Good team partners for tink

[greatness_007]

So i plan to team with a toon link (The Jerm)at a upcoming tourney and i was wondering what characters do u toon links see as a good partners. Of course there's always metaknight lol but give me some feedback please.

[iRjOn]

Since you main Kirby use him
Suck him up and name your team Double Arrow.
XD
Seriously Kirby & TL work great together.

wolf

[TheJerm]

The MK combo worked well gnes. But Kirby doesnt seem like it would be too bad.

[DCStyle]

Kirby.

Extra arrows, extra jumps/recovery, down b to save off ledge.

[Shadow Moth]

I would imagine Link because his moves are basically the same as TL's except where one's moves fall short, the other's picks up the slack (a prime example would be Fsmash)

It'd be better to have a wider variety/compatibility than same move set...unless you're planning to spam all the way or something.

TL racks up damage while someone kills. Good tag team imo.

[Shadow Moth]

LOL dude. Link is where all of Toon's killing potential went, thus making it a fair and balanced game in Sakurai's opinion. LAWLZORZ

[Alzi]

A friend and I have been using toon link and link on teams on some wi fi friendlies and it seems to be working well. They also suit eachother so you get +1 points.

[SmokeyBBQ]

Yes Link and Toon Link work very well. You only have to watch Deva and Chip to see that.

[KunaiX]

be careful my english sucks hard xd

In my opinion, Luigi is one of the best teammate who can get TL. The reason is that you can Mixup very well. Luigi for AirGame and TL for ground + air. You should know that you can perform a hyper wavedash with Luigi and Tink.

Tink should be behind Luigi and should perform a Dair beside Luigi. Luigi should make a fsmash at this time. After you get the knockback of Tinks dair you will slide about the complete stage xD...

Its for crazy mindgames xD and its very fast as well.

[Shadow Moth]

It's good for getting people to the edge but that trick most likely will not work after you use it once.
I stand by Link and Toon still. Their boomerangs work so well together.

Yeah im just tryin to keep an open mind...im in it to win it :)

So far im hearin kirby, link, wolf, luigi...im more proficient with kirby and luigi so ill check those two out...since the tourney will be infested with meta's i dont think link and wolf are viable.

Anymore thoughts???

[TLMSheikant]

MY team mate kewk uses kirby and ZSS. Mostly Kirby and it seems to work for me. ZSS isnt that bad either. She can down smash to a dair from tink.

[Drig786]

Definetly kirby

[rebd121]

Lucario works well with Toon Link.

[Bomber7]

I found working with a friend who knows your moves and you know theirs works well or working with an overall awseom person that can work with anyone. I'm pretty easy to work with, I use bombs and its pretty easy to control, PT however is a different story.

[rebd121]

Teamplay is all about playing to your teammate's strengths and covering their weaknesses. Any character who can do both sufficiently in regard to Toon Link would make a great partner, but it comes down to player synergy a lot of the time.

[sasukebowser]

tink is a Melee player.

._.

[rebd121]

tink is a Melee player.

._.

IRRELEVANT! Or not. OBJECTION?!

I dunno.

[copacetic]

I used to do double with a Kirby and it worked out very well. Now I'm with an Ike which actually works out nicely, but mostly because we know each other extremely well. Plus z-airing someone into Ike's f-smash to kill them at 30% is very satisfying

[TLMSheikant]

Oh, Game and Watch imo is a good team partner too. I mean, Toon Link racks damage while he nets those kills. Hes one of the best damage rackers out there too.

@ OP- I can see this thread closed by Chip already for some reason. U should have asked at the inquiry thread.

[TLMarth]

Someone with kill power.

Ike somehow sounds nice, kill power, slowness covered up for by some quick hit 'n' run.

[oOJaseOo]

kirby but failing that lucas one cause then your a team of lill blond boys and two lucas is fast and dam powerfull and doesnt get the praise he deserves

[3rd Ice Climber]

Ness is a good partner,Ness can use his PK fire to trap the opponent,then toon link can use his D Smash,and use air combos,then ness can use PK thunder to kill.
:D

[F00LY]

I'm going to go with Marth. I'll give some quick reasons why.

