I'm gonna try and make Apex and Cataclysm or w/e. Tipped off 6(I think). And hopefully a new pound will come about around January. These will most likely be my last national events. I'm gonna move out of USA if this internet regulation bull**** gets through. I'm gonna bail on this country before **** hits the fan with fail government officials in general.

i believe what axe posted is true. everyone has amazing capabilities. only low tiers take MUCH more experience and dedication than higher tiers...

It is. You first of all have to accept that low tiers are bad, and you can't change that their bad nor how bad they are. You can change how bad or good your low tier is against your opponent's character.

Nah, I believe all characters take nearly just as much experience.

Fox is way more incredibly harder to master than Zelda.

I think what you're getting at is that, ZELDA takes more effort into creating the meta-game, because So many people play fox, his is practically already made up. Zelda on the other hand, is missing a bunch of potential from lack of creativity and knowledge. Which unfairly fox already has from years of frame data/having more players to be creative.

It is. You first of all have to accept that low tiers are bad, and you can't change that their bad nor how bad they are. You can change how bad or good your low tier is against your opponent's character.
Yes totally true, For example the sooner a man realizes Zelda's pressure game is pretty crap, The sooner you can work your way around that flaw, or even use the flaw as a bait.

Right now our government wants to spend billions on a way to regulate Internet. Meaning The government will choose what you can view on the web, and what you can't view.

So this is more than just blocking porn and stuff, right? This is about constitutional rights, freedom of speech, and more important stuff, right?

Zelda is a garbage character. Her Fair and bair are probably the only reasons she isn't the worst in the game.

Yes, They want to be able to also block things like "government Conspiracy theories"

but wtf, if a government really does start going wrong (Which it already has). How are you suppose to express your opinions on a wrongful ideal government.

But yes, it goes behind just blocking porn.

Nah, keep 1 high tier on the side atleast. That way if you ever truly give up on low tiers. you don't have to start from scratch.

I kind of understand your complaints. Sadly, to be a politician where you could set forth good ideals are blocked by the need to actually stay in office. And to stay in office, you'll need to do what's popular and not always what's right. Our government is pretty flawed. You can preach good ideals and get elected into super high offices, but when you're there, you turn your back on them in a matter of days. Aka Obama. What happened to the withdrawing troops he told us about?

To be fair with the healthcare bill, People were wanting a free health care plan like Canada's.

but after they found out how NOT good it is compared to our free market system. They wanted to change their minds, but apparently Congress is ******** and couldn't understand that the american people changed their minds with their greater than 70% dissapproval rate of the health care bill.

Another thing I hate about voting for president. Is why the hell are we always limited to two? For the pass like 4 presidential elections I didn't want to vote for anyone. Cuz I ended up not liking either one of them.

I also hate how when you end up deciding well I guess i'll vote for the lesser evil. The president presents his ideas in a package. And you may like 2-3 things out of the package, but you hate 4-5 other things. But you can't express that. And since you voted for him. He seems to think You want him to do all of those things.

Just deciding to randomly visit this thread lol.

Here's my thoughts:

I think that Zelda CAN be a good character. Somebody just needs to decide to put in the dedication to play her and the want to be the best with her. I'm not trying to make myself look all high-and-mighty or anything, but look what I've done with Pikachu. I dedicated myself for 3 and a half years, and look where I am now. I feel that the same can be done with any character, including Zelda. The only problem is that people give up on her too early. Even playing her strait for 2 years might not be enough. Somebody needs to be as dedicated with her as I have been with Pikachu.

And yes, I can understand when you have been playing her for so long and it feels like you reached her maximum capabilities. I felt the same way with Pikachu dozens of times, and everyone thought that the highest level was already reached not long ago. But because I was dedicated enough, I surpased it, and I'm STILL getting even better with him. I just wish that more people would do the same to prove other character's potentials.

I'm not anything special. I'm a pretty slow learner. The reason why I got to the point that I am at now was because I practiced my butt off nearly every day. I can only imagine what a fast learner could do if that person practiced for the same amount of time with Zelda as I have with Pikachu.

