Social *sigh* oh the life of a Zelda main [A new zelda discussion zone]

Melee and I have a cyclical relationship. I always get sucked back into it no matter how hard I try to stay away.

But more importantly: there is a spider that looks like a scorpion crawling on my wall.

KiLL IT WITH FIRE

I'll give you 5 bux to eat it

Another quality MBR post.

(I love you)

KiLL IT WITH FIRE

I tried napalm, but it survived.

I'll give you 5 bux to eat it

I swallowed it whole, but then it laid eggs in my brain.

Oh here's another silly gif:

On a related note: Silverfish are gross.

 

[GKInfinity]

This is how I deal with silverfish

 

[ShroudedOne]

That killed me.

I'm puttin this in my signature.

 

[DerfMidWest]

Maaan... I just try to grab them :/

Oh here's another silly gif:

yesterday i was bored so i was practicing zelda's and link's moonwalk off > edge grab, where you up B cancel before the edge grab. anyway one of them led to an edge guard with it, which was moonwalk > up B hit > ledge jump zelda bair and it combod. it looked pretty alien but kinda cool.

i also did it into link's up B hit > edge grab as an edge guard, and when the fox dropped slightly below the edge, i hit him with invincible drop > grapple hit > regrab edge > waveland up B spike. it didn't look nearly as cool as zelda's though

take that, level 1 computers

 

[DerfMidWest]

Zelda's moonwalk is pree legit

 

[cannedbread]

it looks more like a moonskip or moonstep

 

[DerfMidWest]

Its not the smallest.

 

[Wake]

I wanna see some ill Zelda dittos at BH2.

 

[cannedbread]

doesn't game and watch have the smallest moonwalk? i wonder what factors in moonwalk length. it probably has something to do with dash dance length or running speed or initial dash speed mized in with some other mumbo jumbo

 

[DerfMidWest]

Traction and initial dash stuff or somethin like that, iirc.

 

[BJN39]

So... What's the current matchup vs Roy? At one time I saw 70:30.

 

[GKInfinity]

Sounds about right to me

 

[BJN39]

Well, that's what I thought, but the Roy MU thread from 2010 most Roys or others said mostly 50:50 to 60:40 Zelda. So I just wondered if either side's opinion had changed.

 

[DRGN]

I would also say it's ~ 70:30 Zelda.

 

[Dark Hart]

I played Chu's Roy for like an hour one time...

I can see 70:30

 

[Soloist]

Did you end up getting matches recorded with PP, Dark Hart?

 

[Deleted member]

i played chu long enough to 4 stock him 4 games in a row. i haven't seen his roy since lol

 

[Dark Hart]

naw Kevin was entered in like every event haha

 

[Sweet™]

I wanna see some ill Zelda dittos at BH2.

Lake and I did Zelda dittos at FC on Cruise.
Wish he coulda made it to BH2.

Hey guys! Melee's new balance patch is here! Melee SD remix Demo 1:
http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=324620

#HYPE!

 

[GKInfinity]

That just reminded me that I installed dolphin a while ago and never tried it out. I probably should

 

[Soloist]

I thought about getting one of these to use for Dolphin. Normally I use a wired 360 controller, but it's a little wonky for Wii/GC purposes.

 

[BJN39]

Here's a little SD remix of someone using zelda: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcGX4cTAoLU

The buffs are pretty good, without being too game changing

 

[KirbyKaze]

I'm going to challenge that, BJN39.

In Melee classic it's amazing to be below Zelda because she has nothing there. She's floaty and has no real threat.

In SD Remix in addition to better physics (her aerial momentum control looks better - not sure if this is a byproduct of other buffs or if they actually buffed that specifically), faster jump speed, and quicker ground mobility she also has Ganon's dair.

This Zelda basically looks like if you combined Ganon with Puff and tossed in Peach's dash attack for posterity's sake. This looks NOTHING like Melee Zelda.

I mean, she looks like a fun character to play and all. But she doesn't look anything like her Melee counterpart. The fact that she's jumping (full jumping, for that matter) as her primary means to approach, defend, etc. is indicative enough. Modern Zelda is primarily a ground character (unless you're Cosmo basically [and even then I kind of think his air style was the byproduct of living vs so many defensive players]). Even then, Cosmo still understood the merits of ground and played somewhat close to it for the most part with SHs. FJ viability and massive mobility enhancements and the presence of a threat underneath her are big changes.

That said, she looks sort of fun to play.


edit: I also think I saw Nayru's knock down at 0. Not sure if it does that in Melee classic but it looked odd. Tempted to check but kind of lazy too.

 

[DRGN]

lol that dair

 

[DerfMidWest]

Lololololol
Zelda.

Oh well, looks more fun to play (both as and against) than that gay *** P:M zelda.

You make a lot of good points, and SDR goals were:
1. Increase character viability by emphasizing already existing character strengths,
2. Increase character mobility,
3. Keep the characters' original style

Of course it's likely difficult to keep the third one with most characters who needed total overhauls, but they're trying, doing great at making them viable, so some weaknesses (Ex: being under zelda, running away from her) might get lost in that. Isn't that natural? ...right?

but yeah that Dair looks crazy fun.

Also, SD remix has released a preview video for Demo 1:

Did pichu's bair just... waht <.<

ok i may take the 1 billion hours it takes to set this stupid piece of **** up just for pichu.

 

[Soloist]

Take your Pichu speak elsewhere boy.

 

[KirbyKaze]

I dislike how every character is now Captain Falcon.

 

[GKInfinity]

It looks like all of Roy's changes just made him more like marth. I mean at that point, why not just play marth?

Idk though, zelda looks like she'd be pretty fun to use. I'll probably try it out

 

[TheLake]

Make it melee zelda

but give her an actual grab speed

and give her brawls UP B

and like

a machine gun

and ill die a happy man

:D
