Link and Toonlink technique: quickdraw (bow cancel)

[Antb356]

iknow this sounds like a bad strategy but it actually works well for team matches to set up oppenents and put them in the air: i first hammer them from abuv with down+b then start whipping out bombs and dropping them from above then dash inbetween enemies, throw boomerang off screen (if possible) and use up+b to bring them all in. extremely good for setting up final smashes like links and zelda's as the enemy can't move =P this has tech has scared my friends b4 they got mad at me

[nikolllaz]

Loved de music, so classic :3

[DefendinMyBase]

To be honest, the only reason I really watched the whole thing was the music. :3

[DimensionKnightX]

awesome teq.

[TheForgottenMarioBro]

the quickdraw+bomb is actually quite useful

[dragzz1]

am i the only one on youtube that use the wii mote held sideways??

[TheForgottenMarioBro]

@dragzz1

Nope, I do. Play the game it was ment to be played.

[dragzz1]

@TheForgottenMarioBro Thank you!!

[TheForgottenMarioBro]

@dragzz1 No prob.

[lexos1993]

kinda found out, you know when you succesfully quickdraw if link / toonlink has his shield in hand when he draws and shoots the bow.

[dardull]

yeah it like this with all projectile shooting characters, they shoot faster in the air

[Super1337star]

How are you controlling the CPU? I noticed Toon Link still has the CPU thing over him while you're doing this stuff.

[KEKInc]

@ Super1337star: It's training mode. You can have the CPU character be controlled by a level 1-9 computer, lay idle except recovery (default), dodge or be controlled by P2.

[PSPsongs]

srry if this is late, but this is training mode, you probably figured that out already

[killstealer4]

Reminds me of how in SSBM there was Falco's SHL and Fox's SHDL.

Gotta learn this for TL.

[Tranisdaman]

I loved the quickdraw with toon link and the SH arrow. Now i can spam arrows faster than pit =P

[MEGAGUY21]

LOL made shift bomb arrows?

[pamelahubbard]

nice vid

[lightsageala]

aw, thought this would be about some one hit kill move because in TP link has a instant kill move called "quick draw"

[Dyclonecyclone]

actually that is his fsmash if you look at it right you will see it

[gamelord]

Press your jump button lightly to shorthop, or tilt more lightly.

[sk8rdude321]

stupid question but how do u short hop?

[MarthMaster59K]

jump with the control stick as fast as possible. This should be lower than regular jumping if done right.

[nenshoukun]

or just dont be stupid and tap x

[NitsujRayrf]

Thanks for showing this. But whats the purpose tho? just some quick, damage?

[Strykethelight]

Spacing, damage, leads into more comboing. Regular slow drawing doesn't cut it.

[ALYSSAVAMPIRESLAYA]

well this isnt obvious and i didnt use this the second time i played toon link

[Bibleonian]

Why doesn't it work with Toon Link's boomerang?

[sasuke2277]

toon links is kinda slow to throw

[howard2706]

lol.... no its because he lower to grond to start

[TwistHelix]

scrub >_>

[keilohaki]

Cool. :-l

[N00Br101]

Ok question hw do you get the short hope double arrow i can't my second arrow is not caneld and if i want to do it i have to bring my other hand on the controller and push be as soon as jump!!!

[sasukebowsermatches]

Get faster fingers.

It takes practice.

[keilohaki]

Thats hella stupid. Haha who didnt know that. Once you play Link like I do, you own the principles, and his whole gravitational presence in every match. "About Face" And who ever uses bombs are dumb. I completely eliminated that move from my "About Face" skills. :-) I make this shit look like a movie when I smash on fools.

[N00Br101]

lol wow you are the biggest poser i ever seen not saying im better but really no one care so SHUT THE FUCK UP AND LET US PLAY AND BOMBS ARE VERRY USFEL ACUALLY YOUR JUST TO N00Bish to know that!!!

[sasukebowsermatches]

Rofl, don't use a move in this game that actually has stun.

Nice idea.

[djfiliroony]

hey hey have u got a ssbb clan plz answer back

[FizzyTaco]

Hah it's like a bomb arrow

[toonlinkking777]

You did reverse's but didnt mention them in tutorial. thats important.

[sokihagiwara]

nice

[hdrevolution123]

Thank you so much!

[darianf68]

does it apply to melee

[dvader999]

kinda, look it up on SWF

[VanRiet19]

That trick is called arrow cancel. Thanks brother i did't know how to do an arrow cancel.

[GitaaHiiroo]

how are you playing as the cpu? lol

[havockz22]

fucking retard he is at the training mode -.-

[dunno90]

JAJAJAAJJA

[Zeethr]

thats one of the best songs in the legend of zelda series. gerudo valley rocks

[jaigoda]

Quick tip I've noticed while doing the SH double arrows: The key to a good SHDA is getting the first arrow out as fast as possible. The sooner you get the first arrow out, the more time you'll have to get the second out. The way I found most useful is using Y to jump an setting X to special, and tapping Y and ALMOST IMMEDIATELY hitting X.

