Link (SSB): Difference between revisions

Like {{SSB|Samus}}, Link can use his bombs to aid his [[recovery]].  However, unlike {{SSB|Samus}}, Link must use a bit of technical skill and timing.  While recovering, one should pull out a bomb and drop it slowly below Link, then continue to DI towards the [[stage]], and use a back aerial.  This will cause Link to explode toward the platform.  One should then use his [[Up B]] and land back safely.  Note that Link will not be able to grab the [[edge]] because the explosion causes him to face the other direction.  To counter this, one must throw his [[boomerang]] before using his [[Up B]]. This technique is extremely situational and difficult to perform. Despite the difficulty of pulling off the technique, it does not greatly help Link's recovery.

A technique popularized by {{Sm|Kort}} involving a set up of positioning a bomb for a boomerang hit as an edgeguarding technique. The technique requires Link to throw a bomb on stage opposite to where the enemy is (preferably when the enemy is offstage), followed by a toss of a boomerang against the bomb, causing the boomerang to 1) ricochet flying in the opposite direction towards the enemy, 2) accelerate at a faster speed then the previous speed then initially thrown, and finally 3) will go through Link without causing Link to catch the boomerang, allowing for Link to reduce lag caused by the grab of a returning boomerang.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLEqW5gOSVA</ref>
