Super Smash Bros Ultimate | Link Guide - Tips & Combos

[@C1nematic24]

I just Love how much attention Link is getting now :) I knew being a link main (before It was cool) would pay off someday. Here’s to the Melee Link Mainers who stuck it out until now 😁 Edit: Ayye good to see fellow Links! Never had so many likes before lol

[@bitz3225]

Rashon Stafford I’m a Link main too 👍🏾

[@epicbassman28]

Here here, since 1999

[@Verticom10]

I trained a link amiibo for my lil bro, i rekt him the first week of ssbu, now.. . Idk

[@rom1251]

Agreed!

[@jasonxjasongames]

Link Main since SSB64.

[@ScottyMcGeester]

Link as a top tier character? What a time to be alive.

[@thanos9189]

Link is a top tier

[@starblast-2246]

Oh absolutely, im not even that good and am destroying most people i go against, i barely know many combos with him

[@sir6379]

@@starblast-2246 I beat most people because of my aim with my projectiles

[@SubSonicCub]

Always has been lol he’s too well rounded and the items he has can make him tricky

[@noahlanford2639]

Link and young link are goated, I started playing smash about a week ago and I’m cranking the most insane combos ever lol

[@tacobell734]

combos start at 14:11 if you already know links basics

I know these kinds of vids take a TON of work when you could very well just be posting straight news updates and etc, so I wanted to say I extremely appreciate the effort put into these and will try and catch everyone one of them you put out. Great stuff man

[@ArekkzGaming]

Thank you! 🙏🏻🙇🏻‍♂️

[@Nintendoo]

Completely agree. The consistent 1-minute long intros to most videos are a bit annoying, but that's typical youtube nowadays, which is really a shame. After that though, I think that the content in your videos is very informative, succinct and helpful. It's evident that you're putting in a lot of work to produce these videos - the examples are fantastic. Great job - I'll be watching many more from you!

[@derickkozicki1639]

Link has been my favorite character since the N64 days. This new Link can be so versatile man, thank you so much for the video!

[@ididstuff3x498]

Having the ability to have what's basically Snake's C4 on a character like Link makes him so much more fun to play. Thanks for the tip on the bouncing hitbox, didn't figure that out yet!

[@hikaru9624]

Been a link main since the late 90's and it's probably because of Link that I'm a sns main in mh. Was never clever with him however so this "how to Link" video was very handy!

[@alexv8203]

Suggestion: can you add the button combination for each move?

[@ArekkzGaming]

For the first part?

[@jyustn]

Yeah

[@alexv8203]

For all moves. I.e. include visuals of the button used.

[@MrOperativeHU]

I’d like this also

[@dtyd._izu_2823]

Yes please

[@Sllep96]

The way your logo comes in is really well made and so slick!

[@phenomenonnarutokun]

Yo Link got a MAJOR boost in this game

[@jordanpatricia991]

This would be better if you actually included the controls with each move.

[@galacticnarwhal9798]

T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas. If you look at the wiki and learn some smash terms then it will help you to understand it

[@jaredbranch8907]

Watch bannanaboys video on smash terminology

[@biglewdini420]

Soopbox1 that my friend would be me

[@Wealllovekaira]

How... do you not know them?

[@jordanpatricia991]

Kyla dude you shouldn’t show a special move and not show how to do it. That doesn’t make sense. You having a bad day?

[@digitaldemon5292]

*Link looking great* Need that Lucario or Mewtwo guide next!

[@styx64]

I just love how many secrets link has! Double arrows, sword beam and an indestructible shield! I am a little upset that his final smash is pretty bad but still an awesome character

[@almacabrera7841]

It's okay, I mean, it only hits 1 player, but it can ko at 0%

[@GameGod77]

This is exactly how I want character tutorials to be for smash bros, showing off the capabilities of every move, including the get up attacks. A youtuber called TheSkuxxedOne did a very similar format for characters in smash 4.

[@motorolla17]

thank you so much for actually showing the button inputs. I didn't know how to double kick of all things

[@HaydenTheEeeeeeeeevilEukaryote]

You mentioned Z-Dropping, then mentioned that you can use specials with your bomb, but didn’t mention that you can also use aerials with them by Z-Dropping the bomb and catching it with an aerial. It’s another great option that Link mains should definitely learn.

[@BroskiPlays]

Thanks so much for starting the characterguide with my main Link!! I love you guys!

