Zelda (SSBM): Difference between revisions
Re-added a portion that got deleted (once again). Updated information is important. I added her notorious matchup against icies, and remade the part about rienne. Since shes the only person to actually push Zelda, she needs a spot on this page. I also made a statement about questioning her placement as a solo character, since the Zelda discord (600 members) are taking it into account. And tbh, it has to be acknowledged.
IceHoneyTea (talk | contribs) (Remade the part that got deleted (again). It is crucial to document any MAJOR win in a stream, or not. (especially against the best ganondorf in the world). Since she is the only Zelda known to acheive this. Do not remove.) |

Although Zelda may possess a few small niches against some high-tier characters, such as her lightning kicks that can KO unaware opponents, most of them are difficult to land and these same characters can work around them and easily retaliate with their own vastly superior and consistent movesets, such as {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}. While Zelda’s low weight may be beneficial in hindering opposing combos, her large hurtbox makes it easier for other top-tiers to set up comboes on her, requiring her to achieve multiple successful reads to hold equal footing against the majority of the cast. | Although Zelda may possess a few small niches against some high-tier characters, such as her lightning kicks that can KO unaware opponents, most of them are difficult to land and these same characters can work around them and easily retaliate with their own vastly superior and consistent movesets, such as {{SSBM|Fox}} and {{SSBM|Jigglypuff}}.

On the good side, Zelda has been a notoriously good matchup against a few higher tier characters, such as Ice-Climbers. Since her powerful moves are able to separate and kill the two very easily, this puts Zelda in a favorable position the majority of the time. | |||
The rest of the matchup list is still unclear. Since the best Ganondorf in the world got defeated by a Zelda, this win brings up questioning about her current placement as a solo character. Although some opinions may be biased, Zelda is still very poorly discovered; since so far, the only evidence of optimization made yet is still under development. For now, only time will tell if she still truly belongs at the very end of the bottom tier. | |||

This puts Zelda in a spot where she is undervalued by most the the community, wich hinders any kind of discoveries with the character. Many of her notable players, such as {{Sm|Narcissa}} and {{Sm|Magus}}, have since retired or stopped playing Zelda entirely. Those who continue to solo main her, such as {{Sm|The Lake}}, have become rather inactive and suffer from worsening tournament placements as other top-tier characters continue to have their metas being pushed. One of the only notable Zelda player that has been recently pushing her development, is Rienne; by creating a tech-related guide for Zelda called [https://www.profaneto.me/ The Profane Tome]. | ||
