Boomerang

Gale Boomerang (疾風のブーメラン, Hayate no Būmeran) is Link's side special move in Super Smash Flash 2. Link throws out the Gale Boomerang and it travels a fair distance before returning. When throwing, the player can determine how much of a up/down slant the boomerang will have by pressing either the up or down arrow key. Link can angle the boomerang slightly up or down upon it returning by jumping or dropping down a floor. Should Link touch the boomerang, he will catch it. Also, because the boomerang comes back to Link after he throws it, the attack can also pull the opponent towards Link if it collides with an opponent as it is coming back to Link. Also when the boomerang is coming back towards Link, the wind from the Boomerang can rack up multiple damage upon its opponent. Prior to the v0.5b demo, Link could throw multiple boomerangs at once, but this has been fixed so Link can only throw one at a time.

Gale Guarding


Link's Gale Boomerang can also be used as a powerful edgeguarding tool. If Link throws his boomerang away from a recovering enemy and jumps over it, it will turn into the Gale Boomerang and carry the foe farther away from the stage, gimping their recovery.
