A Smash Lab as been created. It is currently undergoing developmemnt and in the process of finding "researchers." Researchers will be people that have a Cyan name. They research really advanced things like frame data and questions that elude even smash pros.
If you think you have something that needs researching this is a great place to go. If you have questions pertaining to Link that nobody knows, it is probably because nobody has done any research has been done on it. In this case, I will ask a researcher to find out the information for you and post the answer to your question right here for all to see.
However, you are more than welcome to go there by yourself and ask those very obscure questions that need researching. Here are the links.

Question
How do I jab cancel.
Answer
There are two ways to jab cancel. The first way is to let the jab animation end and put in another another command. The second way is to have another animation override the jab animation. The most popular example of this is crouching. Crouching is an animation that will cancel the string of jabs allowing you to restart your jabs or do something else.

Question
How do I perform Bomb slides? How do I make them go in the different directions: up, down, and forward?
Answer
This video explains everything you need to know about Bomb sliding. Helpful Bombsliding VideoIf you perform a perfect bomb slide then Hitting up Z will make you throw the bomb up. Hitting diagonally forward up and Z makes you throw the bomb forwards. Hitting Diagonally up and back will make you throw the bomb backwards. If you perform a fake out bomb slide, the bomb will always go forwards. Keep in mind The timings are different from a true bomb slide and a fake out.
