Projectiles

How do you prioritize TL's projectiles in terms of utility to your playstyle? Personally I ***** his arrows more than anything else. Bow cancelling opens up so many follow up options, as well as it becomes a follow up option itself. After that, it's Bombs then boomerangs.

[QUIVO]

I usually throw a bomb, then a boomerang up. So if they dodge a bomb, they're either shielding or jumping in the air. The boomerang hits them if they jumped. If they dont jump, they either got hit by the bomb or will come running at you, at this point i follow up with an arrow and stop them. Of course this is mixed around from time to time so they don't catch onto patterns.

Also, I use projectiles as an approach. Usually I'll follow up after a boomerang or bomb since it causes just enough stun. If it hits, then I attack them with a nair since it comes out fast and has decent range.

Boomerang, then Bombs, then arrows. A boomerang and a bomb can save your ***, but arrows should only be used if a good oppurtunity opens up, or you have already thrown your boomerand and have a bomb in hand

Im sorta using bombs a tad less due 2 how easy it is 2 4 yur oppenent 2 grab em. Arrowz ftw!

It depends on the opponent's character for me. With aggressive fast characters, bow+arrows and bombs are better for me.

Boomerang mostly for me. Good for approaches, stalling and just generally being a nuisance. Mostly though I find the boomerang the best since it has the most options in terms of directions you can throw it.

Bombs are my main weapon. You have more control over them, and they're a bigger opener than anything else. If you throw a bomb that hits first, you can Dair the crap out of anyone. I like the boomerang, too. It stops a lot of sideB attacks (Pikachu, Ike) and arrows last, probably should use them more.

I think boomerang is the best projectile thats why i use it most of the time. Then bombs and arrows.

The boomerang would have to be my first pick. It's so versatile and takes no charge-up/stall to use (arrow isn't effective at long distance and you have to pull a bomb). It's wonderful for ending a combo while giving you time to land, or stopping a combo cold, and usually travels a lot farther than your opponent thinks it will.

That said, does anyone use the Hookshot in the air? It's got enough knockback that no one with a longer sword can hit you, and has almost no start-up lag.

[thewiredknight]

I sometimes use the air hookshot but not a lot. It has such short range (in comparison tos omething like Samus's grappel) that sometimes I find it better to just get in there and attack. Alternatively sometimes I just throw the boomerang at that range and use that as my opening for some other moves.

Hookshot is good situationally but I think the boomerang is a better option.

[TriforceCore]

SHDArrows, Bombs, then Boomerang in that order and I throw in the Hookshot for the surprise KO( SHZair into FSmash) luvs it!

I love boomerangs personally. I take advantage of boomerangs to punish people for dodging or throw over someone and have it hit them on the way back, allowing for a free smash.
Arrows- I use to slow movements and stop people running or rolling/biking at me. It gives me a nice tip of damage, and it gets them into timing the arrow dodges that I can follow up with a physical assault.
Bombs- Most useful tool ever, chuck them up, down, right, left, or hold them till the blow up for free recovery/ungrab. (I hold onto bombs, let myself get grabbed when I have life advantage)
I also use the boomerang as a way to punish grabbers. Keeping a boomerang out, allows it to return and nail the crap out of whoever grabbed you.
