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:

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.

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.

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 :p though Cake's ZSS judging by his video > Mine same with Claws, I hope to be as good as them some day :p

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.

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

Errors corrected momentarily.

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

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.

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

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.

ZSS's Best Stages to Worst, by Snakeee

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.
