    Why Link needs to be nerfed

    Before I say anything else I want to say thank you for talking to me like an adult and genuinely trying to inform me instead of steamrolling me. That being said I am aware of literally everything you just said. But for one I'd take Roy or chroms jab over links since it can set up combos. And I'm...

    Why Link needs to be nerfed

    What are you even talking about at this point? So many other swordies have a quicker jab. Young link has a rapid jab. And even up b is faster. And I'm saying MAYBE. Besides we are talking about a game that has 75 characters and Samus and dark Samus. And as far as run speed there are multiple...

    Why Link needs to be nerfed

    Now that I did not know lol I was trying to think up something off the top of my head and I appreciate you letting me know. I'm still learning. This is my first smash game but it doesn't relate to bomb detonation which is what we even been talking about. The game developers try to stick as...

    Why Link needs to be nerfed

    Wow you are a master of over simplification. I'm not really sure where you got the idea that I wanted link as fast as young link or to do a wholesale change to the character. Go back and read my comment. I said his JAB and possibly up his run speed a bit. Nothing major. And the arrows bombs and...

    Why Link needs to be nerfed

    Well for one, comparing Young link to botw link is like comparing ganon to captain falcon. They have completely different play styles are trying to accomplish very different goals. Two, link has a pretty bad disadvantage state. A quicker get off me tool and a little more mobility will help that...

    Why Link needs to be nerfed

    Lol I think we are having two different conversations. I agree with everything you're saying and there is always that threat but all I was saying was messing with the bomb is not going to help link. It will make his good matchups better and not really help the bad ones. (Aside from item combos...

    Why Link needs to be nerfed

    I'm speaking in general terms and more so once you get into high percents. It just creates more options on both sides as apposed to a 50/50 and I agree I even have said it multiple times on this site that his frame data is the real problem. My only point was it really only benefits link to do...

    Why Link needs to be nerfed

    I'm aware that you can detonate on the first frame and opponent grabs it. 1 frame. The bomb itself takes 14 frames to detonate and only stays active for 2. Meaning that one frame is a nice buffer but not exactly reachable or game breaking like being able to detonate at any point would be. I...

    Random Thought #2: Why aren't item based actions tied to only the grab button instead of the attack button?

    For one you would eliminate a lot of the mind games with bomb imo like I said. Plus with things as is you still have frame 1 z drop I'm pretty sure so out of shield jump izac Nair has an active hitbox on frame 4. Then there's the fact that at kill percents the bomb does enough hit stun to true...

    Random Thought #2: Why aren't item based actions tied to only the grab button instead of the attack button?

    I just flat out misunderstood. I thought you meant getting rid of the mechanic all together. At work reading too fast lol I get what you mean now Wait so you mean being able to hold the bomb indefinitely? And only releasing it with grab? That's insanely broken. And the function goes both ways...

    Random Thought #2: Why aren't item based actions tied to only the grab button instead of the attack button?

    IDK I prefer it as is with link. That way when you get in that playing catch mode with your opponent you can re grab the bomb with stuff like Nair while also covering your landing a bit. Also I do agree it would be sort of broken if you could do grounded attacks like smashes. since bomb...

    What’s your Secondary and why?

    For me it's Roy. Link and him seem to have good synergy. I struggle with fast small characters and Roy helps a lot with those mu

    Why Link needs to be nerfed

    Lol IDK I kinda like not being able to detonate. It gives them a reason to grab it and then takes away a lot of their moves til they drop it

    Why Link needs to be nerfed

    IDK I feel link needs buffs lol his frame data is trash and it's really hard to deal with fast characters at times. I personally don't think he's anywhere near top tier. He's flashy and fun but even one big Nerf could make him unplayable imo I'd like to see his jab get buffed a frame or two and...

    Link’s objective in neutral and follow ups?

    Bro I watched some of frenchtutor and he's unreal. His highlights are so next level. He edgeguarded a ganon by b reversing off the ledge bouncing the bomb off it and hitting the opponent straight in the chest for the kill. And I love that he smack talks the whole time haha
