Never thought about how links slowdown is his champion ability but it makes so much sense
Oh yeah. You could even bullshit it to be his courage that let's him face the enemy head on, or something
I believe even BOTW mentions it being his champion ability somewhere
I believe zeltik or whatever their name was theorized this long ago, but no matter who it was I've been a supporter of the theory ever since. I love how meta knight basically did a year's work of theorizing in 5 minutes
It is not, since Urbossa is able to do it too...
@@superfire2030 i think you mean when she parried the Yiga footsoldier's attack, but when she does that it's just s slow mo shot. Maybe she is able to slow down time in general due to her lightning fast reflexes but link slows time _around him,_ himself not included.
I love MetaKnight's total lack of reaction to Link's health regeneration. Just a cold, silent acceptance of how unfair the whole thing is.
It is unfair due to link cheating with the apples which are labeled as a super smash bros item in this supposed no items match
@4shadow100 why are they items? Link can brings infinite swords and arrows, peach can use turnips and bombs, while hero can heal, and robin has multiple books, plus Mario's cape and fluid, not to mention pokemon trainers pokemon, and the swords everyone has a sword so why are apples considered contraband as items?
@PbnjGuy I single out apples because they're clearly classified as one of the food items in the smash bros games since melee. Items that aren't in super smash bros games in my interpretation can't be categorized as an item according to smash bros and characters like mr game and watch who can spawn an item with an existing smash bros moveset is allowed too.
@@PbnjGuy There's a difference between inventory equipment that fighters come with and ITEMS, that appear on stage as drops. The latter is contraband. Link isn't exactly supposed to have access to all of his menu abilities as a Smash fighter.
then again this isn't Smash Ultimate Link, this is Breath of the Wild any% Speedrun Link.
@@PbnjGuy and diddy kong banana is a literal item and he can have that
let link have his healthy snacks
I don't know why but seeing Link get every weapon broken before having to cycle to the next one is just really satisfying Animation.
@@weirdyoutubechannelsomg cookies
I had to slow it down to x.25 speed to watch it, yeah it was really fun animating.
The fact that he was using them so much that he broke them that quickly is pretty funny
Agreed
Because is fluid as it can be! And that's amazing
4:32 in case anyone is wondering how Link’s receiving so little damage, it’s because he’s in his ragdoll state
huh.
@@Gefdragoon think of it as a semi invincibility mode where he receives little damage after taking a big hit
@@jaleelwhite9903 ok but the only thing that can damage him when he's ragdolled is fall damage, so he shouldn't have taken any damage at all.
He was falling on the blade
That Makes Sense
The absolute funniest thing ever said in this series is MK's silence at 5:01 after Link engorged himself on 88 apples
So it's more the funniest thing NOT said
Pretty sure that those were actually tomatoes, which makes it even funnier!
@@SoaringEagle128No they were apples, apples are very easy to obtain early in BoTW and I don’t even think that tomatoes are in BoTW
@@turtlefalcon5546 yeah, tomatoes weren’t introduced until Tears of the Kingdom came out.
From where you’re standing, it must look like a x99 apple streak of bad luck. But the truth is, the credits have been rolling from the start…
Interesting...
Holly S*** was that a fallout new Vegas refference
Discord?
Speedrunner Courier confirmed ?
Something about fallout: new vegas?
I love how him losing one heart was a way of wordlessly saying “this is the first time he’s fought an opponent strong enough to actually touch him.”
Link moves at the speed of light, of course it took a powerful opponent to even breathe in his general direction
@@PottoTf2 Yes, therefore it shows that Brawl Meta Knight is a formidable opponent.
Well Brawl Meta Knight can basically also bend spacetime, comparing his frame data with every other character in the game shows that
Nah, he gets damaged alot in speedruns
You have no idea how badly I was hoping throughout the entire thing it would come down to link pausing the game and eating something.
Thank you.
I honestly was expecting to hear "Mipha's Grace is ready"
My first guess was a fairy
@@LunarBloodRose27 considering he somehow had a Lightscale Trident, I wouldn't be shocked either.
I expected a fairy, but this was much better.
@@General_C That's not the only weapon Link has that he wouldn't in a speedrun, he's also got a Savage Lynel Sword, not to mention after he breaks all his weapons, he magically has an axe when he uses Statis on MK.
And Statis is another thing. in Link's speedrun, he doesn't go to Hateno and upgrade Statis, but here we are, seeing Statis+ in action. Really, the whole fight is extremely unfair, with the LITERAL 88 apples he had.
And I'm not joking about the magical axe.
Edit: He. Has. Majoras. Mask. Why?
