^I only have wii U sorry.

Zelda and Link are scrub destroyers but have disadvantages at competitive levels. Unfortunately scrubs tend to whine loudest to Sakurai when they get destroyed.

GGs. Fun fact, I actually planned that Halberd laser kill on you after seeing it happen to a friend of mine.

Also, Duck Hunt. Duck Hunt is kinda flawed. Overall, if I outcamp (olimar) or outspace him (Rosalina), I'm pretty much all set. Not to mention his recovery is pretty bad in both vertical and trying to avoid punishment. So getting you off stage is amazing for me.

If I play patiently, I can win. If I play greedy, I'm in for a world of hurt. You also need to learn to play more patiently. Near ends of matches, you start to resort to Duck Hunt's biggest flaw, his smash attacks. Which don't always even connect all the way and leave him right open if I shield. You have to keep up the defense no matter how bad it gets and only go for an opening when you can.

Still, don't often face him thats for sure.

Did Macchi switch mains again? I swore I saw a Zelda avatar or something for Macchiato yesterday... That and an excuse to use this gif. :p


On another note, Zapp Renfro from Kekkai Sensen or Blood Blockade Battlefront in English looks like K' if he wore white, was more silly, didn't wear sunglasses, and used blood instead of fire powers. There's even a dude who looks a bit like a redhead Wolverine and a bit like Violence Jack which is a really bloody, NSFW anime and manga sort of like Mad Max I guess since I never watched it or read it.

People have mentioned in the past about Zelda's high tier placement in early Melee because back then what is L-cancelling and wavedash and whatnot?

Everyone though her recovery and rolling game (she learned it from Link tbh) was too good to be true, and the fact that Lightning Kicks kill super early made everyone cry.

Then they realize that Fair/Bair is her only usable move. Ooops.

Although I hate Dark Pit as a character, this will help my bro soooo thanks aero

When are you doing Mario's frame data btw? Just curious
if mario wasnt literally the black plague...

Similar thing happened in Brawl.

Started at mid tier, dropped to 2nd last once enough time passed.
Hopefully people have learnt their lesson this game...

If we're talking about Zelda


Then...nope :secretkpop:


Something I never understood is why the hell was Farore's Wind reappearance hitbox a fire move in Melee/Brawl.
There was no reappear hit-box in Melee.

But yeah the fire made pretty much no sense. I still want the PM devs to fix that in PM.

Logically it should have a wind box. Did Melee have wind? I can't remember.

I'll play wifi friendlies if anyone wants? I'm not playing well today though.

Zelda will always be in an awkward spot. Her base moveset that Sakurai has given her since Melee just DOESN'T WORK. If it's just going to be some minor changes from game to game, of course she isn't going to be any better than low tier. Problem is that if you change her such that she gets something incredibly new, like PM's Din's Fire, then people are going to complain like crazy and call her too good and OP even though she still suffers the same fundamental problems she has with her moveset and attributes throughout. No matter what, if she's good, then people are going to complain. If she's bad, people are STILL going to complain. Lose lose situation for our queen here, and I hate it. :////

Not sure why should people complain.
Isn't it fun destroying someone with a "bottom tier" character?

I'm sorry that you don't understand being a top tier main. :secretkpop:

Only scrubs lose to bottom tiers. Scrubs have loud voices and people follow them blindly and Sakurai doesn't realize she's trash. The pros will be able to adapt quickly to her tricks (READ: ZELDA HAS ONE LINEAR GAMEPLAN, PREVENT HER FROM DOING THAT = WIN) and easily beat her.

You can only have so much fun beating people with bottoms.

Absolutely.

If I could trade all the salt :zeldamelee: generated for money back in the day, then I'd never have to work in my life.

It's funny, both Bowser and Zelda were bottom/low tier in Melee in Brawl due to bad design.
Come Smash 4, and :4bowser:is decent and no longer bad.

Why? They actually bothered to change his design around.
What happened to :4zelda:?

We all know the answer to that.