[@rxlf4380]

Heya Arekkz! I've been watching your videos since Monster Hunter Generations and I had to say seeing your Link breakdown sold it for me because one, totally detailed like everything you do, and two, totally freaking cool how you breakdown character data in comparison to other KZbinr's and Smash Players that just share their skills and basic knowledge. You just got one more subscribe towards a million and I look forward to any other tutorial for any other game :)

[@lucazlt]

Omg, I've wtched tons of guides videos, but no one came close to yours. Keep it up!

[@adeaye689]

Great vid Arrekz really appreciate this ! And that sweater is PK fire 🔥😏

[@d_bagggg54]

I'm anxiously awaiting every one of these videos! I feel like I'm terrible, but each one of these helps me get a little better. Great work, and thank you!

[@chrisbubar8891]

A good combo is when the other fighter is down throw a left - right b (boomerang) then block so he can’t hit you then he will get hit my the boomerang then up b

[@HyrulesSentinel]

Greatly appreciate the guide as a link main, as a KZbinr, and as a Gamer! Can we get a meta knight one?

[@Saikrs]

I'd love a Lucina guide if possible

[@juangomez5197]

I would love to see more of this! If you manage to do all characters, major props.

[@quintusthefifth2232]

Thank you 😭 I completely forgot how to play link and this is very helpful

[@nitroseayt3697]

dude thanks for making this vid I was really needing help considering I am a link main and u just game me some real good ideas thanks

[@hidanshang74]

You are one of the best link player I have seen Keep up the good work

[@diamonddavey]

Thanks for the info, my main link and I really want to get better at the game to the point I'm turning to professionals on youtube and I'm happy to see I can get help! 😄🙂

[@divinkitty9452]

I'm so hyped to see you guys doing these videos for Smash! I can't wait to see you cover my girls Zelda and Samus

[@smashedupwards403]

BRO. I AM LOVING all this smash love. Another great video, can't wait to see what other characters get the guide treatment! Happy holidays dude!

[@vguy488]

Cool! I can't wait for your Inkling guide, definitely my main in this Smash iteration.

[@sparkshark5285]

Another cool trick is throwing a bomb at a boomerang when it comes back to you. This will cause the bomb to bounce off and the bomb goes at a higher angle. Basically the boomerang gives the bomb a boost.

[@brostradamus11]

Great guide! Same as all your others, can’t wait for your Snake workshop

[@Braver-Seven]

This was so so helpful. Definitely more please. Its only increased my desperation to finally own a switch..

[@MooCabot]

Honestly I was holding out on watching guides because I was hope you would make them. You're an absolute unit dog bless

[@superheriber27]

I appreciate you use the green tunic for the thumbnail

[@mrdude88]

You should do s video of characters with gimmicks and hidden techniques, e.g. Captain Falcon’s sweet spot on knee, Ryu and Ken can’t look away from their enemy, Roy hitting harder if you hit at the base of his sword, Link block some attack if he stand still, or get a beam attack (which you covered in this video) but stuff like that. Actually that’s all I know but I’m sure there’s more and I would like to know them all.

[@SanT0_0_]

I been maining Link since N64. Finally some recognition

[@artinacart8035]

I almost regret not making link my main in the beginning! He just felt kinda slow, weak, and hard to use at fitst. Definitely making him my secondary tho

[@limyongsteffen890]

Link Green Tunic and Fierce Deity are officially my Ultimate favorite Link skins

[@mejitothegamer]

Link is my main until Joker drops which is still TBA so thank you for this video!

[@kobienglund7634]

Zelda has always been my favorite franchise. Ive been playing Link since Brawl because of this.

[@LiangHuBBB]

wait how do I do up tilt? isn't it the same input as up A? do I need to release A faster?

[@coco_vl]

Very well done guide! I thoroughly enjoy the formatting of this, keep at it! However, I do recommend that you also add percentages or acknowledge the difference for full hop aerial attacks - even if short hop aerials are the most commonly used ones it should be noted somewhere that full hop ones are stronger and can be used as cross-ups, some handy pieces of knowledge for newcomers. Cheers :]

[@jsamuel5116]

Always loved playing link (probably because I’m a big fan of the loz series).

[@SalubriouzNL]

Arekkz, Again a great vid, Keep them comming can't wait for the next one!

[@ocelots]

Please do a Samus guide next

[@eduardomaldonado810]

try using the down b special as a decoy. people focus on it too much. at the latter part of the match. switching it up between decoy stage trap or actual attack

[@jackmagic8420]

Great guide! I'd love a guide for Ness or King K. Rool from you.

[@francisrotor-murphy6282]

This video is great! Just one thing I'm gonna poke about this video (and the next ones) You definitely should add if the combo is a true combo or not. Saying this helps people know their options after landing an attack!

