No! You never use spin attack to get the smash ball, even if it does hit many times. Same with the screw attack. Its likely that you will not break it and fall, unable to attack and giving your opponent a chance to break it. Or, if you do break it, you fall, vulnerable and giving your opponent a chance to hit you and take it back. fools!
Thumbs up if you think all this fighting would end if they made Smash Brothers 4 with a Big Hypersensitivity Switch, and basically competitive players can switch it from brawl's game play to melee's quick gameplay with the wavedash and all. It could be hard to do but what if Mashiro Sakurai thought about it?
My strat, keep distance using arrows,bombs and bomerang. After some has been delt, use combos repeatedly. (My fav is hurling a bomb upwards, then grab the opponent and throw them into the bomb.) Dodge often and when the opponent go to attack side step and use either the down or left/right smash.
you may also want to jump after him and do a move that knocks the opponent down, or try a tadstool jump. thats when you jump on his head (timing is key) making him fall down more rapidly. A good fighter for these tactics is Captain Falcon, because he packs power and speed, and his side special move knocks opponents down in mid air and lets the user jump back up. Just some info for beginners, THX for reading :)
Link can be annoying to play against because his cheap meter is full. but if ur playing with him against a lower level player, use his grapple and throw the opponent into a wall, then run up and use his standard attack over and over again. this will prevent the opponent from escaping. it works cuz my brother uses it on me >:(
@cas123321 Also a good strategy to use against an opponent whom is basic and doesn't really use advanced tactics. When he's firing of a barrage of attacks, roll to his opposite side, grab him, and throw him down, then grab him again, this time throwing him to the left or right. sprint over to him, grab him again and throw him until he reaches the edge, then when he's on the edge, grab him, throw him off and apply edge guarding tactics.
I use Link in SSBB & I find that using bombs to get the smash ball helps. Bombs can be used to trick your opponents too e.g. getting out a bomb then throw the boomerang to stun someone then throwing the bomb to cause damage followed by a quick series of slahes.
Yeahhhh, IGN needs to quit reviewing games like this. They don't spend enough time with the individual characters to give accurate and full accounts of their abilities, strengths, and weaknesses.
oh common i already know all these (and if u ar a link ssbb fan the bomeran trhow its very helpfull) but if ur figthing big guys like ganondorf or bowser the perfect and anoying move its the jab cancel (how to performance it) the easy way to do it its pressing "y" (cause its more easy than jump with the normal way) make sure that u do a little jump and then use ur jab(press z) that its a great move...
@Thunderstyla i doubt it xD but it is about the player too but still link doesnt have much going for him =/ i just hate how he cant jump cause if he gets hit just a little too far over he really cant recover U_U
well its safe to say link is one of the coolest but WORST characters in brawl they completely fucked up his awsomeness link has terrible speed power and jumping ability plus he cant take much damage at all the only good thing going for him is his dodge skill but still there are better dadgers in the game =/
@ghmj95 not even close hes one of the worst but hes still awsome cause he looks cool and stuff but link has terrrible speed power and jumping in brawl =/
@Thunderstyla LMAO my friend first said "link sux dont use him" i proved him wrong! now hes using link :) now my new fav char is toon link(becuz much faster) sadly someone stole his game and now we cant play it -.-
I laughed when I realized that my best character in brawl was like the 2nd to worst character in the tier list. All you need to do though i just keep them at bay with range and then finish with a quick sword attack. *shrugs*
heavy with armor? he has a lot of armor alright but i don't get the whole heavy thing. i find that he's not the fastest character but he has pretty decent speed. he has a lot of weapons in terms of projectile, good power, decent speed, good reach, and best of all his forward smash move can do two hits. he's a very well rounded character with few weaknesses. not sure about the "combos" in this video because those are like common knowledge.
Heavy because he has alot of items with him. you try carrying a bow, tons of arrows, tons of bombs, a heavy sheild, a heavy sword, etc etc all at once.
Link sure is an low tier, but doesnt mean he suck hairy,blue Sonic asses. He is powerfuller with his S-Smash than Toon Link, but as known, Link is wearing armour, making movement slower. So my opinion is, TIERS ARE FOR QUEERS!!
I currently main toon link, but i do very well with link.
This may be shocking but i dont even have a wii. All my friends own brawl, and i have melee. thats where i get my skill, id like to challenge you if i ever do get a wii and brawl.
Yea i feel ya, The first time i played Brawl was with a group of people, and i was beating people who had already been playing it for a good week or 2. I had to get used to the speed difference and timing. After that, i was owning =].
@TigerSlashX marth isnt guarenteed. theres a VERY rare chance of it hitting the very small sourspot hitbox. see my video (Marth's Final Smash) quite interesting.
@TigerSlashX Ganon also has a guaranteed final smash. Anywas marh was at zero when link did his smash, I bet even if he was a twenty it would have been ko
Link is my favorite character( next to Mario)and he has the best Final Smash! I like his gameplay better in this game better than the previous smash bros especially in the first smash bros.
@jr8126 this video ruined link D= see izaw's guide on link, and links final smash isnt considered the best XD, check izaws for awesome techniques, such as the ZAIR and DACUS ^_^
