Overview

Links forward tilt is a powerful forward facing attack. It covers slightly above and a decent range in front. It is good for two framing, frame trapping, ledge guarding, catching landings, and calling out disadvantage options. It's unsafe on shield and should be used sparingly when in advantage, for it has a slow start up and a slow recovery.
