Wow....Toon Link was not even in the top half of fun characters or good characters in melee.I'm sorry.
But when you substitute being fun over being good, its not such a good trade off.
And honestly, TL is garbage compared to YL. He does'nt rack up nearly as much damage as fast as YL does. His projectiles suck in comparrison. Pretty much, literally everything is worst except his killing ability. Even YL was better in the air compared to TL IMO.
YL's n-air alone was too good and awesome.
I do wish YL had TL's b-air and f-air. :|But his d-air is alright I too I guess.
Young Link was just useless. Projectiles weren't that useful, (and the TL boomerang does not do 6% max) his smashes were not better, his aerials were worse, his upB was worse. I can't believe you could say YL > TL in the air. TL is arguably the best air character in brawl.
This can be partially attributed to them playing in different games; the environment favors combos in melee, the flouty stuff is just brawl (and i don't like it either) but don't take it out on TL.
If you want to talk about racking up damage, I can't believe you cited falco and ganondorf. If you're talking about combos, sheik, marth, and fox destroy everyone.
