GGs,

That's it for my Link tonight.

Some important things to note:

You can't stop fighting me for stage control, as our matches went on it became more and more a situation where I would just be burying you with bombs followed by boomerangs and arrows while you were stuck at the corner of the stage. There were a number of times where I would tack on an easy 50% from my chip damage with projectiles alone.

Mix up your ledge recovery options, almost always you did a normal ledge get up to the point that I was punishing you almost every single time you tried to come off the ledge, I would kick you back out and you would come back to the ledge and the cycle would repeat itself and I'd get a free 40%+ damage from the ledge punishes and the projectile damage you were taking as I would pester you offstage. A few times this got you killed because all I had to do was SH Dair and the hitbox would frame trap you and cost you the stock.

Don't miss ledge sweetspot opportunities, a few times you would DJ just above the ledge and you would get punished hard because you exposed yourself in such a way. Link's F-Smash at the edge (which is what I punished you with a few times when I caught you doing this) will kill the entire cast very early, especially if I get to charge it for a few seconds while I wait for you to come back to the ledge.

I've said it numerous times when referring to this matchup, and it is somewhat implied when I mentioned that I cornered you with projectiles, but:

Link's Bombs beat every single projectile Robin has except for Thoron. If you attempt to challenge his bombs with a Thunder Projectile or Arcfire you will lose 95% of the time.

Finally, don't be so quick to burn your DJ, once you do that it's very easy for Link to catch your landing with some kind of projectile or a grab. Furthermore, you should never attempt any aerials on shield when approaching Link, his Clawshot negates any sort of spacing you have and I'll just get a free grab and a nice 10% or more damage every time I catch you.

I'm sorry, but if you're honestly telling me these:
Are better than these
Then I'm going to have to call you crazy.
Empoleon mustard race.

The one major issue I had with Diamond and Pearl was that there was a total of about 2 fire type pokemon you could get before the elite 4, and one of them was chimchar, so unless you wanted to use Rapidash you were kind of pigeon-held into getting chimchar for fire coverage.

Pac-man's fire hydrant ain't got nothing on Cammy's fists! lol

I can't stand the overuse and blatant milking of a good concept that ruins what made it good in the first place.
Whenever I hear fire hydrant, I think of Pac-Man. :chuckle:

Yeah it's pretty bad when milking happens to good things. Popular TV shows fall victim to this quite often too.

At the end of the day, it's all about the money unfortunately.

Because Arcthunder has amazing combo potential. Thoron is more or less a KO skill. Also, Arc Thunder takes less time to charge.

Gez, why is there so much Minion hate in here? I know they have been appearing on a lot of products, but it was a good movie.

*Reciprocates high five*

Also that was my point, bowties, berets, AND fezzes are all extremely cool!

*Zips lips on Doctor Who spoilers*

What episode are you on?
*High fives intensified*

Yeah they are.

I only just watched the Gun Slinger episode.

Lucario is pretty average in Pokémon as well. His mega form, however, is banned in the Smogon ruleset, along with :4greninja:.
Really? I think his quiet good. Though I'd imagine him being steel hinders him in some way. I can see his mega being banned, but :4greninja:? Really? His a glass cannon. Why would he be banned?

Why not grab his bombs or better yet, dodge them?

Likely won't be here for it.

Ya boi's got a date tomorrow night. Seeing 'Vacation' in theaters, followed by dinner at

Never heard of the place IDK if it's Canada exclusive food joint or what. Anyhow have fun on your date sir.

Also gg's @The Soulless One there was alot of dumb stuff that happens in the games especially the first game and the recovery flubs on my part thinking I had a jump but it got eaten by the previous attack beforehand. Just need to work on the Robin vs Link MU and not get blown up by his grab less on top of patterns getting read.

But hot damn though that grab Link has now you can't touch his much at all anymore unless your recovery is faster than his grab with that half a football field grab range. Reminds me of Omega's Red command grab in X Men COTA and the vs series with how much range it has.

BEcause Arc Thunder KOs much sooner than Thoron and is harder to deal with. Even then ElThunder is my favorite along with it.

Thoron isn't like :4samus:Charge Shot, :4mewtwo:Shadow Ball and :4lucario:Aura Sphere. It's mostly a move I see more for crowd control and surprise attacks. A great Tactician doesn't rely on the greater risk for every victory

B-but with Thoron you can get those sniper kills :4darkpit: ;^;

How much is Arcthunder better than Thoron though?

This is what I don't understand. Why would Sakurai make Arcthunder more powerful than Thoron? It just makes no sense, particularly when you compare to the other characters you said. I just wish he'd either change the angle it launches the opponent or/and increase it's power.

One reason I keep it at Arcthunder is with the new buffs, you have a lot more options with it. Depending on your spacing of it, it can lead to a free Nosferatu, just about any aerial, and even Arcfire. Overall you can get a bit more out of Arcthunder then just hitting someone with Thoron. Really though it just depends on the situation/match up.

You may want to be more specific about this knight, if you don't want to be facing the business end of Alondite
All I can recall is that the black knight was pretty Unambiguous. The other one seemed had a vague feeling to them, like they weren't very specific. :p

Doesn't Arcthunder use more of the Thunder tome than Thoron?

Maybe that's one reason

You know Robin's whole gimmick behind the tomes having limited uses?

Yep, that, it focus more on spacing your uses of your thunder moves than spamming Thoron like a mad man like it's a regular charge shot

I wouldn't say that if I was you. Trust me.

So you use Arc thunder for set ups? Reasonable. Reasonable.

:4lucario: is pretty average from what I can remember. Decent Attack and Sp. Attack, okay Speed, and frail defences.

:4greninja: has amazing speed and a very diverse movepool. His attack stats aren't super great, but Protean gives every move STAB. Ever since he got Gunk Shot via oras tutors, he only has one switch-in: Porygon2

..or something like that.

But he is a glass cannon, anything scarfed or just faster than it can ohko, So I don't get the ban.

Is that Skyrim (SKSE) I see there? Also, what's your Steam ID?

So tell me...
Stormcloaks or Imperials?
Dark Brotherhood or Destruction of Dark Brotherhood?
Race?
Playstyle?
What mods did you favor?

And on the topic of desktops...
Here's what mine looks like today:

Steam ID is Raziek, as you might guess.

I don't play Skyrim all that much on PC (I did most of my playing on Xbox when it launched, picked up PC later on Steam Sale), but....

Stormcloaks.
Dark Brotherhood.
Imperial in one run, Breton in the other.
Imperial was a Stealth character, Breton was a mage.
Mods were mostly cosmetic stuff, a few follower mods, a few spell mods.

AS AN ASIDE.....

Having trouble understanding how to fight Mega Man? Here's me fighting :4megaman: for 2 hours or so.

I should have seen that one coming...

You missed out. With a good Rig, and the right Mods, Skyrim on the PC slaughters Skyrim on the consoles.

Stormcloaks.
Dark Brotherhood.
Imperial in one run, Breton in the other.
Imperial was a Stealth character, Breton was a mage.
Mods were mostly cosmetic stuff, a few follower mods, a few spell mods.
Damn. Straight up opposite of me. I always destroyed the Dark Brotherhood and I always joined the Imperials. I usually played as an Imperial, but went with a sword fighting mage. Mods, well... I used a lot. I'll be honest, I wouldn't be surprised if Elder Scrolls VI is only PC just so they can put in a more powerful modding ability.

Also, check your Steam.
