What the FUCK just happened? Someone PLEASE explain to me what just happened!
Ness’s FSmash has a few active frames where it can reflect projectiles
reflected projectiles have increased damage and speed
so link shot the fully charged arrow, ness reflected it with FSmash, doc reflected it with cape, which reflected back on ness’s still active FSmash frames, reflected on doc’s cape AGAIN and then ONE MORE TIME on Ness’ Fmash, leading to 140% death arrow with a hitbox so stretched that it hit both of them
it will never cease to delight me that in the trilogy, gimli is shown to be charming, with all the polish and grace of a trained diplomat—he trades wits with elrond and speaks so graciously to galadriel that she gives him a gift denied feanor; his extemporaneous description of the glittering caves is what convinces legolas to travel there with him after the war, he sings the song of durin so well that sam begs to learn it.
whereas legolas is this big cheerful lug of a hunter-tracker, incidentally a prince, only unwittingly beautiful and graceful—his speech is decidedly stiff and formal, even when he’s trying to be gentle, but then turns around and starts singing without realizing he’s forgotten half the song. He has strange moments of seriousness, when the ancientness of him shines through, but then—
I do wonder what their first conversations were, gimli dignified but a little chilly; legolas stiff even as he attempted humor, but a way forward nonetheless.
