Why did they give him so many IASA frames after jab1? 7 frames is ridiculous. I can understand them wanting to stop the lock, but there were so many other ways it could have been fixed. Even if they did increase the IASA frames, a couple more would have done ok and we'd still be able to utilt afterwards. 7 frames is equal to the start up of a jab, so you can tell they went overboard on the frames.

Link is a great character and he's my childhood hero, but honestly he's not good how he is. Hate to say this, but Gay is superior now. I guess I'll just have to appreciate him outside of the Smash franchise. I'll likely still use him doubles and friendlies, but unfortunately I'm gonna have to find another main for singles. Sorry guys, but I'll still be around.
So it begins.

To all who dropped by the stream, thank you so much. @FSK, @ Naroghin Naroghin , @Zerker, @noisetank01, @ ShinTwist ScreamPaste ShinTwist ScreamPaste , and @ Huggles828 Huggles828 .

Weaklings like you were never welcome to begin with. Get out.

Yeah, power to those of you who decide to stick with yet another mediocre iteration of Link through the life span of Smash 4.

It's saddening how insensible these patches are, and how the developers don't really seem to care about actually building a good game.

Edit: i'm dumb and don't know how to quote

Is it safe to say that Melee Link is officially better than Smash 4 Link now?

Sigh, I'm in a rotten mood. Right after my mom gets out of the hospital after 3 months my uncle has throat cancer; I gave him $100 to help go to the doctor's today. I don't have money to throw around to begin with. I try to play SSB4 and Sak guts Link like a Hylian Bass in the "balancing" patch.
Shin's prison metaphor was right on target.

Yeah, yeah it was. Sorry to hear.
I miss talking to @ Elessar Elessar .

And what happened to Uncle @ ShinTwist ScreamPaste ShinTwist ScreamPaste ?

The short version is like a retelling of the iliad with less homosexuality and more drunken resignation. The long version is an epic that spans time and space across multiple realities. It's also probably half bull****.

You and Dumbfire should write a poem together. It would be amazing I'm sure.

So the good news is I'll still be using Link. Bad news is I'm demoting him to quaternary main. That's right: QUATERNARY. Why?
Three reasons: Sheik, MegaMan.... and :4lucas:. I'll still use Link when certain MUs come up and in friendlies/solo modes, but at this point, he's regressing to his Brawl self. He was good as a main for a while...

it's pretty sad to see people pushing away from Link because he got greninja'd.
someone needs to learn to stop ****ing with mid tiers and nerf only what needs to be nerfed.

I'm still using Link, alongside Ganondorf, Falcon & Samus as my four best characters. I am not going to drop him. But yeah he is the new :4greninja:, getting nerfed in every patch. Hopefully when Lucas comes back, he comes back with a patch and at the very least buffs Link's Jab somehow.

You could always, you know, drop by more. Here and the xat, or even skype since you got me there.
I try D:

When I do stop by, I seem to mostly be engaged with other people. I-It's like I don't know you anymore~!

You guys still Xat? Damn.
Also, I was streaming yesterday with my Sonic friend and asked (wasn't home) and someone said they would get you you never showed up. I would like I said I wasn't kinda sad.
I got messaged but I wasn't available at all yesterday. This weekend is like, me crunchtiming everything because my final project is due Tuesday. I'm hoping time will free up a little as this semester ends, but then I graduate so maybe I'll just end up falling into a pit of despair. Hard to gauge, really.

You are wrong here. The bad news is that you're back. See, we vets can tell who is and who isn't Link main material, and you were never one.

Get out. You belong with the gay mains.

Long time no see Link mains.

It seems like the Jab nerf has sorted out the weaklings from the true warriors.
It has always been thus with us Link mains. As a Triforce brother you know the drill. I welcome you back, Ganondorf main.

Before i go, let me get this straight: I AM and always will be a Link player at heart. I was naive in focusing on bringing out the potential in ONE character when there's flaws with my playstyle. In order to be more skillful at Sm4sh, I need to play other characters and the skills I learn from them to my own. Right now its a burden to play Link because i've pretty much capped with him. I'm going to main other characters so that once I've reached the skill ceiling, I can go back to Link and really hone in on him. Farewell... for now.

Link may have been nerfed hard in this latest patch, but he still has one thing going for him that they can never take away, that will always give me a reason to main him, no matter how bad or unviable he may be.

He's freaking Link. That's reason enough to main him.
