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

[Naroghin]

Haha, yeah. I inherited Zelda fandom and gamerhood in general from her. She never finished OoT and didn't get into 3d zeldas in general but she crushed the hell outta Z1 and 2.

 

[Huggles828]

Phillips CD-i Link da bess.

Just kidding. This is the best Link.

Hey guys, what up?

I had the strangest dream of Majora's Mask. It had elements of Ben 10 and Skyrim in it for soMe reason.

Oh well, let's see now
Quick question, what jab cancel are you guys talking about?

For what purpose is that you want secondary? To cover Link's bad match-ups, or simply to play another character?

Well I like to play with more than one characters, like Pit, Link, Lil Mac etc.

Warned for quadruple posting.

Why is there a new one..?

We didn't have ownership of the other one, we have it of this one. Simple as that. Let @ Camalange know plz.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Oh yeah, almost forgot, Happy 100 Pages!!

 

[The Merc]

That's true. happy 100 pages link mains .

 

[Naroghin]

Sooooo I'm just gonna leave this here.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Guess Izaw got his ass handed to him, huh?

 

[FGC-Oni]

Favorite Design? The Fierce Deity. I've never even played MM before. At least not until the 3DS version comes out. But the Fierce Deity's design is too epic to be ignored. I tried to find an HD screenshot from Hyrule Warriors with no such luck.

EDIT: Not the best pic but still glorious

 

[Naroghin]

Guess Izaw got his *** handed to him, huh?

Certainly looks that way, yes.

 

[Camalange]

... Who had ownership?

Member me plz.

also hey how about that totally inescapable jab infinite wink wink nudge nudge

must've been a FUN day here at the boards eh?

Blubba owned the last one, but sadly he was hardly ever on.

And yeah there's been a constant stream of lazy "I want to win the easy way" tryhards lurking in the metagame thread all day. There's even some there as we speak.

 

[Fox Is Openly Deceptive]

People are going to go bat **** when I post the updated list of characters XD. I can tell already.

Luckily we have something those meta-lurkers don't... dignity.

It's funny though... Link just became God-Tier in a day.

What ever happened to character loyalty? Kids these day, I tell ya...

 

[A_Phoenix_Down]

Us proud Link mains are the only ones who actually still know the meaning of loyalty these days.

 

[FGC-Oni]

I've been a hardcore Link main since my 64 days. But you best believe I'm gonna have some fun with this jab tech.

 

[Dumbfire]

If I'm not mistaken though, there's actually a tip in-game that confirms that jab-cancelling was intentional, what with it stating you can link into dsmash and upsmash for example. So really, I wouldn't be surprised if they don't patch considering it was intentional game design,

There is, but it tells you to do the follow-ups after Jab2, oddly enough.

 

[PKBeam]

damage optimisationnnnnn

 

[Kenith]

My favorite Link design is this one:

I think Young Link perfectly captures the spirit of the Zelda series.
Would definitely take MM Link over Toon Link, if not just for the voice.

 

[Fox Is Openly Deceptive]

Well my work for the day is done. I'm going to get some food.

 

[links24]

Young link is life.

 

[MooCow of Justice]

Drunk?

Surprisingly, yes.

I type amazingly well when drunk. And drop f bombs like I'm invading Afghanistan.

 

[Rizen]

@ ^vid, that's what happens when you play good people who know how to intercept offstage.

I think the jab cancel lock should be patched but I hope Link keeps some of it. Maybe jab cancel 2 or 3 times and then finisher.

The Fierce Deity mask should have been usable everywhere and not just in boss arenas.

 

[A_Phoenix_Down]

I've been a hardcore Link main since my 64 days. But you best believe I'm gonna have some fun with this jab tech.

Oh so am I, of course. I'm gonna jab till the opponent gets to 200% and then kill myself to throw him off

 

[Rizen]

I played a couple wifi games vs a Yoshi. I'm starting to see how that MU works. Yoshi has so little lag.

Yeah, I have mained Link since SSB64 but didn't start playing competitively until the last part of Melee before Brawl came out.

 

[FGC-Oni]

@ Elessar you still haven't added me on 3DS.

 

[Elessar]

@ Elessar you still haven't added me on 3DS.

Sorry, I haven't touched it in days.

Also, to answer @ Camalange , I'm half hoping they patch it out. It's a clearly broken glitch that ruins the balance and it diminishes the character and the user. I want Link to be good, but not broken due to some glitch. I don't want to hear people booing you for choosing Link as they did in Apex for Diddy. And again, it makes no sense that they'd patch out TC but leave this. No sense at all, so I know that patch is coming.

 

[Camalange]

Is it really that reliable of a tactic?

It think it's more of an exploit than a glitch so I wouldn't be surprised if it stays. The toss cancel was clearly a glitch and needed to be patched.

If they did decide to patch it out I thought of one way they could do it without breaking Link. Simply remove the general landing lag. That might even benefit the game as a whole because it would speed things up further and possibly open up new options.

Edit: woah! I just noticed that I snagged post 4000. sweet.

 

[KirinBlaze]

Unfortunately seeding is ******** and out of roughly 15-16 people in each pool, only 2 make it out. Kirin had some bad MUs to fight through, which sucks because he's a great player.

I saw him have close matches with a Sonic during pools and I hope if @ KirinBlaze reads this, I'll drop some knowledge on that matchup. Of course he was on stream and that can give people pressure as well.

Laaawwwwzzz! How have you been? I do have some experience in that match-up in Smash 4. We have an old school Brawl player, Cyberman, who comes down to our weeklies and plays Smash 4 and I've played him in bracket once. I sort of just treat it like the Brawl MU in that projectiles and Nair beat his Spin Dash and from their just properly punishing the Spin Dash on shield with Bair or Uair. From there, just trying to zone Sonic out with Link's improved Tilt and Jab game.

Any knowledge you have on that MU would be much appreciated though! I'm trying to stick to as much Link possible in this game, save a few MU's that Mario does better in right now like Sheik, Fox, and Diddy.

 

[Zelkam]

Kirin has returned, the Link boards are complete again.


I doubt you remember me, but I was the one that made your "fan club" group back on AiB

Great job repping Link. Can't wait to see more of your play style. Play me sometime?

 

[Dumbfire]

Kirin's Apex matches played on stream are in the video archive, for those interested.

While this is genius, I don't think they'll do it since it'll throw their entire balance into chaos. While it may stay, I doubt it. I agree that it's an exploit, but it's a game/balance breaking one and so I think it will get patched. I could be wrong, and if I am then we'll have to learn to deal with the huge influx of new users of Link (I refuse to call them mains), but the problem is that this is one technique. You still need to be able to: a) Get the opponent to that %, and b) Land that jab.

Good luck with that if all you did was learn that jab cancel.
