That is impressive. Though half of the time, I was watching Link in your signature dance to the background music. XD
AGT down. AGT up to catch it. Ledge grab. Ledge hop AGT catch onto stage.
It's not staple by any means. It's never necessary lol. Just an option.
Thanks Empty. I really appreciate it man.
Yeah, I definitely figured that out when I was practicing it in Training Mode for recovery...
Hmm....really? Okay, I'll start training with that in mind.
I figured you would have, but when giving advice I'd rather not assume just in case as I could potentially be giving useful information.
The only times I use it other than stalling out invincibility is when I'm recovering high and they jump out to get my so I AGT downwards to avoid them, then re-catch AGT forwards and throw the bomb up at them, just kind of vary it a bit. I wouldn't suggest anyone do the trick, I just do it because it lets me know my tech skill is on point and I enjoy doing it/confusing my opponent with it. I also condition my opponent and get free stuff sometimes because they expect me to catch the bomb again after I grab the ledge and get on the stage with it, and instead I just let the bomb fall and invincibile ledgedash and get a free dash attack or grab.
I've been playing with double AGT for the same purpose of checking to see if my tech skill is up to par. I have fidgety days where I can't even seem to do simple stuff, and on other days I exceed my own expectations at times.
Ah okay, I usually just practice everything on FD but I'll try that. The fast-fall is the thing that usually gets me during matches when I have to recover from a bit of ways, and I am a victim of doing it often, any tips for that? Honestly though, there is a timing for the AGT for when you get the most distance, I have figured that much out, but to me it can't be too late nor too early. To go along with the AGT I have been doing very well with SHAGing and it is something I look to try in a actual match.
I really want to try and go to that, but then again I really want to start small for my competitive debut so I might just wait for a good local tournament to show up and attend that.
That is true. But my real issue with going to this is transportation. Romulus is a bit of a ways from where I am. That said, I still have time between to figure things out and further polish up Link to least win a few matches there.
Yeah, probably. I guess we'll just have to wait and find out. Would be great if he's been practicing PM though.
Well I like to just call it double agt. You can actually tripple agt or even quad agt if you make use of his downward momentum toss.
its not easy but amazing if you pull it off successfully and a real hype-generator :D
That actually sounds pretty bossy. I've had the bomb get knocked out of the air a few times, so that seems safer.dunno if it was mentioned in this thread already, but at 8:44 of the vid you use the AGT to recover by hitting your own bomb and then be able to do another up-b (u didnt extra mention it)..
I saw this doing some other players too, however...
I dont think its really usefull because links recovery with the AGT and tether is soo good that, if you still have your double jump, you can recover almost from everywhere.. so its a little wast to waste the doublejump for that risky move, BUT..
theres a much better way to recover if you have nothing left and are far away offstage (you could maybe implement it into your startpost if you want): you pull a bomb as soon as possible after you got knocked out, without fastfalling(!), z-drop the bomb, fastfall for a very short time, up-b into it, (DI it into the right direction) and up-b again to recover!
there is a chance that the bomb will just be pushed away by your sword, but i think the same chance is there if you do the other strat, the chance of it happening tho is even lower with this strat because the bomb is closer to link and you can hit it more often with your sword before it eventually flies off... the shorter the fastfall is, the higher the chance of it working!
hope you like my little trick
That's just a standard bomb jump recovery, it's essential when you need to recover from the depths and when AGT isn't enough to get you back. Haven't heard of your method before though, i'll have to try that out. Though it sounds like it doesn't work near the bottom of the stage since it relies on fast falling and you'll hit the bottom of the stage first where as with bomb recover it flings you up and away from death.dunno if it was mentioned in this thread already, but at 8:44 of the vid you use the AGT to recover by hitting your own bomb and then be able to do another up-b (u didnt extra mention it)..
