PRO TIPS FOR WINNING AS YOUNG LINK IN SMASH ULTIMATE!

[@Tri-otus]

I can't help but think with his face he could do very good young link cosplay

[@mozzie-dono5103]

It's the thick eyebrows

[@Flame-vp7cx]

Yeah he looks like Young Link, no wonder he's so good with him.

[@Simon_E32]

This is a great video! It's nice to see someone so positive and encouraging about their character

[@colinies]

Appreciate the kind words :]

[@mathunit1]

Yeah, unlike Marss.

[@eduardocontrerasmellado9557]

Great advice! Maybe next time, while describing a combo/strat, you can try adding more short clips showing examples of these, so you can make your points clearer! Maybe that would be a better format than mostly facecam. Keep it up bro, we're proud of the work you're putting in this.

[@colinies]

For sure will do this more in the future, thanks for the feedback!

[@zackarybain]

Amazing video!!! As for suggestions for your future vids, maybe you could break down each projectile in depth? Whether it's all in one video, or a separate video for each I think it would help us Young Link mains out a lot! Keep it up bro, you're helping the community out a lot with this 👏🏻

[@spenceranderson9965]

Versatility good video

[@colinies]

lots and lots of versatility 😂

[@Alucard9_]

This video is perfect my friend got smash recently he wanted to learn young link he couldn’t kill consistently I also like this video because it interesting and the gameplay shown is great I hope you make more videos

[@colinies]

Appreciate it, posting 3 videos a week from here on out!

[@efbcinema]

I’ve been playing young link for a while and I understand a lot of this from just having played him, but you’re take on all of this is interesting and makes me thing about how I usually play, a very useful vid, thanks!

[@hivesteel]

Amazing video, love the stream too. In terms of what you could do in the future: - The matchup discussion was really interesting to me, I think there isn't much in terms of matchup guides out there, I've been trying to make some and share with the YL discord but it's a lot of work and I'm not that high a level player so I'm often uncertain about things. So that's one thing you could do that I think would help a lot of players. - Our biggest source of confirms is projectiles, UpB, landing aerials and most importantly DTilt. DTilt is an amazing move but it feels damn hard to land in neutral sometimes, in some matchups more than others. Swords and their amazing melee range, Characters like Inkling, Rats, Mario that run and jump all over the place with their great aerials and grounded burst options or other character with good melee range or projectiles (Palu, Samus, Belmonts, Rob...), I find myself hardly landing any DTilts in those matchups which means less meaty combos and very tough games. Especially you and Toast really seem to make it work though, so I would just LOVE a "Finding the DTilt" video, how to create opportunities to find that move. Cheers.

[@hivesteel]

Oh and tiny nitpicks, hope you don't mind: - 8:05 "mixed with parrying Up-B can punish a lot of things". Up B is great because it by-passes shield drop frames, but if you parried you don't have those so you can do stuff like DTilt which is super safe and rewarding (and 1 frame faster than Up-B!). Whiffing up B can be really bad too. - 8:30 You kind of make it sound like you can NAir OOS without letting go of shield which might be confusing to new players. I've seem many good players come from other characters being hella confused and getting ZAir out of shield a ton.

[@ensleynau7764]

Bro one of the best young men video on youtube. I wish there is more guide like that in your channel.🔥

[@dominicwallington9568]

Saw you in VoiD's stream and looked at your stuff! I'm using this in my young link play!

[@brendanmemmott1597]

Glad you mentioned Bair 1 to up smash, that has been my most reliable kill confirm. But if they are too far left or right from you can often do Bair 1 to f smash as well. Similarly fair 1 to up smash or down smash also works depending on the opponent

[@im_Spade_]

Thank you so much for this. I'm 10 seconds in and already hyped to hear from one of the best.

[@jamesrodriguez8899]

I use young link as a secondary and this video was just what I needed. Subbed!

[@ashmrabet3101]

These pieces of advice are amazing. I would like to talk about smthg you said on the 4th. It's focusing on landing a kill confirm which is basically vision tunnel if done in a tournament/serious match. Friendlies (or practice matches like you said) are very important to learn how to do them against an opponent. Keep up the good work m8!

[@sandstorm7476]

Crazy helpful. More pros need to break down what to do in every matchup.

