Well, you can catch items if they're thrown at you, but that's insanely difficult to do when you're knocked into a spin or on the ground. And it's also pretty difficult to nail most of the time. I used to be able to catch 4 out of every 10 throws at me.

Afro, a bomb works just like any item does.

That's why I don't even try to catch. I just concentrate on dodging the attack.

Yeah, waiting 5 minutes after you press the button combo for Link to pull out a bomb is the same as picking up an item.

Because it regularly takes me a long time for Pikachu to pick up a beam sword. Oh wait, nevermind; he does it instantly.

But grabbing a bomb after gaining some distance from the enemy is great. Especially when you can do it almost anytime you'd like. It can also be done in mid-air.

Who cares if you can spawn a bomb when you're far away from an enemy? Wouldn't you rather pick up a beam sword right in front of your opponent then proceed to immediately slam it into their face? As for jump spawning? Worthless. If I jump, I want to jump to attack my enemy or to get away from my enemy. I do not want to worry about spawning items while jumping and being sure to avoid my enemies during the stupidly long spawn time.

And to be honest, I hate Link for other reasons on top of that. He jumps in a way which feels totally unnatural to me. His up+B jump feels totally useless compared to other up+B jumps. His boomerang is retarded and I can never use it effectively (I think it may be because it's too slow to be effective in the form that it is). I'm not familiar enough with him to make good use of his aerial attacks (I still can't recall what is done to get his double kick). He takes way too long to pull out his bombs for it to be useful. His grapple is also retarded, because if you miss it leaves you open for like 3 seconds.

So basically, all he has that I like is his normal attacks on the ground. Everything else sucks.

By the way, I am not familiar with his arrow attack due to the fact that I do not own Melee. How does that work? Actually, who cares it sucks anyway.

ps if you're going to put up an argument for Link as an item spawner, why not put up Peach? Isn't there another character that can spawn stupid weak items like she does? Anyway, they all suck regardless.

The jump spawning was pretty handy when I was using Young Link and attacked mainly while avoiding. The bombs would disrupt the opponent's movements, making them drop immediately. That opened a small window of opportunity to either attack or retreat.

Though Link wouldn't be as effective seeing as there's a decrease in speed.

So, why're we bitching about why weapons are good or bad? Everyone has their own style of play. I personally prefer no items when I'm doing a "serious" fight. But items are still fun when you just want to fuck around.

Re: Super Smash Brothers Melee thread #48858796836

That's all that Peach is really good for...

Turns out Zelda, not Shiek, is pretty damn powerful if you know how to use her. Her smash attacks are INSANE if you can land a fully charged one.

Re: Super Smash Brothers Melee thread #48858796836

Turnips take forever to pull.

Again, lose. Items are picked up instantaneously.

I heard there was a big tourney in D.C. june 16th and 17th. Anyone going? If interested, i think info is at smashboards.com and i think the tourney is called Pound 2 or something like that.

Note: i read this from nintendo power may 2007 issue. They said info was on smashboards, and i don't know anything about it, or where on samsh boards is this tourney mentioned.

Oh my god, people. The bomb takes less than a second to pull out. What a lame ass excuse for not using bombs. For items, you have to WALK TO THE ITEM, place your body over it, and then pick it up. It's not like you just spawn it in your hand. Sometimes, there aren't even items to be picked up. If you're close to an opponent AND you're on an item, then you should slash him without even bothering to move anyway. If you're not in point blank range, you have enough time to pull out a bomb.

God, you people have no common sense or something. I can't see how you'd consider the pulling of an item such a hassle when it takes less time than going to an item by far.
