I know all too well how janky the Hylian Shield can be, haha.

Great finds, man. Looks like it does fall in line with the rest of the what I found. Mega Man's lemons are probably the least hitstun out of all projectiles for being a jab and all which doesn't even combo into itself if you're Link standing will continue to passive the other two lemons.

I've been doing some research on the Hylian Shield VS Perfect Shielding, here's my findings. Part 1: Smaller projectiles (Gfy: http://gfycat.com/AmbitiousGreedyBear ) • So it turns out, Perfect Shielding smaller projectiles gives the method an advantage seeing as how the Hylian Shield has to...

Well I suppose it's time I post this up. • Digital Press Tournament, NJ back in June 2015: http://challonge.com/digitalpressreal 110 Players single elimination (was changed from double) 1st Place Further proof: http://i.imgur.com/Mqd8odc.jpg (My handle is Kintuse nowadays rather than sticking...

Those of you who are wondering "will it be fixed/patched?" It already was nerfed once before. That's right, it was even stronger before the 1.0.2/4 patch. Before you could hold the stick down diagonally backwards and jab cancel away at your own pace locking them for quite a while even at early...

For those people wondering why us Link mains haven't discovered this yet; we already did last year. It's a secret to everyone.

Your NNID, dude~ Let's hear it! That or you can add myself, haha. It's; Kintuse

Jab locks are no more from what I can tell in my time in the lab. They have a pop up otg (off the ground). Arrows still lock after a split second charge, otherwise they can roll away when hit. When locked though its a distance away so our options to follow up are limited to running grabs, bombs...

I have to respectfully disagree with you there, I've been finding arrows very useful against characters who are sent off stage and perfect for shutting down characters who use their second jump prematurely if you hit them as they use it, effectively forcing them to use their Up-b more earlier...

I'm surprised pivot Fsmash isn't in the Advanced techniques list. I love the OP much thus far. For the smash to come out instead of ftilt the stick must rest for a split second then smash while pivoting. I do enjoy how jab canceling can be done now by holding either down-right or down-left on...

Yes, exactly. Short hopping into d-throw is very much possible now and even if shielded, the bomb is still in play because it doesn't explode when it touches the ground from that height during a soft landing, leading to some an absurd amount of options for you to try and mix up your game. •...

All this is from the demo, but anywho- • So this is gonna sound strange, but Link's D-air has two sweetspots. One for the meteor and another that's extremely difficult to land, but sends an opponent upwards instead of downward. Doesn't seem worth it though as I've only seen it kill at roughly...

That's a big ole nope. Project M yes, but not brawl itself in it's vanilla state.

So I found this out while playing against Mega Man. Link will still auto-block projectiles with his shield even if he's walking (not running) at full speed. pellets be damned.

It's good to be home. Glad to see the training weights come off now.