Is no one gonna talk about how Link is apparently carrying 20 times his body weight
just about every video game does that, doesn’t it?
@@jicao Well, in some Paper Mario Games for example the Item Inventory is limited to like 12 Slots for one single Item each, Link has like Tons of Items and for each he has its own slot that he can stack up to 999, not many have the ability to carry THAT much, only Steve could Challenge him with that thanks to the Shulk Chests you can craft from the Shulks from the End City
Link wearing Iron Boots: Slowed down
Link with Iron Boots put away: *Not* slowed down
Link has always been inhuman in some way, in nearly any incarnation.
@@Chris-gx1ei I'm pretty sure the Terrarian has that beat because you can stack 9999 golden thrones in each inventory slot, which is pretty heavy tbh
@@jackthorndyke3390the terrarian is a human with the godly modifier
I respect metaknight for not spamming macho tornado immediately. Truly a man of honor
Macho tornado?
@@dio3471 neutral b it eats shields
@@dio3471 the b neutral move for brawl metaknight is “max tornado”. Guy prob was doing a joke or made a mistake writing
@@luckysayshmm Mach Tornado, turns out
@@luckysayshmm its mach tornado probably he had a autocorretor issue
Link only needed to eat 5.99 apples to fully heal, but he decided to eat 88 of them just to flex on him LOL
You say he only needed to eat 11.99 apples eh?
Well, take note of how many he had and how many he had left :P
@@ultimajoe777 I am proud of you for noticing that
@@zer0mar322 With a keen eye for details, one truth prevails! :D
Don't apples heal half a heart? Or am I misremembering things
@@mrgreenboy644 uhhh, crud, you're right
I love that this is actually how both of the characters would react if they meet each other, they just literally go straight into fighting, Meta for his competitive instinct and Link for his anxiety of finishing a fight in less that 3 seconds
Keep in mind this is link with no armor, three hearts and no food buffs. It's frightening to think about how powerful link would be with fully upgraded gear and powerful weapons
lmao the 100% speedrun iteration of speedrunner link
He wouldn't be a speedrunner at that point
Combat montage Link however... Well, not much is going to survive firestorm rush and even less against weapon modifier corruption
@@equinox-XVI100% speed run bud :/
Unless they were doing a 100% completion speedrun? I don't know if that's a thing but I just wanted to put it out there.
@@anamethatishort yeah smallant made a really good video on it, it sucks that terminalmontage didnt update link's speedrunner abilities because a lot more tech came about, like the windbomb
I love how Meta just instantly gave up after watching Link fully heal. No swordplay can outmatch hyper healing.
He could have, in theory, repeated the fight had he not gave up. We dont really know the limits of his endurance, so I'm guessing he could have indeed just continued fighting. To Meta Knight, however, it looked as if Link just couldn't die. He didn't know he only had 11 apples left.
Speedrunner link wins because accessing his inventory pauses time, simple as
The axe also got regenerated so...
Speaking of the apples, 11 would be full health, but he ate the other 88 instead. Massive flex if I ever saw one
No boss can ever compete against heroes possessing the ability to pause all of reality to hyper-consume health restoring items.
They all complain about the bosses with multiple lifebars and Latin Lyrics in their second+ phase, but never the hero who effectively has several hundred lifebars!
I like that getting smacked into the floor makes Link lose a full heart, but it takes, like, over a hundred sword slashes to do half a heart of damage.
I feel like it's a testament to just how weak Metaknight's sword slashes are. Like, yeah, he's S tier cause of how fast and maneuverable he is, but he barely has any high damage attacks. And Link dodged all of them lol
@@MajestDick He isn't s tier, though... he's SS tier.
@@BenjaminAnderson21 mistyped
He gets more durable the less health he has
Fall damage is no joke
I like the subtle touch of Metaknight using Uairs to momentum cancel knockback and survive for longer. Though he definitely would have tripped if he tried dash-dancing like at the beginning.
I love how Speedrunner Link intentionally isn't geared up. Has basic weapons, if a good stockpile of them, and only three hearts. He's constantly on the defense for the whole battle, until he can get a nasty trick like his stasis in.
"basic weapons"
Has mostly mid to end game weapons
@@justaeagle7383 He has a few but that's cus he speedran
@@justaeagle7383 Aint nothing mid or end game about a woodcutters and double axe
@@dhans9662 k what about the lightscale trident he has?
@@techy804 In Tears of the Kingdom I would've said thats endgame because of how hard it is to get a lightscale trident, but in BOTW you got one for free by just completing Vah Ruta
I like that neither of them are villains in this one.
None of them of are villains so far!
