"I can punish him for smashing me from the back" 😮
Jin Ezawa I thought I was the only who heard that
I came to the comments for this 😂
Oh my
Uh oh....
Bruh I was like “pause” 🥴🤣😂🤣😂
A reminder! I forgot to mention Down Tilt in this guide, it's really good for popping your opponent up at high % and can lead into down air, up air, forward air. So use dtilt!
Thank you guys for watching and happy holidays! :D
Also bomb throws/item throws in general have different distances depending on if you smash or tilt throw them. If you play tilt stick and use that to throw the item won't go as far! Make sure you practice both. Tilt throws are a bit slower and good for approaches. Smash throws are usually better or following up a move so it reaches them faster.
Jtails, can you talk a little more about the tether grab? I know you covered that Young Link has it at 9:55, but is it shorter than Link's old tether? I have trouble with the angles and spacing which makes me miss the ledge during most attempts. Curious if it's longer than what you get trying to grab an opponent or I'm just too far away.
Zair has kill confirms at 100+
Jtails punish you directly from smashing you in the back... lmao
@GameBoy Cooler I'm not Jtails but I am a Young Link main with over 4mil Gsp. Last I played, Elite was around 4.06 mil.
Good stuff Jtails! I'm a young link player and I felt satisfied with this guide (except down tilt, but you already went over that). I think it's important to mention how young link's up throw will kill most characters around 190% because his kill power is so lacking, there will be times when he gets opponents up to that high percentage. Keep up the great content and awesome job at Don't Park on the Grass
🤝 fellow yl main
I also play YL a lot but I don’t have Nintendo switch online😢
I sincerely, not sarcastically, love the odd mix of genuine good advice while frequently screwing it up on screen. It's honest, and shows trust in what you have to say even if you haven't perfectly mastered it technically yet.
Some added context about things that were tripping you up: point blank bomb shots pop the opponent back instead of forward, so you'll accidentally cross yourself up before you learn to respond to it. On the ground, I believe a usmash becomes available. Aerially, not sure.
Bomb recovery won't really bring you back further than you could make it back on your own because young link's recovery is naturally good. What it really shines at imo is insurance vs. gimps, which is difficult to demonstrate in training room.
Amazing work showing the z drop aerial combos. What an interesting technique.
Thanks for the tips! I play young Link but I can only do basic moves and combos so I’m pretty bad. I actually learned alot of new strategies and combos!
I hate when I get smashed from the back
Gaaaaaaay
Sergio Becerra but he hates it
kid uwu
😭😭😭
Wow, this video makes YL look like the best character in the game lmao
Good stuff! I really feel like this is one of the best tutorial videos for a char out there right now.
Thomandy but in exchange for that lack of ko power he has damage out the wazoo. Getting someone to 160 with YL feels the same as getting someone to 120 with most other characters.
Thomandy if you wanna beat people like ganondorf you need to zone. You can not let him get in because ganondorfs entire strategy is based off of getting 1 hit off and then running, rinse and repeat. If you just combo projectiles you should win that watch up. I personally never found it to be hard.
Honestly tho hes got a very good kit in general, he doesnt depend on one move, has 3 very good projectiles, stellar frame data and is very fast
You are by far the best smash you tuber out there. Your tech and knowledge of the game and analysis are so informative, so useful for getting into the competitive scene or getting into characters in the game! Man I would love an inkling analysis because man inkling is becoming one of if not my favorite character in the game along with Mario and diddy XD
Check out izaw if you haven't yet. He's also really good and informative
ZeRo?
Yes! I feel like zero Has really great analysis in data and what is viable, what’s not and Izaw has competitive guides and have great videos on the art of smash series which is a really good series to know everything you need to know about smash! All of these channels are awesome in their own rights.
@@obiedhassa2967 his videos are pretty good but not his **How to play character** series because its not as good as this guy
Jensen Drake he’s not better just different but check out Vermanubis he’s the best Ganondorf in the world or at least one of the best and his videos are supremely philosophical and highly analytical without overthinking things like combo variations or neutral setups
Thank you so much for this guide! I'm looking to get seriously into Ultimate (maining YL) and this has been a really helpful place to start!
Awesome! I'm glad you found it helpful, I'd recommend checking out my Elite Smash video with YL as well for a more practical implementation.