[@GuppyMan7890]

Dude can you go more in-depth about fundamentals *with* Yink. Such as disadvantage/advantage stages, ledge trapping, etc. and the options you use with various scenarios? Sometimes when playing a projectile character, you can easily forgot about fundamentals bc our way of interacting is completely different

[@Squall045]

I love your videos and really appreciate your commitment to breaking down the dreaded "fundamentals." I was wondering if you happened to do YL paid coaching, as I would definitely be interested!

[@justingalin5559]

Good content! If you could make some stuff taking more about your thought process and generally higher level stuff that'd be awesome!

[@cooingwolf6775]

After I recently lost a match to AbdallahSmash as Young Link, I realized I had to step up my game in order to rematch him and have a fighting chance. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@elliotthubbard6952]

That beats hard in the bg🔥

[@kevfitzgerald6638]

Super Helpful video, awesome stuff dude

[@diegarr0]

Great video specially for newcomer Young links. Good job🙏

[@blackhoggaming]

Pretty great video! I don’t main young link but I always love a good informative video

[@brendanw1867]

I am super impressed. Very informative.

[@colinies]

♥️

[@food9398]

Regarding Z-drop recatch aerials, that is why Zackray makes his Grab button the left bumper on Gamecube. Apparently it makes it easier when he is recatching gyro as ROB. He said this in one of his videos.

[@vanandy6270]

Learned a good bit from this, going to practice that colonies special so I can kick some ass lmao

[@khazii8392]

What up Colin this vid helped a lot still waiting for sub games so I can see where my yink stands

[@jaredrivera5019]

Yo do you think a bomb guide is possible in the future, going along with one of your keys

[@jaredrivera5019]

Big problem I have is getting dair out of the z drop

Great video buddy. Thank you

[@marquisltaylor]

Damn man! You lost hella weight!👏🏾👏🏾 I haven't seen you since you were 16. I played your fox in sm4sh @ Barely house. You're a beast man! Remember we went to that tournament in cincinnati with Hman and Edgar?

[@colinies]

yooooo no way, you're the fkn goat bro. hope you're doing well man

[@marquisltaylor]

@@colinies 😂😂😂Well I appreciate that. I have COVID at the moment but no symptoms 👍🏾 So I'm on quarantine. I remember you beating me all the time then cause your fox was outrageous 👏🏾 I shouldn't have been playing with a DS back then😅 My main is yink too in this game. Some maybe one day we can do a ditto. You're a BEAST though man! I learned so much from that last video. Congrats on beating MKLeo👏🏾 What inspired the KZbin channel?

[@pg-erk3938]

Legit video. Good work

[@anthonywilliams-hv4yh]

i’m quite new to ssbu, can someone please tell me what a nair is? i’ve been trying look it up for ages and can’t seem to get a solid answer. i’m 100% aware this is a definite noob question and will probably make me seem a fool, but i’ve found learning this game to be very overwhelming to figure out. there is so much to it and so many words that make no sense.

[@TheDeathwish5920]

Nair stands for neutral air, pressing attack midair without inputting anything on the control stick. They can be difficult to pull off sometimes as a new player, but they’re a very important tool.

[@marquezrobinson7492]

Don’t forget about z-drop bomb out of shield. Frame 4 I think?

[@sunamii_fgc]

Thank you so much for this video! Insanely helpful information. Do you critique vods? Would love to improve my Yink any way I can

[@zldk962]

Yoooo lets fucking get it this will definitely you up there I will share will all my friends nice shit colin

Thank you homie 🙏

[@jimmysda3357]

Young link is my main and I struggle with players that use wolf , pyra and mythra , sword characters and samus…any advice on how to play against them ?

[@yakumo4589]

Oh damn I did "the Colonie" before knowing ya o.o I really wanted to have a pocket Yink for all cases (Yoshi main) but I always felt like I need to master wavebounces for using him properly. Do you think it's absolutely necessary to master it? Also how is your button layout?

[@colinies]

I wouldn't say its absolutely necessary to master wavebounce boomerang if you are just looking to use him in certain match up's but it will definitely make your Yink more **versatile** ;) I use default controls besides tilt stick

[@yakumo4589]

@@colinies That's sick, same for me except for having tap jump off! Most people told me that wavebouncing is pretty hard if you don't use specific button layouts but it looks like it doesn't lol thanks for the nice tips and I hope to see more sets of your Yink in the future

[@Horfact]

How do you do a z drop nair? Anytime i try it just does the zair

[@JuanHenao144]

Great tips. I’de recommend to make your bed next time before recording. It was distracting 😆
