Macchiato is kidding, I think!

Zelda is technically worse than in Brawl but I feel she performs better given the environment. It helps that everyone (besides the heavies and Zelda) had damage nerfs across the board.

Don't get me wrong though, like Samus, Zelda is a character that should have only been buffed. Her nerfed Brawl moves would hardly had made her too strong in Smash 4.

I do not think Zelda performs better at all, because all of the characters who got damage nerfs got insane combo ability. Zelda does not get that much combo ability, nor can she KO easily anymore. All ton of her moves got knockback and damage nerfs... We are to the point where Zelda seems a ton worse than the rest of the cast. She has some of the worst matchups against the high tiered characters(Ganondorf has some options against all of them, except for Sheik), and she gets easily bodied. Almost all of her combos come for D-Throw and those are longshots to people that know the MU. Almost every character got a ton of buffs in some way from Brawl, and all Zelda got were tons of nerfs, and a single buff. She simply has a terrible time competing

She's technically nerfed but due to mechanics she buffed. Her jumping offstage was refered to as suicide in brawl, with these new edge mechanics people now think she has one of the better offstage game. Air dodging into the grounds extra lag also helps zelda since that can help her punish more easily, I think the mechanics and the elevator are the think that makes her not bottom tier.

You are forgetting that those are all buffs every character gets.

I would be satisfied if we got brawl uair and utilt along with Melee Lightning kicks. Although she probably needs more than that I would be content with that.
Edit: also phantom that holds charge pleaseeee!

Actually some characters get nerfed from the ledge mechanics like jigglypuff

The landing lag helps zelda more than others
Jigglypuff has had other buffs to compensate for that however. Also yes the landing lag helps Zelda a little bit, but the fact that if your move whiffs, you will get punished even harder. You certainly cannot punish with Fsmash for fear of punishment. The heavyweights, and fast characters helps them more so than it does Zelda.You are also forgetting that Zelda can barely do anything against the high tiered characters, and has no reliable options against many of them. Ganondorf does have options against most of them, such as Nair. Zelda has no such pleasure, and if you think otherwise than you are a fool.

Yes I will admit that zelda doesn't do well against the top tiers except rosalina. I honestly think it's 50:50 or zelda slightly have a advantage. She can compete with the high tiers but the MUs are probably not gonna be in her favor. She might do well against high tiers like mega man, villager, and bowser, but against fast characters. She doesn't do well.

I don't know if she escaped bottom tier (I think Zelda is still bottom 5)
But I mean, Brawl Zelda felt absolutely helpless so often. Granted, fighting a good Sheik as SSB4 Zelda is the same.

But when I land a hit, I can now followup and that helps. Every hit by Zelda hurts (except Jab, Utilt, and Dtilt lol) so we don't need as much combo ability as others. What I think Zelda does need is a much better Din's Fire, storeable Phantom, working smashes, and no blindspot on Ftilt. This is at the very least.

I still think she's the lower part of mid

Honestly to me just having a tool that kills at like 50% helps her a lot.

She needs her brawl self plus her sm4sh Farore's and a chargeable phantom. That would make me so much more happy.

guys stop ragging on utilt so much. I wish it still killed too but its now antiair/antiroll/combo so its not a bad trade off.

I still miss brawl Zelda very much though.

Nintendo logic.

The Majora's Mask DLC comes out in January and we still have almost no infos on it.
Or simply Majora's Mask announcement.

I hope for more skins. There's ton of potential, even if not all characters needs alt costumes (except if you are a fan of Penguin Mario).
But Shulk or ZSS proved that it's not Wario / Little Mac scenario now, so we won't get 8 penguin Mario.

I hope that is the case. I wish they would make a statement. So far the only dlc they announced was Mew Two. I wonder if he was even suppose to be DLC for the game or they heard the crys of mew two fans when he was not announced. (I just want to see if Princess Hilda makes it as a skin along with OOT Zelda and Hyrule Warriors Zelda. The best things comes in 3s)

That's cool and all, but are you still gonna use Bowser/Mopcina from time to time?

I picked up Sonic and I'm having fun with him. Ness was suppose to be my last-ditch effort but his recovery was a pain to get used to. Shulk/Luigi/Sonic for me
Yes, still using Bowser/Marth/Mopcina. Bowser is still my best character atm lol

So today I went to the pharmacy to pick up my anti-depressants for the concussion. A girl, probably 23, was working the counter for some reason. So I ordered my prescription and went to shop a little(Buy one get one free doritos, oh yeah!) and came back. I picked up my prescription, and I came home. I looked into the bag with my prescriptions and it said
Here's my number
***-***-****
Call me <3
WTF?! I am probably like 4-5 years younger than her, and I don't recall picking up anti-depressants making you the sexiest man alive....
*Heavy Sigh*

My best results are with Zelda still, even after all my Olimar, Toon Link, and Palutena attempts =(

I almost want to prepare to jump ship should Zelda go on without buffs (or worse, Elevator gets nerfed).

I'm not even that great looking either. I look younger than I actually am, I still have a little bit of acne, I am short, I wear glasses. The most you could say about me is that I am cute.....
Its okay :p That description is me exactly. I'm also short and have glasses cx. WE CAN BE TWIN BUDDIES! ^-^

In the case of Mewtwo, I guess he wasn't planned as DLC, but Sakurai said importing datas from Melee was hard. So I guess I was remade complete, unlike other veterans. Dr Mario doesn't count, he is a clone :troll:

I just want some alt costumes for Zelda and Ganondorf, honestly.

If they give me skyward sword zelda I will be so happy. I'm still hoping for agitha for DLC lol.
I actually was expecting a SS costume, considering it was the last Zelda game.

Agitha would be so cool. JUST to make people rage being beating by a bug enthusiast loli. (and I love Agitha in HW, by the way).