@@madmanmax120 i think speedrunner Mario was a villain (a very cool one)
@@maurissergio8282 Mario wasn't actualy a Villain, he was possesed by the Speed Demon
@@grahamkaiser4059 yeah, speedrunner link might be possessed by speed demon as well, if we were to think that metaknight's final words are to be creditable.
No they are both villains that YOU should fear
I actually laughed so hard when Link paused and just ate all those apples.
I was hoping for extra health/attack/stamina boss smasher link.
I was expecting him to pause _before_ hitting 0hp.
THAT!
EIGHTY WHEELS OF CHEESE
I was waiting for it the whole time, knowing that would be his secret weapon 😂
This fight made me notice something. Speed runners are more powerful than broken fighter characters in the TMU. First speed runner Mario beats Melee Fox. Now Speedrunner link beats Brawl Meta Knight. Now I’m wondering what happens if 2 speed runners fought
The universe would either break or explode.
@@MasterJunior93 my money is on the universe imploding
We saw Sonic vs. Speedrunner Mario, didn't we?
@@Kayriel
Yea but Sonic wasn’t a speed runner near Mario’s Level (at the time). Sonic only had 1 video, while Mario had like 5 TM videos while sonic has only had 1 by that point I think.
@@Kayrielthe thing is Mario was a tas level speedruner so he was on a different power level
I love the amount of creativity you guys put in these videos. They are waaaaaaaaay too good. I love how metaknight is like “he’s manipulating time!!!” When he just opens his inventory. Too cool.
You know something's wrong when Brawl Metaknight is the one fighting fair
You're right, he should have abused of his upair instead
537 likes and only 1 comment? let me fix that
Chilivery
Bro Link was fighting fair, he only used the items that he currently had, and the flurry rushes he can just do. Like, Metaknight was flying, and Link hadn't done the moonjump glitch so he couldn't, and even if he wasn't fighting fair he was speedrunning Metaknight!
lol
I love how this video connects so directly to the ending of the Kirbys dream Buffet video and we were just left to speculate for literal months.
Heh heh thats pretty funny if you ask me!
it’s funny because this means after the dream buffet video, meta knight was forced(?) to get back into shape and train for this fight
@@thedoodguy I WATCH TERMINAL MONTAGE FOR THE LORE...
@@thedoodguy
This very scenario is hilarious to think about
The gods forced him to get back into fighting condition
Damn how long was meta knight being held to lose so much weight?
With Tears of the Kingdom out, I feel like Link might now play a pivotal role in taking down Bird Up. With the Fuse ability, Link could make an arrow or weapon capable of breaking their crystalline power source, and with their Ultrahand ability, they could help prevent the original problem of the ships breaking.
Combined with their stasis powers, they could help keep Bird Up in place to prevent them from dodging like speedrunner Mario could.
Truly if link tried he'd durability swap a weapon with a fairy to essentially get invincibility like in totk speedruns
I like how it’s very clear Meta Knight knows a lot about breath of the wild.
I love that this video canonizes the bullet time in a way that makes sense by using the champion ability theory! Amazing work by Terminal montage as always.
Of course.
Link's Courage
The hero of time everyone.
Epic headcanon now
I also say this that this logic of meta knight concluded and specified that its link's natural ability is a foreshadow to a future link cameos
4:17 I love this detail of Link using the Lightscale Trident. It's canonically one of the most durable/unbreakable weapons in the entirety of Breath of the Wild.
I feel like the reason Terminal hasn't made a Kirbo versus someone yet is because of how much of an absolute beast he would be
Kirbo has the power of god
@@thesticknodesgamer2784 and poyo
It depends who's fighting
Even lore accurate kirby is already too much for most of the roster. For example, kirby walked into a black hole and destroyed it. Like it was the most casual thing to do.
I think the only character that would actually put up a fight is fox
For those wondering what the wingdings said, the text above link and meta knight were "returning to world", the one next to link said "continue monitoring", the log title is "speedrunner capability" and the log stated "Time-manipulation in ancestry; Uncategorised in DNA and soul. Reality suspending "pause" potential. BotW Case File shows wall clipping and master of physics."
This definitely isn't something of note.
Speedrunner Demons are still at large...
i was hoping someone spoke Wingdings in the comment before i did the research myself.
Oh you forgot the "ancient curse
energy" in between Uncategorised* and *in DNA
Anyhow this is interesting, to say the least
Totally and absolutely not important for anything. Thank you for this absolutely not notable information
When did they show up. I can't find them
The best part of this something versus for me is how the light in Meta knights eyes completely vanish after Link eats his apples. His soul was shattered
His internal thoughts must have been JonTrons's "Excuse me whaaaaaaaaat"
Well exuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse me
He had that: are you fucking kidding me? Face
Wanted Meta to win but link had the power of god and apples on his side, he never stood a chance
Link cheated which made meta knight upset. I'd be upset too if only one character was allowed to use items in super smash bros, which in this case were the apples that do appear as one of the numerous food items
I love how Link is beautifully animated when pulling out his double sided axe and then he just has a little goofy face.
