Gale Boomerang: Difference between revisions

'''Gale Boomerang''' ({{ja|疾風のブーメラン|Shippū no Būmeran}}, ''Hurricane's Boomerang'') is a [[special move]] used by [[Link]].

The Gale Boomerang [[wind|drags]] opponents towards Link, dealing no damage at all. If used properly, the player can string a number of different attacks following the boomerang's retrieving tornado. Link's side standard smash would be the most favorable attack of choice, as it would cancel the knockback allowing the second hit to connect. Link's down smash - if used with correct timing - can also damage opponents with both hits, causing a significantly larger amount of [[damage]]. Care has to be taken with this technique, though; as the Gale Boomerang doesn't do damage while dragging opponents, the opponent can also take the chance to prepare their own attack while being drawn towards Link. The Gale Boomerang is also capable of throwing large items forward and bringing small items toward Link.

# '''[[Boomerang]]''': A variation that lacks the wind effect, functioning identically to games prior to ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Brawl]]''. It is stronger than the default version, but it loses the ability to pull objects and opponents towards Link.

#: In {{forwiiu}}, this variation is a [[List of challenges (SSB4-Wii U)|Challenge]] unlock, only obtainable by scoring at least 50 KOs in [[Endless Smash]] while playing as Link.
