link is wonderful in the fact that many setups with several top characters simply don't work against him
the tornado will sometimes randomly win the match for you, like capturing your opponent after you downsmash him to get hit by the other side of the downsmash, toon link style, which could be like 40 dmg
it can sometimes mess up lucas/ness's recovery
against melee characters like marth, keep em away with your items
spacies-sorry to say you gotta be half melee/bomb-rang close by, expect to get chaingrabbed every single life by a good falco and practice not getting spiked by them because at times it's like rock-paper scissors
every time you hit someone with a boomerang on the ground you get a free opportunity to dash A which will add up to maybe 18 dmg every time if you're close enough to run up to them
shielding their moves then grabbing works pretty well for a setup
idk what else, don't downstab or spin attack too much they're hardest to land
yea i main link he's got potential