My daughters were so invested in this fight, links comeback made them cheer but during MetaKnights final smash they were so worried because they wanted link to win. Then link paused and that just made them laugh so hard. We watched this 10 more times. Thanks for the laughs Terminalmontage!
"That look in your eyes," and it's just Link's minimalistic dumb stare 😂 I love this version of Link so much
Same thing happened with the King of Hyrule, only we got to hear Link's thoughts, which was just demonic screaming.
@@briarmason8737 link was never the same after he was almost killed from being squished by the giant gameboy
"(•_･)"
_--Link_
It's also a reference to the same line the King says in the "Something about" video for breath of the wild.
"That, that look in your eyes"
* camera zooming in on link's face while hearing a distorted screaming *
Remember he used to have primal screams.
...he's more focused
For thoses wondering what the wingdings at the end mean
When he looks at Speedrunner Link:
Speedrunner Capability Time-Manipulation in ancestry; uncategorized "ancient curse energy" detected in DNA and Soul.
Reality suspending "Pause" potential.
BotW Case File shows wall clipping and master of physics.
Returning to World
Continue Monitoring..
When turning to Meta knight it is repeated:
Returning to world
Remember guys; the more likes this has, the less you'll have to scroll down to see it.
I was about to go type out the alphabet in Wingdings as a cipher, but then I decided to see if anyone cracked it in the comments section first. Thank goodness I did. That's a good few minutes saved.
I was looking for this comment lol
Just exactly what I was looking for, thanks!!!
The ancient curse energy is a reference to Demise’s curse yes?
Yeah, let's be honest. BotW Link is a killing machine. The ability to slow down time when he focuses, Stasis allowing to freeze his enemies in place, can pause time and eat to recover his hearts, Link is one deadly Hylian. Even more deadly with glitches like Thunderclap Rush.
hero of time
in case your wondering, the wingdings at the end credits showing on top of both of them means: "Returning to world" and the panel on link's report titles: speedrunner capability
Cool
The Metaknight dashdance at the beginning is so unrealistic.
He would have tripped at least twice (Oh Brawl, what a gem)
But that’s why he’s op. The fact he didn’t trip
@@kaiuche8640 🙏🤣
@@kaiuche8640 Metaknight wasn't as unreasonable OP as he is made out to be. The reason behind his strength is essentially the same as ICs. His risk of tripping is reduced because of how his gameplay develops. Look at the metaknight games, in brawl, and you will notice that metaknight almost only touches the ground to recover his jumps, staying in the air most of the time, reducing his chance of tripping to almost 0. ICs seldom run, and will just look for that grab after a read, taking their chance of tripping close to 0 too.
If tripping wasn't a thing in Brawl, I would belive both characters would have had a lot of even matchups across the board.
@@steffanwiche5386 I think @Kai Uche was making something called a joke, which I'm surprised you don't understand, seeing as you look in a mirror possibly everyday, or at least see your reflection
@@steffanwiche5386 I mean, the fact that his method of gameplay still avoids one of Brawl's biggest weaknesses is just a factor of WHY he's OP, rather than a defense for why he's not. Plus if I recall right he had way more air control/movement than anyone else, and his attacks came out quicker and were more combo-able than just about anyone else, so he definitely had a lot of advantages over basically anyone else. You're right though that if they removed tripping it'd probably be decently more even.
I like how he specifically never has the other Champion abilities because he never went to grab them, so Mipha's grace or Daruk's Protection never procs
What is proc short for
@@mr.blueguy7648 Procedure, apparently
@@mr.blueguy7648 AKA to be triggered
Given the context of how it's used vs "official" definitions, I'm pretty sure it's not short for anything. Something tells me it's just some computer slang people came up with because it sounded appropriate for what they were trying to describe and it just stuck.
As far as I can tell, to proc something means to meet the requirements to trigger something. And something being procked is the act of the "something" being triggered.
I can't find any words proc could be short for that actually matches these definitions, which is why I'm sure it's made up, but it's widely understood within gaming communities (RPGs especially), so no harm no foul right? 😅
@@Kurayamiblack processsing maybe
At 2:10 when that scene plays it gives me goosebumps every time because it reminds me when I played the original Smash and Brawl years ago
If this Link was fully equipped, it wouldn't even be fair. His armor would probably randomly blink from one set to another mid-fight
The fact that meta knight didn’t trip at the beginning has me baffled.the amount of dashes done in that dash dance was insane. Odds are 1 in a million
That’s why he is S tier.
