"The Hylian Nightmare": A Link Combo Video by The GERM.

8000 · Aug 6, 2005

Can i ask how the neutral kick in the air is followed directly by a double back kick without landing? Is it just L-canceling? By the way the video rocks!! (nice music too)

Maelstrom · Aug 8, 2005

Exellent a forum for Germ's video..I had found the vid a week or two before I found this Forum. :laugh:

. Anyways..I was wondering how exactly do you recover. When I say this I mean how exactly does your Link jump and then attack right from the edge (without that recovery attack)? :laugh:

EDIT: What was the first Song called? :laugh:

It's can't be. If you try to L-Cancel in the air, you'll air dodge.

GERM, I was watching the video, and one thing stuck out at me. It seemed like when you started your combo, the people you were playing against just put the controller down and watched you demolish their character. And after you killed them, they would get a hit in on you. And tell me, how is it possible for you to have over 100% damage, then not get hit at all? These are just some things that stuck out at me, and struck me as odd.

I don't recall that being done in the video; I only remember The GERM doing a Double Kick (B-air) followed by a Hylian Kick (N-air). If you try to do that, I'm sure you'll be able to do the same.

He was Edge-Hopping. When hanging off an edge, press down and then quickly jump to get back onto the stage. It's a great way to attack from an edge-hang.

ya i know, when i posted this i thought l-calceling could be done in the air. Now i'm not a total loss. Sorry about that.

Ya..I figured that out..but I assumed it was something else too because when I do it Link only gets up some of the time. But thanks anyway :laugh:

O My F*****g God, That Was Awsome. I Hope To Be That Good Someday.

hammersmashedface · Aug 16, 2005

YoungLinkRox · Aug 17, 2005

Oh My GOD.

Germ, you rock!!! You are THE best Link player. I've watched it so many times and I still go WOW. I like to take pointers too :laugh:

By the way, nice hair. :dizzy:

I also like your NES controller tattoo. :chuckle:

gn0m · Aug 25, 2005

Well finally I have seen ur vid and I have to say that it was great. Really impressing combos. And yes, the tatoo was sweet to. -_-

Thought I've seen the vid many, many, many, months ago..Its the reason why I play Link today (not as a main but as a secondary at the least). This video along with the others from D.B.R. are truly inspiring vids. :laugh:

Shukudai · Aug 27, 2005

well, germ, in case you haven't had enough of the endless props, here's another big fat kudos for you from australia... ****in awesome vid man, i watch it at least once everyday, and i keep getting more and more ideas and inspiration from it. I thought linkology was pretty good but this blew me away. i'm the main link player in my region, and within a week of downloading the video i went from being evenly matched, to beating everyone with 3 lives remaining.

hope to see more stuff from you soon, keep up the good work.

p.s your edgeguarding/hogging/jumping is crazy!

The GERM · Aug 29, 2005

Hylian Nightmare 2 starting soon....

I just wanna say thanx to everyone who's ejonyed the video, it really means a lot to me and keeps me playing this game. I've gathered enough recent footage to make new ones, this time with actual tournament match combos, combos on players from out of state and other crews around Norcal, and against a wider variety of characters and stages. So I'ma start on Hylian Nightmare 2 very soon so be ready for that one....

Oh my gosh, you are the best GERM. The DBR videos are incredible, they are so entertaining. Now a video with recent Link owning is going to be nuts. We shall all wait patiently, thanks a lot for the videos by the way!

That's awesome news. Keep up the good work.

Sizzle · Aug 31, 2005

When you said it keeps you playing the game with everything people say, I bet it feels just as good to hear people saying I play Link now because of you or I picked Link up again. I know I did.

boogeyman · Sep 3, 2005

You've probably got enough props already, but here goes. Germ you have the best Link. Period. You actually got me to pick up Link next to my Ganondorf. I hope to one day be as good as you. I watch Hylian Nightmare all the time. You make Link look top tier. Can't wait till the next one comes out. Hopefully someday I can go down there and play against you and the rest of dbr.

ValiantDeftone · Sep 3, 2005

new to the board and boards in general. i've been playing Super Smash Bros. since the N64 days and i've always played as Link. I've fought alot of people over the years and have never gone against another Link. people always say Link is too slow and other characters can run circles around him. but they usually end up eating their words after they try to keep up with me. once i got into the message boards, i find out that im pretty much a noob compared to the stuff on here. amazing. GERM is truly a master at Link. amazing. major props.

Luigio · Sep 11, 2005

Wow. That was awesome.

That taught me much, thank you.

