Everybody have the right to see what they like and they are not stupid... Even then, Izaw is not stupid, just his gameplay is not good to USA metagame.
That's not really it: Europeans are more conservative with stages and customs and more aggressive in play (no MK ban was ever necessary either..) but I wouldn't say European play is ineffective in the USA.

Guys, just watch Izaw against J.Miller. That's a fine set, and Izaw as he actually is playing against a reputable player, and doing well. The only problem I have with him is the hero-worship of his followers, who make it necessary for us to degrade a man who does not entirely deserve it. Such is the cult of personality..

At the end of the day it seems like this is a weird place to be hating on people trying to rep Link. Been watching the video thread though and its full of beasts.

I think it's the same way Brawl Sonic boards hated this one JP Sonic player named RATS.

He just had all these videos against bad players while doing insanely flashy Sonic tech (because Sonic is way past cool) that served very little practically.

For whatever god forsaken reason, it generated all this hype around our character from people who knew nothing about how he worked and they'd be like "Hey, have you guys heard of RATS? You all should play more like him."

It was mildly infuriating, to say the least.
@ Camalange Camalange I'm pretty sure I know the anime your profile pic is from well the plot not the name
If you remember the plot, the name is basically in there…

Also, if you look just slightly below the profile pic… Might jog your memory a bit...

KirinBlaze has uploaded two For Glory games he had with Link, he's found time for Smash again finally. Hopefully we'll see more of him again!

So, I am extremely hyped because I'm getting my custom gcc modded controller today. I had one made in order to use it at the tournament. It's so damn pretty.






I wish the buttons could have been painted as well, but the guy told me it would be impractical and dangerous (it could ruin the buttons). Still, it's gorgeous.

That is a really awesome controller there. I wonder if I should consider getting mine modded, as well.

A Monokuma color scheme for my white controller would be so baller... <3

At least you won't use your controller this way. I have a black one with a firm "1" label on it, and Cat has a similar sticker with "3" on it, so at least we don't lose ours. People switch up the new Smash Bros. GC controller all the time!

Yo, that design is slick.

Harley Quinn isn't anime enough for me, but I approve regardless ;)

The only thing I did with my controller was swap out the back of my black Smash controller with a platinum one… It matches the Smash decal. Simple, clean, and helps me identify my controller out of the millions of Smash controllers, lol.

Did you mean use or lose? Because I fully intend to use this one.

She's not my waifu; I don't have a waifu. We've been over this already...

Yo, it's cool, you can be in denial as long as you want. That's fine.

UGH

WAY PAST COOL

NOW I WANT ONE ;_;

:093:
You know what's the best part? All in all this costed us 50 bucks. 20 for the control and 30 for the modding. Not that expensive right?

Just curious, what would you guys say the Link/WFT MU is?
IMO WFT can juggle Link pretty well with Nair (iirc) and has decent weight and kill power. Link can wall her though. Maybe 0 even? It's hard to kill her without jab 1 cancels now.

Edit: I found an old NES LoZ quote for the thread title.
Nah, more like a +1. We edgeguard her pretty well, Hylian shield makes her forced approaches useless, and like you said, we just wall her out honestly, it's the one matchup where we actually have better projectiles than the other player. lol
We kinda just crap on her in neutral, really.

Not bad at all.

You buy the controller there? Can you bring in your own controller and then just pay the $30?

Yeah that's what we did actually. The guy just mods, he doesn't sell anything. You can check out some of his work here.
Huh. I was going to mod my own but I doubt I'll be able to do it under for 30 bucks since I'd have to get supplies/make mistakes.

Did you just get paint done or have other things done too?

Just a paint job. I didn't want to mess with anything else just on case. I didn't want to end with a cool but useless controller.

BTW if y'all have any replays you need uploaded, feel free to send em to me, and I'll get them recorded in my spare time.
I upload in 1080p so they're garunteed to look real pretty, and the framerate (while not quite 60 I think) is solid. Let's get that video archive flooding eh?

Maybe Cumalange and I can play Link vs Sonic soon, I'd totally send some replays your way.

It's sad how people go to call not putting up with some egotist spamming the forms with threads that don't belong "hating" on him :facepalm:. "Hating" has become a word in place of knowing what the problem is. Like I said, if Izaw followed the rules I'd have no problem with with.

Darn I was wifi-ing someone and got off to reset the connection and they haven't responded. I won the last few and don't want them to think I left after a winning streak. I really hate wifail lag. Good connections are fun but they gradually get worse. I'm in a bad mood :c

I could send you some as to not abuse of Zelkam's generosity.

diddy is almost certainly top 10, still top 5 probably.
he has other options than hoo hah.
his neutral is still strong and he still has Dthrow and now Uthrow comboes.

it is all but impossible atm to make a CPU that plays like a real person
Well I don't exactly mean play like a human I mean like where it combos, walls you out, gimps, forces approaches, etc.

@ Camalange Camalange is the anime called oreimo

@ Camalange Camalange Check out the control my friend @AnFuAr got made for him (he's the one learning Sonic).




I thought you might appreciate it.
:surprised:.

I need one. NOW!

Can I get them at that Link you posted?

Or can I buy them from somewhere else that isn't Facebook?
