I haven't played ssbm in a long time. I use to main Link, but now im having too much fun with the Ice climbers.

But to get to the point! I've recently played lv. 8 cpus(Im very lonely) and I completely failed with Link.

I need tips bruh!

Tips. Don't play cpu's. Fer serious. Maybe level 1s to keep tech skill up. But if your planing on going to tournies. Don't train with cpus. I have been. and i though i was doing good. Then i went to a tournament yesterday and found that my link was seriously lacking. In almost everything. Mindgames, techskill, reads. Imo, practice on an empty stage. Just plug in an extra controller and have them stand on the edge. Practice all your techskill. waveleands, wavedashing, lcancels, ext. imagine in your head playing an opponent and how you would react to their play style. Adjust acordingly. Then find somone real to play, learn, adjust, adapt. and steadily get better. At least. Thats what im going to do.

But some people can play CPUs and not develop bad habits or still retain their old good habbits. It really depends on the player. so. You can take my advice or not. Its your choice. Good hunting. =)

****it! I was going to Link Skler's guide.
And yeah basically what Oneday said.
Definitely don't play against CPU's.
Lvl 1s are cool just to use them as Sandbags but never actually try to fight them.
Honestly try REALLY hard to find someone to play with. Convert one of your friends who play Brawl to play Melee since that's what's happening lately.
Try to go to tourney and definitely just practice l-canceling and tech skill by yourself.
I'd recommend the Master Hand Glitch so you can be just by yourself.
Just grow to learn Link and how he is, ei how far you have to be from the ledge to sweetspot it and what-not.
He's sexy, you'll get into him in no time especially if you get better with him.