Camping Play: Works especially well with platforms (Battlefield), but is not necessary. Marth can serve as a "wall" to protect the TL. Dancing Blade, OOS Dolphin Slash, fSmash, retreating / approuching SH fAirs, all work well to keep the opponent at bay as the TL SH Arrows, bomb throws, angled boomerangs, etc. Should they try to approach from above, a quick RAR bAir or bomb toss works wonders as well. Easy damage rack up if you're opponent isn't playing safely. Working together this can be used as a solid approuch at times as well.

Saving each others ***: TL is GREAT for saving a partner that's about to die. Should your Marth friend screw up, get knocked away, come into danager, even mid fight with another opponent, a slap of the directional stick in the opposite direction to shoot an arrow can EASILY save a returning Marth's ***, give him access to an additional DS should he have screwed up, etc.

Kill potential: Most important, Marth has several quick kill options. Between Dancing Blade and fAir, his fSmash, uSmash and Dolphin Slash all probably won't be diminished. TL should still play somewhat reserved, but in the early stocks at least kill potential isn't too much of a problem. You can just focus on using whatever to rack on the damage so long as your Marth knows when to go for the kill. Also well timed Bombs/Rangs/Arrows/zAir not only help setup a kill move for Marth, but should he miss or get power shielded could quickly save him from some hefty % punishment. You're also essentially doubling the range of Marth's fSmash if you trap your opponent between you and zAir space properly.

Also things to note about this is while Marth may not have projectiles, his aerial maneuverability works great to avoid a competent TLs projectiles. Also between the two of them, every single attack is a disjointed hit box. While neither of things are really overly important, they DO add some advantages now and then over the less maneuverable / forced to approach characters.

[sasukebowser]

Marths not much of a reliable killer or good in teams in general.

[F00LY]

Disagreement is good! Haha I see. Well, perhaps its because me and my partners synergy is so good, but we've tried a ton of combinations of either of our mains/secondaries/tertiaries etc and it always comes back to TL+Marth being the most reliable combo for covering one another's weaknesses.

[sasukebowser]

Hey, whatever works for you. =)
While it may not be the best combination for most people, if you find a way for it to work well, go for it.

[labrand7]

of course kirby

[Ashraf23]

I team up with Bengalsrz all the time since we know each other. And maybe we just work well but Marth is good to team up with.

[damezguy]

k guys what do you think of olimar and toon link? i got a doubles tournament coming up and im doing it with my friend, who is a very good olimar. is olimar a good or bad partner, and if so how?

Oh and btw our first opponents will be an ike and lucas, if that helps at all.

[Darktemplio]

so far IMO the best team mate is wario. you can projectile spam like crazy since Warios movements allow him to freely move thru everything you throw. combos are a lot easier to pull off between Tlink and Wario. If hes getting chained grabbed to grab release etc etc, you easily end that by bombing. Wario has good control in both air and ground and so does toon link so you can take turns controlling air and ground. just too good of a teammate.

As another opition, theres always snake. toon link racks up a bunch of damage, snake keeps everyone away with forward tilts. then when the time is right you send snake to up tilt while u stand behind him throwing projectiles over him to keep people from jumping. also a good combination imo.

and to damezguy ^ ive played with an olimar as a team mate and it actually works out quite well. Not my favorite option but it works. Just make sure to always and i mean ALWAYS keep an eye on your teammate and when you feel hes about to get gimped make sure to get your butt towards where he is and make sure no gimpage takes place. you have to be able to predict this well though.

[QUIVO]

I think for me, it'd be someone who can kill well. Last tourny i teamed with os and he was dying wayyy too fast, I was just stock tanking. We still won, but I don't think I played on par and he was getting like 4-5 kills a game.

Interesting that you said wario. A really good wario wanted to team with me. He said it would be rape. And TL snake , i'm sure its pretty beastly.

[Santi]

Bowser/Ganon/CF

[toondiddy]

i would imagine dk

[Darktemplio]

Yea definitely go with that wario. Ive been teaming with a really good wario player and we've been raping florida tourneys. And both playstyles coexists so well that theres really no need to practice together.
