This
is from playing Super Smash Bros. Melee and deciding to try to learn to use
a sword the same way as Marth, who appears quite proficient. Roy is good
too, but I usually use Marth. I don't really know why. Maybe it's because
I've heard that he is hated world-wide. Anyhow, this is his B-side chain
(hold the control stick to the side and hit B repeatedly, and rhythmically
enough to not degenerate into mashing which will break the chain). Read the
moves from Right to Left, because he's moving left, so that's how I drew
it. Also, his salute, his 'taunt', his pose, and he says something in Japanese
which I have since learned is "Minna, miteite kure!" which is "Everybody,
look at me!" ^_^7 Gladly.EEEEEEEEEEEE!!! Link rules! The graphics are sooooo gorgeous... the cutscenes are no mere cutscenes, but almost as good as movies. Link's face is beautiful, and although I think his mouth looks a bit wierd, especially when he smiles, I'm not complaining. Also, new voice actor for him. All the moves are natural and fluid, especially the fighting. Link fights with his sword with grace and connectivity. Each move flows into the next naturally. As a wolf, all his actions are impulsive and quick, just like a real wolf (although sentient, of course) and the way he lunges at enemies and snaps at them, especially flying ones, is realistic too. It really inspires literary phrases such as "raging like wounded wolf" and so on in my head. Also, fishing is a bit fun, although I couldn't figure out how to strike at first. I like how Link carries the fishing rod around. Colin is the greatest little kid.
I also know now how to tie this in to my other stories. Blah. -_-7 Aren't you disgusted with me.
Link: Yep, but I can forgive you. Are you going to let Rana live or get reincarnated?
Eh, that will be a surprise.
Link: Darn.
I like the cat, too. Also the frogs. I didn't see them until I was a wolf, and then I thought - 'why am I targeting on the ground?' The scenery is very good, and is almost good enough to make me forget about 'areas' and 'walls' in 3D games. It all seems natural and real, and the forest is so beautiful! Also I like jumping through the treetops with giggling Midna's help. Aww... but I thought Midna was Zelda. I guess we don't get any Sheik this time, then. Well, 'tis a bit early to say! I only just approached the first dungeon yesterday! I didn't even get in yet!
Also, Epona is HUGE! She's a real warhorse!
Also I did watch P&P like I said I would. I've seen the Pemberley bit three times now, and the wedding four times. Mr. and Mrs. Gardiner are so nice.
And I didn't faint in church today! And the choir was pretty good today!
Oh, yes, I was going to put the dryad picture today. Well, I already wrote the words and scanned the Marth picture, so... you'll have to wait. I'll try to remember tomorrow.
