I dunno why it's in 4:3 format even though I recorded in 16:9, but oh well.

Just wait 'till you get to Ness and the spacies. Hilarious.

I dunno, that shield is pretty awesome when a spacie wants to camp from the other side of FD. The only way for that Shield to be any more awesome is if Link can use it to bash people with. XD Dat block on the Aura Spheres and the "Aura Bomb" was too awesome.

I almost forgot about that ability of Link's. My older brother used that on me a lot. Back when I was experimenting with Falco for the first time in Melee, (which I then decided to go back to Link. Don't know why I ever left him...) he just stood there when I short hopped lasers and he blocked every single one. Awesome video, I did not realize it was that useful in Project M, I may have to use it more often.

Yeah it may not be of much use on high level play, but the fact that you can cancel certain moves like PK Flash or Aura Bomb by merely standing still or walking into them and tanking the hit like a juggernaut is commendable.

We should see if we can get the PMBR to decrease the knockback of stuff if it hits the shield while we're crouching... Eheheheheh. I didn't know about the PK Flash though; Awesome.