[@Panster7]

The shield is such a nice touch

[@almog0114]

more character guides please !

[@ShouZen333]

Link has always been one of my favorite characters in Smash, thx a lot for this awesome guide, keep up the good work ;)

[@Bishie4Bara]

Oh the detail of all this! I love the effort! By any chance would you consider a Zelda one in the near future?

[@Fatewing_]

amazing video! enjoyed watching it all... merry christmas and keep it up!

[@smokyham7]

Arekkz my man, is there any game in this world you can't play? Thanks heaps for all these vids. Have a great 2019!

[@ohkay76]

Lol this helped me so much thanks arekkz!

[@Dmike]

Thank you. How are you basing the next characters you do. Here's a vote for Mewtwo

[@morefaso9408]

Bruh, that intro was sick af

[@inkeevee9539]

I only clicked on this because I’ve been playing way too much breath of the wild and came back to smash bros

[@STEVEtheP1R4TE]

My new main!

[@Jupitertvv]

Noob Question: Do you elite players recommend purchasing the older cube controller or does it not make a huge difference? I'm a decent link player and I'm noticing everyone uses these old controllers. Thanks!

[@MolecularFishStew]

This link tea is very well made

[@kinglemon3808]

Been a link and toon link main since super smash bros brawl

[@Crowen.]

Once again such a clean intro

[@jordanchedges]

Would love to see one for Mewtwo. I'm having trouble finding good follow-ups for his side special.

[@Polylute]

are you going to do this for all the characters or just the characters you play? cuz i'm getting back into smash after not playing it for 8 or 9 years and i'm really interested in cloud and would love for you to cover him

[@repHAWAIIxJPN]

I would love one of these for Isabelle !

[@haslover100]

I started playing smash 2 days ago and right from the getgo I chose link and he was exactly right for me. I’ve tried other characters and it just doesn’t feel right. I can win like 30% of the time against my friends who have been playing for 2+ years

[@jackpoling8511]

I just got that game so I am watching these videos

[@jessehernandez1409]

Great video, but what if I don’t use a game cube controller?

[@erickhart8046]

Aw yea dude please do em do em all.

[@jasonxjasongames]

Link's Bomb Tutorial.

[@captainchaos1993]

Woooooow I'm a link main and this video actually really helped for combos and tips for me learning the character but can you please fo mario next or donkey kong

[@belacestudios1385]

Awesome video! Can you do one on captain falcon?

[@OokamiSan4]

HEy, thanks for the video it was very helpfull. Could you do a Part for Duck Hunt i really wanna learn how to play this Charackter.

[@ShAdowFoX717]

I saw a glimpse of you in Dattos film when you guys are here in Sweden. You guys where at Dice :)

[@ArekkzGaming]

Lots of cool stuff coming ;)

[@josepholdoni7102]

Please do Falco next, I believe he is top teir and pros like Leffen agree and I am curious how good he really is.

[@ballistiks]

Can you do young link and Toon Link next? Great video

[@aaronsmith8699]

Sweet, hopefully we'll get lucario soon

[@kijura-8457]

dunnoi where i got this from but i read that links F-Smash is the strongest in game. is that true? not sure if in terms of knockback or dmg but it kicks out pretty often and the ability to use it twice is so nice too

[@shenmuemasta]

So I'm kinda a beginner at Smash, but don't most combos stop working when % get higher?

[@dannysitan6437]

Link has always been the best for me since the 64

[@patrickbateman8895]

Make a Lucario guide!

[@daphnedenos2742]

13:52 I SEE WHAT U DID THERE. NO PUN INTENDED! XD

[@naruhina4554]

[@j.i.c2786]

[@deadyoshii]

Do you have jump using left stick turned on or off?

[@mirandafields3070]

Thank god! I can finnaly stop camping!

[@osodays1224]

Do dark samus im in love with her

[@renatodiaz5352]

Hey this is my first smash game and I’m still learning all this terminology. This may be a stupid question, but how do you perform the tilt attacks?

[@BlasterZ]

Tilt the stick toward a direction (Left/Right, Up And Down and Press A). If you *tilted* your control stick towards the left or right whilst pressing A, you will do a Forward tilt also known as *F-Tilt* . You can do the same with the controlstick direction Up and Down. The Move will then be called Uptilt / U-Tilt or Down Tilt / D-Tilt acordingly.

[@evanb6594]

I'd love to see pit or palu thanks dad

[@Joeynator3000]

For some odd reason my new main is DK, no idea why. lol

[@sumlad5971]
