Hard to judge. It seemed like you knew what you were doing, but at the same time, that CF clearly didn't know what he was doing. There was tons of stuff you definitely should have, and would have, gotten punished for.

The only thing I can say at this point is there was too much raw arrow. Arrows are okay, but in such an enclosed space, you'll get blown up for just popping an arrow off. Usually, imo, you don't want to use your arrows unless your boomerang is not currently available to you.

Yeah I usually use arrows for pressure more than anything. Cut off an area of approach, then just read their path.

Thanks for the tips!

Problem with using arrows in such a way is that their recovery time isn't good. If that CF were to Dash-Dance like he should have been doing, a quickly popped off arrow would have been DD'd away from and he would have just turned around and knee'd you in your massive T.Link head. Likewise, a charged arrow is easy to see coming and he could have used platforms to get around you and also knee you in your massive T.Link head.

This comes from experience from when my step-brother knees me in my massive T.Link head...

Oi, what about me?
I said like exactly the same thing, minus the arrows.
:p
Sorry you were right too I just didn't get around to confirming lol. The guy I played is an up and coming player and he doesn't Falcon much.
I really just wanted my movement, AT, neutral and inside game analyzed.

Thanks for the tips!

Arrows are okay. They're the worst of his three projectiles, but they most definitely have a use.

Anyone interested in a TL Skype group? Let's talk to Jolteon about why Toon Link is a top-10 character.

I'd be more interested if I had the time these days. I haven't even really played for over a month.

A TL Skype group would be cool, I have been playing a lot of TL on wifi and I played a bit at LTC. Definitely noticing some potential.

People think hes low tier because they've never played against one. That REALLY bothers me.

This is very, VERY true, hell, I've never even played a YL main before, been playing for over 7 years.
Closest is Caveman, he's super old school, and didn't really main him.

I just played in my local P:M Monthlies this weekend and got 2nd with TL. I played marth like one or two matches but every game that I won, was with TL. Won first round, lost to oracle, and then I ran a train through losers. I was nervous about not just playing marth the entire tournament but I think it worked out because this is the highest I've ever placed. (I think I heard they're gonna ask around some boards and see how to deal with tink :()

I wish I could place high, but Oro, Rat and Kirk are all jerks along with the rest of the Midwest players

I want to go to more events, but my car broke down and I now have no way to get there since Erin's constantly working.

Doesn't help that my job likes me to work the same time the events run usually.

Welp. Smashboards is finally up.

I started to record videos of my Toon Link as of last month, and actually have some recent footage on hand from yesterday.

You guys wouldn't mind if I place'em all here right?

I actually have a lot on me.

Someone explain The Magic Hat. I just found it and I don't understand. Please send help. But in all seriousness what even is that spike hitbox on his downair. It's a fire of lust and hate in his cap. What's the point of it? What's it's origin? Why can't I stop laughing til I weep.

It's a meteor hitbox iirc... Not a spike. Fire Meteor just doesn't sound cool so it was called fire spike.
Anyways its just a hitbox in the hilt of tls sword/partway into his head that hits you down. I have some smexy combos and uses out of it.

Alright. I was gonna hold off until I finally had ALL of the clips I recorded, but half of them are with a friend of mine, so I can't exactly upload them as of yet.

I'll show off what I have though.

The ones I'm missing are my Tink vs Mario and Ike respectively - Which were recorded about a month ago. I'll post them asap.

There's also some more friendly games I have on my channel, if any of you are interested.

Comments and critiques appreciated.

I feel like theres only a few active TLs... I want to discuss so much TL stuff but there's not enough people to constantly keep something going.
Skype Group somebody?

Skype group is a good idea. I'm going to start playing P:M again. I've been taking a break from the game. I think it's about time to go back to it.

On another note, does anyone have any critiques for my Toon Link? lol.
