Shield Blocking thing

[Davy Jones]

Will Link be able to stop ANY projectiles with his shield?
I remember that in melee he could block from fox's blaster up to charged shots, wich was pretty dumb. Link was impossible to hit with a charged atack
I think it should block projectiles that deal less than 10 dmg.

It was able to block things like that in Zelda II.

Who cares? he was too strong. At least he should block all while he crounches, not all the time, who knows, if he will do that, he will block final smashes

That's just silly. Quit complaining.

No I have seen Link(along with some others) get hit by Samus's FS before while facing towards her. And like I said before thats the way it was in Zelda II, and now that I think about it Link to the Past, and LOZ were the same way. It wouldn't make sense to take something like that out.

How was link too strong? It was as if he blocked ALL projectiles and evnen then you would have to be quite mediocre to let his shield be an obstacle.

He got hit quite often by Fox/Falco's blasters. It blocks like 2/10 of their shots. And it's not like you're gonna be shot at with Samus' charge shot if you're just standing there on the opposite side of the stage... with any character, not just Link.

And I highly doubt that it'll block a FS.

Link's shield has saved my butt many times against Samus players. I don't really go on the defense. I go offensive stand still as soon as I think the Samus user is about to shoot their charge beam or torpedoes.

No offense, but that's a VERY bad suggestion, and I'm not just saying that cuz I'm a Link main. It was also not extremely useful cuz it also stunned Link and pushed him back(How far back depends on the projectile), and you also have to be standing completely still. That's why people use the strategy of hitting Link with something like a charge shot when he's in the air.
Anyway, point is, if in TP Link can block any projectiles with his shield, so be it in Brawl.

P.S.- Link can block Fox's blaster? When I play, he can only block one or two shots. o_O

The sheild is more then fair because even tho Link doesn't take damage he can't move which can be countered with a tackle or grab or run to crouch cancel to smash for an easy opening. Also each time something hits your sheild you lose ground as you slide backwards aka knockback. This can knock you off stage or put you in a bad spot.

Link cannot block Fox's blasters, but he can block Falco's.
