That picture of Zelda is ugly and fights the whole "modern" theme you are trying to go for here.

Use something better like... http://i33.tinypic.com/2iavt36.jpg
Eeewww, I don't really like that picture.

*shrugs*, if people really had a problem with it then I would have no problem changing it.......but I really don't think it's that bad.

I have a couple other pictures that I have in mind for possible replacements.

I could just photoshop the nose smaller if you still wanna use it, its subtle and looks good. I made my sig Zelda's boobs bigger and they look nice...

I only find amusement in all this. I would sooner have no picture, but we seem to have a more creative group in the Zelda crowd.

@Sniperworm

Seriously, you can't be that bad. Plus, if you're on here helping others out, I am sure we can help you out.

Zelda has the chest of a pre-pubescent anorexic male. I did what I could to enhance her without looking too photoshopped ^_^.

Marsulas, how's the video filtering going? I have not been able to look at any all weekend, but I will see what I can get accomplished tomorrow as I have a good bit of free time during the day to try and help you out.

With the holiday coming up, I will be playing a fair amount of smash with JCaesar (ROB), TheTantalus (ROB/Fox/Kirby), and VanillaWaffle (Lucario/Luigi/Kirby and my teammate), so I hope to have a few vids to share. JCaesar just placed 9th at C3 here on the east coast and was very close to placing even higher (he took plank to the 3rd game which was very close). JCaesar and I filter the videos as he has been looking for a few more Zelda vids to post in his thread, so I will get a second opinion of any videos before I post them up.

I actually have the rest of the week off, so I should be able to update everything within the next few days.

I'm going to take some videos down and only put up the ones I think deserve to be up.

I should also be able to look at most of the vids and provide analysis on them.

I thought I would upload some of my Zelda ditto replays for you all. I hope the quality doesn't make them unwatchable lol. I thought they had some interesting moments so I saved them.

The first color is me...

Marsulas, I have been able to watch Ankoku's, Rion's, Mikey's, some NinjaLink's, and SwastikaPyle's videos. Would you rather opinions be shared here or through a PM? Just let me know, and I will send over my opinions.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING ZELDAS!

It doesn't really matter to me, maybe posting them here would encourage some discussion on the vids?

I'll post up my opinions tonight or tomorrow then. It should spark some discussion, and it should open some eyes to some good Zeldas.

My opinions:
Rion - I'm disappointed the matches were only 2 stock but different regions and different rules. Both games you came out with a fairly aggressive offense with enough evasion to get an early lead, but it seemed you got on the strict defensive after that until almost the end of the match. I think you played a tough opponent well, but I would've like to see a few more SH LK and Dtilt usage (there wasn't any).

I think these were pretty nice videos to learn from. You don't see many Bowsers or Ganon's (at least in my area) so the odd match-up plus tough opponent has me leaning towards keeping these.

SwastikaPyle - These were definitely sub-par videos. The first one was simply awful (the one on FD). The third one is missing part of the match.

If we were to keep one for the Luigi match-up, I would keep the last one (the other FD match). Pyle started to focus a lot more on his spacing, combos, and defensive air game. In all the others, he was relying on dashing in with dash attack as an approach with no regard for spacing at all. Also, you abused the c-stick and never mixed in any tilts at all. The last one seems like it could be kept but the others are not good.

Mikey Lenetia - These videos are keepers. Mikey has great control of his Zelda and is a good Zelda (unfortunately, we lost him to the Peach crowd aka Dark Side). I recommend any one to watch them.

Mocha - Another good Zelda that I wish the videos were newer (and that he was still playing). He retired, but he used to place in the top 5 with his Zelda. A grounded and more defensive Zelda (my opinion) and is a pleasure to watch. I honestly don't know which videos are keepers or not, but I believe you can probably weed out a few. I have watched them all but I can't remember which ones I liked or disliked.

Ankoku - I was severely disappointed with this one. I can sum it up in 4 words. Spot dodge down smash. It really seems like that is all he did (I know he did more, but that was like watching a ROB play...). If the IC's were not screwing up the combos and infinites constantly I would be in favor of these because it would be the way you could keep them away from you, but there were several times that he wasn't using the stage to his advantage and was merely benefiting from poor IC play. I would say keep one IC vid but that's it. Really, it is bad when he switches to Sheik to get the kill because he can't finish them off with Zelda... and Zelda never has that problem.

Naks
against Marth - Great spike at the end. The marth is not that great (where is the assault of fairs?) but Naks plays a solid game. Keeper.
against ZSS - Good match showing how to use her armor against and hold stock (great 2nd life). Keeper
against G&W - Keeper. Any study material against our worst match-up is generally good study material.

NinjaLink -
Against Samus - Keeper. It was just a friendly, but you won't find many good videos against a Samus. Boss is not a Samus main, but he is a great smasher.
D1 is a good smasher along with Slikvik, Rykoshet and Rookie. The two vs "???" (I guess they didn't tell him their name) are entertaining to watch and have some great moments (first kill on both characters). I think, in general, NinjaLink's videos are good reference guides. You can probably weed them down a little bit if we have a bunch of the same match-up, but these are good matches to watch in general.

I have not gotten to watch any of the DarkMusician vidz yet, but I am looking forward to it as I just downloaded them today. I hope my input helps.

Thanks Bandit, you don't know how appreciated you are.

Specifically watch all of DM's set against PC Chris...........one of the most enjoyable and epic sets Brawl has seen to this date. The last match is just a classic.

I've watched all of these vids and I agree a lot of them are subpar(even Ankoku will tell you his Zelda is horrible), I just tried to get vids up on the first page for a while.

Once these are all weeded out we will only have the best of the best on the first page.

Also everyone start giving opinions for the best video so we can create some sort of Hall-of-Fame.

Hey guys!! Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been going through a crisis.

Anyway. I just stumbled on to this page and I was like "Whoa!! Some of my vids are up here, but they're all so old!!" But then I watched them again and I was like "Oh sweet I can't remember how fun and hard those games were!!" Those guys are good players too, players like Sudai (R.O.B.), Nick (D3), and Cyphus (DK). They're the best in Louisiana with those characters too. Definitely keep all of them if you have to. I also have some against GW and one against Marth too. The GW's are my most recent ones.

Thanks to Marsulas and Red Bandit specifically for the props. You guys made me feel special. Yeah I have indeed retired, but I do like to check up on things from time to time. Especially here cuz I can do stuff to help you guys out. Lemme know what's up.

Hee, losing me to the Dark Side. That's a good one! XD

Aw, thank you so much. That means a lot for me to hear. I'll try to pop in every now and again, since I do enjoy using Zelda a bit here and there. Sure, Peach is my main character, but yeah. I'm just glad my videos were a good watch for you, though there's no doubt much better Zeldas around. ^_^

@Snakeee

I hope to see the vids soon.

@Mocha

Good stuff on the contributions, and you are welcome for the kind words. My style of play is similar to yours, so it was great to see it doing so well. I hope you stop by and keep contributing. Even if you are retired, I'm sure you can help out some of us active Zeldas (or come out of retirement... ;))

@Mikey

Heh, it is great to hear from you. Definitely a pleasure to watch your Zelda in action. Hopefully, we'll see some more of your Zelda when you put down the floatress. Feel free to stop in anytime.

@Marsulas

I am checking out the PC Chris matches as I type this.......
