Figured I'd toss this out again because it got eaten by new page:
Saying nobody uses Link is silly. VaNz and Blind both use Link (you know, in regions where people are actually good at B+). I could spoon feed you advantage data, KO%, etc, but... why? The attitude here is awful.
Anyways. I'd actually like to see data on a SHFF'd Fair with only the first hit connecting. First hit vs. landing lag.
If the data really shows that the first hit of Fair actually has a point when you only connect with it, and then land, I'll eat my hat.
And just for the heck of it, I decided to compare two of your Link v. Peach matches. One was
Brawl+. The other was
Melee.
Both videos were 4 Stock
Both videos were Link (VaNz), vs. Peach
The B+ video was 5:01, and the Melee video was 3:15
In the B+ video, VaNz used Fair three times, only one of which hit.
In the Melee video, VaNz used Fair four times, three of which hit.
While only comparing one video is dumb statistically speaking, I do think that the current iteration of the move isn't very useful, and while VaNz is indeed a skilled player, he doesn't use the move very often in the first place.
Seriously, VaNz. You say it's good, but you never throw it out. I've watched some of your other videos, I was just too lazy to count in any others.
