That would be like... someone writing an essay about disturbed youths, then someone writing an essay about disturbed teenage youth. It's the same **** thing, you just added a short section at the end!

Its a comparison. I lol'd at the whole guide while watching. It was almost the same thing as Izaw's except for T. Link. :p

"Zair-> Hyphen Smash"

LOL

T. Link = no DAC

Izaw, why not make a new guide with the kinks fixed like jab canceling, and some new content, that would be awesome.

Izaw, your Link is amazing. I learned all my combos from you, and I used to be a horrible Link user, but now I can beat even the toughest players :). Thanks for sharing your Link insight with everyone!

Meh Link's been modeled after yours from the start. Your style of play just doesn't wanna grow on me though. But I got a question do you find Instant Frame DAC's to be the best or Dash assisted DAC's? Just wondering...the Dash gives you more distance but the Instant frame is more of a surprise in my opinion. Oh and nice Smash Tourney in Germany I cracked up at the GHAY! Part XD Beastly vids and hopefully you can beat serpit another time -.- Oh and Gold Tunic ftw...

Hey Izaw thanks for the tips. I've been through wolf, sonic, and metaknight as potential mains.. and I think I'm going to try Link because of your vids. I'm never satisfied with one character... but If I can utilize these "arts" properly... I think Link will suit my adapted style of play nicely. Thanks =)

Through this I learned how to use DACUS and Zair properly. Still have some trouble with getting the bombs right, but I'm still improving.

What's so special about QDA? The tutorial says it's faster....although I sure as hell don't see how it is. Anyone care to go in depth about it that does notice it when they personally use it in battle.

QDA allows you to do a dash attack on the first few frames of the dash animation

it is possible to dash attack just as quickly without the cstick but since you can't do a running dsmash anymore it just makes it quicker

as for use in battle.....the dash attack is pretty **** punishable so i try not to use it, i just craq walk around and zair lol

The dash attack can be used when the opponent is too far to fsmash. It just barely outranges it.

I think the reason was like a lot of stuff is very known now or something *shrug* it was a good video if you ask me.

I understand the reason why this would be unstickied (very known techniques, video link included in other stickies, techniques discussed in other stickies), but for the record, I liked it as a sticky because it was kind of the crown jewel of the Link boards...oh well...

Hey Izaw, when you gonna drop magnum the art of link 2 on us, buddy?


Also: Whoever got this unstickied, can you please do the same for "Weekly Character Discussion: Link" thanks.

Well it's in the video archive; why would we use up a sticky for this?
No offense to Izaw, it's still the best video ever. But you see my logic behind it right?

It is sure to get re-stickied again (hopefully). Makes no sense why in the first place. <_<

I support the decision to remove the sticky from this thread.
We have an Official Link Video Archive. I agree that this is an amazing video, but why does it need its own topic?
