Ok I don't have the time to look this up but I need to know if this is an unyet discovered glitch/tech with link and y. link.

Basically as you all know (or maybe don't know o.O) when you dash with link and use up b he does a small barely noticeable slide extending the reach just a lil bit.

Being that I don't have recording materials (hopefully I might record it on video camera) I can't show this through a vid and iunno if there is a vid existing of this glitch.

You dash towards the edge and right before link is about to fall off the stage (hes still barely touching the stage but about to come off) you do up-b. Basically this starts up the animation of the up b as if you are on the ground but while you are falling (so it isn't diagnol it remains vertical) and as it is being done if you di backwards links grabs the edge. The only problem is during the animation the up-b is no longer a semi-spike which means it gives little or no knockback (kinda acting like a jab) when it is done. However one thing I haven't experimented is when it is done the sword's sound effect is canceled and all you can hear is link's yell. However sometimes when it is done you can hear the sword which means there is a certain way to do it to maket he sword sound. I haven't tested what it does to an opponent when the sound of the sword isn't cancelled so it might still act as a semi-spike. And even weirder is sometimes the circle around link doesn't appear and it just looks like he is swinging the sword around.

What it can be used for:

Basically if your opponent is an easy to edgehog fast faller (fox I highly doubt him cause his firefox is too long, falco, maybe cf) or gets knocked back easily, or has a recovery that at one point can only be used to grab the ledge (like sheik) you can possibly kill them.

It can also be used as a last minute way to edgehog quick, kind of like fox or falco's dash turn around shine grab the ledge thing. It can protect you from on coming attacks as you are grabbing the ledge possibly making you invincible during the frames it happens.

I haven't seen this tech/glitch used in any link vids i have seen, so I think it might be new or not useful enough to learn, it looks pretty cool/flashy though =P. So yah has anyone ever heard of this?

Sorry to break it down 2 ya man.....but this is kinda old. I use it my game....i use it as a sorta mindgame.....cuz its 2 risky (atleast 2 me) to use it as an edgeguard.....u can fall to your death. Plus its way easier to just wavedash or shorthop on the ledge

:/ we know. This is the fastest way to grab the ledge, tied with Yoshi's RDJ instant edgehog and Egghog

lol, I knew it was too good to be true it was kind of obvious that its not that complicated to figure out. I was too lazy to go look for any older posts or through the link guide to find out if it was known, disregard this post then.

No worries

There's probably 3 other post in the entire forum on this. Most of the posters in this forum type posts about how "awesome" Link is.
or through the link guide to find out if it was known,
HDL's guide hasn't been updated since Dec 05, Garde's... May 04, and 8000's.... Nov 05

Link guide's haven't been disregard this post then.
