Good/bad stages for Link to fight on.

[Drexel]

As I am learning about the competitive game and hope to make my competitive debut soon, I want to know which stages Link can take advantage of most and which stages he struggles on. Please help and discuss on this thread.

Link is a character that revolves around zoning. Due to this, Flat stages are likely to give him an advantage due to Link being able to put up a wall of projectiles and the opponent must weave through them in order to attack you. Personally I think this is true, but I also believe that stage advantage can be dependent on the match up. I say this because on stages such as Yoshi's Story, Battlefield, Lylat Cruise, and Warioware, Link can up tilt through the platforms and juggle his opponents from beneath quite easily(provided you gained control from underneath that is).

So FD and Smashville would also be good choices for stages?

Yes. Like I said. I believe it's character dependent. For example, Green Hill Zone benefits characters who can wall jump up the sides to recover.

Yeah, it really depends. If I'm against a Falcon or Marth, I like Wario Ware or Yoshi's. If I'm up against Bowser or Dedede, I want nothing to do with those stages, and would prefer FD or maybe PS2.

Yeah I always try to go for flat and wide stages, so Stadium 2, FD and Smashville are imo his best stages.

Stadium, smashville, and FD. I've had trouble against species at FD though. I like yoshi's island with him as you can juggle on that tilting platform easily.

If you are going up againist Falco, I recommend a big stage like Dream Land.
