Yeah, definitely. I beat Foxes left and right with Link. Fox is probably one of the worst characters in the game.

He could, depending on the stage and if they know the matchup. Would he win the SET against the fox? Probably not. Same skill on neutral stages Fox > Link.

fox *and falco* gets comboed by link fairly well. i have success w D-smash or uptilt combos into a B-up spike near the egde. if fox is in range to get back to the ledge, either ledgehog or jump off the cliff with a neutral kick.

Correct Deva, I was being completely sarcastic.

M3RC... I use Fox a little also:

I have more... but those are just me vs Link. BTW I have only been "using him" for about 4 months and Aesir has been using Link for over 1 year... and I don't think I lost vs his Link once.

So, I guess you could call it my "real" answer is, yes a high level Link can beat a high level Fox... however, your Link must be beyond amazing aka Aniki.

EDIT::

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I dont play fox but jesus christ are you wrong.
I guess since my post just owned you, I'm going to return the favor... *points and :laugh:*

if you ask me i really don't know. once has range, the other has speed. in the right hands, i would have to say link has the upper hand, although that hand isn't too far higher than fox.

On any even stage like FD: Only with the link playing at the top of his ability, and not having any bad luck at all.
I beat all my fox friends, but they really ain't grown in skill at all when compared to me this last year...
Well, one of them has, but he really, really, REALLY sucked a year ago :p

Link playing at the top of his ability? aka, perfect? I'm pretty sure any character played perfectly can beat anyone else. I guess we should just say if Link is being played better than how the opponent space animal is, he can win.

No, the player's ability, not the character's...
