Gosh darn it, Link's recovery looks even WORSE in the Smash 4 trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?client=mv-google&hl=en&gl=US&v=xM9weAXCqxY&nomobile=1#t=01m28s

But did you see his UpB's power, both in the air and on the ground? Looks like Link is no faster but WAY more powerful.

Which is a decent enough buff for me.

I'm also wondering if Nintendo isn't adding some edgeguard attack. Note how Villager drops a bowling ball off the side of the edge to hit Fox? That would be quite the buff to the game, prevent planking really hard, which tbh was one of Brawl's worst problems competitively.

The blast zones also seem to be closer, which would benefit Link greatly.

So looks like things are looking up imo Tesh

I'd also like to note the lack of hitstun upon connecting with a sword attack.

Means SDIing out of Link's attacks will be impossible. That alone is an important boost to Link.

EDIT: http://www.smashbros.com/us/characters/link.html

Link's fair, bombs and bow are confirmed to return. Hope the bow gets some serious buffs.

Or at least confirmed in the pictures, could be changed later.

Yeah, I'd be seriously surprised if most of this isn't changed later. Link's design is still clearly the Twilight Princess look from Brawl.

QUICK EVERYONE TAKE THE SAME AVI AS SCABE

BLAAAAARGH. SMASHING.

Can't really tell if it's just startup lag, or if Link has to actually charge his UpB... http://youtu.be/xM9weAXCqxY?t=1m14s

interesting that atm Link's appearance and arsenal closely resemble that of TP Link...
no complaints here, although this will probs change when the game gets further developed =P

Yeah, I kinda was hoping for more of a Skyward Sword Link.
