Short and Simple, Claw shot sweet spots the Ledge, But Hookshot let you cling on at different area's and angles, and possibly saved more lives.

Anyways I love the hookshot which do you prefer?

I want my old hookshot recovery back, I want the old length back. But I can do with zair.

I honestly believe we have to resort to zair since nair was pretty nerfed.

While were at it, I want my old up b back as well.

Yeah...I miss my handy dandy Hookshot. The Clawshot looks cooler, but the Hookshot was more useful when recovering.

Oh well...I tend to overwhelm my opponent anyways cause lets face facts: Link is a beast. Period.

What I really miss about Link's grab game from Melee is his Dthrow because you could catch tech rollers and loop them after each Dthrow because it didn't send off opponents flying.

Grab, Dthrow, Grab, Dthrow, Grab, Dthrow... :laugh:, not a chain grab but still it was so good. ;)

Hm, well the Clawshot has a better dair than the Hookshot but the Hookshot was much better for recovering. And seeing how the Link's recovery is so bad, the Hookshot is better. So, Hookshot for the win.

sakurai - "Hey guys, sweetspotting with the hookshot was too hard in melee so we have to make it automatic and easy, while letting it be less versatile. In other words, lets gimp them lol'
