User blog:Plasmaster/Breath of the Wild Link Moveset

With Link's Breath of the Wild iteration confirmed to be appearing in the new Smash Bros. title, I have made this moveset 'prediction', so to speak.

Link's Breath of the Wild iteration wields the Master Sword alongside his bow and Sheikah slate. Most of his normals are the same but his specials have some changes.

Attributes

 * No. of Jumps: 2
 * Wall Jump: N
 * Wall Cling: N
 * Tether Recovery?: N
 * Float?: N
 * Crawl?: N

Normal
◾Normal A- Slashes three times, then spins around and slashes one final time. The basic one-handed sword combo from Breath of the Wild. 2%, 2%, 3%, 5%

Tilts
◾Up Tilt- Slashes in an arc above him. 9%

◾Down Tilt- Slashes his sword low to the ground. Can Meteor Smash if it hits the opponent under the middle of the sword or above the middle of the sword. 12%

◾Forward Tilt- Slashes broadly and strongly in front of him. 13%

Smash Attacks
◾Up - Link slashes upwards three times. Only the third slash will launch. Uncharged: 18% when all hits connect; fully charged: 25% when all hits connect

◾Forward - Link slashes once, and then has the ability to slash twice. The second slash is overall stronger, but if Link hits an enemy with the tip of his sword on his first slash, it will do more damage and launch opponents farther. However, if this happens, it is very likely that he will have no chance of hitting the second slash. Uncharged: 7%, 12%; if both hit, 20%. Fully charged: 9%, 18%; if both hit, 28%. Uncharged (tip of the first slash), 14%; fully charged (tip of the first slash), 19%.

◾Down - Link performs his iconic spin attack.

Other attacks
◾Dash Attack - Link does his famous jump strike. 14%

Aerial Attacks
◾Up aerial – Link swings his paraglider overhead; stalls his falling speed slightly. 6%

◾Down aerial - Link does his famous downthrust, pointing his sword down as he falls, using his weight to power the attack. Can Meteor Smash if it hits at the initial frames. The meteor effect is absent if Link strays too far from the edge of a stage, so he must stay near or on the stage for the meteor to work. Usually 15%, sometimes 18%. If Link hits the same opponent twice, the second hit will deal 8%.

◾Neutral aerial - Kicks forward. 11%

◾Forward aerial – Slashes twice in front of him. First slash 8%, second, 10%

◾Back aerial - Kicks twice at his back. First kick 3%, second, 5%

Grabs and Throws
◾Pummel: Hits the enemy on the head with the pommel of his sword. 2% each hit

◾Forward Throw- Kicks the opponent forward. 7%

◾Back Throw- Kicks the opponent to his back. 7%

◾Down Throw- Throws opponent on the ground and body slams them. 7%

◾Up Throw- Throws the opponent upwards and slashes at him. 7%

Special Moves
◾Neutral Special- Hero's Bow: Link fires an arrow forth from his bow; can be charged to increase damage, speed, and distance. 8%

◾Side Special- Remote Bomb: Link uses the Sheikah Slate to create a bomb; it functions like normal bombs from Smash 4, but can be remotely detonated by Link before it explodes automatically by inputting down special again. 9%

◾Up Special- Revali's Gale: Receiving aid from the spirit of the Rito Champion Revali, a powerful burst of wind below Link lifts him up into the air with his paraglider; upon reaching the peak of the move, Link will glide slowly down until the downwards direction is pressed or until the move is cancelled with an attack or special move. 2%

◾Down Special- Flurry Rush: Link gets into a defensive stance; if an attack hits him during this, he'll leap out of the way and then dash in and deliver a flurry of attacks to the enemy. 1.25x damage of countered attack

◾Final Smash- Divine Beast Beam: Link calls upon the help of the four Champions and their Divine Beasts, who rain down four large laser beams upon the stage. 25% each laser
