Nice video liked how it showed us some more uses for a couple of the moves and gave us a video on one or two of the moves we've only had descriptions of til now or atleast from what I've seen.

Amazing video! Wow, that was... quite impressive. Too bad the entire thing didn't have that badass Zelda music though. ;]

I should really start using all these little tricks more often.

Lol man, I couldn't help myself when I saw the GaleGuarding, I just slowly started to smile like that grinch green-guy.

Izaw: the editing was awesome, those twisting snap shots..., can't wait for the Linkaggedon video!
I hope that Link can start winning some serious tournaments...

Edit: I watched again aaannd how do you do Hand-Bomb-Zair (HBZ) again? I missed that one.

Great job making this video!
The editing was really cool. My only complaint would be the second song because it's kind of.. overused and doesn't really suit this video. And after that there really wasn't any music in the background. You should have put something in there. =/

This deserves a sticky.

Your version of Gale Guarding is so awesome LOL I'm going to try that out!
When I saw Z-AIR EDGEGUARDING, I had something else in mind.. but what you showed was really cool too. It's really useful since edges are really lame in Brawl.

Please go die in a car accident or something. And when I say accident, I really mean please go stand in the middle of a busy highway. Better yet, just stand in your driveway and I'll do it myself.

Besides the overused Linkin Park song this video is 110% win.

You may get up off your knees and stop orally pleasuring Aurashade any time now. He does not frighten me in the least.
Stop fronting; we all know you'd very much like to take his spot of pleasure-giving ;).

Anyways, lovely video! Someone sticky this, please.

I'm going to rename it a video guide so it's clear what it is but it can stay here.

Very nice work, both on the tutorial and your editing skills. I liked the replays to show how a move could be performed. I'm going to have to try this stuff myself.

There are some fixes you could make though. Spelling errors such as perform being spelled as "preform".

*stopping the video after a few seconds* When I first heard the music in the guide, the first thing that popped in my head was Megaman...only to find out Link also has the ability to change colors. On to the video.

Edit: After watching, I gotta say. I love the ending, wooo!

Actually, my post had nothing to do with Aurashade, but the fact that you said it was the right decision to use that overused Linkin Park song.

LOL

Anyways, I don't want this thread to turn to a war since it's actually useful, so just stop now.
I kind of forgot by the end of the vid, but there were a few spelling errors in the vid.
Hopefully, you'll add some more Link techniques as they are found and update some of the video with our suggestions as a reference =]

BESIDES the song, the video is awesome.

I have the "JabWall" trick, is done by jabbing -> walking -> jabbing..., the AAA maintain its delay buffer while only walking towards, as for now I use it get close and hit with Link's 2nd jab that lifts then Spin or DSmash'em, also good to punish rollers with the 2nd jab too. although the walking distance is not that long because of the time the buffer can hold the string.

you can also add the "DSmash+GaleBack+DSmash 2nd hit" combo to your Linkaggedon video.

Edit: put the "Ftilt slide trick" in the remake, hhm you could call it "TiltSlide" (TS)...

ohh, and the combo I listed above can be called "GaleBackSmash" (GBS), cool...

Congrats on getting this stickied man! =]

Also yeah, after your combo video, you may want to remake this to make it 200% win instead of just 110%. Spelling errors and such. I think I remember there was a "your" that should've been "you're", but I'm generally not picky enough to care. =P

Nice guide, I like how you included the Deva combo in there lol. One note, the jab cancel is wrong. If you really want to cancel it you have to press down and away while jabbing to cancel into another attack. Otherwise opponents can get out of it. You may have also wanted to include the rang to jab lock.

Also, you should have included b-sticking for Link's rang and bow along with the second jump arrow which can lead to tripple arrow spam, along with the bomb jump recovery and a few others like edge guarding.

other than that, good first guide, very in depth.

This is the single most important thread, in the Link forum, and possible the best thread that I have ever seen on these forums. Thank you Izaw.

This video is surprisingly good at showcasing this techniques. Also, where did you get the music for this video? The remix of the Temple theme is awesome.

does any other character have as much of this stuff as I see here?
maybe the IC's and MK (because of ledge cancelling) but other than that I think Link has the most AT's right? (somebody tell me if I'm wrong)
