Misc. Zelda Questions!

[Hailzeon0079]

Well after seeing some vids, and what they did to my melee main (shiek), I think Zelda is looking good, so I have some questions.

1. Since Din's Fire is larger, does link's shield still block it?
2. Do her aerials always auto sweetspot?
3. What would you say is zelda's worst matchup?
4. Any cool combos you want to share?

1: Yes
2: No

My question: Can Farore's punish people edgehogging Zelda without invincibility frames, and can she grab onto the ledge after knocking them off with Farore's?

 

[Luthien]

1. Depends. If you can get the ball to go just behind him, it'll hit him. However, dentonating the ball right in front of him will allow his sheild to protect him.
2. No. Which is why the kick has ultimately been nerfed. The rewards for hitting the sweetspot are greater, but it's way harder to land.
3. Dunno. Someone smart can answer this one.
4.Nope. Haven't played the game.

 

[Ztarfish]

1. I recall hearing that it always blocked as long as he was staying still even if it went behind him, but I very well could be wrong.
2. No. What would be the point of a Sweetspot if it automatically did it for you?
3. I've heard Olimar, just because he's frickin tiny and hard to land anything besides Din's with.
4. Not played it yet.

Wow, my answers weren't very helpful at all

Question of my own: So in some videos (most noticeably Darkmusicians) I'll notice sometimes a Din's will be far away from the opponent, but still hit him and sometimes the explosion will be like right on top of the guy and nothing will happen. Why is this?

 

[Iris]

Ztarfish: It might be aerial dodging. It's kind of subtle.

That's it. Ztarfish, you know about the new airdodge mechanics, no?

 

[Ztarfish]

Well yeah, except every time i've seen air dodging I noticed it. I dunno, maybe it got lost in the explosion.

I thought it was air dodging, but I was looking for it and I couldn't see it. Oh well, maybe I need to look harder.

 

[Lingy]

You can airdodge as many times as you want now right?

 

[Luthien]

Yeah, but the airdodges don't move you anywhere, you keep the momentum you had before airdodgeing. So Zelda's airdodge doesn't go farther than her second jump anymore. >.>

 

[Lingy]

Oh well, as long as you can spin your way down

 

[Ledger_Damayn]

Could someone please clarify how the new air dodge system works? Despite being just momentum based, it seems to be too good if you can just continuously air dodge.

1. link can still block dins fire with his shield only on the ground and he his to be at a stationary stop.
2.her moves do not sweetspot you have to sweetspot them yourselves.
3. i am pretty sure marth prolly, but i dont know its too soon to tell and plus she is a better character now so i dont know.
4. the best combo is dins fire juggle.

Air dodging is to jumping like sidestepping is to standing still: your trajectory stays the same, but you're invulnerable for a bit. However, just like a spot-dodge, you can get hit afterwards pretty easily, so it's not really broken
