Link is a character in PM that requires a lot of tech skill to master and there are a lot of things you can do with link that are pretty cool. The point of this thread is to tell me your favorite link tech and maybe one or two people maight just learn something new. I'll List a few of them below, but not all of them. The order of the list is not taken under consideration.
1) Bomb Jumb: AGT a bomb upward and Up B into it. All link mains must know this.
2) Bomb Plant: While bomb in hand, SH and press Z just as link falls.
3) ZAIR: Just using the claw shot to pressure opponents from afar. tipper it and they get popped up.
4) Perfect Moonwalk: Hold Attack and move the left stick forward and then half circle down. the left stick should be kept in the down angle for the duration of the Moonwalk. Then you periodically move the C-stick forwards. Timing with the C-Stick is important.
5) Bomb Punt: while bomb in hand; SH, drop bomb and move link back just a tad then Zair the bomb. If done correctly, link will hit the bomb and it will lob forwards.
6) Bomb Return: While bomb in hand Side B. throw the bomb at the boomerang as it returns to you. The bomb should bounce off it and fall behind you.
7) Spin Ledge Cancel: This one is my favorite to do. It's practically worthless in actual matches, but it's very flashy looking. The concept is to cancel Link's Up B and grab the ledge (or fall off it if the ledge isn't possible to grab). First have Link's back toward the edge and close to it. You then moonwalk so that Link grabs the ledge, but Up B JUST before he falls. It's very hard to time, but it looks amazing. What it should look like is Link performing his Up B, but without any upward momentum. He just falls or grabs ledge.
EDIT: Praise Triforce We have new tech!:
ok it's not new, but i just recently found out how to do it and its flashy so ill add it in.
8) Hylian Bomb: The concept of throwing the bomb downwards, catching it, repeat if necessary, catch it then throw it upwards, Profit. Ok well it's hard to explain it with words only, but here's how to do it:
While bomb in hand and in air, AGT the bomb downward then almost immediately after it you can do three things: 1) AGT the bomb downward again (repeatable) 2) AGT the bomb sideways (the chain ends) 3) AGT the bomb upwards (the chain ends). The functionality of this tech is to maintain aerial mobility and juke the opponent, but most people do it for the flash factor. (so do I)
These are just a few things Link can do, but I just listed my favorites. Comment and tell me what your favorite Link tech is.