@@JulesTrades Just watched that too, it was great to hear your thought processes and see how you changed up your gameplay against certain opponents
do you have any friends
I love your tutorials man, great freaking job. You explain everything so well and you take your time, nothing feels rushed like other You-tubers. You have my sub, I hope you make an Inkling guide soon, I can’t wait!
Great video Jtails. Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas! Thank you!
Young link is my main so thanks for this tutorial and btw I like the background music
Congrats on your placement at Don't Park on the Grass 2018! Merry Christmas!
with a bomb you can ledge guard players by launching them, getting a bomb out, and spin attacking (up b) towards them. then the bomb will blow you up allowing you to up b back to the stage.
hope this helps
Thanks homie. It’s good to have that when you’re being ledge guarded. It gives you a second chance
Your videos are so clear and informative. Thank you for producing such good content!
I like how you said smash from the back
*b o m b s*
Probably the most helpful video I've watched in a long time.
Happy to hear that! :)
Something you forgot to mention as well is that when your off stage and up b while holding a bomb you don't lose your jump after the explosion allowing for even greater recovery distances
I’m starting to main young link so learning new combos helps me, I have my own combo to, this combo is down air at the hip to up air, if on a longe stage use up b, side b then neutral b, dash attack, up tilt, repeat
This really helped me a lot with getting better with young link thank you so much beat tutorial out there for a character!
Bombs knock the opponent slightly forwards if they're thrown from a distance, if you throw it next to them, they'll go slightly behind you.
Thanks! This was super comprehensive
Thanks jails ur the best at breaking down characters and helping me understand them better 👍
Dude I just subbed to you! This is VERY helpful for me as I play Young Link a lot! Also, I do like that you breakdown everything there is to know about the character! I hope you do Richter cuz I do sometimes play as him as my 2nd option. Keep up the great work! :)
Awesome!! I'm so happy to hear this! :)
This video is really helpful! I always struggle with using bombs, but I think I’m gonna get the hang of it soon. Thanks.
Before getting ultimate I was planning to main young link and I was surprised how almost every guide mostly covered kill setups and high percentage combos like 100% and up. And now that I experienced some matches I knew that young link can get his opponent to 100% quickly if his player was good at low percent combos which can be done naturally in a very small amount of time of aggressive and attentive play and he mostly struggled with kill setups which can mostly be done at least at 100%.
Yay I finally got ultimate today can not wait to play in morning
I'm shocked you didn't compare YL to his Melee version. It feels very similar!
Great video! A clear, concise and simple-to-understand tutorial.
You are my man thank you for your videos they really helped me. I really do appreciate you. Thanks
Good tutorial! Thanks!
you're very welcome! Let me know if you have any questions
Thank you so much. I’ve been trying to main Young Link and this helps me a lot!
wow this game is more more involved then i imagined...
check out melee lol u have no idea
Don't check out melee. Ultimate is the most non broken competitive Smash game
@GameBoy Cooler It isn't bias,it's true. It's as competitive as it is broken. If it existed today when patches exist,then I'd say fine.
Why didnt you mention dtilt?
Great video!
When you are ledge guarding with up b try holding the control stick down during the up b and that will prevent you from grabbing the ledge and interrupting the up b animation
I liked the video before watching because I know it's going to be good.
Thank you Jtails, very cool!
Dude thank you so much
you're very welcome!
Amazing video
I main younk because OoT was among my first video games of all time.
Yo bruddah I need that toon link tutorial. Your Smash 4 tutorial was lyfe
You have helped me so much with your tutorials. Keep up the great work my dude (:
Is there a way to cancel your down a in air? I always try to get a down a off ledge but end up dying because I'm stuck doing the down a.
I love young lonk
4:08 "Now one of the downsides to holding a bomb is." Lol
After you do boomerang into bomb, you can do a grounded spin attack into u-air and get a 50% combo
I turned on notifications since your last video, it's exciting to see what you make and be one of the first to watch! Haha
can we get an isabelle tutorial? haven’t been able to find a good one! great video btw, keep it up :) much improved from your old smash 4 tutorials. definitely subscribed
tnx i have a lot of trouble with down smash so not using double jump will certainly help
Top 10 IMO. He's so good. Speedy little bastard
great video :)
YL's up throw actually DOES reliably kill at higher percentages
Yay more jtails
“I can punish him directly for smashing me from the back” pause on that my boi
Gotem
🤣😂🤣😂
I dreamt that Young Link's design might follow in the footsteps of Hyrule Warriors and let us morph into Fierce Deity. Reminicent of Zelda's Melee version.
i tried using the bomb/arrow to fair combo. got most of my kills from that.also thanks for explaining that y.link has to pack on the damage. i was trying to play him like regular link. that block into up b works too. once again thx
9:00 can you teach us how to do that in jail too?
