What does the black color exist?
White would be so much better.

 

[Barge]

I couldn't agree more, the black color sucks IMO. :O

Probably to target people who like dark colors to use TL?
Idk.

 

[Disfunkshunal]

black is the best! and im not just saying that cuz i am black.

 

[Barge]

When I fight a dark toon link, it doesn't feel the same, it takes away his personality ]:

 

[urdailywater]

BLUE All the way!
This was MY idea first!!!... ladies

and I have a question in it too..

What's the difference between a smash DI and Regular DI for Toon Link?

I know what DI means (Direction Influence, right?) but I don't really know how if I'm using it by what I think (holding the analog stick in the direction I want to go) or if it's different.

Blue is my color ;P

Smash DI = Tapping the controller constantly to get out of a smash, like pikachus down smash/

 

[VietGeek]

Blue is my color ;P

I was here first. Screw the my secondary status, I'm legal.

Q: Why are people afraid of my walls of text?

 

[Sosuke]

Brown sleeves mine. >_>

I'm not Viet. D=
I enjoy the read.
Lazy people are.

 

[Rutger]

Interesting how the first page of this is going to be people talking about costumes.

I play blue. ^_^
and NES
and well all of them. Even Dark. For the lulz.
^_^

 

[Barge]

I hope this gets stickied ;P

 

[Jellyfishn]

Toon Link should have had his awesome Pajama costume from WW! But blue is my color.

We fear your walls of text because they are full of truth and often prove us wrong....xD

Edit: Don't we already have a TL question thread?

Yes, but Jestiah's thread was so old, vintage, and down right legit we had to do away with it for a newer one that appeals to the younger, more upbeat young crowd.

Or something like that. Apparently going to tourneys has made me talk like...

well that.

 

[TheFast]

I have a question.
Why isn't my guide in your list?
j/k......but really -.-

 

[Sosuke]

I might make one of those big fancy threads on the weekend. Depends how busy I am.
But be sure that it will include EVERYTHING we have so far. =)

Should I update the video thread with AT videos?

 

[Barge]

If you feel your thread should be added, post here

 

[Barge]

Bump so newbs see it.

 

[Sosuke]

These are the Toon Link boards.
We have no noobs.

 

[rocker1356]

I have a question. Could you rate the best ways to K.O. in a battle?

 

[Barge]

I have a question. Could you rate the best ways to K.O. in a battle?

Best killing moves:

Upair
Upsmash
Forward Smash
Fair
Upair
Dair


Others are mostly for racking damage/comboing.

 

[rocker1356]

Thanks! Do you want to Brawl some time? And that is really helpful.

 

[vbdood1337]

Lol you said upair twice. And utilt can kill if its fresh (shouldn't be unless you just died), but its a kill move nonetheless.

 

[chimpact]

Ok I asked you this before Barge, but I got answers from non TL mains. How do you edge guard Toon Link? Ive implemented stage spiking in my game and it's working pretty well, but what other things can I do? The boomerang stops my from Fairing with anyone and the up b comes out so fast.... HOW DO I EDGEGUARD HIM?

 

[Sosuke]

Dair.
=P

 

[Barge]

I know I said upair twice, It can kill at like...60%

 

[chimpact]

You still havent answered my question....

Also which way do you DI his Fsmash?

 

[Ginger_Warrior]

The way his opponent's going would be good idea.

Depends on who you have... The boards for the character you use would answer that question better than us...
We know how to edgegaurd T.Link with T.Link, but unless we kno what character you want to kno how to edgegaurd with and someone here uses them or just knows.
Then sorry we cant answer it.

 

[Sosuke]

How do you edgegaurd Toon Link?


You pick Wario.

Ahh, the noob days.

 

[K 2]

I have a stupid question...Can you glidetoss TL's bombs? I think the answer is no...but I would like someone to confirm that.

Anyone can glide toss anything you can throw.

so yes, but he doesnt get much distance. Much better off dash tossing

 

[K 2]

Is glidetossing character dependent or item dependent?

 

[Barge]

It depends on the character
see, with diddy, he glides far when he glidetosses, toon links is barely noticeable. Rob's is insane and peachs is moderate

 

[TheJerm]

Yes, you can. I do it all the time.

 

[vbdood1337]

Yes, you can. I do it all the time.

Then stop because it gives you no distance at all. You should be JC throwing instead.

Ok i've got a question... How the hell do you do a SHDA? I just cant do it, maybe my fingers arent fast enough? I mean, if i use both hands like one finger on the specials button and one on the jump button i can do it everytime but that just feels awkward >_>

To those of you who CAN do it, just how do you do it? Customized controller scheme or..?

Just keep practicing, shoot an arrow the moment you SH, and you should get the second one coming out fast.

10 minutes of practice will help you get it down.

So i guess i just need faster fingers? Ive tried practicing it a few times already but i kinda gave up on it since it was a bit frustrating.. guess ill practice some more then

 

[Barge]

You can do it with any control scheme, I do it fine with the standard GC setup

I had a little bit of difficulty at first, and I was punished badly for it. End up hopping and not firing any arrows.

I eventually overcame that hurdle though, by watching this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcODP-_bhrI) over and over again until the timing was ingrained into my head. Went into the practice room, spent about half an hour, and eventually I managed to string three SHDAs in a row. Then I went into fits of joy, but that isn't necessary if you don't want to.

After that, the timing for all TL's quickdraw techniques are near enough the same. With bomb pull -> QD you need to be a bit quicker. Sometimes you can be too quick, and you'll press B during TL's jump lag. If you think that's happening, try hitting B a bit later, and B again just as TL lands.

It'll come with practice. Also, I use the L trigger for jumping. It's a bit awkward with Y / X.

===============

I have a question. What's the difference between JC throw and Pivot throw 'coz I can't really see one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rq5UKpxhA6M
