Every time I meet a Dedede, I still think "OH GOD NO DON'T LET HIM GRAB ME HE'LL CHAINGR-- Wait, no he won't!" It's a great relief.
You can find videos of BrimeZ during Xanadu Smash, and BrimeZ and KirinBlaze during KTAR XI, at the video thread.
Took some time to reply because I had to get on the shuttle. Currently omw to Orlando. Got 4 hours of bus ride, yay...Aren't we supposed to be getting that Twilight Princess costume DLC pack sometime this month (if we haven't already lol). Oh and what do you guys think of Twili Midna being playable, or rather, how you feel about her move-set?
As for Zelda in Hyrule Warriors, definitely like the Rapier the most so far. The Baton/Windwaker feels a bit slow... I'm not really sure how to use it properly yet. And I recently got the Dominion Rod, which seems kinda gimmicky but fun. Where the hell did Zelda get a Dominion Rod anyway? Thought that was Link's stuff. Oh wait, she stole Din's Fire, Nayru's Love, and Farore's Wind anyway for Smash
Speaking of Smash, how are tourney results faring for Link so far? I've been hoping to catch some vids. Nairo had some for Zelda from a couple of tournies, and I thought, "Well, if Zelda is getting a little rep, surely Link is."
Being a DeDeDe main means I'm a tier *****? Did I miss the memo on DeDeDe being top tier in this game?
Nah, he just means Link is not going to be super good, so if you want to win you'll have to work harder than the average top 8 at any tournament.
I believe he means on you deciding to go with Link because you win with him rather because you like the char more than being a D3 main. Anyways, welcome and you can start your education by reading the stickies and the rules. We have quite the tough love, we'll troll and flame you until you stop feeling pain kind of approach to things, so I hope you're not the easily offended type. Just keep in mind that nothing is really personal.
You may have missed where he welcomed you to the water temple. As Ele already said, the Link Boards thrive on calling one another out just as Cyner did there. You're going to need to be able to deal with that sort of treatment here, it's just how we do things here. Call it 'board culture'.
I main Zangief and T. Hawk on Super Turbo, Hugo/Sean on Third Strike, Dan on numerous games. I'm used to the low tier struggle. Hell, I've played Link on every Smash. Not going to stop now.
Then you are in the right place. Just suit up with your Gordon Tunic and don't mind the flames nor trolls. We have of both to spare. Again though, read the stickies, specially the rules and metagame/guide, those are good places to start learning about Link. We Link mains have a saying: Do Work. We expect people to work and not to expect others to spoon feed them.
You get it Hong.
Ah Zane, perfect timing. I just finished Full Metal Alchemist. Loved the anime, wasn't super crazy about the ending. I definitely want to read the manga and watch brotherhood because I've heard the ending is much better. Questions is, which should I do first?
I've read the manga and watched the anime. Brotherhood glosses over a couple of story arcs that the manga had. FMA Non Brotherhood covered one of them (the train robbery episode, that was a golden episode too). Besides that, Brotherhood remains very faithful to the manga, so it really doesn't matter which one you view first. Both are amazing. I read the manga first, but that's just my style.All the fun in this thread always happens after I go to bed.

Japan is weird lol, they have Marth even lower than Link for some reason, and Link lower than Toon Link?In the most recent tier list, he's been dumped in the E tier. Not sure why. I personally think he deserves be in S tier, because I main him.
We need to wait for the meta game to evolve more before an official tier list comes out, but I can see him moving into the top 15 characters.
Well, well, this is an unexpected development. A mod from outside our board who understands our culture. I guess not every surprise is a bad one, after all.

I play pokemon, though I haven't gotten the most recent release. I was a badass at DPP, and haven't had the same time to devote to the metagame since.
As far as competitive games go, just Smash (primarily 64 and Melee) and Team Fortress 2.
I have a friend who did this, going so far as to buy one online that is normally only accessible in Japan, or something. He tells me that certain aspects of the more obscure entries in the series can be described as "having your junk completely removed with a power sander", to paraphrase.
Maining Link in 64 is a hard time. I did it. I won't go back to doing it.
Thracia 776, one of the most coveted entries in the series, is one of those games with a lot of "fake difficulty", where knowledge of something that would be otherwise nonsensical can take away a lot of its difficulty. Still pretty brutal, though. Probably talking about that one.
For better or for worse, my main sparring partner mains Falcon. Something about enduring the gruellingly punishing MU for years has moulded me.
And they're smarter than the av-er-reach troll. They'll swipe your pic-a-nic basket
If smash4 hadn't been released, and I'd been asked to main Link in one game, I would've picked melee, honestly. While it's true with melee to a degree, a single badly timed rang catch in 64 can just end your entire existence. I honestly felt like I had an easier time in Brawl than 64, despite the similar "one grab and you lose a stock" set up Link went through. I mean, at least he had an autocancelling Zair.
Embrace the part of you that is a horrible person. Become one of us.@Hong why not come back home and start mailing Link in sm4sh? You know it's not only right, but necessary. You feel the calling.
So it would have been if Robin never happened, which is everything I could ask for in a character.@
Dang Hong... Plays Melee, enjoys Link, loves Fire Emblem, mains Robin, and understands Link main culture... feel free to stick around.
Last night I played with a bunch of people. Everyone was like "Link is the new Fox". Granted, we were playing 8 player smash, so I can't justify whether that's true or not.
8 player smash - because I didn't need to know where I was in that fight anyways. haha
Same exact way, I don't spam his projectiles. I use then to keep pressure but I certainly don't rely on them. I'm aggressive with Link, short hopping into n-air, f-tilting clumsy rollers, dash attacking unexpecting poor souls. I even go off stage and swing at the air a bunch of times tI'll I get the kill.
I'm exactly like that. My spam game with Link is super weak, so I struggle a lot vs other spam chars since Link isn't fast enough to approach as I would with my other alts. My melee is a lot more spot on though, so it's a good thing that Link's melee has been by buffed and now not only does it have nice combos, but it has the same KO power. I like using the projectiles for some spacing but more than anything to create pressure and an opening for me to rush in and start a combo.
This a thousand times.
Yea, that happened a lot. It was still a ton of fun though, and the stages are pretty cool.
Exactly what I do!
