I play adult link because I can't think hard enough for kill setups so I need the one with more knockback to casually get kills with my normal approaches. Ylink and Tink feel great at the start of the match but I start to get a little frustrated when my opponent is at 300% and I still can't...

Mii Brawler because I didn't get to play him much last generation and he's really fun. My GSP with him is in the toilet though.

Do you incorporate self destruction kills into your playstyle? If so, how is that working out for you? My current setup is 3311. My neutral is exploding side kick. This isn't technically a suicide move but it's the best suicide move if you land one offstage. Admittedly I've never pulled this...

Bumping this question again because it never got answered. I assume no one's certain either way yet. But if no one has figured it out by now it's probably a no.

Haven't had the chance to play yet. Sorry if this has already been asked but are bombslides (aka Jump Cancel Throws, aka Jump Cancel Glide Toss) still a thing? That was a major part of my strategy in Sm4sh. I'll probably still play link if Ultimate regardless but it would really change my play...

Is there a word for the double tap method described 56 seconds in? I know it looks like a fox trot but a fox trot would have the same delay problem as a normal run. This tech seems like a really big deal but I've never seen it discussed outside this video. Also is this just a Ryu thing or can...

:4link: As a link main, I think Link wins the neutral but loses the overall matchup. Maybe I'm DIing it wrong but the Ding-Dong combo seems to be impossible for Link to escape. Shamelessly fishing for grabs is actually a legit strategy here. Just get him up to 80% and kill him off the top.

I don't know how many of you are redditors but there is a subreddit for Link Mains: https://www.reddit.com/r/linkmains It's not very active and anything of substance is actually just a link to this board. Still, I'd like to see it more active if any of you are interested. Also, Zero just...

I think the meta has advanced to the point that this conversation deserves serious revisiting. I got KOed at ~79% at a tournament this weekend thanks to cargo upthrow. I had an easy time racking up damage, but the stubborn ape lives forever. I feel like I'm racing to get him to 160-180% before...

This is what I'm afraid of. Our matchup with fox is so bad already, and Fox gains so much from perfect pivots.

How do fellow Link mains feel about bidou? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mH528Pdh1Rk Is it worth giving up soft thrown bombs to have more control over movement?

Learn the upward thrown bombslide in the AT thread. It's a great way to fake out an absorption heavy lucas. There's a video of how to do it in one of the Art of Link videos.

Pretty please with a sweetspot on top

The Ryu discussion is still locked. http://smashboards.com/threads/mu-here-comes-a-new-challenger.406420/#post-19427803 Anyone got advice on how to escape the infinite? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LvVNkMPOyM I only ran into it once and had trouble DIing out. Didn't try SDIing because I...
