Best Projectile?

[Dariencove]

Which Projectile that TL has is the best to use?

 

[the wet mop]

bombs are my favorite, but i dunno if they're technically "better" than the other 2. they're just alot of fun to use.

It really depends on the situation. If you know you've got time or you use it in a combo the boomerang does some pretty good damage and pushes enemies back. Arrows are a good way to annoy foes and slowly build up damage as well as stopping certain attacks. Likewise, bombs are good for comboing into dair, building up damage or any other number of uses.

I use bombs the most, but they are all useful in different situations.. As far as the most useful, I would probably say arrows because you can use any projectile mid-air and follow it up with an arrow by canceling the animation, or you can SHDA. Overall though, the bombs and boomerangs do the most damage.

Another thing good about the bomb is that you can use it as a recovery method if you let it blow up in your hand, so again it really depends on the situation. A boomerang aimed towards your opponent while you are falling of the stage will either knock them back or make them move back, forcing them from edge guarding. It really depends on the situation.

I find the boomerang the most useful projectile for how I use them. I find the boomerang best at blocking an opponent's direct approach, since it can reasonably handle air and ground approaches well.

For regular pestering/damage stacking/projectile gaming, I use all three but I find bombs to be more useful. I'm not very good at SHDA'ing yet and I have yet to find a smooth way to integrate it into my game but once I do I'll probably be using my bow its fair share as well.

I love to throw a boomerang with an upward tilt, then toss an already-pulled-out bomb, or arrow forward. One of the two practically always hits.

 

[Young_Link808]

it depends becuase they are all useful and used for different situation so im not sure

I do that too! :D

Bombs - good for scare tactics and basic mind games.

Arrows - with SHDA, creates a "wall" and traps your opponent. Forces them to make themselves open, eventually.

Boomerang - it preoccupies your opponent. If it hits them, its great way to stun them. Use in tandem with bombs more so than arrows.

 

[Will19]

Yeah, but bombs also stuns, and makes your opponent open.

 

[TLMarth]

In Melee it was Bomb and Boomerang, but I've heard that Bomb sucks now and it's better to SHDA because his arrow goes much further now. The Boomerang I think is still good. Still use bomb for distractions.

 

[CmRoddy]

I am constantly changing which ones I use and they pretty much depend on the situation. I personally think that they are all very good projectiles that can't be listed as one better than the other, they all have their uses and their all helpful imo.

 

[Fire52388]

People work well as projectiles.

i like arrows bombs and boomerangs..... well situiational basically, but in my opinion i really like bombs cuz after i throw it like close or at them i usually try to predict where they go and quickly U smash and there funnnnyyyy. BOMBB SLIDING I LAUGH EVERYTIME I USE THAT IN A GAME

 

[Zelacoth]

The projectile is most effective when you use all of their diversity and keep your opponent guessing. However, I do think I use boomerang more than anything else. Good diversity, leads into a lot of good combos. The added bonus is that I can't count the number of times that it has saved my *** on its return.

 

[ToonLink81]

my favorite is the bomb

boomerang -- for a jump happy enemy it's a good way to ground them without having to jump with them and the return is so helpful against grabs or just about any attack quickly coming your way.

arrows -- with SHDA being so useful and the nice distance an uncharged arrow can travel it's a great distance maker and game controller. if you want to get your opponent air born or rolling just lob some arrows their way.

bombs -- i almost always have a bomb around me just in case... even if you're going to take a little damage from a close proxy explosion you're the one in charge of the bomb so it's not too hard to recover and came out on top. these guys can go anywhere you'd like them to pretty much and when you get some off stage recovery assistance that's nice as well.

in the end i guess I'd go with the arrows because DA's rapid enough to seem like spamming after the first time. getting someone to think you'll spam them is a huge advantage for you.

 

[someguy12]

I can NEVER throw the bombs very far, so i use the bomb for combos, and recovery.

(RECOVERY!? WTF)
if you don't know wut i mean, if you hold the bomb long enough, it explodes, if you get thrown to far, then you use ur third jump, then the bomb hits you, then you can third jump again!!

arrows and boomerang, i use them, but not with a spicific strategy, yet.

 

[Tahtah]

all projectiles are good it depens on the situation.

thx 4 teh advice

 

[megamanexev3]

I ALWAYS use my boomerang for quick damage. The boomerang can be aimed, so it is very flexible. A boomerang throw followed by a bomb is nice.

 

[VVayfarer]

The bomb and the boomerang. The bomb is useful for... everything. I use the boomerang always when I need to interrupt an enemy's attack, or simply when i want to stun the enemy quickly.

I don't really like the arrows, even though I know how to SHDA... I only use them to interrupt attacks like Sonic's side spin. And against enemy's arrows of course.

 

[TriforceCore]

Its not really about best projectile anymore, granted that in melee the bow was seldom used. In brawl this time around the projectiles imo have their own distinct functions in the hands of a skilled player. The arrow can be used the "wall and trap", boomerang is to halt enemy aproaches, and bombs are for stunning and interuption. Needless to say you can use these in other ways examples being returning boomerang save and bomb recovery.