It is due to the blessing that Sakurai gave him.
Was about to say.
I felt a little lack of Anime link
I was expecting a trip too, but I will admit was also expecting another vision of Sakurai when there was starlight in the background.
4:09 has some really good detail here. Every weapon being used up and broken as it wears off, the slashes and strikes being very accurate to the chaos happening. This resonates a very satisfying feel that I think not many people can do in fast-paced animations. It's such a charm.
Yeah that was my favorite scene
It gived me chills
If you look, you can see meta knight cover with his cape before Link shoots him in bullet time, teleporting away to get behind Link when his stamina is down, and to avoid damage. A perfect touch.
“You cannot be a Pokémon Master without learning to how to spam Full Restores” Link studied his lesson.
What's interesting to note here is how Meta knight, while not winning the battle, did technically beat him in terms of pure fighting. Link simply was able to outlast him bc he learned how to carry things from minecraft steve
Not true actually! Link didn’t even need to heal in the end, as he just froze Metaknight and killed him regardless without taking another hit in the end. Only difference healing made is Link winning with full health or a sliver of health. Healing at the end was just showing how Metaknight never really stood a chance to begin with I think lol Plus Link had Majora’s Mask in his inventory
@@Random1567 It looked to me like he was only able to freeze mk due to mk mentally checking out and giving up after witnessing that massive heal lol
@@thesteelsquid863 I don’t think Metaknight would’ve accepted defeat the way he did if he lost only because he dropped his guard due to shock, and dodging didn’t help last time Link used it after Link got serious anyway. And again, Link had the Majora’s Mask item in his inventory the whole time
@@Random1567 metaknight was definitely in shock from the heal. you can see it before link freezes him because he stares in complete disbelief. remember that link used the pause menu to access his inventory. meaning from metaknights perspective, link literally went from having 0.01% health to being fully healed on the same frame he sat up. so to metaknight, that only makes link seem invincible because link seemingly appears to insta-heal once he hits peril because the concept of a pause menu inventory doesnt exist to him. if metaknight was aware of this however, he definitely wouldve kept going knowing link would eventually run out of healing items. lastly as a side note, thats the botw majoras mask, not the majoras mask version of that mask. all the botw version does is disable aggro on sight.
@@Random1567 Meta Knight only lost because he surrendered. MK himself knew that he couldn't beat someone whose champion ability is literal local time manipulation. If Link didn't pull that trick, MK would've 100% won.
I was expecting Link to hit zero health then get revived by a fairy. But eating a ton of apples in an instant is far more hilarious.
I was about to argue that Mipha’s Grace would trigger first, but then I remembered Link never bothered to rescue her first
Fairies could be considered outside help, right?
i also was expecting a fairy
@@ethantillman3023 no, its a item
Los speedrunners no usa hadas, eso demora demasiado
Kozy has one of the most satisfying voices I've ever heard. Someone give him a gig as a major villain in some anime.
1:35 I was so ready for him to trip 😂
4:15 if you slow down the video you can notice link has different attacking animations with each different weapon. Such hard work put into this video.
you dont actually need to slow it down to see the difference, at least with the lance
It's wonderful details like this that make me love animations even more.
I Love Them All So Much
The Spear/Trident one is probably My Favorite
Nice details
Imagine how funny it would be if he didnt animate the different animations and instead just made him continuously bash them in the head with each weapon
The way you incorporated the game mechanics into Link's fighting style is without a doubt my favorite detail. His portrayal as a defensive fighter who relied on flurry rushing, but also still had the limitations of breakable weapons, a stamina meter, the inventory screen, etc. I think those details edge this fight slightly over the previous Something Versus for me, and I'm excited to see what's next.
it really is all in the attention to detail
tho Brawl Meta Knight was able to dash dance that much without tripping in the beginning; I cry inaccuracies.
@@doodle4503 ayo but he momentum cancelled with those up airs which is a nice touch to include brawl exclusive tech hahaha
I wanna give some 👏👏👏 applause to the narrator for that almost imperceptible pause between words when saying their names, and saying "Brawl" in exactly the same with both "Brawl Meta Knight" and "Brawl tier, yet the rest of the dialogue is spoken fluidly. Damn crisp annunciation on that whole deal.
And yes, seeing all of Link's weapons break one by one was a *splendid* touch, as were the scratches on Meta Knight's mask. 👨🍳👌
the animation on meta knight at 3:40 takes me out every time. it conveys the emotion so well but looks so damn funny and cute 😂
Seeing the end sequence put into context of the last expedition following a speedrunner class character in this series, i get the feeling the galactic force is testing characters to see who's infected with another Speed Demon.
