Fair enough. I still don't get why Sakurai nerfed Link's d-tilt to begin with, though. It wasn't that easy to get, was it? I know it used to act like in Melee and Brawl...We Young Link players are still trying to find out if we still have dtilt spike and more importantly the Fire Spike
Who's the middle guy?I have finally decide on who I am going to main in Smash ultimate
Must say I am quiet pleased with my choices

The main character from My Hero Academia. I'm just referencing the fact that his hero costume looks very similar to default Mii Brawler. Also that Brawler has a throw counter, which is Deku is sort of know for
Pretty much. I've been trying to search for literally any video I can find, and I can't find many competitive Links out there, which doesn't surprise me at all. Honestly, I don't think I've seen many top Links from other Smash games even try this demo yet, so maybe it's that.I'm becoming worried. I think I've only ever see Link lose in all the footage I've watched. I know these matches are super early, and actual Link players will build his meta, but his lack of hookshot and generally shoddy frame data makes me skeptical.
Play your bombs right and I imagine Link won't need to move much. Though faster jumpsquat is always a plus.
True. I still don't get why Link ever had his mobility nerfed in the first place. His running speed from 64 to Melee, and air speed from Melee to Brawl. He never really recovered from those nerfs completely, and he wasn't that fast anyway.
Well, they had to do SOMETHING to make him more distinct from his nimbler counterparts...
I agree with this mostly. Losing the tether grab was overall a buff imo but losing Zair sucks. And Link like most characters lost his throw combos so he's not a better grappler than in SSB4 despite the normal grab.I'm becoming worried.

I mean that the gap between them is just that big from what it seems. Just a little more speed couldn't hurt.
I don't think losing the hookshot hurts him that much considering he'll be better at punishing attacks and applying shield pressure, which he struggled to do in Smash 4. The landing lag on his aerial attacks has been improved significantly as well as his jumpsquat, so his frame data isn't completely crap.I'm becoming worried.

Staying as he was, even the smallest gap in speed compared to his counterparts would have made him the strictly inferior choice. Now, even if he's still lower than Young and Toon Link, he'll at least offer something fairly unique compared to them.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and Monster Hunter World come to mind for me. If you're also into the Indie side, Iconoclasts is a really good Metroidvania-esque adventure game for the Switch (it's a bit linear, but there's VERY little hand-holding, which I like).
Otakuni is on fire, he never lost a match in UltimateI'm becoming worried. I think I've only ever see Link lose in all the footage I've watched.

(as far as i know)
Iridium
for the links).

mentionned, his ground game won't the best (better zoning tools and sword range could make up for his slower attacks tho) but the reduced landing lag on his aerials and faster jumpsquats are the real blessing for Link since he had one of the slowest jumpsquat animation since forever. For him it's more than twice as fast as before (from 7 to 3 frames), compare to let's say, Kirby and Pikachu for example who only got one frame of reduction (from 4 to 3).
About the landing lag, I took my info from PushBlock Gaming (video down below, i've set the mark to the landing lag part) but i agree the jumpsquat change is the biggest buff, but nevertheless a few frames less of landing lag can make the difference imo.
Thanks. Sorry I forgot to reply earlier. I have MH World but will check out the other 2.
I've been looking to try out the Metroidvania genre as I've never really played the type of game before and have had my eye on Hollow Knight and Ori and the Blind forest but looking up Iconoclasts it too sees like a really interesting game. May I ask which you'd recommend more to a Metroidvania newcomer?
If you want to just get your feet wet before diving in, play Iconoclasts. Compared to Hollow Knight and Ori and the Blind Forest, it doesn't have as many Metroidvania elements, but it's still got cool levels to explore and a great story behind it. It's the more linear game as well, so if you're comfortable with that, give it a try.I've been looking to try out the Metroidvania genre as I've never really played the type of game before and have had my eye on Hollow Knight and Ori and the Blind forest but looking up Iconoclasts it too sees like a really interesting game.

I say it's personal preference. Iconoclasts runs flawlessly on my laptop without any modifications, and my laptop's running on a measely Intel Pentium core. The controls are pretty simple and customizable, so I don't think you'll have much issue with them. It's really just up to you.Alright. Would you recommend for switch or pc?
Or is that just personal preference

comes back I'm going to ask a mod to give someone else control of the thread so we can change the title. Anyone want to do it? If not I'll do it.

and Bakasama in the thread i've linked above):Infinite horizontal recovery huh? Definitetly a buff
Looks like you and I both had the same idea. I just happen to create a separate thread on recovering with Link's Remote Bombs.A user here created this wonderful thread: https://smashboards.com/threads/lan...ad-training-mode-tested.464174/#post-22768840
The info so far:
Nair: 6 frames
Fair: 11 frames
Bair: 6 frames
Uair: 14 frames
Dair: 19 frames
Fullhop height: 3 stage units
Shorthop height: 1.5 stage units
Bomb stats: Pull takes 39 frames. Detonation takes 11 frames. Throw takes 23 frames. Bombs have 60~ HP.
Interesting Notes: Link can infinitely recover with bombs it seems. Throw them down and blow them up, that's all it takes, you can also zdrop-detonate. Bombs can take roughly 60 damage before exploding on their own. Bombs can't be blown up in someone else's hands. Link's dtilt can't meteor anymore (dunno if it could in 4, could in melee). Link can shorthop bair and double jump, but cannot shorthop nair and double jump.
Other bits of info found about the new remote bombs (you can check the full conversation between
