Fox Vs Link matchup?

[GreenBread]

I'm having trouble with this matchup, approaching seems hard against the OoS grab and the Up B OoS shenanigans. Any tips, recommendations?

Shine combos, literally anything out of waveshine destroys link and you can probably catch him with a few up-smashes and shines out of shield. Try to bait him and to not just throw out shuffles because a good Link will try to read you as hard as possible considering you're fox. They'll play sort of defensive as well though so you can't just wait around, make sure you're at least somewhat agressive. Make sure that you try to take each hit as far as possible and include as many shine combos as possible.

Yeah use a lot of waveshines, and bait that UpB. Shine in his face if he's gonna throw a projectile

If up B hits your shield, you can just unshield and punish the ending lag. Once it hits your shield, you are safe from being hit by that specific up B

Well all the Link's I've played force approaches with projectiles, and then when you go in for a shine or w/e they like to up b. I can possibly read it but grabs are nasty

But you're Fox; you are the best camper in the game. Link's bothering you with projectiles? Shoot lasers. Lasers also have the added benefit of stopping bombs in their tracks.

Fox can camp harder with double lasers, learn how to them consistently if you haven't already. You can also bait the up b jumping high.
