Link update 1.0.4

[Ryu Myuutsu]

They removed Link's Arrow-to-Bomb cancelling technique -_-

I've been trying to perform it with no results.

Why Sweet Baby Jesus!?

 

[ConsummateK]

It's times like this when I'm glad I'm still learning the basics and don't miss the ATs that are getting patched out

 

[Ryu_Ken]

Honestly, I'm starting to drop arrow-bombing and just practice retreating and approaching with arrows and bombs since that still messes up opponents pretty good.

 

[Ryu Myuutsu]

Arrow Bombing was a big part of my play-style. Oh well, no other choice but adapt.

 

[DarkDeity15]

Link can still item cancel his Bair. At least they had the curtecy to leave that in lol

*Edit- Nope, it turns out I was just auto canceling Bair the whole time. ;(

 

[TheBuzzSaw]

Someone needs to maintain a very careful patch history. This is the first of many changes I'm sure.

 

[ArdeS]

This technique was a core part of my playstyle. This'll take some adjusting...

 

[AtlusKnight]

They sped up his dash attack and his down tilt. Interesting.

"They removed Link's Arrow-to-Bomb cancelling technique"

Is it confirmed? What about toss cancel after a Zair or Dair?

I'll try everything I know tonight

Arrow Bombing was definitely removed, I just confirmed it by trying to test it on training mode.

 

[ArdeS]

DownB Bomb throws can no longer be used to cancel landing lag or knockback lag.

 

[Ryu_Ken]

I've still yet to receive the patch. Gonna check if I get notified tonight, and if I do, I'll start testing it.

 

[deakolt]

down b cancelling doesn't work for specials or zairs anymmore need to find a new way to open up for those finishes.

However, it seems both dash attack AND f-smash were buffed... Dash attack seems slightly faster, 2nd hit of f-smash seems easier to land: Not sure if larger hitbox, or maybe they reduced knockback from 1st hit of f-smash. Will have to test further.

So toss canceling confirmed removed?

 

[Elessar]

Confirmed

[N3XUS]

So toss canceling confirmed removed?

toss cancelling is still in, JCT is still in. Why do i have a feeling they're gonna change that too? maybe even bombsliding as well. this patching nonsense is a dangerous slippery slope.
