    Meta Link's Metagame Thread (Informative Quotes Can Be Found in the OP)

    Room for Improvement. Link meta in March 2017 Hey hey. So I’m a pretty good to really good (depending on who you ask) Link player Khakis. Recently (due to a multitude of injuries) I’ve had an incredible amount of time on my hands and no ability to play smash myself. So I spent a lot of time...

    Meta Link's Metagame Thread (Informative Quotes Can Be Found in the OP)

    Has anyone explored any optimal ways to damage yourself with bombs? Similar to Ally's snake hurting himself in brawl to get out of chain grab percents if you take your opponents stock (like a DK or any character really centralized around a single kill setup) and see you're in kill-setup percent...

    EDIT: There may have been a calculator error that affected the results of this post. I don't have much time to investigate in the short term but i will eventually check my work to make sure that these %'s are correct Fox asked me this morning "how many more frames of extra hitstun does Bair 1...

    Meta Link's Metagame Thread (Informative Quotes Can Be Found in the OP)

    Stryker posted (from Scizor) percents where Late Nair (the one that does 6%) will cause tumble. This info is useful because you can convert with arrow locks or you can go for a dash attack that potentially seals the stock. The trick to making this a tight (hard to tech situation) is to hit them...

    Data Link Tournament Results Thread ~25th October~

    Got 5th at Smash Attack in NY. Went Link/Rosa/Lucina http://nextlevel.challonge.com/smashattack12proam It was a round robin tournament, with a pro and amateur brakcet. I went 3-2 in pools losing to Sinji (Best Pac-man in the world arguably) and Deven3k Rosalina, barely making it to the...

    Meta Link's Metagame Thread (Informative Quotes Can Be Found in the OP)

    So I'm not sure how common info this is but I've figured out a situational way to z-drop bombs at full hop height without having Zair come out (just like Brawl I think? idk didn't really play it) If you catch or pickup a bomb with a rising aerial button (i do not believe that this works with...

    [MU] Bowser Junior

    I play against some pretty good bowser juniors (Coontail and the ocassional Tweek). I think the matchup is pretty even but there is one really excellent edge-guard you should be doing as link in the matchup. If you force bowser jr to recover low ( a situation where he must up-b) you can gimp...

    Meta Link's Metagame Thread (Informative Quotes Can Be Found in the OP)

    I'm gonna try and test some of this later but I think throwing a boomerang against the stage would create a great situation. The windbox could screw with fox's recovery and put him in a situation where he has to eat a dair spike/stage spike. And if the fox airdodged or wall jumped or figured out...

    Meta Link's Metagame Thread (Informative Quotes Can Be Found in the OP)

    y'all might remember this video from way back. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pgSYA8QrviE Its about sliding pivots. Basically if you jump backwards and then perform a turnaround (a pivot) and hold forward you get a nice little slide animation. The lengths for each character are different but...

    Meta Link's Metagame Thread (Informative Quotes Can Be Found in the OP)

    I understand that DI is a factor and how deep or shallow you hit with the d-tilt is a factor as well. But its certainly still a setup worth going for, especially if you can cross them up and then get a d-tilt in to trick the DI. If you hit with the very tip of d-tilt and they DI out I wouldn't...

    Thanks for pointing me to it and thanks for putting in the lab-time, I've been Dying to know the actual percents where this works.

    [MU] Ryu

    Here are my thoughts on the Ryu Matchup. Beating Ryu is literally playing to not get touched. Link is generally a very poor defensive character, his out of shield options are minimal and his weight makes him combo food for literally the entire cast. Surely you know this as a Link player. But...

    Meta Link's Metagame Thread (Informative Quotes Can Be Found in the OP)

    I've been thinking about using below stage boomerang as a bait or as an anti-trump measure. It differs by stage but the idea is to get your opponent to recognize your ledge re-grab and try and time a guaranteed punish, like Fox D-smash, Sonic F-smash or even if they like waiting for a tilt it...

    Social Link checked the thread. Wow! This is a nice thread!

    So what stages do people pick in bracket? I pretty much always like Battlefield now even against chars that are said to do well on the stage like Fox and ZSS.
