Toon Link

 

(click to show Brawl trivia)

Toon Link is a good character due to his flexibility, with no serious problems or flaws save for an occasional problem scoring KOs.

However, there was one issue that never quite felt right and impacted a few matchups: Toon Link’s forward and down smash strikes did not always link. Fixing this trades gimmicks for reliability and helps him out with his only concern.

Throw in a little extra damage on Spin Attack to help his close-range game, and Toon Link is better than ever.

Balanced Brawl Bonus: One-Two Strike