214 BANDS yes
Nice vid man keep it up
See you at socal chronicals
I'll see you there!
young links bombs must be used quick because of how fast they explode also
young links bombs i think can actually be used to mix up your landing
Digging the content
Hell yeah, Yung Lonk time
thanks dawg
I've never played Link or Toon Link in Smash Brawl or 4. But, me personally feel like sword Characters do better with the new short hop feature so that's why I main ike in ssbu when I used to play Pikachu and Mewtwo in ssb4. Now I want to learn young link because he seems extremely fast just like ssb4 Pikachu.
Hey my man can you do adult Link next with some things to practice and drill? I will be taking some tips from this vid since it’s almost the same but Link, I feel, is different enough for a separate vid lol
Can you do a guide on ness? Man I love these
I am so unsure if I want to pick up Young Link or Link as my main. I saw where you placed them on your tier list, but you said the reason was that you hadn't seen a lot of good adult Link matches. I love this tutorial, could you please make on of adult Link as well?
My main 😎😎😎
"smashing me from the back" 9:02
Quick questions: Does down tilt confirm into a dair kill? Also, does bair-1 or fair-1 confirm into Fsmash? I'm not sure.
Cloud Galaxy when I was in practice mode I tried and I couldn’t get f smash but I could get up b and up tilt which can kill at higher percentages. You can bomb into down air if you just want a kill setup with dair.
Cloud Galaxy bair 1 combos into reverse up smash(I don’t think it combos into f-smash tho) and I’m not sure if d-tilt combos into down air but I’m 100% certain it combos into foward air at basically all percents (within reason).
Edit: but getting the first hit of bair into up smash is an extremely situational combo and honestly isn’t really usable in a real game. On the other hand dtilt -> fair is invaluable and basically the same as bomb -> fair except it trades range for speed (start up mostly)
would love one of these for ken or ryu
Please do a toon link analysis
Yeyeyeyeyey
I love Young Link but this man has a very hard time KO’ing. I feel like he needs a slight buff on certain moves so they can kill at least a LITTLE better.
Yeah you really got to rely on his projectile follow ups and down smash.
100%
Hey could you do a Ness tutorial? I saw you play him a tournament recently and thought the character looked super fun. Ness's recovery always confuses me tho
Charlie Lu practice with PK thunder. Once you get it down, it is so valuable. It can launch you and really help with attacking your opponents. Go to the training mode and work on aiming and moving the PK thunder blast. Once you get it, It’s a feel. You’ll begin to understand. At first it’s confusing and challenging.
My second main let's gooo
you can zair to fair at high percents
up air always KO's inciniroar at 124.0% and up
try yourself it gets good star KO's
i amstruggleing to short hop i have to tapthe button for lessthan a tenth of a second to do one whitch i need to put the game-cube controller doun
Do a grown link one
Good video
Aye Jtails I just picked up Young link today, I think short hop down fall fair into ftilt is a true combo. I also think down fall fair may be safe, not sure
Ndi phonse the terminology your looking for is *fast fall, as opposed to “down fall”. I’m not trying to be patronizing, I’m just trying to be helpful
Could you do lucario?
He seems really buffed in this game, honestly would love to learn, for now I spam nairs and side B when at high percent (the range is really good, specially in the air)
I main young link!
I’ve gotten better with staying under them and keeping them in the air with up tilts and up airs and such but I do have trouble doing this with characters that use a very fast falling down air... (the best 3 examples I can think of with this are Toon Link, Corrin, and Mr. Game & Watch) how do you trump their down airs?
I'm thinking of using young link or toon link as a character to learn the basics in smash. I was going with Ike (succesfully) but I like some projectiles to learn how those feel and which options they give as well. Would either of these be a good choice? I'm the type of newbie who's just good enough to consistently beat lvl 7 cpus, working on techniques like short hop fast fall aerials (not the auto-option) and b-reverses (which is why I want to try out a character with projectiles as well).
PIT/DARK PIT!
