    3.5 Link Discussion

    Ftilt's startup went from 12 frames to 14 frames, knockback growth decreased from 93 to 90, and its base knockback was decreased from 20 on all hitboxes to either 5 or 2 depending on spacing. Pretty significant nerf if you ask me.

    Link Match-up Thread

    Is Sonic a good secondary for Link? I'm not totally aware of what their matchups are like but I'm liking the direction that's being taken with Sonic in this release. Who are your secondaries btw?

    3.5 Link Discussion

    Nobody seems to have mentioned that ftilt was nerfed. It went from a BKB of 20 to either 5 or 2 depending on spacing. Why was this done?

    3.5 Link Discussion

    When a character with a sword attacks, their sword leaves an after image looking thing after it. It helps you see what the range of sword based attacks is. [spoiler="It looks like this:"] In 3.02, the trail wouldn't always appear during an attack, which messed up spacing for me and also...

    In case anybody hasn't noticed, they fixed sword trails.

    3.5 Link Discussion

    Hi everyone, my thoughts on PM 3.5 Link: Yeah he got nerfed. It's not that big of a deal since everyone else got nerfed to a degree as well. TBH the whole game is more fun to play because matchups are less overcentralizing. Just like Link can't use rang for everything anymore, Mario can't use...

    Link Advanced Technique Guide

    I use Usmash or Utilt out of Uthrow on FF'ers. If they DI away I dash attack. Does anyone else think that Link's DA is amazing? DA combos for days in so many matchups if you can read the DI.

    Link Match-up Thread

    Oh, my bad. I just assumed that wall cling would be a pain to deal with. I have 3.02 set up already. I'll take Player_0's advice and work on not shielding so much. I think I know what to do in the matchup now. Any opinions on what would be a good stage to take chars like Lucario?

    Link Match-up Thread

    Can anyone help me with this Lucario player I just met? He likes to toss Aura Bombs then run past it into a grab. He is also really good at using Double Team. How can I punish DT? It seems to have very little ending lag. I also find that Lucario is one of the harder chars to edgeguard, since he...

    Links to the Past - A P:M Link video & discussion thread

    Yeah this is what I meant. Thanks Gimpyfish62. I'll try that out later. I think my timing is just wrong or something. OP will be updated soon OP has been updated. Thanks to those who provided videos!

    Links to the Past - A P:M Link video & discussion thread

    Do cross up bairs actually work on shield? I try to run at computer opponents and short hop past them while making sure that the second hit of bair hits the back of their sheild but they shield grab me out of the first hit. Am I doing something wrong? How do you guys use cross up bair?

    Links to the Past - A P:M Link video & discussion thread

    I'm done guys. The double/triple spoiler tag issue has to have a solution. Can anybody help me? Anyways, I put BryE's vids in the OP under P:M 3.0. Enjoy!

    Can I use Melee guides to help me start out?

    I would say go for it. A lot of stuff has been changed from Melee to P:M but simple bread and butter options such as Jab > Jab > Utilt/Dtilt are even better than they were before. Link's stats are improved, so some strategies from Melee should work better. Even though Melee Link was terrible...

    Link Social Thread

    Yessss :) Thanks so much! All these changes look really helpful, especially the bolded ones. As for Bair connecting easier, the first hit still has BKB/KBG of 0/100. How exactly did you get it to connect better?

    Suggestions for Changes to Link's Design

    Hey ALSM! Haven't seen you in a while. How's it goin'? I think that these are some legit suggestions, especially the CC one. While Dtilt has a meteor hitbox that eats up CC, it is just a tad too slow against some. Dsmash is terrible as a CC option until high %s so I always use Dtilt at low %s...