Maybe they're looking for powerful fighters to help aid them against another threat
@@leaf_of_the_wind , maybe actually? After how far the gang got last time, itd be no surprise if they realized they could use some help.
Not to mention, it sounds like theres more than two out there.
That would mean next would be an assist trophy battle: Guile VS ??????.
When is frontiers speedrunner sonic?
“Speedrunner class” as if they’re SCPs
The way his cape clips through link at 4:04 is just *Chef’s Kiss*
You can see the smash knowledge is over the roof with this one
Truly a work of art
One of the best fight scenes I’ve ever witnessed, no jokes or sarcasm, it’s just that good! Also it’s a crossover between two of my favorite game series
"T-that look in his eyes...!"
Of course, because you brought him to his last bit of hp. You awakened the hidden potential that all gamers have, but one that very few can use more than for a brief few moments... the power of 10000x reflexes, accuracy, intelligence, power, and the ability to will luck to do their bidding.
Bro just defined every gamer at 1hp
We know how to manipulate luck
@MAXNAVS3 most gamers don't have the skill or instincts to use it properly
Well, we just use all of that to panic
3:00 One of my favorite little details is whenever Mario, Fox, or Meta Knight get a close up, they get a very anime style on them, but when it’s Link’s turn, he doesn’t and seeing a close up of his putty hands is kinda super funny
4:00
@@ilovecats4526well it was just once you know?
link is just too good
@@ilovecats4526 oh yeah forgot about that timestamp
5:01 I like how Meta Knight has no reaction to Link getting back up, just accepts his defeat once launched beyond the KO Zone.
And of course Link would do his signature "Well excuuuuuuuuuuuuse me, princess!"
Of course. Meta knight is a knight and therefore has honor. But unlike a knight with a stick up the ass to hold-up the spine, he understands the enemy can and will use anything they have to win. Even gluttony.
I need that blank, buff-ass Meta Knight image framed.
He understood that Link can put up a fight
Bro just gave up
meta knight went “oh god not another 5 hours of this” and just let himself get defeated
Metaknight: “that look in his eyes!”
Link: 👁️👄👁️
So that's where meta knight went after Something About Kirby's Dream Buffet.
Love the fact that link's pause to eat actually pause the whole universe as he calmly get those apples
It's so funny to me, the most broken ability is his pause menu 😂
time to do... DUPING!
Za Warudo was always horribly overpowered.
Now I want to see this Link vs the Dovakin. They both have that ability, as well as being able to switch equipment, and use weird magic on a whim (though link uses his Sheika cell phone to do it).
I picked up a a basket that weighs 600 pounds. Let me just eat the basket now to fix the problem
4:15 to 4:24 Watching Link actually dodge, counter, and switch weapons so smoothly without it being a bunch of random movements is so satisfying to watch.
I just went through that whole sequence frame by frame (, and . keys) and by god you're right. It's very impressive!!
Literally beautiful
The real hero is you for the time stamps ❤
Its my favorite part
And his weapons slowly get destroyed then swapped
The post credits scene, if im understanding it right, implies some interesting things about the speed demon. Both times its manifested (with Mario and with Guile) its been as the direct result of glitches, while Sonic and Speedrunner Link are free of its corruption. Perhaps the Speed Demon isn't just s manifestation of speed, but rather of GLITCHED speed; Speedrunner Marios speed comes from BLJs, which were an unintended mechanic, and Guiles from the grab glitch. Meanwhile, Sonic is just that fast, and Speedrunner Link isnt using glitches as much as he is taking advantage of his natural time manipulation powers from being a Champion, and occasionally using them in unexpected ways to gain momentum (shield bounce flight)
i love how the most consistent through lines in all of Terminals smash videos is that all the links are repulsed by wavedashing
Your animations have always been both epic and hilarious at the same time. Seeing another fight animation just goes to show that Terminal wants to give the fans the entertainment they would love to watch.
I first found him with something about yoshi island
I'm so hyped
it says you replied 15 hours ago excuse me wtf

bruh i just spent an hour doing this lmao, should have checked the comments first 💀but yeah i got the same thing as you so i can confirm this is correct
Mega underrated comment
Thank you for translating
For real thanks!
the true hero of this event
GOSH this animation makes me so happy. Metaknight is my all time fave kirby character and THE WAY YOU COMBINE THE FINAL SMASHES, LIKE, THE IDEA THAT THE ENTIRE TIME HE'S BEEN DOING THE ULTIMATE FINAL SMASH UNDER THE CAPE IS SUCH A COOL CONCEPT AND I LOVE IT DESPERATELY????
