Up throw --> Up air --> ??? ---> $ Profit $

The boomerang recovery trick only works in the 1.0 and 1.01 versions of Melee. Axe carries his extra version around in tournaments, but in 1.02 this was patched out, along with a few other things (RIP Zelda and Bowser Flame Cancel). Most tournaments play 1.02 in the US, since it's the most...

Sorry to shoot down potential Young Link tech, but everyone knows about the hook shot, and there are several reasons why you don't see players use it frequently as an attack/zoning tool. The primary issue is landing lag. Scanning around, I couldn't find any exact numbers, but your landing lag...

It's just about speed. Generally I do it by tapping Down to drop from the ledge, then immediately swapping to the Claw Grip to double jump with Y and instantly press b. It's not a super tight input if you practice a little!

Haha, were you the Fox player there? I'd love to play you again some time; I've switched to Fox myself, actually!

CAUP, have we ever played before? :0 I remember travelling to UGA once with all the GCSU boys and having a giant crew battle. I was the Young Link main. I think you guys have Bravo over there, right?

Cool man, looks like you're a little less than two hours away from me. Too far for regular sessions, but we could meet up and play some time. Feel free to shoot me a pm. You're much closer to Athens (about 30 mins) so you could probably get in on the UGA smash scene and practice with those guys...

Hi! I've been playing for almost two years! I used to be a glorious Young Link main that nairplaned into explosions, but now I main Fox and wow this character is so easy what the crap? Drillshine into waveshines across the stage into look away and talk to someone else into up smash true combo...

What area are you from? It sounds like you're just starting out. I'd suggest you join the Georgia Melee Facebook page. Link: https://m.facebook.com/groups/209198555783942?ref=bookmarks The pinned post will keep you updated on all the tournaments in the state, as well as some of the big...

Don't worry Tri Newton; I love YL too much to ever fully drop him or stop playing him, haha. I'll always lurk around here, and maybe one day I'll post my punish game flow charts or some neutral game stuff (god, stringing weak nairs together against puff is seriously hilarious). As for YL...

Basically what Scrumpy said. Young Link does better in all the top tier match-ups than anyone below him on the tier-list (besides pichu/falcon, lmao) and any top tier above him has a better matchup spread overall, so there'll be no reason to whip out YL at all. That's not to say there aren't any...

I know I should be able to get more out of up throw on Falcon at low percents. Right now if they DI out I can only get an f-tilt around zero-15. What are my follow-up options when I'm getting early grabs?

I think that relying on nothing but running away and projectile camping is a horrible way to play Young Link and a horrible way to play Melee. Yes, it can be strong. Yes, it can work up to a certain skill level. Eventually, however, it will become incredibly obvious that all this time you've...

There is a LOT you can do in Melee just by thinking. Think about what options you would use in what situations. How would your opponents think to counter those options? What would the response to that be? Example line of thought: You're Marth and your opponent is Fox. What is your win...
