How would you enforce such a rule, especially when there are generally very few 1.0 disks? If somebody requests a 1.0 match, the players might have to wait a long time to find an available 1.0 disk.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for boomerang jumping and flame cancelling. I just don't see how it would be tournament-practical at all.

Just bring your own disc.
Not to mention, there were plenty of 1.0 copies at FC.
1.0 isn't rare, it's just less common than 1.2. But there's still plenty of copies of it.

Label your cube as 1.0 so people can quickly find a 1.0 setup. I did that at FC lol

For those of you that don't know... Axe's Young Link is the REAL deal... I'll upload videos soon... This char (in 1.0) should be higher than his current position...
Wow, seriously, it hurts your eyes to watch, but it's soooooooo pretty.. I'll upload today

you would have solidly two stocked hungrybox if you stopped forcing yourself to approach even when you're up. I'm not even saying to go camp the top platform. you got punished hard multiple times for going in when you didn't have to

Ledge hop arrow regrab or just ledge hop arrow?

*faints* ommggg <333 That means the world to me lol.
I'm sorry guys. I can't not approach lol.
But I know there's a lot of things I can improve on, and I LOVE this character :D I'll keep practicing

YL has a decent nair approach, but he was built to camp, not rush down opponents.
Bombs are his best friend.
Fraid you'll need to find a balance b/w camping and approaching Jeff. Save rushing opponents into submission for your Pika.

No camping for me

I hear ya, and it is more entertaining to watch you play aggro, but the easiest way for YL to kill Jiggs at lower percents is bomb -> dair.I think I can win without camping lol.

To hit with bombs you need to camp a little.
Hbox specializes in zoning out aggressive players, he's inept at getting past an opponent's zone.

HBox isn't inept, Puff is. She sucks at approaching.

According to HMW and Phil Puff's nair covers all of YL's options...

Axe, I notice you DD a ton. Ever incorporate the Moonwalk from DD cause it's ****.
And Grim, yeah. One of the better things he can do off of the ledge imo, and if it connects it leads to janky combos.

Apart from:
-CCC
-Run away, throw a bomb
-Shield, nair oos (not a guaranteed hit, but guaranteed pressure)

I do this sometimes but I think you're right, I should do it a lot more
Just made a thread trying to push 1.0 if any of you want to read/support my arguments (or argue against them lol):

So many additional options. It's a wonderful tool. I wish I could do it with the entire cast.I do this sometimes but I think you're right, I should do it a lot more

hey guys i am gonna resub to this thread cuz i just beat alan with pocket young link (i didnt even use young link, but the threat of ylink won me the set in counter picks) and i beat dar rell with young link lol
now that i am back, i would like to pose a question to all of u that i haven't been able to crack:
my most difficult matchups are sheik, fox, and falcon. however, it's not when they EVADE that i have trouble... it's when they shield.
question: how would i go about defeating a fox, falcon, or sheik that understands that they can just shield/light shield projectiles the whole game and i have no way to penetrate. what kind of shield stab technology does ylink have? are there safer ways to set up a grab other than just going for a hard read? is there legit shield pressure where ylink could actually cover all the options of escape?
assume they have the lead

Whenever my bombs hit a shield I often try to just catch them.
Afterward you can chuck it again or retreat and do something else.

I can't recover for crap with this character! Or maybe I'm too used to playing Samus...
Picked up Young Link for some fun on the side, I need help learning to recover or the mixups available to me.

You have Jash as one of your top players, and you still think there are YL tricks that haven't been tried and tested for TL?

i dont think that YL has any new tricks that haven't been discovered by Jash and/or others, lol

Still need help on recovery options. A few links to some good YL videos would suffice <3

TL has plenty of new tricks in Project M.

YL's recovery is definitely better in 1.0 and 1.1 lol. I'll say that

axe! your set with hbox was so good! dont be afraid to just jump and pull a bomb sometimes. i saw you kinda dash dancing on the ground a lot while holding a bomb. and you also threw a lot of horizontal rangs when you can throw angled ones, or even jump and throw angled ones up and down. change it up bro! i know you can beat hbox!
