The Law

Anyone remember Judge Dredd? Well like the Judge's in that movie the law is carried out by the members of the Zero Suit Samus Forum. Who are possibly the most vicious and angry people on the face of this planet. We will end you, those you love, those you've met casually on the subway, and those who you don't know but might have known in a former life, if you violate our laws. They are detailed in this immaculate thread by DeliciousCake:

[ph00tbag]

I think the useful videos section could be made more robust. There are a few very good matches out there with Sparrow and Claw in particular that I can think of, as well as other players.

 

[DarkShadowRage]

I had a boss battles guide here.. some where...

though never got to the tabuu section.
http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=166815

Ah there it is, though not sure if you guys will find it useful, but seeing as I am the only as far as I know who has ZSS videos of boss battles on youtube

Yeah there's one or two of Cake and DSR on Wifi matches, which I will put in a separate section. I had a job interview so I just put it together before I got my clean and sexy on.

Edit: Boss Battles is up there, and list the fights for me ph00tbag so I don't have to go grab-assing through the whole library.

It's not entirely complete as I haven't had a chance to work on it for a while, and it's been disputed that moves are a frame off, but throw the frame data up on there for the hell of it so people can get a general idea of how fast/slow ZSS' moves are.

 

[fkacyan]

Not bad. Glad we have a good guide popping up.

 

[DarkShadowRage]

http://www.youtube.com/user/DarkShadowRage2

You can view my wifi matches on my youtube, though the most recent ones are obviously the better ones, I find it funny how my older videos show my progression with her, and I'm still trying to learn new stuff though Cake's ZSS judging by his video > Mine same with Claws, I hope to be as good as them some day

 

[Bouse]

Yeah, I'm not in a particular mood to hunt through videos at the moment. If you're one of the Zero Suits I deem worth watching so far:
DSR
Cake
Claw
Snakeee
Sparrow

Pick out some of your better matches and either post them here or send them to me in a message.

PREFERABLY MATCHES AGAINST CHARACTERS THAT ARE AT AN ADVANTAGE OR ON EVEN KEEL WITH ZERO SUIT SAMUS.

I don't want a billion, "I just beat up Ganondorf!" videos. Though I do trust that those aren't what you all would consider your best, and would have respect for your own achievements against difficult adversaries.

 

[Adapt]

you forgot http://smashboards.com/showthread.php?t=170891
Snakeee's recovery tips, which is really odd because I thought you got the idea for this topic from that thread (as per my last post in it)
I was gonna make it myself, but i was on my break at work and didnt have time, and when I finished work someone had beat me there

 

[fkacyan]

There are my matches, but I'm not all that good yet. D=

 

[Snakeee]

I'm hurt that my Recovery Thread, Stage Thread, and Techs thread are not included . Thanks Adapt for mentioning it though lol. Oh, and that you don't recognize me as a player "worth watching" -_- .

*headdesk* Forgot to mention snakeee myself, my applogies snakeee.

Doh >_<
<---- Is sorry

I"ll hunt for them, and I just haven't watched your videos yet.

Actually I might have seen one or two of your vids. You just don't give me enough luvz.

Errors corrected momentarily.

Edit: Next time please give me links to your threads.

 

[DeliciousCake]

Looks like I gotta go through my ZSS matches now...

 

[Bouse]

I think I may do a few specific stand out matches, then post YouTube channels of top players. Opinions?

 

[DeliciousCake]

Unfortunately, I don't have any up-to-date video's, so you'll have to make due with these for now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KbKURHvRdUc (vs. Toon Link [Masahiro]) Masa makes huge use of all of TL's projectiles, so it shows how you have to deal with them. I taunted a lot in this one.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoSbP8Yiqdk (vs. Pit [DEVL]) Dunno how good of a match up this was, but I like the ending.

I couldn't find an exemplary match against Metaknight.

Yeah I was going to add the one against DEVL, you show exactly how to nail the Up Special into Aerial.

 

[Snakeee]

Bouse thanks for adding me, but you linked both of those to the battlefield fight X_X

It would be best to replace my thread drawing from what FadedImage stated with FadedImages own thread.

 

[Bouse]

Yeah, and I have the video of Ikki doing the stunlock to Fox in the video section.

 

[DarkShadowRage]

I had some videos somewhere on my tube showing the double dsmash..though...i got so many videos ..of my matches..old ones where i sucked up to the new ones where i'm better XD

 

[DarkShadowRage]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PV-km-K5QJI&fmt=18
This one is about a week old, before claws video even came out and such.
But I chain smashed his wolf, but then he accidently flew off the stage XD

Though, this is not my most impressive fight but it shows the smash anyways, when I look back at it, it doesnt seem very good to me anymore XD

 

[Ørion]

Nice idea, I feel honored I'm in here :0. Anyway, this should get a sticky and nice job making a resource thread.

 

[ph00tbag]

Sparrow's set against SDM at that one tourney was awesome. I'd suggest it, personally.

Starts here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4aIRBCc0MCg

 

[Bouse]

Sparrow Vids, up. I dropped the 2nd match. Also DSR, I put up the Ikki chain stun vid. It's a lot less laggy looking.

 

[Bouse]

Updated with youtube channels (sorry about double post)
I think you might have to vote the thread in order for them to pay attention to sticky or something. Either that or yell "HEY YOU ADMINS IS YOU CAN STICKZ PLEAZ?"

Hey Bouse
I just realized that two things on this thread are not hyperlinked as i assume they should be. They are:
ZSS's Best Stages to Worst, by Snakeee
and Official Brawl Tier Discussion
just thought you would want to know.

TY some of the links must have broken when I edited it <_<;

Edit: BTW who loves our board for how quickly we get organized?

 

[Johnthegalactic]

Sticky this please moderators, or we will have to begin 1337 speaking.

 

[Bouse]

I'm going to probably add short descriptions to every link, going to head out for a bit but I should have it done by, at the latest, around 7 EST 2nite. Once it's done lemme know what you think, like if it seems like a good layout/bad layout, and what you think we could do to make it better. I arrange stuff by authors and might do it by validity of subject, but then that would probably just break things down into spastic opinionated arguments.

Edit: Just finished it on a lunch break. I decided to get rid of all the stray links and just incorporate them into the titles. Also I color coded it and added descriptions. Let me know what you think, also I double checked and all the links "SHOULD" be right. But if one of you people who has nothing better to do than check them for me a third time I'd appreciate it.
