Link semi-chain grab

[Onomanic]

I was messing around once while practicing as Link and I was just using his grabs, wondering, "Can Link chain grab?" Yes. Well sort of. By using the forward through a few times, you can do a semi chain grab (I call it a semi-chain grab because it only works to 21%(I think)). It's good for building damage and you don't have to move much because the Claw shot is long enough. It works better on middle weight class characters (e.g. Mario, Luigi people that about that size) but doesn't (strangely enough) work too well on heavies and small characters. But use at your own risk. As all Link players know, the Clawshot has a lot of lag on the ground if you miss and could be a fatal mistake if you miss. So be warned.

Link can chain grab a Wolf 3 times by throwing down

Yeah...

 

[Onomanic]

Oh really? The down throw? I never thought about the down throw....

 

[Swordplay]

Though I never tested it I wonder if he has a Release CG against anybody. They just found out Yoshi had one against wario...

oh? sounds interesting. i'll try the release CG. I suppose it would work with Link seeing how he has the Claw Shot goes pretty far.

 

[Onomanic]

yeah I tried I dont think it works. when ever I release, Sonic was in his normal stance. so i dont think it works.

 

[manhunter098]

Well you have to try it on more characters. Since every character has different escape properties when it comes to getting grabbed what happens for one character doesnt apply to all of them and vise verse.

 

[Onomanic]

ah yes. that would make sense. i dont have that much patience though lol

It can actually be a pretty good chain grab on Wolf if you grab out of your shield and if your opponent is stupid enough to come back to attack you after the knockback--you know, like a CPU.

 

[Onomanic]

ha! thats funny. although, I don't know many Wolf players but that's still pretty funny.

 

[Onomanic]

but i hope to use it though

 

[Onomanic]

>_> lol at my thread. HEY BLU LINK, LEARN TO ENGLISH. I disproved this awhile ago. Geez. The real CG is in Dthrow not Fthrow.

 

[Wafflez]

Wow, that wasn't a bump. That was more like a punt.

Lol @ "Learn to English".

 

[Onomanic]

I'm getting an infraction for this. I know it.

I'm getting an infraction for this. I know it.

lol, this is like 4 months old XD

I love you blu

 

[Onomanic]

And I double posted too lol

 

[Matt07]

, So did you find anything new about in 4 months .

 

[sasook]

Well, Blubba taught me that grab release -> dsmash doesn't always work.


......several times


......it was painful

 

[NintenJoe]

Two R.O.B. players taught me that he's one of Link's worst match-ups.

Lets just say my ass hurt after I got ledge-guarded like a champ.... I HATE ROB!!! UGH, HE'S NOT EVEN AN IMPORTANT NINTENDO CHARACTER, JUST SOME STUPID ROBOT WHO WAS USED FOR TWO FRIGGIN GAMES!!!! HOW IS HE BETTER THAN NINTENDO'S BEST CHARACTER... TELL ME!!!!

/really long rant

P.S. I'm not mad at all, I just capitalized to add dramatic tension.

He was their gimmick when they wanted to test out making a home console again when home console systems were dead and Arcades were the rage. Him and Duck Hunt. He helped make Nintendo as a video game console possible so I guess they feel obligated to make him a goofy armed character. I fear him more than Metaknight...

As for the thread sometimes I like to grab someone with the hookshot and just start pounding on them as hard as I can until they release themselves then do another jab cancel while they're in recoil and go for the Hookshot again. After two times they won't normally fall for it a 3rd time.

 

[Bouse]

R.O.B. is definitely a nuisance I'll give him that... but not all that scary.

I should really write some sort of guide... you know... with character match-ups in it...

 

[Anonano]

I remember something like that, Bouse...
Had something to do with really bad cheese puns... We really liked it before -and- after the cheesy puns.

 

[KillaFrmNY]

Lmao wth hapened to teh matchup thread.

 

[Metro Knight]

Link can chain grab a Wolf 3 times by throwing down

Yeah...

I do that to my brother lol, an idea on the health percentages? Like can I only do this when he has 0%? We haven't played in a while, I was really excited about this when I did it though.

 

[-Mars-]

He can do it to Fox and Falco as well.

 

[Blubba_Pinecone]

well

i like Dthrowing anyone and then just doing a reverse dash grab when they come back... kinda like a Cg but it isnt.

as far as grab release goes, Link get's to murder the living crap out of the bigheads. (Ness + Lucas) not only can Link regrab them before they can get out (although the timing is hard) but you can ALWAYS land a free Dsmash on them. free KO strategy? sure why not. lol

 

[Onomanic]

Where's my infraction? lol And I didn't know that about against Lucas and Ness. I'll try it out.

 

[sasook]

Blubba knows everything about grabs. Seriously, his grabbing is superb, so much to the point that it was painful.


.......at least for me it was, he was probably enjoying it.

 

[Ori_bro]

hey a video(s) would be nice i can tell my friend he mains link

lol. i am a grabby bugger ain't I? xD

 

[sasook]

lol, it inspired me. I was always a grabby Link, and usually I can land them pretty consistently.....except against you.

BTW, your Link is the best I've seen at using jabs and jab cancels. Real jab cancels, not the falso jab canceling Link AT.