I haven't played BotW personally but LMAO LINK IS GREAT IN THIS TOO AND LIKE your Something Vs. episodes are so good thank you so much Terminal!!! For all these awesome animations!!!! Looking forward to your next project!!
This is a classic. I watch this every time I see it because it’s a masterpiece.
1:45 J love how metaknight just stands there like “Get up, I shall not fight a defenseless opponent.” Until Link tries to freeze him.
Such is the way of the fair knight, to fight a opponent in equal conditions
Mega Knight is a fair fighter, even in his series
Bro said “pick it up🐺💀”
I really love this shot, because it makes Meta Knight look genuinely menacing despite being in a TerminalMontage video
@@the_doug_digital get yo ass up so I can beat it down again
The entire sequence from 4:09 to 4:22 was expertly done, had to rewatch it frame by frame. the detail is amazing, with link attacking/blocking in different styles depending on his weapon as each breaks from the onslaught is absolute perfection.
You can also see his facial expressions change with every weapon that breaks, show him being calm, angry, frustrated, and worried as they break one by one
And the fact that he uses a different fighting style as each weapon bites the dust.
0.25 speed works too, and the music into some sludge Daft Punk jam.
699th 👍
oh my god I didn't even realize that's what was going on
2:32 bro really crawled through the butrcrack of reality
The Something series is known for its simplistic, cartoony art style, but that should by no means be considered a limitation. Just that bit at 4:14 where link is fighting back at lightning speed, causing all of his weapons to break over time is so detailed and satisfying, and it all happens so fast that you can barely keep up!
It's not just the weapons breaking over time but look at the constant change of expression on Link's face as he's running out of weapon options as well!
As well as animating the different ways to use the weapons!!
Having a simple art style means less effort goes to animation each frame. Which means high action shots like this are more sustainable.
Isn't this pretty much why Terminal went with this kind of style?
I like how in the last one they both had Japanese dubs, but in this one Link just screams. Absolutely masterful portrayal of Link's character!
Haaaaaaa!!!!!
I’d really, really want to see a Something About DMC video sometime. It would be cool to have a Speedrunner Dante who just spams stinger throughout the entire game.
Vergil: Foolishness, Dante, foolishne-
Dante: proceeds to drop kick him off of Temen-ni-gru and directly into hell
We need more of these they animations are always to fun To watch again and again
This is legitimately better than many anime fights.
* There's a back & forth dynamic of each fighter using their own style and attempting to adjust to their enemies.
* There's tension as Link has to perfectly use his champion abilities and runs out of weapons trying to stop Meta Knight while Meta Knight tries to outspeed and outmaneuver Link: both running down to an endurance match.
* The actual sword-play goes hard
Thanks for another great video man!
Terminalmontage's fighting animations are always bangers
The way Meta Knight just pauses after Link heals is just hilarious.
That's the part that made me truly lose it rofl
Meta Knight: F@$k
Moai face 🗿
Hilarious while also still being in-character given Meta Knight's stoicism. He took his loss with dignity.
He just gave Up right then and there
you have no idea how much i was hoping for this thank you so much
I love the detail about momentum canceling from metaknight.
4:14 I love how you can see in Link's face that he's getting desperate after each weapon breaking
there's so much attention to detail in these animations
At 4:55, Link is shown to have an empty weapon inventory. Yet at 5:03, he suddenly has an axe. There's a bit of inconsistency, but the rest is cool.
@@nm5329 he found it behind the stage
@@nm5329 nah he just purposefully nerfed himself
@@KuroTrashed
Yeah, he had armor (head pieces) and extra shields (a Royal Shield, which has hella high durability) in his inventory that he didn't use in the actual fight.
Every day, we are closer to Speedrunner Mario VS Speedrunner Link
If that does happen I kind of want to see speedrunner link use the newer(ish) BLISS glitch
I thought Mario was exorcised from the Speed Demon?
Canonically, that is now an impossible fight. Speedrunner Mario lost his speed demon, and if he did have it, he'd still beat Speedrunner Link.
Honestly, I'd want brawl Meta Knight vs Melee Fox to happen.
Bird Up vs. Geno
Oh my gosh I adore this!! I had high hopes for Meta (I used to play as him ALL of the time in Smash Brothers) but my goodness, Link really came through and I never doubted he would pull off something even when he got down to his last heart!
This was an absolute masterpiece!
Link was going easy on him, he had Majora's Mask in his pocket the whole time.
Meta Knight was also holding back. He never used his neutral B.