8:59 ... Umm, pause.
:]
How did you find out
Getting smashed from the back by furry bait #69
Lol it's been 9 months
Sadly he doesn't have a majora's mask moveset. Would have made him better
Can you make a Zelda one? Thank you. Merry Christmas.
I miss jump cancel toss. ;_; No more stylish toon link stuff. Do you think toon Link is better or worse than he was in Smash 4?
as a toon link ex main i truly find it worse, i had to move to young link cuz he’s better in speed, frame data, way better arrow, his boomerang comes out in less frame than toon link’s, i find toon link to be really slow in comparison but have a stronger fair, f smash which both can kill earlier than Y Link, Y link downthrow or upthrow to up air is true combo while T Link isn’t :’( so even if i prefer T Link i had to move on, he’s kinda irrelevant now
btw jump cancel toss called glide toss isn’t dead, it’s just automatic now when you throw a bomb while you’re on a dash animation
I also used to main toon link in smash 4 but I really don't like him in ultimate cuz of the universal hit stun nerfs and his movement overall feels really weird compared to smash 4 his frame data is also just much worse than young links
I mained Toon Link in Brawl and I still do in ultimate. But I’m not a hardcore competitive player at all (I don’t even use the online because I’m so much of a single player gamer, I STILL don’t see it as worth the money. Not unless they add N64 and GameCube games to the online service thing like the Virtual Console was supposed to have) and I barely even played Smash 4, the single player in that was sooooo much hot garbage that I actually returned the game to the store before the dlc characters were even done being released.
Dash > turnaround > while you're in turnaround animation, press c-stick towards the direction you were facing during your dash.
You should slide while tossing the bomb.
Could you do a toon link tutorial?
I really need that! Yink and Tink are so different!
Yeyeyeyeyeyeye
ayo boss love the vid and all just keep your mic away from the controller
@JTails can you give advice on combos or attacks to AVOID using with Young Link? I was playing with a high level player and he mentioned that Most characters but especially Young Link almost never want to use a smash attack unless it’s an absolute confirmed kill (I use it to punish sometimes too) because he said after a smash attack ur post-smash pose is vulnerable to attack for a few frames. He said it’s especially bad with young Link because YL is not that physically strong of a character and it takes more attacks to rack up damage. Do u have any other tips similar to this?
what that guy was talking about is called "endlag", or just lag. You cant move until an attack is complete, and stronger moves usually have more time that you can't move after them, or more lag. So it's not really good to use big smash attacks a lot because they have lots of lag, which good players will take advantage of. Like he said, only use smash attacked when they're guaranteed, and try to use quicker moves like nair and back air which have much less lag, aka being "safer".
Jtails, I was wanting to ask you what you think of using b-stick with young link. I mained young link in melee and got really good with him. In project M I picked up toon link, but used B-sticking for extremely easy wavebounces. All you had to do is jump forward and hit back on the c-stick. It was a great movement option. Now in Ultimate, I have my old favorite character with the option to B-stick. Wavebounces are made really easy, but its not as easy as PM. You have to do like a few frames back on the c-stick to get it, otherwise you just run around. So I guess I am wondering what your thoughts are on that, like if its worth it to get consistent wavebounces, or if the sometimes accidental turn around inputs would be too detrimental. I can send a video of what I mean if you want, its hard to explain. I think B-sticking with young link can open up a lot of doors with him personally.
I think that learning wave bounces manually has a lot of merit and it opens up the cstick to a lot of tilt options that you might be sacrificing.
If this is what you're comfortable with for many years though then it might be worth it to stick with what you know and that might work better for you. I can't tell you how to play, only make suggestions but comfort-ability is high on the priority list.
I watched this and istantly won my next battle. It was a level 7 cpu, but still
Yessss let's go!!
I need a Tink guide. He's really underrated and I can't find any good guides out there. It's really frustrating.
@GameBoy Cooler Exactly, no one likes him.
@GameBoy Cooler I knew most of that, but thanks anyway.
What is the button combination or order to shorthop and fire an arrow or boomerang?
VenomousSnake37 when you say both, do you mean press 2 buttons that are mapped to jump? In my case I have jump set at x and R, so do I press both before quickly pressing b?
VenomousSnake37 works perfectly, thank you very much
At 120 i think i found a true combo... With bomb in hand at edge of the stage, throw it up upthrow opponent to up b
