Thats good to hear, and try not to use the word "mindgame" unless its a sweeping generalization, I tend to categorize what type of mixups, set ups, baiting, feints etc. I use. It will make situations easier to recognize and such easier to repeat results.

I think that Deva should make a "rule" where only "good" Link players should have their videos up (it's something I was told to do with my Roy video thread). Reason? Not to be mean, but for the fact that video threads pretty much serve all one purpose- to show footage people can learn from, consequently, becoming more skilled with a certain character. By showing videos of a Link spamming the spin attack, I doubt new Link players will be learning correctly.
So to keep it simple and short, I don't think that just any Link should be on first post, but hey, it's Deva's thread.

I loved your Roy video thread. I picked up Roy for like 2 weeks because of it, then I realized Roy is even worse than Link and gave up.

On topic: NJzfinest is right, people constantly post their videos for critiquing on the boards instead of this thread anyways. There's a few of them up right now actually.

NJzFinest and Skler are right. I want to see Link videos to learn more of how to use Link, so do you (I think) and because of this only the truly great Link players must be there (even if that means that my own videos wouldn't be in the first post).

i've read some of the things you've said about me while i've been away, and i'm flattered. so, sure, i'll take the time to watch your new vids when they come out and give advice accordingly; that is, if i'm not banned, for the fourth time, beforehand.

do you even have some old vids up? if so, are they worth watching?

Probably not. XD I up b way to much and stuff. I am not that good (hence the word n00b in my name). If you want to search for my Link stuff, then go for it but don't say I didn't warn you.

You must like that avatar. XD

Here are the vids: I mess up alot in these vids for some reason. *hits self on head*

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o_ulMxBVmw0 (against Falco)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfxtq_bsC0U (against Fox)

I need more advice than showing these vids for people to learn from, but whatever. XD

Edit: Decided why not show SOME old ones.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2821WshibKc (against Samus)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFdkamr_PWw (dumbest sds ever. . . . seriously, against Marth)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61YICkCRhYY (against Sheik :o)

i watched your first match. you're not bad; however, if you want advice, it's imperative that you're very specific about the problems you're having, whether it's against a certain character or what have you. because if you're not, i would write way too much. i'll just mention this little, random tidbit: around 2:50 during the match i saw, you should've followed your first nair with a second jump>nair>then up-b back to the stage; it would've ko'ed him.

also, always roll using the c-stick. i'm sure you know why so i won't explain.

Thanks for the tidbit. ;)

Most of my problems comes from lack of experience (not reading opponents correctly, do not change strats or mix up effectively, do not mindgame with projectiles enough, not patient enough, etc). I am sure that I will patch some of these things up by playing more (and against a more people). Anything else that is wrong with my playstyle that is dead obvious, just say. XD

Edit: I do have problems with space animals but I really don't know why. I rather face Sheik. So strange.

unfortunately, that's a problem that i can't help you with. unless, however, you would like to come to vegas and do battle.

you do know how to take advantage of the space animals' natural fast-falling and arieal stun-time, right? i'm pretty sure you do. link can combo them quite effectively if you have the know-how and training.

At first I thought that it should be democratically but that would be a REAL mess. I mean, imagine how many post are needed to agreed if just one video should be in the first post :ohwell: .

So I think the best solution is that the best videos should be arbitrarily elected by someone... and because this thread belongs to Diva he should be the one who select them.

People who do a good job displaying how well Link can be played, therefore, serving as a good example to learning players (Azen, Trevyn, HDL, Aniki, etc).

Here is one of me, it is a bit old but oh well. I have gotten a little better since this vid was made (I think it is about 3 or 4 months old). If you want to give me advice, go ahead. If not, oh well. I do know how to bomb jump, I just have days where I miss it every time (like in tournaments).

I recorded some more vids with a few other smashers over the weekend, so hopefully I can get them to put those up so I can have some recent matches for you guys to view.

Just One thing... please if it's possible, (I'm talking to the moderators of this section) update the first topic, beacuse there are so many new vids of Link and the topic should be updated... This is just a suggestion.. Thanks.

Alright everyone, I'm back. Sorry for the absense. Been participating in tourneys here in Washington instead of spending time on the boards. Hopefully I'll be ranked 8th or 9th by the end of the month. I updated the thread so no worries DarkLink. Now, I've seen a few concerns about who should be on the first post so I'll see what I can do. I'd like to hear a few opinions on who should be on the first post. Now, many of the legendary Link players are good, AKA Aniki/Azen, but a lot of their stuff is outdated. They don't even use the light shield edg guard against Marth. I'll put a few of their vids up but I'd like a few mor recent players up...,even if I have to take myself off. For all the other players, just post your vids on the thread and they will be critiqued. If a vid looks really good, let me know and I'll add it to the list for now I just want a few opinions before the first draft.

Also, might get some new vids up soon. Possibly against Silent Wolf and Ka-master in the mix.

You actually play pretty well. Only suggestion is to speed up a little. By that I mean don't stand around when planning your next move. do a little dash dance or wavedash a bit so your opponent doesn't know what you're planning. There were a few times where you stood there and DC unleashed the **** if you know what I mean. One trick against Falcon that you should use sparingly is when you see him approaching with the nair, cc d-smash as he lands if you time it right it should hit before he grabs. DOn't use it too much though since he can shield when he lands if he knows it's coming. If you get it off you can usually get two d-smashes before he DI's and after that you can follow up with a dash attack into a spin attack. Overall though Nice Link

edit: @Shaeman111, I'm a bit confused. At first I thought it was another noob who was like "OMG show me how to wavedash since it's all you did in your old videos...." Then I watched your vids and was really surprised at how well you play. I couldn't figure out why wavedashing was your biggest problem when you could do everything else so well. To top it all off, I'm very proud to see that you are one of the few Link players who watch their opponents movements. You really can't win as LInk if you don't, though the same goes for any character. Still especially Link. You know the FOx matchup really well so ggs. I look foreward to future vids.

this is off subject, but it's vital to take time off from smash every now and then; it'll make you better. trust me.
