Template:SSB4 to SSBU changelist/Toon Link: Difference between revisions

===Aesthetics===

*{{change|Toon Link's hair is now affected by gravity and wind. His hat also now has more physics-based movement than before.}}

*{{change|Several of Toon Link's animations have been altered to further distinguish him from the other Links.}}

**{{change|While jumping, he raises his shield more.}}

**{{change|His double jump animation is now an upward flip similar to {{SSBU|Roy}} and {{SSBU|Ganondorf}}.}}

*{{change|Toon Link's sword attacks now use a set of new, cartoonish slash sound effects when they land.}}

===Attributes===

*{{buff|Like all characters, Toon Link's [[jumpsquat]] animation takes three frames to complete (down from 5).}}

*{{buff|Toon Link [[walk|walks]] slightly faster (1.2265 → 1.288).}}

*{{buff|Toon Link [[dash]]es faster (1.7325 → 1.906).}}

**{{nerf|Neutral attack's first hit (3.5u/4.2/3.8u → 1.8u/1.8u/1.8u/1.8u) and second (3.5u/4.2u/4u → 2.5u/3.2u/3.2u/3.2u) hits have had their three larger hitboxes replaced with four smaller ones, and the third hit has lost one of its hitboxes altogether (4.2u/4.2u/3u → 4.5u/3.5u).}}

*[[Forward tilt]]:

**{{buff|Forward tilt has less ending lag (FAF 34 → 30), improving its safety and utility.}}

**{{buff|Forward tilt's frame 9 hit now has its farthest hitbox launch opponents in the direction he is facing (361° → 38°), improving its consistency and trap potential.}}

**{{change|Forward tilt has more base knockback, but less knockback scaling (25 base/102 scaling → 45/83), improving its safety on hit at lower percents but hindering its KO potential.}}

*[[Down tilt]]:

**{{buff|Down tilt has a lower knockback angle, increasing its tech chase and setup potential.}}

**{{buff|Dash attack's hitboxes are larger (3.5u/4u/3u → 4.2u/4u/3.5u).}}

*[[Forward smash]]:

**{{change|Toon Link is now silent when performing the move.}}

**{{nerf|Forward smash now has slightly more startup (15 frames → 16) and has decreased damage due to the removal of the second hit (21% → 14%).}}  

**{{buff|Forward smash's new animation has Toon Link swipe upwards and lunge farther, improving its vertical range.}}

***{{nerf|The new animation also makes hitting grounded opponents more inconsistent, and no longer able to hit opponents hanging at the ledge.}}

*[[Up smash]]:

**{{change|Up smash has a slightly altered animation. Toon Link slightly turns after leaping.}}

**{{buff|Grounded Spin Attack's final hit has significantly increased knockback scaling (141 → 180) and launches at a lower angle (55° → 48°), granting it KO potential.}}

**{{buff|Grounded Spin Attack always knocks opponents in the direction Toon Link is facing, giving Toon Link the ability to control where his opponent is sent.}}

**{{buff|Aerial Spin Attack now has multiple hitboxes behind Toon Link, improving its safety and utility, and also increasing damage output on large targets caught in the attack.}}

**{{buff|Aerial Spin Attack now allows Toon Link to retain much more horizontal drift after the final hitbox, improving its spacing and recovery potential.}}