Hope this helps for people working on it!

[UnGato7]

I'm going to practice that right now.  And thanks for having a Brawl technique video that doesn't involve a camera held by someone with Parkinsons for once.

[talkingdog]

intersting....works good wen you wanna do some cumulitive damage

[gingermagicman]

good but does it work charged

[klops1989]

No, because the animation of pulling the arrow out is cancelled. Charging while jumping has the same effect, as you can the arrow let go immediatly.

[ToonLinksMaster]

Thats kind of....well obvious

[JingBom]

Pretty helpful :)

[nahor88]

I'm having some real trouble doing this with TL's short hop. Not the quickdraw itself, but the double arrow. I can never seem to get the timing right. I'll fire the first arrow, but I can't get the 2nd arrow fired in time to do a quickdraw. When exactly should you fire the first arrow to do it effectively? I've already developed excellent control on his aerials, if I can get this, I'll be tournament level.

[NighthawkBrawlingPro]

Well it helps if you use the control stick to double arrow.

[nahor88]

Hmm... that could be a problem. I always prefer to turn tap jump off, that way I can do Snakedashing and Linkdashing. And I've had it off for a long time now. Do you use the control stick, or is there a way to time it so you can just jump with x or y?

[togaboy]

I turn tap jump off. I use either x or y, just depends where my thumb is at the time.

[NighthawkBrawlingPro]

really i find it really hard to double arrow with it off.

also with the control stick on you can run then turn around for a reverse double arrow.

its basically a moonwalk double arrow its so sexy. and a great way to show off.

[NighthawkBrawlingPro]

Wait turing off tap jump makes it easier to boost smash?

I use the control stick so i can do the moonwalked double arrow.

Well if you double arrow with X or Y then you must have fast ass fingers.

[kunaimstr]

how do you double arrow?

[NighthawkBrawlingPro]

Well you short hop and shoot an arrow and realy quickly shoot another one.

It shows you in the vid.

[NighthawkBrawlingPro]

I use the control stick

so i can do the reverse double arrow

[HGClark]

@nahor88 you can still dacus with tap jump

[nahor88]

@HGClark

you can, but for me its harder. Thus I always enter my gamer tag so I can turn tap jump off, doesn't matter who I'm playing, could be my sister.

[PPXEXE]

Dude this tech is so old, you can do it in 64, with the bomb, and the down stab with link, try making something, that has better recovery time, and can be use in a fight beside falling into some one else attack

[nahor88]

Who gives a fuck if its old?  It's still damn useful, and plenty of people don't really know about it.

[NighthawkBrawlingPro]

So whats your point?

[Link4everOot]

wow my sister gets mad every time i try that because im mauling her with arrow bombs and boomerangs oh my

[friedchicken39]

Best technique EVER!

I quick draw out the ass now as both of them ^_^

With this tech Link is actually fast!

[NighthawkBrawlingPro]

Best technique EVER!

I quick draw out the ass now as both of them ^_^

With this tech Link is actually fast!

[ooooooMATToooooo]

i thought u can onley fast fall if you do 2 jumps

[playboy1103]

HOW TO DO FASTFALL?!

[NeoUzzy]

Press down at the peek of your jump ..

[K00lza]

yeah i main toon link and i found this too, and i was like "wow i can practically L-cancel. I use it all the time but it is too hard on wi-fi cuz of the slight lag.

[NighthawkBrawlingPro]

Yea dude i had problems online too. but then i got used to and i RAPE in with anyone.

[K00lza]

Yea same, Toon Link FTW? Yes?

lol do you want to add me i want another good toon link to train with.

[NighthawkBrawlingPro]

ooo gladly tho you may beat me lol

but yea i dont have a wii but if you pm me your friend code when i go my buddy's house then we can fight.

[harb37]

Thanks a lot for contributing this.

[Gregb0x]

P.S. When you say that this can be done after a jump or shorthop, can this be done from being hit up and landing?

[theguycalledchris]

Yes, as long as you have returned to neutral falling animation before trying to quickdraw (E.g stopped reeling from the attack)

[Gregb0x]

I think quickdraw is a more fitting name than bow/arrowcancel.

[lexos1993]

fantastic! really gonna help me improve my toon link techniques, two tumbs up

[theguycalledchris]

Yep me too now I just need to figure out how to do the bair to dair backwards combo (he always falls too fast for me D=)

[SkAnkydoOdle]

nice one

[sahuaro]

nice moves, I like the double arrow short hop of toon link, its seems really good for stopping enemies that like to rush head-on a lot. (Ike user and a rusher head-on lover, lol)

[Kryptopyro13]

Wow, this will certainly be... useful... >:]

[ZABUZA1080]

godd vid sure that arrow cancelling is very usefull

[cradmazy]

ignore the n00bs

great video. great job.

