Smash Ace
Hello everyone, I`ll take this chance of doing a link guide from smash 64 since I haven`t seen one in this room, so I`ll try my best to make it a good guide and hope you like it.
About the techniques for ssb64, I`ll be mentioning some of them on the attacks telling you when to use them, so don`t worry to much about them.
Perhaps link has a terrible recovery but that doesn`t mean you shouldn`t choose him, link is a great character for his attacks, and also not that good grab but having the boomerang around, everything will be o.k.

1.attacks
a.tilts and dash
AAA: a very good attack that you can use against someone that`s near a wall and not letting him go, but that`s cheating, shame of you if you do this
Utilt: this is the best tilt that links gots, it’s a good attack for using it for combos, it also helps you to protect yourself against rolls, so this is one of the attacks you should use often.
Ftilt: it does good damage but it isn`t that good, it will sometimes come in handy and sometimes it won`t, you can use like when someone is running towards you or you can use Utilt and then Ftilt.
Dtilt: I would consider this tilt the worst cause it doesn`t got good recovery and besides, I recommend you to use the boomerang instead of Dtilt.
Dash attack: this a great attack that you should use often, you can combine this by using the boomerang and then the DA.
b.B attacks
Boomerang: this is the best special attack that link has, I recommend you to use this the most and master it, it helps you too to combine it with attacks like grabs, spin attacks, Fsmash and a dash attack.
There 2 ways to throw this, by doing forward b (like when you do a smash attack) and you`ll throw it far, so it`s more recommended to to throw far than just pressing B, which you don`t throw it far, but sometimes there will be times where you`ll have to throw it by pressing just B, in this case, just do it when someone is running towards you.
Spin attack: a great attack, bad recovery, so try to be careful while recovering and don`t let anyone k.o. you by doing you a dair while coming back to the stage, if you are in the edgehog and someone wants to hit you so he can keep you out of the stage, let go of the edge, jump and do the spin attack to keep him away from hitting you.
It can also be a surprising attack, so that`s another choice to use it, another way is to help you to finish a combo of your own, and of course you can combine it with a boomerang like the com does, and there other many ways to use it, so be using it sometimes.
Bombs: I actually use it like to k.o. someone like this way, I take a bomb-jump-throw the bomb to someone below me-the bomb hits-and I do a dair or a uair.
This just a way of how using it, it`s not necessary for me to tell how to use it cause you should how to use it already.
another way you can use it is by bombing some one with high porcent and shorthop with a fair, this is the one that mooseproduce told me
c.smash attacks
Fsmash: it only helps to damage someone or k.o. someone, you can combine it with a boomerang or use a Utilt and if you raise him do the smash attack, you can also use it when someone is running towards you.
Usmash: a great smash you can use to raise someone and combo him.
Dsmash: the best smash attack the link has, it is recommend it to use this more then the other smash attacks cause it`s very useful against rolls.
d.Aerials
Uair: it helps when some is falling from above you and to k.o. of course
Dair: it`s no necessary for me to explain when to use this, it`s affective and you better z cancel if do this
Bair: when you use this, if it`s possible you can use a bair again
Fair: it doesn`t only do damge, it will also help as a recovery sometimes
Nair: not that great aerial, and the worst, I don`t recommend you to use it.
2.grabs
the grab isn`t that great so it is more recommended to combine it with the boomerang if your going to use this, so there shouldn`t be no problem with the throws
3.combos
the only combo I know is use a Usmash, then use many times Utilts as possible, and to finish the combo, you can use the Ftilt, Fsmash, D smash, or the spin attack.
this is the combo that mooseproduce said: bomb some one and shorthop with a fair and z cancel (you have more chance to do it on high porcents, and there`s another way of using bombs)
If you have a combo for link, you post it this thread, I would appreciated, so I`ll remember you that the utilts work great to do combos, DON`T FORGET IT.
4.edgegaurding
it`s not big deal, just use the smash attacks or the spin attack, the spin attack works great
5.trying to survive and not getting k.o.d fast
since link has a bad recovery, your opponent will take advantage of it and also throws are effective against link, so by not letting yourself get grabed and thrown out of the stage, I tell you that hops work great against grabs, also other attacks like utilt, boomerang and the spin attack (use the SA only when your opponent has high porcent, oh and careful with the rolls, I forgot to mention that on the spin attack).
And while recovering, don`t always end hanging on the edgehog, try getting back to the stage to by not hanging into the edgehog when it`s necessary.
Alright, that`s everything, if you think I`m forgetting something or if I need to add something then just post it in this thread, well hope it`s useful.
