Does anyone know how Link when out of that spinning state at 2:09? When a character is in that state, they can't use their aerial dodge. Since Link uses the aerial dodge to help get his hookshot closer to the stage, it is a valuable asset to this recovery. It's important for him to have that aerial dodge, but when a character is smashed away they almost always go into that spinning state. I can't figure out how to cancel it without using any type of aerial attack, but Aniki just did it.
Aniki isn't flashy (except when he does his bomb/boomerang/dair combo), but his spacing is incredibly precise. He knows how far away he needs to be to punish Fox for reflecting projectiles, and he also consistently lands just a bit too far away for Fox to shield grab him (believe me, a lot of Link's moves are really easy to shield grab) while still within range to hit Fox with just about anything.
@3ntertainer This. I used to think that I was the really good at melee because I manage to beat people around my neighborhood and in some small local tournaments but man, this is just intense, my main used to be Link (and sometimes Fox) and I was never this good ;--;
@jman733 It was something Link did, albeit unintentionally. At 3:00, Link throws a boomerang, and when you throw a boomerang, it always comes back to Link. Then Link did his Up+B, which would have clearly sent Fox back a considerable distance, but the returning boomerang cancelled Fox's knockback. Look at Fox's damage, and you'll see it increase from 103% to 106% because Fox got hit by the boomerang. Not a glitch. It's just that the returning boomerang has set knockback.
@jman733 no, link threw the boomerang first, then he did the spin attack, and when fox is in the air the boomerang returned and hit fox, that's why fox didn't die
link v fox is probably the hardest match up there is. I would know. My best friends main is Fox and my main is Link. It took me like two months of practicing on 64 smash before I got to the level where I can beat him pretty much every time. Then we started playing melee. Now I lose every time again. which is bullshit. Fox really is too fast, at least for how strong his moves are, and the amount of recovery he has is simply unacceptable.
i know how he feels though i main link and a lot of people i know main fox and hes a royal pain in the ass to defeat. he has so many move that can blind side link its really annoying and links delays are deadly against foxes. (ie spin attack )
That's because Fox is the cheapest character you could play with in Super Smash Brothers Melee, he's rediculously fast. But then again I'm not one of those guys who plays SSBM every waking moment of my life, thus getting extremely good at a videogame, so naturally I don't stand a chance.
nah, shield grabbing with link or samus isnt very good because their grab takes too long to perform, especially against a fox player, shield grabbing wouldnt help him
actually, it's more the perspective that aniki doesn't use it because the delay is too large and fox can get free killer usmash or combos off a missed grab. Link's shieldgrab isn't really slow, and samus's is super slow. Links is slow to reel in just like samus's grapple in that respect.
one question you know when aniki gets hit after doing his midair jump and then tumbles? how does he recover so fast. like prevent himself from tumbling faster than normal?
Ummm... Could you give me a time? Hard to understand what you mean. My guess though is he either: teched the hit, didn't fast fall, recovered by jamming the joystick right and left, or DI'd.
If your character starts tumbling after getting hit in the air, move your joystick left and right, back and forth... that usually cuts out the tumbling action and cuts straight to the recovered "neutral character in the air" frame.
He uses spotdodging better cause he doesnt wavedash, which is good in my opinion, it makes him unique and he can focus more on the general picture of playing instead of Wavedashing, shffling and whatnot but Ive seen him wavedash a few times, once was a super wavedash with samus
Yeah Aniki does seem to start off slightly losing then he starts owning. I also like how he hardly ever wavedashes, I think that makes him really unique and shows that wavedashing isnt neccessary, only useful.
he didnt switch hes the best in the world with bost characters jesus dont type something f u dont know it pros dont switch characters they just have secondary characters to counterpick god dammit ur dumb
Yes he did switch to Samus. But he's insane with Samus. Link and Samus are very similar characters. He's almost as good with Samus as he is with Link, and I think with a little time he'll be even better.
did Aniki realy switch to samus becuase if he did that sucks i wont have anyone to learn from :( Aniki's videos taught me how to use link hope he uses him in brawl
At 3:02 after Rain got hit by Aniki's attack, I thought he teched off of thin air. Then I a split second later I realised it was just Link's bomberang that cought him. It was tripy for a second or two.
another stupid japanese fox , can any one tell to the japanese fox that YOU NEED TO SHUFFLE A LOT WITH FOX and that the LASER OF FOX ITS WORTHLESS only the falco its useful
