A topic about bombs, not about Link being top tier.

BEHOLD AND WORSHIP THE BOMB WAVEDASH

I recorded this on Mupen. Just watch it. I know Link sucks, but I couldn't help but love the sweet maneuvers he can initiate with Bombs (not to mention the fact L-canceling is broken in this game). In case you weren't aware, he can tech immediately after throwing Bombs downwards, which propels him backwards faster than his ordinary rolling dodge. You can do a subsitute forward waveland on the other hand by jumping forward, throwing the Bomb down and teching that. If he was holding a Bomb when knocked off the course, there is of course the possibility of a lucky Bomb recovery. And there is a really really fast (although situational) way of edgehogging if you can space yourself and DI properly, you can abuse the fact throwing Bombs downwards sends you backwards and barely nick the ledge so he slides off the stage and sweetspots.

Yeah, Bombs are awesome. =)

Oh come on! Has nobody been bored and experimented with Bombs?

IMO super fast ledgehog is win though.

For those who might have taken this seriously when I said Link is top tier, you missed the point. I made this just because Bombs are awesome and need to be loved. Link sucks horribly in actual gameplay, but regardless, I personally think that the applications of Bombs are largely overlooked, beyond of course throwing them and hoping for a lucky Bomb recovery. As I explained, Link can move actually pretty quickly and can ledgehog faster than any other character with Bombs.

By the way, you can't really do the Bomb ledgehog in Melee (obsoleted by wavedashing either way), but you CAN sorta do the Bomb techroll, but it isn't as effective in that game.

So if it has 0 effectiveness in SSB, you're saying it has < 0 effectiveness in SSBM? Thats some kind of math or science I can't comprehend.

Wow, you just read my statement in exactly the wrong way.

My point is Bombs can do neat stuff in 64, some of which can't be done in Melee.

Thanks for the vid, I actually never knew that. There's another trick with bombs where you can throw it in an angle. Credits to Dabomb for teaching me this. What you do is go to hyrule and go to any brown platform of the hyrule castle. Roll to the edge so you're next to falling off and then turn around so your facing the edge. Get out your bomb and lightly throw the bomb downwards so it'll go down at an angle and not hurt yourself. It's pretty nifty and you can spam them pretty fast :O.

it would have been easier to see that you were kidding if you were someone people actually know

also, if you wanted to post a topic about bombs you should have just made one about bombs instead of this ridiculous topic name

obviously it works with any item...but this is about link and plus, it's useful for link cause most people don't play item matches and link can pull out a bomb whenever he wants. So it can be done by everyother char who has items....but are useless to them and only useful to link.

Your previous post implied that you knew very little about the angle-throw-thingy. Sorry for trying to halp. Spaz.

Yeah but...your video was extremely pointless ^__^
Maybe one day I'll tack on 5% to do an edgehog I could easily do with a pivot --> short hop...
Just saying. We're aware that bombs are nice but like. It's nothing special.
