Tips about TL's dash+ faster run

[Mystic101]

If you have fooled around with TL dash you may have noticed this but i decided to make a chat about it becaue it is usefull.

Toonlinks dash starts fast and his run is a little* slower for testing ty going on lightning +small mode and dash you will see an exagerated difference

the reason this is important is because there is a portion near the begining of your dash animation where you cannot turn around fast(exluding dash dancing speed) but can only buff a slow turn around this becomes important for 2 reasons.

essentialy you must be a certian distance from the opponent in order to complete a dash into b-airs properly, you need to practace your spacing options.

The next thing that is imprtant is how to run FASTER if you buff a back and forward during your dash animation (where you cannot turn around fast) you can repeatedly dash, this is all timing but when you get it down to the right frames consistantly can slightly help your speed.

I apologize if I just didn't get it, but what was the main concept of this thread/ reason for it? I don't really get what you mean by running FASTER...Do you mean quick starting speed?

There is no way you can go from a Dash Attack into a Bair.
Toon Link's DA is horrible. It gives so little stun at low percents, that opponents can hit you EVEN IF YOU LAND IT.


For the second portion, hes taking about when you press front and back really fast and do that "dash dance" thing. I don't think thats the name for it, but whatever. It's really not important and people just use it to keep their reflexes sharp.

The name is actually dashdancing.

Yay, <3 Sonic's spasmtastic movement.

[Fox Is Openly Deceptive]

Wait, is he just talking about Fox trotting? ('Run Faster' 'repeatedly dash')
I don't think he's talking about dash dancing (which is just continuously turning around on the spot) and I didn't see him mention Dash Attack. He said Dash, but he means the initial Dash animation of the run, not dash attack.

What I think he's saying is, by Fox trotting, Toon can travel faster then his normal run. which is known, sorry.

[Shadow Moth]

It sounds like fox trotting to me too, Fox.

[Pho]

He's explaining that during the initial dash, the only attack that can be done is the dash attack. Meaning, during all those fox trots, that's what your limited to DURING the dash animation. He is just warning people of that.

[TLMSheikant]

:/ I still dont get what hes trying to say...

[Shadow Moth]

Oh, that makes more sense. I guess he just poorly worded it.

Toon Links dash attack is beast suke. Use it on offstage opponents and edgehog em, it's usually death. Especially marths. It can set you up for a spike. It also knocks snake off his cypher. <3 dash attack

[sasukebowser]

It's only ok at the ledge. I use it a lot there.

But everywhere else its dumb.

[Mystic101]

ok to clerify

Im telling people that TL fox trot is faster then his run, and at the same time that there is a portion in your dash which you cannot turn around well.

this is more of a general board for disscussions about TL dash tips I guess

the only problem with fox trot(dash into dash) is that you will trip a bit more, but because of the nature of the game you will most likely not need to fox trot more then once at a time

its an important underused tactic for TL which I thought deserved some attention

[TLMSheikant]

Oh ok that makes sense now. And yeah TL's fox trot is huge but i dont like that chance of tripping...

[ZeroXMachine]

This is important in regard to launching a bair from a zair. Basically there's not enough space between you and your opponent after a zair to RAR-bair since the initial dash animation prevents turning around.

Has someone figured out a way to zair --> RAR? I've tried. And failed. :(

[Shadow Moth]

I don't think it's possible, tbh.

[demonictoonlink]

Yeah. I do it in my new video. ^^
I can pivot walk correctly perfectly. When landing you can land with a pivot walk. Do a "pivot land" after Zair, then bair. I'll upload soon.

[Shadow Moth]

Why didn't we think of just walking? >_>

Wait isn't walking too slow?

[Mystic101]

ok Ive got some new tips-

For toonlinks upB ledgehog tech, You can do it easier in the startups of your run if you jump cancel it.

Wavebounce SHDA is hard or impossible to preform when you are running-- anyone else compotent with wavebounced arrows?
