What tips can you guys give me in order for my Zelda to be good? Or, at the very least, decent?

That was very helpful, but there is one problem. I don't see anything about the down smash that tells me it kills.

I have used the down smash on multiple recovering opponents and it has sent them into the far bottom corner. Is that just a glitch or is it something no one has tried?

The downsmash is one of Zelda's many formidable KO moves, though certainly not her best.

Dsmash edgeguarding is a pretty popular technique (some prefer dtilt) and you can see both strategies implemented in several of those videos in that link. It's not a glitch, lol

edit: lol 100th post

Hm...I only saw the ones where you use the fair and bair to obliterate the chasing opponent. Nonetheless, I still thank you for the info and I hope that this info will make my Zelda a bit better. Now, I just have to look at what Ike can do...

Welcome to the zelda boards ^^ You should say hi over at the community thread on the top!

Okay, I guess...

How do you work this thing??? Is it at the top of the Zelda boards or at the top of the broad boards???
