Young Link Bomb Slide!

Alright, this is my first ever thread/guide and one of my first few posts. Yes, I am an 08'er, but please listen to what I say.

I believe I have discovered a character-specific technique. I call it bomb sliding, but I don't really care what the name is. To do this technique all you have do is:

1: Bomb set
2: take a few steps back and turn around/wavedash
3: hit the bomb with a ground neutral attack
I believe this is very hard to do, but is very useful. The results are one of six things:
A)bomb keeps moving backward until it explodes or falls off screen or hits a wall
B)bomb moves backward and stops right in front of you
C)bomb moves barely backward
D)bomb goes nowhere
E)bomb moves slightly forward
F)bomb moves backward and stops a few character lengths from where it was
G)bomb moves forward and doesn't stop until it explodes hits a wall or falls off screen
If you can do this consistently enough and with the right timing you will be a formidable foe, but I think that what happens depends on:
A)how high above it is compared to you
B)how close you are compared to it

I don't have a camera and therefore do not have a video. I have version 1.2 and have only played on 1.2 so I don't know if it works on other versions. I would love to see this technique used in tourney play, and I would like to see this in the bomb guide if not stickied.

Huh.... I can't say I've seen this before but maybe it's just because I'm not up to snuff on my Y. Link.

No offense, but it's really not that useful. In that time, you could just throw the Bomb or throw a Boomerang.

It's good for... messing around, I guess.

That doesn't take that much time. I could see it useful for mindgames for like 1 match. Although the slide that lasts till it blows up sounds pretty good. Like depending how fast it goes, you could egress with more ease and more effectiveness. I am talking do the bomb slide, jump/bomb, rang, bomb, sliding bomb explodes. Just another projectile your opponent has to deal with. I am gonna test this technique before I jump to any conclusions.

Old as hell. You can also just pull out another bomb and throw it down on it when the bomb starts flashing. Little to no practical application, but it's fun.

Also, over here, we call that shiz bombchu.
