This trick has probably already been mentioned, but I have not exactly seen it anywhere. The closest thing I saw to this was in Aether's Toon Link guide. He said:
"Bomb canceled D-air - With the correct timing, from almost any height, and at the cost of a little percentage, you can minimize the lag on your D-air by throwing a bomb downward, and then D-airing into the explosion. If timed correctly, you'll have the ability to whiff a D-air and not have to sit around for half an hour while T. Link takes his sword out of the ground. If you hit, generally it's a bomb followed by a D-air so your opponent is hurting."
Well that got me thinking. A toon link could z drop a bomb before trying to dair spike an opponent. If he missed the opponent, he would run into his bomb and cancel his downward momentum, thus avoiding plummeting to his doom. The bomb would also force the opponent to have to dodge a projectile. If they did not dodge the bomb, it would make it even easier to land the dair spike. So, I believe that this would make the dair an easy ledge guard technique. You could just stand on the ledge and when an opponent approaches short hop and z drop a bomb, then land and short hop again into your dair off the ledge. I hope that this is new and helpful to all you toon link mains out there.
