I throw a boomerang behind her and up before fsmashing twice. When it works it's absolutely glorious.

Damn you've gotten alot better I see
Well there isn't really anything I can say, you're pretty solid, just be careful with your aerials to grab and when to grab (there were some times where a grab was impossible to land, f.ex. that NAir to Grab at high percent in the beginning).

Damn, I wish doing Phantom Hits were easier. On two different occasions now, I accidentally phantom boomeranged jiggs while she was in rest. One of those times, she ate 20% without waking up. Now imagine if someone could do that everytime!
@dablackpacman: I envy your teamwork capabilities. Good stuff. Who knew Mario and Link meshed together so well like that.

Fully charged second hit of forward smash.
I dair if I don't have the time to set up the first hit whiff.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iusS3Lb5Pw This was how you beat Axe a year ago lol
I don't know man. You look like you're a bit better than me and still got *****.
ehhh... one habit I did find is that after hookshotting, you always wait until Link swings to the bottom before you try reeling in. Try reeling in sooner every once in a while.

Just to let you know mango played as link and lost to Axe so don't feel like you got ***** because you should realize how good axe is. I would say you don't look like you have matchup experience against pika which is normal not many people have a piki in thier crew but what axe was about to do against you was he creamed you whenever you tried to edguard him think of edguarding pika like just having a advantage because he is holding onto the ledge and u have the upper hand but stay out of his rang he has to get back on somehow. other than that DI the upsmashes you could have lived longer.
The biggest mistake was taking him to DL that was a awful idea that's actually where i would have CP if i was pika i can live forever if i'm good and have good DI=Axe should have gone somewhere with a low ceiling or better yet somewhere where he has a tougher time sweetspotting like battlefield not kongo again he will live forever and you will be toast. Keep in mind you cant hookshot twice but you can airdodge get hit and than try it again. Again axe has beatin Shiz jman and the list goes on so don't worry about losing.

why is it the less i play link the better my link becomes at a later date?
my link was starting to wane, didnt touch the guy for three weeks, and havent smashed for the last two, play smash with a friend today and my link was playing AMAAAAAAAAAAAAZING.
@Problem2: How to beat Axe with link: Yell "I'M NOT GOING TO ****ING LOSE" at the top of your lungs, startling him and throwing him off his game, then get a SUPER RIDICULOUSLY LUCKY GIMP game 3.
Skill right there.
If Axe and HDL play @ pound 5, HDL is free.

So do we got anything goin on in smashing world of link? Had to cancel our weekly smashfest last week. Kinda created this thread to get some help and better understanding of the link meta-game outside of what ive put together myself so far. But i guess to do the distance between each other, we dont get to play with each other (no homo) and the advice given in very general

I've gotten some of my roommates into melee; one of them even plans on learning advanced stuff! Until then I shall wait and continue curb stomping him and computers in FFAs. At least it keeps my tech skill at its usual terrible-but-passable level.
I must attend the next NE tournament.

can link reflect all projectiles with his shield? and does that remain true when he is wavedashing?
-tRiNiTy-
Smash Apprentice
Yes, it blocks every projectile, as long as it hits your shield. And no, you have to stand still for the shield to work =P
enCouRaging Bear
Smash Journeyman
snap... i thought i found something cool but i didn't have the game in front of me to test it...
i thought you were in standing still state while wavedashing hence able to use shield
regardless maybe it wouldn't be applicable because it has to hit the shield...
it would be awesome though if his shield was bigger and he could wavedash around and be nearly invincible to projectiles from the front (i had falco most in mind)
but alas...

Even if his shield were bigger and could be used while WDing, the shield doesn't reflect projectiles at all it only blocks them. Though that's probably just a typo on your part if I had a guess.

**** yeah that's what i meant... still think it would be pretty cool though... maybe i should go askproject m to put something like that in... hmmm

^ Haha i honestly found out that i am horrible at link dittos i played about 5 and won about 3 against a link who wasn't very good it's a funny matchup and i have zero XP and i'm naturally bad haha.
BEst way to jab grab is to jab twice then grab.

i use to be bad at link dittos, till everyone started to play with him thinkn they culd beat mine. now ive beaten just about everyone in MI whos tried to beat me with link
soul-as for ur jab grab, the best thing to do is prolly just give up. u more then likely will never be able to take me in link dittos no matter how much training i give u n if u ever mastered his jab-grab, by then id prolly be able to beat HDL or i wuldve have alrdy retired this game
As for HDL, i really hate that kids always compare me to him at tournies ir ask if i've heard of him. Its like "yes guys, theres only 23 link players in the whole world and only 4 of them worth mentioning, Ive heard of him". or if im doin legit comboes, they are like "there goes HDL, gettin off" n its like "no, thats dablackpacman gettn off, recognize" lol

so i was messing around in training mode today trying to think of punishes if puff misses a rest and i came up with this.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0WukEJHyt9I&feature=channel_video_title
It probably won't work as i suggest in the title, but it might be a move in the right direction at low percents

I've been using f-smash to return boomerang to second hit f-smash. It looks like your combo does more damage, but I would be scared jiggs would DI out.

My favorite rest punish is still:
1) Dashdance and wavedash like crazy
2) DTilt
3) ???
4) Profit!

Octave

I'm not experienced enough to critique but just something I noticed. During the round at Battlefield I didn't see you attempt to recover by hookshotting the bottom of the stage. The only places you can't hookshot are the thing that looks like it's got mesh on it and the very tip of the bottom. Dunno if you didn't know this or just didn't try it but I figured I may as well point it out. Also, when your ally is dead I noticed you use Up-B a lot. Try to switch it up and use Jump OOS Nair or double Nair.

We need more people to look for how to use the boomerang's returning reset to improve Link's recovery. The boomerang cancels Link's "zomg I'm helpless and can't grab backwards" animation, but not his "I'm going to be helpless and unable to grab backwards soon" animation.
Basically it can cancel the animation about a second after his upB is over and about a half second after his airdodge is over.
Come on people!