AngeloBangelo · Sep 15, 2005

Looking forward to the next vid. Is Clod going to be making one soon as well?

eugey · Sep 15, 2005

He already has one. It's "Death From Above"
There's also "Shined Blind" "Overdose" and "Pure Nastyness" (Fox, Doc, and Samus)

Sizzle · Sep 16, 2005

I think he meant a second one

AndyS. · Sep 28, 2005

Hey Germ,

I noticed a while back that you said you live 40 minutes from San Francisco. Does this happen to be the Marin/San Rafael/Santa Rosa area? I've been looking for somebody good to smash with, but there's no NorCal events.

Nice vids!

Liku · Oct 1, 2005

Man that hair and tattoo were sure hardcore! Being morbid's awesome. </sarcasm>

Awesome video though, holy ****.

iLLu5ioN · Oct 1, 2005

Hello Germ. I saw this video on MLGpro.com and it was amazing. I'm still trying to learn how to master link. Great job and you are a major inspiration.

Silent Wolf · Oct 1, 2005

That was the best video I have seen! You could beat me but from the looks of your freinds you didn't have much compitition. That was great though.

Take a look at some of his friends' matches and you will see how wrong you are. D.B.R is amazing my friend.

Tipo mastr · Oct 2, 2005

Hey, look guys, sorry GERM, but I don't think he's THE BEST LINK IN THE WORLD! Or the best SSBM player in the world. Keep in mind these were edited out from videos, and there were plenty of times when he got his a** *****. Again, sorry GERM, althouhg I know you are a REALLY good link player.

He is a Tournament player and he IS the best Link in the US.

Echo · Oct 2, 2005

Yeah, i've watched this Movie about 397 times, and every time i watch it, it makes me want to take up link completely, i always thought so low of Link before this vid. But, i cant expect anything less from another D.B.R. vid, they're all so god **** amazing lol. I've learned a couple things off of the Mike Nasty vid, as i play Samus, but thats besides the point....

Point is, the GERM is by FAR the greatest Link i've ever seen played, which goes out further than the U.S.

Great Vid, Hope to see more! ^^

ThePROMINENCE · Oct 3, 2005

I really enjoyed your vid GERM. I admire the freestyling method that you use in battle. Something that I find myself using alot. Although I do have my own strategies and techniuqes. Question though, do you have any tips on L- Canceling. THANKS......

Meteor Mario · Oct 3, 2005

My god, Germ you are an extreme talent in the smash world. I admire the way you play Link and it's alot of fun seeing your tactics come toghether.

Byakuya · Oct 4, 2005

After watching that video an hour ago, i'm still in shock..

TheBuzzSaw · Oct 4, 2005

Awesome job, GERM

I'm curious, GERM, do you ever play with Young Link? Ever? What is your opinion of Young Link? You clearly prefer big Link so I am very curious.

The video is awesome, dude. You really demonstrate some true skill all over the place. I remember talking about this video over on Zelda Universe's forum (www.zeldauniverse.net). Everyone on there was like, "Man this guy sux. He staged everything. His friends let him do combos. I could waste him." For a second, I was so confused. I was thinkin', "Either these guys are REALLY good or I REALLY suck. What's the deal?" Everyone kept agreein' with each other! "Yeah GERM sux. He is a noob. Blah blah blah..." Then I started pokin' through some user profiles. Yeah, they were all under the age of 15... They had nothin'...

GERM, you inspire me.

The GERM said:
I've been playing Link since day fu**ing 1, I've heard so much sh** from people over the last couple years telling me that Link is crap and that I should just pick up some high tier character so I can win tournaments, All I said to them was, "fu** you, let's fu**ing play right now and I'll show you how fast I can **** you." The point is, playing Link is an art, and getting really good doesn't come easy, so ever since I started playing this game back when I was a Lil' Amoeba, I've tried to help out as many Link players as I can, "rival" or not. Again, thanx to everyone who watched the vid, I hope you benefit from it in any way possible.QUOTE]

Well Said! You the best Link player(And melee player at that!) I've ever seen! I was at a tourny a few months ago and I heard somone say they regretted underestimating Link!

And also! Would anyone mind telling me what FC3 is? Im pretty sure its a tournament and since I can find any, I'd Like to know where.

_glook · Oct 8, 2005

First of all, GERM, thanks for the the awesome video. And it's awesome you're makin another one, can't wait!

Secondly, the DC++ hub is down for some unexplicable reason (or at least it looked like it). So I want Linkology so I went to google to try to get it. I can't go on. I have to wade through forums where guys are trying to say how he DBR vids are so "n00b" and how Link is "unimpressive" because he's only playing his friends and computer players and so forth... I can't do this anymore... I'm still shaking, it's so painful.

What I'm trying to ask is if anyone has a url to the video "Linkology" or if you know if the DC hub is not down. Thanks in advance.
EDIT: LOL, it's on DBR's official website. I feel like an idiot now. NM thanks anyway.

ZxC · Oct 11, 2005

One word, WOW!

How can you be that good with link, i mean... WDF!
