Yes; it's like in Brawl except bombs have shorter fuses.

Maybe i said it wrong. I mean, like melee.

There is an exemple https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNrI1O9zqIk

The bomb doesn't react to hitting it with your sword but if you time the explosion with th UpB you can perform a Bomb Recovery.

Might have to test out some of the other options besides Up B. Thanks for that video btw.

The bomb has a short enough fuse now.

 

[Ieven]

I tried, but i can't perform it :/. Any tips ?

 

[Jade_Rock55]

OK get hit off stage,pull out a bomb without fast falling(if you do you'll fall to fast to live), midair jump,spin attack,wait for bomb to explode,spin attack after getting hit.

 

[Ieven]

Thanks ! I will try.

For anyone who's interested I watched some high level Smash 4 play last night on FOW's Twitch stream. He did a best to 5 against a really strong Brawl Link named Scizor (not familiar w/ him since I never followed Brawl's competitive scene).

Regardless his Link was easily the best I've seen yet so I think a lot of you would enjoy. http://www.twitch.tv/1fow1/b/571787575 The match starts at around 08:04:55 (8 hrs 4 mins 55 secs).

Also if any of you are interested in seeing how good FOW is he beat both Zero and Nairo in a best to 10 with his Ness. 05:23:30 for Zero and 06:40:00 for Nairo. He might be the most talented player so far in terms of Smash 4 streamers. Definitely give him a follow if you're into watching high level play the guy deserves it.

He started out so strong too. Good stuff. Thanks for the share.

Any of you guys feel like sharing ligit combo ideas for Link? I've managed to land a few Nair> jab> dthrow> double Bair combos. Trying to think of a name for it even if it's not necessary lol. DarkDeity combo? Lolnah. I might post something else if I can think of something that might work.

 

[MagmarFire]

Bomb Dthrow > Nair > Jab (x2?) > Dsmash, perhaps? I can see it working in theory.

And if it does, I demand royalties every time it's performed.

 

[Ryu_Ken]

Bomb throw> Usmash
100% flawless at low-mid% and can lead into follow ups.

2x Bomb throw > Uair/Spin Attack
This combo works at high% if the opponent is in the air (very situational). Can KO.

These just came to me from the top of my head since I use them a lot in my matches.

what are you guys using as out of shield options? upB OoS seems kinda slow and not that powerful, and it has terrible cooldown

Bombs, bombs and more bombs. You could also try to zair out of shield.

Not to mention the reach is significantly shorter. I'm guessing it's supposed to be a move for reads. It's a great kill move if you charge it. Custom electric spin attack might suit your needs better, and charging it can get you ridiculous results, minus a little more endlag. Also, I really like dsmash OoS. Tilts and Usmash OoS are great too.

 

[Elessar]

I use bombs OoS. THis is specially useful with meteor bombs since they have no knockback, so you hit them and they stay there stunned which opens a plethora of options for following this combo starter.
