Lol. Old business.

There are some characters in which using the gale boomerang can hurt a lot. Like Marth for instance. A versatile character who can make the boomerang flexible in his favor.

Marth dodges the boomerang. When the boomerang is returning, he uses its push to excel him towards you with an F-air. Since f-air has decent range above, in front, and below him, he is guarded, and can possibly attack you. After all, the boomerang comes back in your general direction. Its just one of those lol moments.

Galeguarding Marth is a really effective way to gimp him, just fyi. Doesn't work so well on most other character though, unless you catch, say, DK or Bowser in it right BEFORE they UpB to return to the stage.
There was a really cool video about that somewhere, I wonder if I can find it...

EDIT: AT's I can think of with the boomerang...

Phantom Boomerang

There are only 2 true AT's with the boomerang that I can come up with off the top of my head, Havokk.
There's the double dsmash, and the f/bthrow jablock setup, but I don't really consider those boomerang ATs as much as just generic ATs.

Just as a reference, the Gale Boomerang's range:

The gale boomerang has its many uses just like any other projectile link has. Ill let the people who dont comprehend or understand why to explore and test out why.

One thing possible with the Gale Boomerang is the Impossible 49

I call it that because you can score a 49 percent combo by only hitting with Link's two smash attacks fully charged using the wind to bring an opponent closer to you after you hit them, but even then there's no way to set it up on a human and you can only do it at 0 percent.

The boomerang is my second favorite projectile next to the bomb ^^ i use it to keep my opponents on the ground by throwing it diagonal.
