way off. The only thing that keeps Falco above MK in terms of match up difficulty is MK's lack of a projectile. A lot of the -1s should be -2. Snake vs. Link is not even. A good Snake is actually a pain to fight and can make the fight very frustrating even if you are outplaying him. Granted...

Agreed except I feel that Marth, Donkey Kong and Snake should be a bit higher up on the -2s list.

Link vs. Metaknight I sort of play this as if I'm playing Snake vs. Metaknight except much more carefully as Link does not have the recovery, kill power, or priority of Snake. But basically you never want to be above Metaknight in the air and you'll want to keep him afar with your projectiles...

I think Falco might actually be even worse honestly...

yeah for real. Falco is like 0-100 (0_0). nah to be serious it's maybe not that bad buts it's something ridiculous like 20-80. I also think Marth's ratio is being too generous to Link. Its like 40:60 or 35:65 depending on the stage. Don't know anything about DK though. Never really fought...

Yeah this is what I've been telling people all this time. Nades > bombs. Just look at how Snake players like Ally and Ultimate Razer use their nades and tell me that nades aren't versatile.

Multiple ways Snake can get around these punishes. My point is that these aren't hard or reliable punishes. This. Those will help Snake not Link.

Another reason why I think the Link-Snake matchup is 40:60 is just based on videos. I see many videos of the best Links in the world losing to Snakes that aren't even top 5 or so. I would think if the match-up was indeed near even this would be reflected better in that the best Links in the...

I personally think this match-up can go anywhere from being easy to annoyingly difficult depending on how the Snake player plays the match-up. The thing is, if Snake plays this match-up like he is fighting a top tier character such as Metaknight, Marth, Diddy Kong, etc. you stand a better...

Lol if Mew2king says he is trash now that means that only the top 4 people who placed above him are not trash. EVERYONE that placed below him is even worse trash at Melee then. lol. Mew2king is a beast and everyone knows it. Doesn't matter if he gets destroyed by PP in a few games he is still...

I can agree with this. Depending on the stage it is either 4/6 or 35/65. I just don't think it ever reaches the point where the MU becomes 45/55.

To put it another way: Link's poor recovery is a weakness when he fights any character but Marth can exploit this weakness a lot better than most characters.

Hmm I wouldn't say Link out-camps Snake. At best their camping abilities are even. As someone who uses both Snake and Link I can say that Snake's grenade is definitely better than Link's bombs. Much less predictable since they don't detonate upon impact and there are simply more things you can...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wwWeKnNqhY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-9RCECloUzQ&feature=related this is why Link vs. Marth isn't anywhere near even. Easy edge guards and edge hogs. Counter and dair can be used on Link's up B recovery to completely screw him up. Yeah this matchup is like...

Yeah. 60:40 at best. There is no way Snake vs. Link is even. Snake deals more damage than Link, has a better recovery, lives longer, has a better killing move (the up tilt), has better projectiles, has a better tech chase, and can gimp Link with his fair (though the setup is a bit tricky)...