[tehdewrag]

omg... u can do more than one move in one short hop

big deal

believe we knew this a long time ago when moves need to be auto lcanceld instead of pressing l or r to l-cancel like in melee

gg

[Toesrus]

auto l-cancel is much different. you know nothing.

gg

[kame789]

thanks

[furyberserk]

This is also called arrowcanceling in another video. What is with the people naming almost everything in Brawl with "canceling" Quickattack canceling, arrow canceling and evin dash canceling(to run after you land without any lag). Canceling seems to be getting either old or cool.

[chungt]

reminds me of samus's last second missile from melee.

does it cancel link's landing lag?

[SunDragon93]

Quickdraw is ike's b over move.

[SmashingOblivion]

lol toon link= legolas XD

[nahor88]

All pro Toon Link users so far make high usage of this technique. Like said below, its great for hitstun so you can follow with a sword attack. Only thing is that its much easier to short hop with Link than Toon Link. On that note, Link's sh plus sex kick is a great move to stave off opponents, cuz it has high priority. With TL, you can sh then follow with a series of fairs, a good combo. Even better near the edge cuz then you can spike!

[Hayato0373]

Great Job i love using Link ( yes he isnt the best but hes LINK! ) and this helped me out. Thanks Man =D

Keep it up!

[TheboxKid]

hey you could quick draw with falco and fox too

[kuriboh125]

hey does anyone know how link did the bair and shot the arrow backwards afterwards? 1:09

[togaboy]

do your backair and then just before shooting the arrow, tap the direction you want it to go (but don't hold the direction otherwise it'll be the boomerang). GL

[XxMinatoNamikazexX]

this proves toon link is better

[IkeFtw3]

I already know how to do it, but it is very useful for combos because the arrow causes some hitstun to slow down your enemy to follow uo with a s smash

[Todaipower]

very nice

[GGMcCants]

hey togaboy, those three match links in your description are now obsolete, as the videos have been removed, just to let you know.

[togaboy]

thanks dude. i'll take them down.

[Pokeslick]

Thanks mate. NEEDMOARTOONLINKTECHS.

[Pulgopac]

cool a tech in brawl

[skipper2003]

I find the Double arrow with Toon link to be very difficult. It seems like it would be very easy but I seem to press it too slow....I even tried pressing jump with one hand and mashing B with another in training and it still almost never worked.......is the timing that fast or am I missing something here?

[jamduke]

You don't mash it. You time it. Go to training in 1/4 speed and after you shoot the first arrow, look at TL's feet. When they come together you press again.

[NarutoMasterNo1]

sweet! thanks a lot! i play toon link. major help!

[sasukebowserpikachu]

Damn that awesome

[UsurperKingZant]

The new SHL has been discovered!!!1!! Link and Wind Waker Link: Top tier FTW... to a point.

[Dihgal]

There's still lag from it. This is not similar to SHL but more similar to Bowser's firebreath startup cancel in Melee.

[dragonmaster951753]

toon link obviously he is a beast, and well wind waker... he is good really good when everyone had all their characters unlocked i went online and still beat them with link until i unlocked toon link so they both should be top tier

[AlexbyJC]

Awesome technique, thanks for the vid and description. This is very useful for the Links, and I'll use it (as T.L.) for spacing, mindgames, and creating an opening for my bombs.

[Project005]

Awesome. Now I can be even more annoying with T.Link.

[brawlpro]

Lol toga comin with teh tekniquez!

[Ilyak1986]

It doesn't look that great to me. While the animation is seemingly no longer there, it seems to me that if you do that "quickdraw" then you're lagged on the ground for the duration of the draw anyway--you just don't see it. It may be nice for mindgames, but I still think the lag is every bit there as much as it was without the trick.

I could be wrong of course, but it just looks like that to me, unless you paused for some amount of time between landing/jumping aerial in some app demos.

[thunddr]

song name?

[togaboy]

it's the gerudo valley theme from ocarina of time

[paperman110]

sorry to say but this has already been discovered. You can do that with any aerial just as long as u do it rite before killing the ground.

[togaboy]

have the url? I searched. also this is a video showing the technique and its uses, not patenting it, retard.

[EmberShade194]

OH NOES! Brawl has a meta-game already!

[jamduke]

People complain that the arrow is slow, but I like it because it goes far. Awesome stuff with the Bomb throw. It also seems like Falco's SHL

[JugoCitrico]

change the title please, quickdraw is ike's over B move.

[togaboy]

How about: Link's quickdraw. lol. fanboy.

[geez021]

Now, take this technique with wave bouncing and then you have one great defensive option.

[Franco55]

nice find

[matthewmilad]

It looks infinitely better on Toon Link. His arrows are a lot better, and his overall options look a lot better too.

[Tekami]

this is awesome

[SINISTERSIRUS]

Very impressive, thx for the info.

[arkivezero]

nice stuff

[CoreyBH]

You bastard, when were you gunna tell me about this?
