Social Link checked the thread. Wow! This is a nice thread!

[skydogc]

So Fox asked me to drop by and say hi once in a while, so:

You're all a bunch of worhtless scrubs. Either get good or GTFO.

Good to see you again, even if it's only temporary.

 

[SuqAta8]

guise i need help

played a ryu last night who would get me into a basically endless hit loop, and i couldnt break out of it no matter how much i mashed my controller

what do we do about this

 

[Himura Kenshin]

Step 1, don't mash the controller
Step 2, DI his hits

If it's an endless loop, then it can be DI'd or airdodged.

This was common in Brawl, and still not that special now. Get good.

It's true the old Brawl community combo video was full of that stuff with boomerang: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xM0pRYEvlQo

No one plays Darksiders 2? Anyway I'm still replaying it and it's fun.

Do you guys think meteor bombs are worth using? The big upside is they easily combo into kill moves at high %s and are good for gimping. Everything else is a downside: no recovery value, very short fuses make them less practical, worse damage and no combo potential until medium-high %s.

 

[link7]

Apologies to BlessedSpartan. I received your replay, then the recent patch made it so I can no longer upload it. Sorry man.

 

[The Merc]

I finished a drawing of Young Link. I not sure if it's good or not

Thoughts?

For Dumbfire:

September 1913

What need you, being come to sense,
But fumble in a greasy till
And add the halfpence to the pence
And prayer to shivering prayer, until
You have dried the marrow from the bone;
For men were born to pray and save:
Romantic Ireland’s dead and gone,
It’s with O’Leary in the grave.

Yet they were of a different kind,
The names that stilled your childish play,
They have gone about the world like wind,
But little time had they to pray
For whom the hangman’s rope was spun,
And what, God help us, could they save?
Romantic Ireland’s dead and gone,
It’s with O’Leary in the grave.

Was it for this the wild geese spread
The grey wing upon every tide;
For this that all that blood was shed,
For this Edward Fitzgerald died,
And Robert Emmet and Wolfe Tone,
All that delirium of the brave?
Romantic Ireland’s dead and gone,
It’s with O’Leary in the grave.

Yet could we turn the years again,
And call those exiles as they were
In all their loneliness and pain,
You’d cry, ‘Some woman’s yellow hair
Has maddened every mother’s son’:
They weighed so lightly what they gave.
But let them be, they’re dead and gone,
They’re with O’Leary in the grave.

In some MUs, yes. I don't like them vs characters who have 3+ airjumps or can fly, but for heavier characters or so-so recoveries they gimp well. I don't anyone has ever said MBs are a straight upgrade though.

Relatedly, Amazing Ampharos is starting to update the Custom Moves pre-set loadouts that were used at EVO. If anyone has input on the matter, please reply in the existing thread: http://smashboards.com/threads/top-8-max-custom-sets-for-link.380198/page-2

I love Darksiders 2. I'm on my second play-through now and I might actually go for all the side quests this time. I tend to favor axes but I can never seem to find a possessed one. Bah.

I'm still not sure about meteor bombs. I see their usefulness in gimps on certain characters as well as diminishing the enemy's benefit from catching them, but I can't seem to do anything with them. Maybe I need some more time in the lab in them. I need more time with Link in general.

 

[Rizen]

Darksiders 2 is fun. I made these really bad*** scythes with wrath and health steal so I constantly get both back as I fight. I'm spamming special moves like harvest and ice crows then striking a few times with scythes to get the wrath back.

I just played smash again and my hands are not used to the GC controller. The button layout and control stick position of pro controllers (I use with darksiders) is very different. I kept using the wrong direction and doing stupid things like throw bombs down at myself and use the wrong attacks . It always takes me a bit to adjust to different controllers; does anyone else do this?

I always overload health and crit chance on armors, then do health on crit and kill for weapons and just tank everything. The only wrath moves I use are teleport slash and crows.

For me controller adjustment depends on the Game. For smash I have to use modded CCP. For Darksiders and MH3U (and minor downloaded oldy games) I can use CCP or Pro or Gamepad with a short adjustment period. Haven't touched a GCC in forever, it seems; analog stick position always made my left hand cramp up.

