but what about his idle where projectiles bounce off of his shield
But he has a double handed sword so having a force field on his arm wouldn`t work and also they can`t change animations so 1) It would be a static force field and 2) Link would be holding a 2 handed blade with 1 hand making it almost impossible to hold, much less attack with.He has a magic invisible force field on his arm..
Ike uses a two-handed sword with one hand already. Not seeing much strength in that argument.
Yes, but that`s to show Ike`s strength and it`s canon. In MM Link needed both hands to hold the great deity sword so the fact that he can magically do it in smash would be stupid. This isn`t a normal smash game, this is Project M, so saying "smash games don`t follow canon" doesn`t work here.
No, if anything, it works even moreso than it does in the normal games because it's not any of the official Smash games..
There is a long list of things not canon about Smash if you actually know all of your info for all of the characters. Some others are so obvious that your statement saying otherwise seems outright silly.
And **** with his shield hurtbox (or, anti-hurtbox, or whatever)? How about no?
Ok, I admit the not a normal smash game thing was a stupid comment on my part, but while smash games never really follow canon, they have never gone so far as to ignore something so important to a character as them not being able to hold a shield.
Mario can't throw fireballs outside of "Fire Mario" an the Super Jump Punch isn't a move in the Mario games after all of these years (...Why? Seriously, that should totally be a thing), Dedede's hammer has never has a rocket mechanism inside of it and I don't recall him throwing random Waddle Dees (Or Doos) at any time in the games, Zamus's ass isn't a jiggly as it was in Zero Mission according to someone's sig on this forum, but for a more serious example, her Emergency Pistol didn't have a plasma whip or wire function in Zero Mission at all, and Ganondorf's entire moveset is a mess of non-canon outside of maybe his FS, but the fact that anyone one outside of Link can even beat Ganon in Smash is much moreso.
really...? an easy search for fierce deity gave me so many options...
So we should just ignore canon bcuz it looks cool?
...seriously, the shield isn't that big of a deal... the sword can just be downsized... this argument hurts my brain....
Who cares about canon in Smash Brothers? There's this new guy called Douglas J. Falcon, races cars, punches dudes.
Because the Great Deity Link is a form of Link that gives him a two handed blade that is longer then his regular blade and shoots beams, a costume that goes against that would look very unprofessional.
Young link used a bow and the hook shot in Melee. Gannon is a Captain Falcon Clone. Sheik is an actual dude with a **** in the magna, but in brawl she's padded down girl. In the Super Smash Bros. Brawl manual, Zelda is referred to as a queen instead of a princess. I don't want to hear **** about Zelda cannon in Smash.
He used both of those in Majora's Mask, brah. And they were gold.
As he should be. Lord of darkness and dickstomping should punch the living daylights out of everything for fun.
The manga is the canon now?
Throws fireballs, jumps to break bricks with his fist held high, and uses the cape in the SNES games. His moves are established in his own universe. Complaining about how is trivial.
Turbocharged hammer seen as Masked D3, throwing Waddle's shows his status as 'above' them and as a total prick.
E-pistol tech could easily be assumed to use some sort of tech that her grapple beam uses. We play as ZSS a very small amount time compared to suited Samus, so what else could they have her do that wouldn't be stupid.
Don't even start this again. Ganondorf is beefy, he punches things, end of story.
Being a futuristic bounty hunter.
Oh man, I know riiiigtht? Look how ****ty this textures loo-
Majora`s Mask
So? Where does it say in the Hyrule Hystoria that he can`t do any of the moves he does in Smash?
I actually think that in this case Brawl is following the canon more then the manga. The manga isn`t necessarily canon and obviously Zelda can`t change gender.
This actually seems more canon then the game. How is there a Princess, but no King or Queen? That would automatically (regardless of age) make Zelda the Queen of hyrule.
Of course other people have made there own textures of him with a shield! We`re (or at least I`m) talking about the professionalism of the PMBR and how something that strays this far from canon shouldn`t get in.Oh man, I know riiiigtht? Look how ****ty this textures loo-

well then...

Of course it`s doable. I`m saying that they shouldn`t do it because it will look extremely unprofessional.
Hyrule Historia can't even get the timeline straightened out, so I wouldn't call it the most reliable thing out there.
Remember me?
Gotta respect the hitboxes, mang. You can't change the size of the sword. You'd have to change the hitbox data to accommodate for the size changes, which means that the tiny change would make Link no longer P:M Link.
They gave Dr. Mario his lightning fair and pills, gave shadow peach shadow magic in her attacks (shown in the 3.0 trailer), and gave Outset Link his Hero`s Sword just to keep the skins canon so do you really think they are going to let something so big pass?
1) True, but that point still stands, what keeps Ganon from being able to use the moves he has in Smash?Hyrule Historia can't even get the timeline straightened out, so I wouldn't call it the most reliable thing out there.
Remember me?
This is about as true as it gets. Whine about 'canon' and how 'true' something is all you'd like, but most tournaments are running vanilla textures anyway. You want to turn your game into the ultimate fanbuild? Go ahead, but the consistency of a character shouldn't be compromised just because something 'isn't canon'.
The facts that: one, he's burly, hefty, meaty, and ****ing huge, as to imply that he punches **** as well as master sorcery, and two: his moveset has been around for twelve years, we can't really change it and call it 'fair'. Unless you're an idiot. Which I don't take you for.
This statement implies that FD Link is being added, which he isn't, which would be because of the massive issue caused by having his big-ass sword having to have hitboxes changed. Link can't have hitbox data for one costume, and separate data for another, so you're either going to have a sword that misses when it looks like it should hit, or a sword that is too small and somebody out there will whine about.
This is why I`m saying they shouldn`t add him in the first place. Having him in with a smaller sword and shield will make it look just as fanbuildy as having him in with his longer sword and having strange things like projectiles bounce off of his stomach for no reason happen.
I'm all for Link in FD Link's armor, I mean, it's not that bad of a thing. FD Link wore some cool duds, and the tats were nice. It's not that big of a deal if it's just Link playing dress-up.
Where did he get the armor in the first place? Did YLink put on the Mask, take off the armor, and give it to his future self by pulling out the master sword?
