I have gotten pretty good with Link, but I feel like I should pickup another character(s) who can deal with what Link struggles with. Which characters would fit as to what I am looking for?

Because Woop.Mewtwo .
Well, Mewtwo was my character of choice when I was playing Melee casually and I did try him in PM. I really like what he has. But later on in Melee I started using Fox/Falco, the first I now main in Melee because of you know why. As for characters on the roster I like/tried, so far after experimenting with 10 characters I have Lucario, Ivysaur and Ganon as potential secondaries along with Mewtwo. Would any of those first three also work to go along with Mewtwo?Because Woop.
I run both fox/falco as secondaries on PM since I've been playing them for years on melee, but spacies aren't for everyone and take a good chunk of time to learn. Link is good pretty much on his own, but if you need a secondary, Nick pretty much said it. Mewtwo is pretty solid at the moment. Watch Emukiller play him and study him constantly so you can take advantage of everything the character has to offer while maintaining a "high" speed of play with mewtwo. He can be rather fast if you work with him a bit. The main thing link struggles with is getting death gripped by combo heavy characters since he's the perfect weight to just completely abuse. If Mewtwo isn't your bag, just experiment with the roster and find a character that suits your tastes.
Well, I am also learning Diddy Kong in Brawl so maybe he could be considered as a secondary? Lucario is good but I'm not quite as comfortable with him as some of the other characters I like. When I finish my character search, I can post a list of who I like and maybe then you guys could help me select from those.Out of those, my personal choice would probably be lucario, simply because of his speed and decent combo game. He still gets juggled fairly easily though. I'm not very partial to ivysaur, and ganon, although powerful is slow and fairly easy to punish for simple mistakes.
That's just an opinion though. Keep experimenting. I think hylian seconds lucario though, so it could be beneficial to speak with him as he probably knows more about the character than myself.
Marth is good against Sheik? No. Better than link against sheik? Yes/maybe. Marth sheik has always been a bad matchup for marth, and it is the only character marth has a disadvantage against.Link by himself is great against most characters. I have a poket Marth. He's great against spacies, Shiek and Falcon, which Link has some trouble with. I'll need to look more into his matchups though. He's pretty easy to pick up, too.
I see. Thanks for saying something. I'll need to look into his matchups more, as I said before.Marth is good against Sheik? No. Better than link against sheik? Yes/maybe. Marth sheik has always been a bad matchup for marth, and it is the only character marth has a disadvantage against.
Yeah, if the sheik/marth matchup weren't as bad for marth as it is, then marth would probably be 3rd on the tier list in melee. The biggest reason he is lower is because he gets stomped by a good shiek.I see. Thanks for saying something. I'll need to look into his matchups more, as I said before.
