Skip all the boring stuff that every single other person writes about (ie how to wavedash, the stats of EVERY move). Just tell us the combo potential that each move has? And the stuff that people missed (like actual help doing the bomb recovery).

Alright, so far we have (in addition to normal guidey stuff) doing the double nair effectively, combo potential of moves, how to bomb jump and how to love/my thoughts on love.

I might do some research on Link's insta-sweetspot hookshot, I have a new theory on it that will be tested today.

Although said, but I'd like to clarify, what % move A combos into move B. Like what percents link can downthrow to up b/tilt/air. I was going to find that out but had no one willing to do it with good DI.

Since you're including match-ups then I'd like CPs. I always have trouble with them. And maybe some tips on how to not suck when I'm off the stage. I don't play Link in teams because I usually get ***** or can't do anything. And since you're really good with his projectiles; I'd like some info on which and when to use.

Bam, first post updated with the current requests my initial list didn't cover.

Keep things coming if you can think of them! I should be able to get at least half of it done this week. ****'s going to be intense.

You guys are expecting waaaaay to much out of Link and Skler. Most of it's going to be like "Okay so in this match up you're going to want to nair... A LOT!". That'll actually probably be the ENTIRE guide.

lulz, skler, bair > dj > X uses.

So Skler's guide will basically stop all conversation on the link boards?

Skler, pls include how to play link.


Edit: ok for serious, recovery options/tactics. Namely how you ALWAYS make it back to the stage, regardless of how many jolts/ftilts/whatevers i throw at you.

Fun fact: Writing guides takes a long time. I got the recovery and moves in combos sections out of the way. I included my thoughts on Link's potential anyways, so hah.

I feel I should warn everybody right now that this guide will blow your minds ten ways to next Tuesday. That's being modest, too.

I don't think using arrows to block projectiles is all that good. It doesn't stay in the ground very long and these days Players like Falco don't do standing projectile spamming.
