oh wow I didn't realise you taped us! They were fun games even with wifi considered! Must play you again sometime kupo.
Yeah, can't let my dazzle capture card go to waste. Sure thing!

Oh ! Nice to watch some videos of Kataefi !
Unfortunately, I don't know ANYTHING about Sonic ... This character is NEVERused in France lol.. So I can't really say whether the sonic player's moves and Kataefi's reactions are good or not :( ! But this match is still very nice to watch :p ! (I like the way you use Nair, Kataefi :3)

nb : btw, my combo video is coming soon <3 !
I spammed wayyy too much ASC's and made so many mistakes in that video. So, I was pretty crap. Apparently, Sonic has a good advantage against Zelda >.> I guess I was playing this match up very wrong too. He was the muchhh better player anyway.

Kataefi did very well against me. He won most of them lol. I guess the Sonic exp came from Chis?

Maybe.

Red: It's a good advantage for Sonic. IMO 6-4 or 55-45. I would love to put more info on this down but I hope there is a Sonic Discussion for the MU stuff.

Gotta say, that match between Kata and SoniKupo was extremely entertaining to watch!

@Dark.Pch: That's some mad aggro Zelda you've got there, I haven't seen many of those lately. The Sheik kinda sucked at punishing your attacks though...

nb : btw, my combo video is coming soon <3 !
Make sure it'll be epic, I wanna see Euro Zeldas represent!

Ill have critique vids up soon if HSS is willing to record stuff for me :D
Of course I am. You remember the email address to send the replays don't you?

Lol thankyou guys - I swear my DI can randomly go into super saiyan mode o.O

@Dark - 0:54 was lovely! I thought the sheik player was a little hesitant but that's your job to take advantage of that and you did this well imo
because you won!
. I like the nair to utilt stuff you had going on. Seems like an odd combination but it seemed to work for you.

i watched kata's and dark pch's vids, and i gotta say despite how shallow zelda people make her seem, there are definitely style variations between players.

@kata - your zelda was really entertaining to watch. it was like you were nonchalantly floating around in the air and just happened to intercept sonic on multiple occasions haha

@dark pch - definitely liked the use of tilts and the autocancelling nair stuff, i need to do that more

I was gonna say the same thing. I was thinking to myself how some of the Nairs were spaced so crazy well, and I wasn't sure if he meant to do it though because it was on wifi lol. Nair seems like a good alternative to Fsmashing him on occasion now.

D.Pch - Definitely a different Zelda. Not in bad way. The only thing I would fix is the use of dair. It's just not something you should be getting used to doing too often at least not on the stage. It can be a good move but when the opponent is on stage its high risk for little reward.

watching Kata made me actually miss fighting Sonics a little bit :3

Dark. pch seems very very grounded compared to Kata when i watched his vid, and i did enjoy his tilt usage.

Thanks riot! And yeah I don't know if you want to try it but I'm finding retreating Nairs mixed in with a few fsmashes and jabs here and there quite decent against sonic! I'm comfortable spacing on wifi depending on the connection, but this is also a tactic I use offline as well to the same effect. So long as you space yourself in the right place and he's coming at you in the right time, Nair can be great to mix things up with imo.

The whole overusage of Nair is because I just wanted to experiment with it and autocancels in general. You know... I could have SHLKd a number of times when he fell behind me but in the heat of the match it's just too much to think about for me. But maybe someone else might want to give it a good try.

edit: also don't know if this is useful but I find getting hit by sonic's dash attack at early percents (maybe later with good DI) can place Zelda in a prime position to revenge kick him.

That's if I hit you with the sourspot part of the DA. I'm pretty sure I can shield in time if I see you coming back at me.

What? You mean Nair>uptilt is not legit? Man I seriously don't know what I am doing with this character then, hahahaha!

I was trying to see if he would roll into the Dair. So that was the reason I did that. Mindgame I was trying to do. I don't think I know alot about Zelda. My Zelda is the mindgame type of character. Which might explain why I play wierd.

I found vids of some Zelda named Billy while I was redoing the Pika video archive.

They're from September, but..... there're a lot of older vids in the OP, so. Meh. The singles matches are a money match set (loss); the doubles matches are tournament (wins).

It's a shame that he used me as a guinea pig for that trap... now one of my least favorite matches is all over the inter-webz....

You can DI up and jump away, the only problem is that if the DDD is good he won't be going straight for the trap he will wait to see what you do. And now you are above him... and Zelda hates that so much.
Don't feel bad man. You're still the best Zelda IMO. You helped me demonstrate my technique and people have learned from it. Might be going to a tourney this sat FYI

I have some recorded Link vs. Zelda matches I wanted to share with the SWF Zeldas. The Link boards over at AiB are having their Match up discussion over Zelda right now( http://allisbrawl.com/forum/topic.aspx?id=125768&page=15 ) so I thought I would help a friend of mine Blubba_Pinecone get some matches done to help with their discussion. Now I'm not claiming to be a great Zelda really. In fact I think I play a very weird one(My one and only main nonetheless), but I thought it would be important for you guys to have these matches as well as I notice players on both sides other than a few of the higher leveled ones don't really have much experience with the MU. This is kind proven in the fact I see no recored matches of a Zelda playing a Link at all in this thread. Even though my Zelda may or may not really be that notable I think it would be vital if you guys ever discuss this matchup to have recorded material of what I would personally consider a top Link. Now some may think this is a biased stated due to the fact that me and Blubba have been good friends not too long after the game came out, but I've been playing against Link most likely more than any other character in the game since it was released and not just his. I know what I'm saying when he can easily place just as well as Deva. Well anyway enough of my rambling here's the videos of our matches recorded by Blubba_Pinecone

Match 1 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khkx5KqFdqk
Match 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wQIqPjC37QA
Match 3 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4yG_01HfKqw
Match 4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpybOYURxyw
Match 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6CLnnT-uQQ
Match 6 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I5w2VdkWKj0
Match 7 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cyekOeaF6i8
Match 8 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6kOgm7YblOU
Match 9 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fXWvawjn3tU
Match 10 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qK9URa5RwbI
Match 11 (Taunts at the begging are us lol'ing @ the jabs in match 10) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kUhmOOFnu9M

I didn't really put this up for critique, but feel free if you want to. I know I have an erratic Zelda lol.

"I hope you all enjoy the matches, and both 2Link and I hope they are very helpful at showing the MU." -Blubba

Bwahahahahahahaha nobody critiqued his vids bwahahahahaha too funny.
Heh. I watched them, and I wanted to critique them, but he gets so defensive every time someone tries to tell him something..... *shrug*

Decided it wasn't worth the trouble.

Wow lol what happened at 0:34? - that was the most horizontal nayru's boost I've ever seen O.o, and weirdly buffered from something...

Can this be buffered from, say, a spotdodge then?, or anything? I.e. --> IR's new DACUS but replace the DACUS part with Nayru's.

Looooll SinkingHigher's premonition might just come true!

Analysis from a slow motion replay:

  1. Zelda is hit away
  2. Zelda slams to the ground once and bounces
  3. Zelda slides out of the ground area before she can slam to the ground again
  4. Zelda jumps
  5. Zelda uses Nayru
What's clear is that she became airborne before her two-part slamming-to-the-ground animation had fully ended, which caused the rest of the animation to get canceled. My guess is that because of this Brawl still thought her to be in after-an-attack animation which in turn made love jumping possible.

Why the direction was what it was, I'm not going to say anything yet.

Didnt I say something like that could be possible, but then everyone said probably not
Sounds like this board alright.

If this is old, as you say Kata, then lock it and direct us to the new one.