Majora's Mask, the last resort when Link knows he can't win in his current state and needs a draw.
What about the fierce diety sword
This man worked so hard on this masterpiece of a 3 million sub special that he already almost got 4 million subs
yes
Yeah, I woulda waited 1 more day and released it as a 4 million sub special!
@@gabepesco Nah, now he has to do a 4 million sub special as well. So win/win for us :3
Link had one of the best bows in BOTW, being the Great Eagle Bow. He never used it once, and still won, proving how strong he is.
Well Basically. He knew just how to use some tools.
The use of the final smash is a really nice detail since Brawl is the game that introduced them in the first place
2:31 Seeing Brawl Meta Knight up air momentum cancel gives me life :)
Nice to see someone else get that reference
Ah thanks I was wondering where these UpAir came from.
so glad others caught this too!
Wingding Translation time! (Jeremey you are too good to me)

We NEED speedrunner Link vs speedrunner Mario
Decided to rewatch this and I just now realized that given the timeframe between the Dream Buffet's postcredits scene, The Kirbos had to work their meal off meanwhile MK instantly metabolized on the way over to the smash stage-- It took MK LESS time, thats so funny. The attention to detail in these animations are never lost and that's what makes them some of my favorite animations on the entire site. Also, the announcers saying MK is over 50,000 but the Serving Hands still handling him by his wings like one would hold a kitten by the nape of their neck had me chuckling before the action even started, it's too good!
I love how falling from 2 feet makes link lose one heart but a million attacks from meta knight only does a quarter
It's because he is in ragdoll
@@snowshadow6598 tru
@@jrpgplayer It's a concept called "Death by Thousand Cuts". Where you're not putting power into your attacks, but letting the sharpness of your blade and speed of your swing do widespread vascular damage/basically just flesh wounds to such a massive degree that you just fuckin' die from bloodloss, not from sheer damage.
@Kayriel but how link made, Ragdol makes him take less damage.
I thought Mipha’s Grace would’ve activated, but I forgot that he never went to the other domains.
He has Mipha's trident so no matter what Metal Knight did, he would've revived himself and gain several extra bonus hearts but just didn't do it either because he forgot or just wanted to flex
@@veriousshifter2930
It could be the Ceremonial Trident instead of the Lightscale Trident.
@@TheGhostInThePhoto I guess it makes sense because the usual speedrunners just go straight towards Hyrule castle. But imagine a 100% botw speedrunner vs Brawl Metal Knight
@@veriousshifter2930 That would be totally unfair. 100% speedrunner link is basically immortal (he gets 999 fairies using a glitch)
@@kuroninja90 yeah but It would be funny to see
I just love how Terminal montage teases his upcoming videos! In the Holiday special last year, we see the Waddle Dee’s playing a video game and we hear the Brawl battlefield theme, brawl Meta Knight and the Bomb Rune! I absolutely love it!
Kujo Jotaro Joestar: “I have one of the fastest stand and I can stop time, I’m the best!”
Link: “Hold my Apple.”
Metaknight and Link are both showing signs of being remarkably fast.
Geno's trying to find someone (or maybe a group) who can either fight the Speed Demon... or he's trying to figure out who's vulnerable to SD's influence like Mario was.
Here's hoping for a speedrunner link vs SD Mario (wink, wink)
I think he's more interested in Link's ability to slow, and even freeze time. If you can't go as fast as the enemy, slow them down.
I assume he, or more accurately the authority he works for, is monitoring multiple potential victims of SD to find and capture him before it is too late, hence why Link is being "monitored" while Metaknight is just returned. One could already be posessed, the other isn't.

So I would say it's the first one.
Probably the second one, as SD did say there were more and their main goal would be to capture.
The up-air knock-back cancel is the most hilarious thing, man. 😂
I adore it LOL
His DI is on point too
@@kwaku7226 always DI-ing to the corner as he should LMAO
@@dragoniota Hahaha
Meta knight litterally with no emotions left gave up after link eating apples. He was like "ok then, kill me"
I love that Meta Knight uses up air to cancel knockback, it's such a great detail! Just wish we got to see him abuse the busted tornado some.
I thought it was a neat addition that Metaknight gestures at Link in 1:50 to raise his weapon, which aligns with his game canon of waiting for you to pick up the sword before engaging in battle.
Honorable puffball has my respect, but not Link's it seems.
Link allowed Meta Knight to prove himself before basically turning on cheats. Link's obliged to, since they're not supposed to hold back, but if he just instantly used that ability, it'd be... well, lame.
Did you notice that Metaknight used his least laggy move, up-air, to leave tumble after being launched each time?
“Pick it up.”
