Toon Link

We're a small community based on Super Smash Bros. Brawl. We have a ranking system, but it doesn't matter.

That's right, the rankings are like the Wii Remote Jacket: nobody cares.

If you're seeing this, that means you're a guest, which means you either haven't signed up or you haven't signed in. Unfortunately, we've had to disable guest posting, so if you want to contribute to our community, you'll need to have an account. If you make a new account with us, you'll be limited to posting in the Beginners forum. Once you make just one post there, you'll become a full-fledged member, and you can post wherever (and almost whatever) you want.

We look forward to brawling with you!

I think it's odd that with his smashes, the first time he does it is not as strong as the second time (when he yells HAH).....maybe Link is the same way and I just haven't noticed (don't play a lot with Link). My only two gripes is the name (WW Link couldn't work?) and his FS. Seriously, we could have had lots of things...like those three islands from WW (the three goddess ones) would just show up in the background shooting lasers and what not...

Anyways, I really enjoy Toon Link; probably my 4th favourite character right now after Luigi, Ike, and Pokemon Trainer (Though I also really like Lucas and Zelda as well). His smashes are for some reason better than Link's, though he has weaker projectiles (the opposite of Young Link, ironically). Not to mention, he has good taunts, victory poses, and probably the best alt. colours in the game (Dark Toon Link, Four Swords Colours, and CLASSIC NES/SNES/GB LINK!)

The aerial down A is amazing. He can move during it unlike kirby, and can hit multiple times...unlike Kirby. Also hes not a rock for like five seconds after.

You don't need to wait it out. My main problem is the extreme downward motion of it. It's not like with Link where you can actually move places rather than having to hit first to move freely again.

AMAZINGJOBSQUIRTLE Posts: 1,947 Group: Forum Leader Member #9 Joined: December 5, 2007 Friend Code 4983 4600 7715	I've noticed that as long as you have some upward force acting with you (momentum from a jump, hit by an attack, etc.), you won't actually go down, but pull off the Y. Link-style attack. That doesn't really help, though. =/ But yeah, I have no problem with Toon Link (he's my fourth main now, after Mario, Pikachu, and Ike), but that one move just isn't within my realm of playing. Which is interesting, as I'll have to find a way to make my air-to-ground approach better with him.

Advanced Member Posts: 810 Group: Referee Member #29 Joined: March 18, 2008	Haha, Bowser did that to me once while I was Toon Link... Hit me up and I used the down a aerial, I went down slower then anything. However you can cancel the aerial...

What's great is that you can play him both long-range (Vyse loves his projectiles) or close-range (Vyse also loves his Master Sword... and I'm more of a close-range kind of guy, so this suits me). If you think about it, most of the characters whom people were iffy about being in the game turned out to be awesome. Snakey, Wolfy, Olimary, and Toon Linky, just to name a few.
