It was in Melee and 64. Is it in Brawl.
(pressing A fast enough repeatedly would cause Link to slash repeatedly.)

I've seen alot of characters do what looks like what you're implying. I think it has to do with holding the A Button this time (the cahracters I've seen do it are Mario, Snake, Captain Falcon, Meta Knight, Fox, and I think Pit doing something of the sort).

On another thread, someone who has played the game said the "illusion stab" was out. There's only the regular jab(s) and the 3-jab-combo attack...

I think I might know why they took it out, but I think for the dumbest reason too.

OK, so we all know that now you can simply hold the A button for auto-stardard combos, thing is "uh-oh" Link has two seprate moves that can't be both auto....one of them has to go.

Of course this is the lamest reason for taken out the illusion stab combo, but I think this is most likely the cause for it's loss. We don't have lazy thumbs Sakurai! Please bring back Link's stabs!

The illusion stab is gone cuz sakurai hates link.
That's why link sucked in 64 an that's why he sucks in brawl.

So he gave him speedier attacks, more overall agility, higher tilt knockback, faster longer reaching projectiles, a quicker grab, and a ledge-aiming aerial clawshot because he hates him?

Yeah, good logic, chum.

hey, the hookshot was easy as **** to use in the last game.
yea his **** is faster and stronger, but he can't combo for ****.
Like, up tilt to up air doesn't even work.
worst recovery in the game
hookshot, grapple is shorter.

I am just *****ing cuz links gonna be a ***** to win with and I know I'm not gonna switch mains so god****it.

That move wasn't that important anyways, geez.... you guys make it sound like they took his sword away.

Everyone sucks in brawl.
Who cares if it was useful or not?

It's like taking away pepperoni off a pizza. Can you live without it? Yes. Will you miss it forever for the next 6-8 years? Hell ya!

I loved that move even though it had little to no value. it's just one of those moves you just gotta have. What really hurts is that what started in 64, ended in Brawl. I bet if the Illusion Stab was a hidden skill in TP they would've kept it in.

I prefered the triple slash over the illusion stab anyday! It's not a good idea to be standing still in SSB anyway.