In a nut shell, I believe that Zelda can be a good character. Someone just needs the time and dedication to prove it.
this quote deserves to be saved i mean this is coming from the man who beat scar, drpp, AND jman with PIKACHU

AND by enemy logic has beaten mango

Mango<Kage<M2K<Hbox<PP<AXE

get at the kid

This is Umbreon on my fiancee's account. I'd like to add to a few things:

Axe: your situation is different than our by what is already obviously character specific. That said, I agree that dedication and innovation can go a miraculous distance in a tournament bracket. However, your character is not defeated by a single tactic, and that tactic being the arguably best tactic in the game (dashdancing). Zelda has no pressure game as Zone said, but that can be played around with a more defensive style. I went so far as to master powershielding to fight lasers spam vs falco and was able to beat forward, dope, zanguzen, DA_dave (all sets), and even shiz for a few matches at their various primes before I lost to mango's falco narrowly at ROM1. However, Unlike lasers, Zelda has no answer for dashdancing into solid and reliable things. Zelda can even DI down on Marth's throw combos to eliminate all true combos except upthrow to fair to somewhat neutralize his DD game. Zelda can even DI down and away and if you're like frame perfect you can air dodge down into the ground out of downthrow knee before the knee hits (extremely hard). But Zelda literally has no way to stop Fox DD grab upthrow bair or Falcon upthrow upair. Your character might not have the same strengths as the top tiers but it does have the benefit of never losing to a single tactic.

As for Mario vs Zelda, Mario may be the better character but Zelda wins that match. At some point, Mario and Zelda will have to confront each other and when it happens, fsmash and kicks will win. I beat Cape Boss and Greenmario every time I played them with relatively little difficulty. I never had the opportunity to play DJ Nintendo's Mario but I won our mario ditto (lol) so it'd probably be much easier with Zelda but we'll probably never know.

Plank "plays" fox in that plank picks fox and pushes buttons while controlling that character. Plank doesn't play fox. His zelda is pretty good though iirc and I'd probably put him somewhere in the top 10 from what I've played as far as other zeldas go.

Also I think any zelda who refuses to learn sheik is probably a weak player in general. Sheik offers a lot of solutions to that character despite the incentive to nly ever play as sheik. Sheik is a unique and rewarding character to play as, takes just as much talent to play and no other character in the game plays like her at an advanced level.

Lol, I read this part and I thought of Shiek Chaingrabbing Axe's Pikachu


Zelda's weaknesses:
SLOW RUN/Short Wavedash/Short dashdance: Most characters, You can get really close, because they can bait alot closer because of long wavedashes/High speed. Zelda on the other hand Runs so slow and wavedashes so short, You have to keep a larget distance from People like Fox, Because If he just throws out a N-air and your trying to outrun it you can't. You have to sit in your shield if your too close. And what does fox do when you're not close? Run the hell away and shoot lasers like a Muddy swamp donkey. And unlike falco, Fox's lasers will beat your powershield game ; ; unless your like some sort of AR machine.

Come on man movement is a big part of the game. And Zelda is just about the worse next to Bowser.

Instant attacks, but long lag:
Alot of Zelda's Moves are like Link's Grab. Comes out instant, and high priority for most of them. But If you whiff, It's nearly a free punishment for most of your moves. And we all know exactly how often Link grabs in a game. Pretty much mostly when it's only guaranteed, like from a tech chase or get combo'd into a grab. Or shield grabbing marth's F-smash ect ect.

You gotta do like 3 down-airs to = 1 falcon down-air >.> wth is up with that. Knock back wise I mean, for when they don't Up+B cancel.

And if you're really unlucky, Your opponent is really good at smash DI'ing ur smashes. They automatically render 2 of your moves useless.

Zelda has the best Down+B.
But that's only when you factor in all other moves in the game. If you ignore all other moves, it's the worst move in the game because it uses up your free 69 frames which could be better spent elsewhere and you're only invincible from frames 34-43.

only if you WANT to transform into sheik. also, if they realize your doing it, then your opponent can charge a smash and hit you as soon as you come out.

But a true thing is that Zelda has the fastest and one of the strongest down smashes.
