Oh noes everyone's forgotten me! I was that mod guy who kept saying he'd do all this things but never got round to it, also he kept posting that one seedy picture of Link.

I was going to ask your whereabouts amidst all the competitive discussion. Wish I could help out. :c

Hey Scabe and Fox, long time no see... or read, lol.:bee:

Legan's really good. His consistency's outrageous.
My problem has always been bad consistency, my directions are often wrong; lately I've been Usmashing instead of Fsmashing. And using Fsmash to turn, which isn't a bad mind game paired with Utilt's long reach behind Link. I get nervous and shake more when trying to KO:urg:.
Adapting/compensating for the situation+ reading patterns/likely spacing+ knowhow+ consistency= top of Link's game. In that order.

That video was so random and unexpected. I really should change my avatar, but I've like lost the original, guess I'm stuck with this forever. :urg:

Did your parent remarry, is Scabe like a mentor, training partner, or just, "hey bro, s'up?"
...or am I completely missing something?

I like music that has no lyrics for studying so it doesn't mess up my concentration, so classical music and vidjya game music are what I usually listen to if I have to study in the library for hours. All this Japanese and Korean music talk got me thinking; what if I can't understand the lyrics (haha, the voice would still probably distract me).

So after all this time, I finally figured out the whole jump cancelling the B up to turn it around while running or doing it off a platform to cancel it completely at random while just playing my roommate my roommate last night. Jab-jab, run backwards to jump cancelled b-up so he rolls into it mindgaemz. I figured it out, thought, hey, this is kinda neat, then was like, hey, this means I'm slow, haha.

Been working at the playing smarter thing though. I think it's helping.

I cant study at all with music. I use music when i work on stuff that doesn't require intense thinking or reading.

It would be making an extensive video guide on Link, and how to perform all of his AT's and Match-ups.

However it would be very very time consuming, and require video editing that I'm terrible with. :/

I would maybe even ask the AiB Link's if any wanted to help with this. It would be a very very hard project.

I'm out of time I'll label these later.

You're doing a good job! Me on the other hand... :urg:
Any activity is good.

Twisted Steel is making a guide to using all of Link's options. If you want I'll ask if the projects can be a collaborated effort. It would help both forums.

I made some replay examples to help get started, tactics are listed in order of appearance in the videos:

Easy jab options:

Easy dash options:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKZrr2Xhj6U

Easy bomb options:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MM0Qo9FSE5w
Bomb down throw- press attack and down or 'C' (smash) down with a bomb, Link throws the bomb directly below him.
Bomb drop- (in the air) press Z/grab without a direction with a bomb, Link drops the bomb in front of him slowly.
Invincibomb- (in the air) press shield+attack together without a direction with a bomb, Link air dodges and drops the bomb behind him.
Instant bomb throw (0:12)-(in the air) Press attack+shield+any compass direction when near a previously thrown bomb, Link will instantly catch and throw the bomb in the direction you choose.
Bomb slide up throw,
I'm out of time I'll label these later.

Bomb chaining:

Drop or throw a bomb in the air and catch it with Bair, Uair or Dair (not shown). You can use that aerial attack again without throwing the bomb until Link lands or is interrupted.

Hey Scabe, lookie what I found! If you want to use it that is.

If we're gonna be honest, it's slow because nobody was coming and posting, so everyone's to blame, haha.

I'm really itching to go to another tourney at some point. It sucks being 1) in SC where there's no scene and 2) right on the coast, so Georgia (my best bet at getting involved in a Smash scene) is like 5 hours away just to get to the Georgia-SC border. Maybe for Spring Break...

Maybe I should be like all those Korean Smashboards guys and change my avatar to a Korean girl, maybe Sunny, Jessica, SooYoung, Yoona, Seohyun or Tiffany of SNSD. :love:

Why is Yuri or Taeyeon not on that list.

You're also forgetting Eunjung, Ga-In, Victoria, Sulli, Suzy, Krystal, Yubin...
