The Bomb Smash

The Bomb Smash is a technique in which Link performs his F-smash while holding a bomb. This can be performed by holding the A button after a bomb is pulled out, and then using the C-stick is used to initiate the smash by pressing side. In order to prevent Link from throwing the bomb before performing the smash, the A button must begin to be held during an animation in which Link cannot throw the bomb, such as a dodge, or even during the animation which Link is taking out the bomb. This technique is very useful for mindgames. Also, throwing the bomb immediately after an F-smash can be an effective combo if both hits of F-smash connects, as the bomb will stun the opponent for a short amount of time, allowing the Link player to perform a dash attack, or a dash attack cancel.
