I use X and I set L as specials. And I have tap jump on.

I suppose setting a shoulder to specials would work...not a bad idea. I tend to use L for all my dodging and shielding. I tried setting R to jump, once, but that didn't go over so well. Maybe it'll be more useful for B moves.

I know we are talking about how to SHDA, but really, I don't find it that useful in a match. I have yet to find a good use for it. Everytime I do, I just end up getting punished for it.

do it against Slow characters and when they are at a distance
or when they are tryin to approach
Even when ROB is trying to out camp you use it
Abuse the face off it on Ganon
You know what in my Toon Link guide or a separate thread I'm going to Explain the usefulness of SHDA against all characters of the cast.

It IS necessary in some matchups so u should learn it. But its generally a bad way to camp. Stick with bombs, rang and ur sword. And of course, zair ^.^

@ KIEF: I'm the only decent smasher in my area. Surrounded by noobs...CPs are as good as it gets.
SHDA's OK, IMO, but it is kinda slow. I usually just use the arrows to pop off as I land from an aerial.

Hi.
I'm a kirby main, as you probably noticed. Last november, I started working on Kirby really hard. I'd started working on making TL my secondary, but without really noticing it, stopped. I've come to regret that decision. What's some advice you guys could give me for seconding him? I thank you in advance for your help.

But dont expect to be amazing with Toon Link.
You kinda have to devote yourself to him more than other characters.

And space better

Worship TL, make sure that you use him A LOT. That's why my Toon Link sucked for so long, I didn't play my main enough and played my secondaries too often. Even to have him as a secondary takes lots of work and gameplay experience.

Anyone got any good mindgames ro tricks with grounded UpB?
I've been using a bit more and it's alright against spotdodges and OoS.
Possible to do a Hyphen Spin attack? 8D

I think if you mix you attacks good enough your opponent might be use to blocking up to three hits. Jabs hitting three times in a row. So you can throw them off at times if they try to time in a grab. Jab cancel into Spin Attack.

I need some help i think i'm starting to be too predictable with toon link. I keep doing Nair to arrows, zair to grab, zair to nair i always grab a bomb out in a short hop then arrow cancel in the other direction. It seems my opponents can start to read what i'm going to do and i seem to always recover below the stage.
Would a vid of me playing a few friendlies help you guys help me? I'm just not sure how to mix my game up exactly.

I've figured out a really random trick you can do with the grounded Up-B.
A while ago some guy said that he had somehow used grounded Up-B to spike someone. From that desciption I figured out that if your opponent is hanging on the ledge and has run out of invincibility frames, and you are standing next to him facing the other way, if you do a grounded Up-B, the first hit behind you (1%) will hit the guy on the ledge downwards. For this to actually kill someone though, they need to be on a high percent.
Usefull? No
Fun to know? You betcha.
I didn't see any Bairs or Boomerangs. Use more Bairs, always have a boomerang out and a bomb in your hand.
If this doesn't help, then use another character for a little while. Seriously, if they're used to versing a Toonlink then use another character until they're used to that one and then switch back. Simple.

I always do Bairs and always have a boomerang out and all the other basic stuff i know of. I think you're idea of me to use another character is the situation. Since all i ever use is toon link.

Falcon and sonic are way faster than TL, the key is to slow their momentum down and bring the game to your speed.

k thx, its just i wanna get to the speed you pros go at like u, santi, H_R, chip etc

You always want to stay in the air more and use moves that don't lag.
You want to flow like water......you're movements should be fluid and your attacks should be swift.

thx alzi & lobos very grateful ',; )
Back air is definitely one of toon links main aerial moves.
Not much lag, great at stringing together multiple bairs, damage racker.
You should use nair when approaching, after zairs, to get someone off you.
Fairs for killing (be careful, they're slow and punishable)
Dairs should be limited. A lot of new toon links spam this for some reason. Only dair when you KNOW you'll hit them with it.
Never use it off stage as it is almost a guarantee'd SD. If you're going to use dair offstage, make sure you footstool -> dair first.
Upair for killing, air dodgers (this thing lasts a really long time)
Zair for approaching.
Zair is awesome, here are a few things you can do out of zair
Zair - Bomb - Nair
Zair - Nair
Zair - Hyphen
Zair - Bomb - Hyphen
None of these are guarantee'd as they all can be DI'd out of.

This is planking. It's a version of stalling that many consider dumb.

think its when he keeps grabbing the edge
You cannot say bair is necessarily better against MK, it all depends on your situation. Bair is a great way to rack up damage, nair makes for a good approach. I also like to use it when getting back on stage. I tap down when holding on the edge and jump onto the stage with a nair.
Planking is constantly regrabbing the ledge, using the invincibility frames to your advantage.
Its used to stall out the timer, in order to win a game.
In tournaments if the clock runs out the player with the most stocks and lower percentage wins the match. It only goes to sudden death if the clock runs out when they're at the same %.
So plank planked in that video to win.
If the falco messed up on trying to punish metaknight, plank could surely make him lose a stock with offstage gimping.
