im not pushing him to stop playing link, im just trying to show him that its's good to have other options, especially if the only character he knows how to play is link. he's fairly new to the game and doesnt play that much, and he hasnt really gotten the chance to try playing other characters. im just trying to get him to try other characters that he might like, and he said that he kind of likes marth too. if he plays marth and ends up liking him, that would be a good option for him to have in addition to link. and if he plays other characters and doesnt like them or prefers link, i will let him play link. he said that if i four stocked him with bowser that he would look into playing other characters, and if he ends up liking link the best, i will let him have at it with link. i used to main ness, now he's my second to doc. everyone tells me i should play a top tier, and for i long time i ignored them. i still am not good with any of the top tier, but now i mess around with them more to see if i like any of them at all. theyre good options for low tier mains to have, that is if you want to do well in a tournament. look at qerb, mofo, taj, axe and vectorman. they all main low tiers and have really good top/high tiers as another option.
