Super Smash Bros 4 Characters: Graphic Differences of Link and Toon Link's Spin Attack's Revealed (PICTURE)
Super Smash Bros 4 director Masahiro Sakurai revealed another picture from the upcoming game, and this shot shows off the differences between Link and Toon Link's spin attacks.
"Pic of the day. The graphical differences of the Spin Attacks are clear. The way they hit are actually very different too," Sakurai posted to the Miiverse.
The spin attack is Link's signature move in the series. With the attack, he jumps in the air and does a 360 while horizontally swinging his sword. The move can also be an extension of his jump.
