Toon Link (SSBB): Difference between revisions

'''Toon Link''' ({{ja|トゥーンリンク|Tūn Rinku}}, ''Toon Link'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. He was revealed on March 28th, 2008. He is a semi-clone of {{SSBB|Link}}, and thus has some similar moves but different attributes.

Toon Link is ranked 13th on the [[tier list]] at the top of the mid-high tier, making this his best placement in the series. Toon Link's biggest asset is his variety of versatile [[projectile]]s, which when combined with his great [[jump]]ing ability and air mobility, gives him one of the strongest [[camp]]ing abilities and makes him one of the most difficult characters to [[approach]]. Toon Link additionally has a strong aerial game, with the aforementioned efficient jumping and aerial mobility, and access to fast, powerful [[aerial attack]]s, in addition to a damaging [[zair]], which is useful for keeping opponents at a distance and setting up subsequent attacks. Toon Link also has two great [[combo]] starters in his [[up tilt]] and [[back aerial]] that can combo into themselves, a far reaching and relatively safe [[recovery]], and strong approaching capabilities from his fast movement speed and projectiles. Toon Link however suffers from underwhelming [[KO]]ing ability, possessing finishers that aren't very powerful with short reach, or in the case of his [[up smash]], being too predictable while lacking strong enough traits to make up for it. Toon Link additionally possesses short [[reach]] throughout his moveset, and a very punishable [[grab]] that lacks the reach to make up for its high [[ending lag]] (in addition to possessing rather poor [[throw]]s). Toon Link overall has strong [[matchup]]s (with his only {{b|counter|matchup}} being {{SSBB|Meta Knight}}), and has achieved above average [[tournament]] results (which have been especially strong in Meta Knight-banned tournaments).

*[[Neutral attack]]:

**{{buff|The third hit of Toon Link's neutral attack has a larger hitbox.}}

***{{nerf|Toon Link's neutral attack overall has less damage potential.}}

**{{nerf|The first hit of Toon Link's neutral attack has a shorter duration (frames 6-8 → 6-7).}}

|fsmashdesc=Toon Link pulls back and swings his sword in front of him. When the [[A button|attack button]] is pressed again, he does another slash. The first slash leads into the second, with good horizontal knockback.

|dsmashname= 

|fsdmg=5% (trapping), 4% (hits 1-15), 18% (hit 16)

|fsdesc=Toon Link locks onto an opponent and proceeds to slash them repeatedly with his Master Sword. A luminous image of the Triforce appears around the opponent as Toon Link slashes them. The final strike launches the opponent.
