Well, the old one died out fast, just like these boards. With Havokks permission, I made a new one, this one.

After you read an understand what the current Meta game is, try to find questionable things that haven't been tested. Anything that will help improve Link. I will post here some things to test after you have suggested them. Then anyone can test, and give us the results and I will post them here. I will also give credit to the testers at the bottom of this thread, but only by their consent. This will most likely be a slow process. Be patient and things will come up.
---Things Needed To Be Tested---
Q: Does Jump-Canceling a bomb throw, throwing while dashing, or performing a DACIT do the most damage with a bomb? (So basically all moving ground throws)
Q: KO %'s for
Utilt
Up Smash
Dtilt
Dair (both fastfalled, and not fastfalled)
from Center of FD -- ONLY continue testing if it KO's reliably.... aka: under 165% for heavyweights and under 140% for lightweights
Q: Which projectiles the bomb goes through?
---Things Tested---
Q:List of projectiles Dair can bounce off of / cancel out - we had one, but I cannot find it. I believe it was most everything but the PK fires and G&W's Bacon (only 'character made' projectiles...)
A:Bowser: Fire (like I said before it works kinda but don't try it)
Charizard: Fire (sort of don't try it) Rock Smash (broken pieces only)
G&W: Bacon
Ice Climbers: Ice (b move)
Ivysaur: Boomerang
King Dedede: Waddle D and Waddle Doo and Gordo
Link: Arrows and Boomerang
Lucario: Aura Ball (fully charged as well)
Lucas: PK Thunder
Luigi: Fireballs
Mario: Fireballs and FLUDD
Ness: PK Thunder only
Olimar: Pikmin
Peach: Turnip
Pikachu: Thundershock
Pit: Arrows
Rob: Gyros only
Samus: Both types of missles, charge beam (even fully charged)
Snake: Grenades and Nikita and Box
Squirtle: Watergun
Toon Link: arrows and boomerang
Wario: Bike Wheels and Bike
ZSS: Armor pieces and Stun Gun
Zelda: Din's Fire
Q:Grab %'s - I believe they all do 7%, but they may have different decay rates. I need someone to start a match, throw the opponent with ONE throw (eg; bthrow) for 7 times and after each throw record the % given, and the % overall.
A:They all have the same decay rate which goes:
Throw 1 -7%
Throw 2 - 6%
Throw 3 - 6%
Throw 4 - 5%
Throw 5 - 5%
Throw 6 - 4%
Throw 7 - 4%
Q:What projectiles will our arrows cancel/beat?

Also, to keep this thread alive, you can discuss the current Metagame, and what Links tier placement be in June. Good posts that provide information and arguments will be put up here for recognition.
