so are no platforms better than platforms for TL? like if you were playing somebody that could out camp you would a stage like FD or SV be better than BF? Where as if you were trying to time somebody out or force them to approach because they have no projectiles would a stage with platforms be better?
Also how are brinstar an rainbow cruise for TL? me and my friends only play on neutrals for friendlies so I havent really tried them out yet.

This is probably a dumb question but do any toon link's moves have a sweet spot? if yes, which ones?

UUmmm, you could consider the part where you hit them with box hitboxes of Nair a sweet spot. Theres a sour spot on his Usmash on the backside. Besides those idk about anyother off the top of my head.
does anybody know if it is possible to wavebounce a zair? Like you would be running toward somebody jump then at the same time zair but your momentum would be reversed facing the same direction? I did things like chance the c stick to grab and other stuff but I couldn't get anything to work.
So I've been watching some videos of different toon links against mk's and I notice most of the time the TL gets to go to FD for their counter pick. I thought FD was the best stage to fight a mk on, is there a better one? Also I notice nobody takes TL to rainbow cruise or brinstar. are these stages good for TL?

If you live by people who are better than you, play with them. If not, go to AIB and play the ladder rankings so that you can gain some experience.

I'm really thinking about maining TL, but I feel like these forums are dead. =/ Is TL becoming less popular?

I don't think tl has been a popular char for a long time now. the forums are actually more active-ish lately, but if you ever have questions I'm sure they will be answered.
good luck with tl, I'd suggest maining a real high tier char instead, but tl is really fun to play.

How do you find a turkey with Toon Links sword?

Personally I suck with TL in teams. Nothing about him really stands out, light, average time killing. Spamming projectiles only works well against when you're focusing on one opponent, and not another and your teammate.

I've never tried TL in teams. So how would anyone rate him in teams from 1-10?

I plan on having Toon Link as a new main, but I really want to know the mindset, play style, metagame, etc. around the Brawl background of this guy. Mainly, I want to know:
What should I be thinking about while playing as Toon Link?
What are some tricks I can learn/use with Toon Link?
What are some of the best ways to kill?
When should I use projectiles, and how often?
What characters will I be fighting who will give me trouble or require me to use more effort to defeat?
Any things I need to know, Please include.
Thanks!

@_@ wow i guess the tlink boards are probably the most inactive boards here or something...
i can't give you too much advice for toon link since i don't main him, but I do use him occasionally, and I've picked up some things from my buddies who do main him, I can tell you this; toon link is a projectile camper through and through, in regards to your question about projectiles, you should be using them *ALL* the time(so long as they're a safe enough distance away), bombs, short hop arrows and boomerang, you need to make your opponent sift through an annoying wall of projectiles like mad, you need to be forcing them to have to approach you, all the while building up any damage you can, and then proceed to punish their approach. Now obviously you need to be wise about what you're doing, and against characters like falco, you have to be really careful less you want your own stuff knocked back on you.
but nonetheless, just remember that toon link is a camper in every sense of the word, he's got a great projectile game when used properly, and you should be using those projectiles as often as you can.
now...really some toon link mains here come here and give him some more detailed advice really...

Toon link isn't necessarily a camper. I play mad aggressive with him and I three stock locals, and usually win or go evenish with people that know what they're doing. I use my projectiles mostly in jams or to make openings but melee is my main objective. I find my play style very fun.
BTW why doesn't anyone nair->quickdraw anymore?

and that's what its all about in the end, but you also have to be smart, don't JUST use melee, use both, know what and who you're usingToon link isn't necessarily a camper.

F-smash,uair,up-smash,up-tilt, are the kill moves.
zair, nair, fair, and spam are our spacing moves

F-smash is reliable if it hits, it will almost always kill. I agree with the fair and bair though.

Most reliable kill move? I'd say UAir. It lingers, it's super strong, has a lot of priority + range, and it's easy to land since it outlasts an air dodge (iirc).
Other good kill moves would be USmash/Utilt and Fair, but those are harder to land. At high percents, you can land a Nair/Bair and get a kill if they're stale, but they aren't considered kill moves.
Spacing moves, your best option is Zair. It's godlike.

What are the effects of other ranged specials on the boomerang, bombs, and arrows?
In specific:
Fox/Falco's laser's on Boomerang + thrown bombs + sitting bombs + arrows.
IC's blizzard's on Boomerang + bombs + arrows (if blizzard does explode the bomb, do the ICs get hit?).
ZSS' para-laser's on Boomerang + bombs + arrows.

Arrows and boomerangs don't have that much priority, they only go through weak priorities like diddy's peanuts. Bombs do have a lot priority, they go through most other projectiles and even moves like mk's tornado. They go through lazers and blizzard, don't know about zss.
About the kill moves, bomb to fair or up air is great for killing.