 

[Rizen]

I like to work the system by equipping all my exp bonus armor right before talking to whoever completes the quest. My Death is up to level 29 (new game +) on the psycomaron. I have a really sweet setup and am riding the OP
If you have the 'demon heart' talisman you get more possessed weapons. IIRC it's in one of the death tombs that you unlock by trading pages to vulgrim.

 

[Naroghin]

Speaking of death tombs, where's the one in the Dead Lands (or whatever they're called)? Couldn't find that thing anywhere. Does the DHT affect enemy drop rate, treasure box contents, or both? I've just been trolling Vulgrim for possessed weapons but he never gives me an axe. I think he's on to my shenanigans.

It's in the tomb of the deposed king on the bottom floor. I'm not sure how it works but my guess is it makes weapon drops more likely to be possessed weapons. If you play on Apocalyptic difficulty you have a much better chance of getting weapons.

Edit
Someone on the Zelda thread posted this. I was wondering if any European Links know this guy?

And I just had a set of comments by someone named Kishin2 on Miiverse.

Funny thing is, he thinks I'm some FG Player that got mad at him. :V

Clearly, he thinks I'm HomeDog PzaSlice. :V (I don't even main Lucario. )

 

[Z3phIr]

Yes me and Cat will probably be there, and if BYOC is streaming I may use my magic powers of influence to get you and him on stream and commentate

Cool, look forward to seeing you guys there. Gotta hit the labs first though, haven't played for almost 3 months.

Nope. I'm not the most knowledgeable on Link players though.

According to the guy on Youtube, he was having a bad day. Still not an excuse for spewing bull **** though.

 

[Naroghin]

Neither players were really that spammy. I did see some approaches and setups from the Link, as well as some zoning, but there was no sort of spamming/camping from the other direction. I think what we're seeing here is just the pervasive toxicity that is For Glory mode.

edit:

Ah, that's why I missed it. I did that quest (unknowingly) several levels too early and didn't even finish that chapter of the dead till much later in the game so I must have forgotten it. I'll catch it this time around, though.

 

[epicnights]

This thread is so incredibly inconsistent in comparison to the clean and tidiness of the rest of the board, it's sickening. There is no consistency in topic matter, almost as if I'm looking at the thought process of a child.

In other news, VSGC had it's monthly two days ago, with this month's theme being non-legal stages and was aptly titled 'Jank City'. (Ruleset is here for those wondering) Of the more tame stages, I found that PS2 and Wuhu Island were particularly good counterpicks for Link. Good information to have if your scene happens to be liberal about legal stages.

This post is so incredibly stupid in comparison to everything else this user has ever posted, it's sickening. The fact that they see a need for THE SOCIAL THREAD to have a consistent topic is downright idiotic.
I can start a topic that we can keep consistent! Who thinks E epicnights is a pompous ass? Give specific reasons, let's keep this going for multiple pages! It's what HE wants.

I totally agree, I can't stand him at all. Super self-centered and obnoxious, I'm surprised he doesn't play Fox since both love to be in other people's faces.

This is the most hostile way I've ever seen someone enter the Link Boards.

Decent trolling but you come on a little too strong and it gives you away.


I got to Earth in DS2. It's kind of weird they threw a zombie shooter in but it's a fun level anyway.
I can't wait for Xenoblade CX and the Wii U LoZ to launch. Seriously Nintendo, this is why the Wii U failed, you kept holding back with the big gun franchises and people had no reason to buy the system and got something else. We thought Zelda U might launch as early as 2013.

Completely agree. I generally don't like social threads since they feel almost out of place in a forum about competitive smash bros, but the amount of somewhat amicable venom that goes back and forth in this social in particular is super amusing. It's too bad other character boards don't have people like @Fox Is Openly Deceptive in their boards, since he is probably the most organized mod I've ever seen. Looking for something in the Link boards is so streamlined and hassle-free that I actually struggle with going through some other character boards.

When I started reading that, for some reason my mind slipped into the phrase, "Sometimes...I dream about cheese".
Sleep deprived brain, you do have a field day of screwing with me.

For those who don't get it.

Last night at a venue, someone was talking about a new Smash 4 character leak. They said that Issac, Shantae, K.Rool, and Snake were coming.

I will never understand the popularity surrounding K Rool.

I don't get it either…
