Is there a way to do Link's AAA combo with out doing the infinite stabbing?

[Lucky_Sharmz19]

His 1 2 3 combo is better than his infinite stab.

[Skler]

Yes, hit A three times and no more.

Interestingly enough, I find it easier to do the A, A, A. I have never once done the Infinite, whether accidental or on purpose.

illusion stab owns >____>;

I think Skler hit the nail on the head. it's hard to do in the heat of battle, but just hit the A button 3 times and you should be good. the problem that I have is that I'm trigger happy when I try the combo, so I end up hitting A like, 5 times. so just practice hitting A only 3 times.

this may not help much, but i think its rather funny, that i can actually get the illusion stabs off once in a while, and sometimes on good opponents, its just funny cuz its only 1% but they get pissed off, i think its more of an emotional thing :chuckle:

Jab Cancels. Now this trick, I must admit I am quite proud of. I've done it for about 2 years at least now, and I still have not seen anyone doing this. After the first jab of an A A A series, you can tap down, release to neutral, and jab again to do the first jab of the A A A series. Doing this you can do the first jab repeatedly, faster than waiting for it to end, and it's almost as fast as doing the first two jabs of the series. You can also tap down and release after the second jab of the series, although this isn't as likely to fool people since there is a delay for the rapid A's after the second hit anyways. Needless to say, this works much better for some characters than others. Sheik, Falco, Fox, Mario, Doc, Luigi, Link, and Falcon can all make good use of this tactic. Feel free though to test it out with others, see what you can do with it.

wow i never knew about jab cancels! thats awesome! i think ive just opened up soooooo many new combo possibilities... i got some nice ideas im gonna have to test now.

oh yeah A x3 is all there is too it. once again.

infinite stab imight not be a bad edge guard because links sword isnt part of his hit box.. :confused: ehh? ehh?? idk never tried it

[Kyle Kerplunk]

It's very possible in fact I find it much harder to do the infinte than just ar egular aaa

Strange, I find it almost impossible to stab infinitely, I dunno why...

sounds good, especially for those shieks that loooove to try n' counter after every hit you throw at em'. reminds me of mvc2's wavedashing...

[Cort]

The Link gentlmen! Cept not technical. It's good to use after like, every aerial >_>

[Lucky_Sharmz19]

You guys have trouble infinite stabbing?.........



I thought you guys were good with Link or something....

[DRD]

Sharmz, I push A repeatedly, but it just hits the 3 times. =/
