    So...I lost to a TL in tournament yesterday...

    Dangit I live in SA. I need to start going to tournies so I can get *****.

    Link is totally outclassed by TL

    The man is absolutely right, we should stop comparing similar characters for fun and switch to characters we already talk about all the time.

    Shda

    Really it comes to trial an error. Make sure you have either L or R set to jump so you can shorthop with your thumb on B (Unless you're fast, it's possible to SHDA with X&Y as the jump) and fire away. If you zoom in on TL in training you'll note after you fire in air when he's coming down from a...

    Lobos in action! A Video Thread *Update 11/26/08*

    The thing I really like about your TL is you go on these crazy sprees where you're spacing and projectile game are near flawless. I only watched two so far but there are a couple times where a boomerang comes back while you Zair and then bow cancel and SHDA and nair and they all hit somehow...

    Why isn't Toon Link higher on Tier Lists with almost NO disadvantages?

    Because tiers are a vicious cycle. Here's how it works: TL is unpopular, so not many people play as him, so he doesn't get many points, so people think he's bad. However, nobody will wake up and go "Wow! TL is amazing, but underplayed! I'm going to main him now!" when they could do the same with...

    Whats this?!??!? Santi has tourney videos?!?! :O

    Man that is sexy. Love use of Zair. My only advice is to maybe use grabs more, and use the boomerang only when needed. In the first he was attacking close range and you threw a boomerange, presumably as a deterrent on the way back, but you could've just smacked him from that close.

    I need some advise VS MK

    One thing I do with MK and heavy approaching characters in general is keep my DI facing them when on the defensive, because you have more options. Your Zair will get them off you pretty quickly, and I love holding a bomb, SHing backwards, and then when they start flailing at me dropping the...

    Looking for sub-main for Toon Link

    Yeah, DK would be the choice there. Aside from the fct that DK destroys MK, he and TL are really fun to play consecutively because while TL is small, floaty, long ranged, and has limited killing potential, DK is a huge, hulking, close range monster who kills anyone over 80% like they were...

    Shrink's Latest Tourney Videos (got 2nd place)

    Your use of floatyness was brilliant as well. I was really impressed at the end when you approached with the fair and drifted back away from the counter. Great stuff.

    Olimar Q&A

    I'm already decent at super-armoring with his downB. I was playing an Ike in 4 player who had his side smash fully charged really close to me, used the super armor and when I didn't die he totally freaked out. I love His grabs. Is there any specific situation I should use his blue backthrow...

    Olimar Q&A

    Yeah, not really MK, snake is who I'd use oli against. Though, when I've played some MK's with Olimar I've had better results than with my usual Toon Link. Plus olimar is insanely fun.

    Olimar Q&A

    I'm going to be picking up Olimar as a secondary so I can use him against MK, and I have a few questions I don't feel are worth making a new thread over. (You don't have to provide links, I heart the search button) What AT's are important to playing Olimar? What moves should be used frequently...

    Which is better: Toon Link or Link?

    but the problem with that is a faster link that can recover better is basically toon link.
  14. AvantGarde

    whos the best toon link

    where did you find it? I searched youtube but they were all months old

    My friend requested I put these up.

    It's mostly the newbies that do stuff like that.
