Diddy MU? ;_;

This is like every game for me now. Hence, why I main Zelda now.
0 to death from 0:00 to 0:17, and a spike at 0:26 that, sadly, did not KO.
