New Advanced Technique for Toon Link

[ihatemybrother]

Toon Link must have the worst gliding toss in the game. He barely goes anywhere. Frustrated, I looked for an alternative, and I found that you can cancel a jump with a throw, and thus, do a jump-canceled throw. What does this mean? Well look at the video I created and see the advantages. Works great with a dash-dance.

EDIT:
Tsen already found this technique. It was a self-find for me, and I believe my video gives a clean look at it, so I will not ask a Mod to close this. Instead, this thread will be used to discuss possible combos/cool stuff available with this.


Double EDIT: This has great combo potential, so I made a video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1QGGqGllQY

Nice! Not very hard to do either

This has actually been posted before, but it's hard to find.

Nice catch though.

Yea, I posted it before in the advanced techniques thread. It went completely unnoticed, so I thought I'd bring it here. But I DO LOVE IT!

Oh, and its good when u do, an empty shorthop to dash, the insta-one? Well u can jump-cancel throw there to.

...Explain to me how to pull of this technique...? Cause like, I'm trying, but I'm not entirely sure how to execute it.

 

[WakerofWinds]

I'm fairly certain it was posted here too... by Tsen or somebody.

Ever done a jump-canceled grab in brawl? This is like a jump-canceled throw, which will make you slide a bit.. Dash and then press the jump button, but exactly as you do that (or a tiny bit afterwards), throw the bomb.. I use the C-stick to throw, then you can throw both Up and to the sides with ease ^^

i think i saw this b4 but cool vid

 

[ihatemybrother]

Yea, Tsen posted this earlier, I'm sorry guys. It was a self-find for me, thats why I pushed it. Sorry Tsen.

 

[Fire52388]

Pretty cool find though, looks useful.

 

[Cooper736]

This seems like it will be useful, considering that the only other way for TL to make his bombs useful is to jump and throw. Also an excellent way to approach.

I'd say nice find, but since you didn't find it, I'll just say thanks for bringing it to the Toon Link board.

 

[ssbbFICTION]

THats awesome. I've been looking for one like this. Using the z button to throw bombs works perfectly with this method.

 

[Tonyman]

I think this might be pretty cool, maybe even flashy spamming bombs like this i'll definetly try it.

 

[-Aether]

To my knowledge, doing Glide-Tosses with T. Link is impossible (roll with a throw in the middle.) But yes, this is a good technique that has been covered elseware.

 

[MajiNfraze]

I like it. The reverse one could be used to catch an approaching Ike, then fsmash, or sh 'rang, or RAR bair.

Looks neato torpedo.

 

[CorruptFate]

Nice job! cant wait to try it out.

 

[blln4lyf]

Can't you just do the same exact thing out of a shield or am i missing something?

 

[headbandjigg]

very nice
just like jumpcancelled grabs
if you're having trouble with this, try using Z to throw instead of cstick or a or w/e
i also use y for the jumpcancel part but most people probably use up on control stick

 

[Young_Link808]

how do hell do u do this?

 

[darkshy]

Nice find. I see a few possiblities with it. For instance, againsr a shielding opponent, you could

JC throw< grab< d-throw < bair

if you can get close enough.

If the bomb connects you could maybe even

JC throw< arrow< grab< etc.

It's a good technique.

 

[ihatemybrother]

Yes, for most characters, you can do something called the gliding toss, but Toon Link simply cannot. He barely moves, so instead you must do this.

 

[chckn]

pivot throw is gold, great for mindgames. good find!

 

[ihatemybrother]

This has amazing combo potential.
I just made a combo vid using ONLY this technique.

[Young_Link808]

hello y am i being ignored?

how the hell do u do this?

 

[Tahtah]

[Stelfe]

hello y am i being ignored?

how the hell do u do this?

Because you're not the only one in the universe.

 

[BluBone313]

okay so....just to be sure, are u short jumping and cancelling by throwin tha bomb?

 

[MASAHIROx]

lol i cant do it...

 

[Tsen]
