I think it comes down to whoever wants it the most.

youre right, i didnt do well, but i also didnt get *****. And you must not know much about link, you must be the typical person that follows tiers. If you try hard enough, you can master any character, except maybe bowser lol. Have you not seen aniki defeat ken? Have you not seen lord hdl, germ, and skler? Link isnt the best character, but he definately isnt a bad character. So learn your **** homie...

Simple, but wise words.
Really? People still bring up aniki vs ken? Yes, we've all seen aniki beat ken in one friendly before getting ***** in tournament. That said link/marth isn't as bad as say, link sheik. It's winnable as are some of links other upper tier matches, thats why he is where he is on the tier list, but as someone who actually knows skler and what he thinks about link, don't throw around names and assume it makes you right. Link is bad, tiers exist, deal with it.

hah ok bro.
So by "not getting *****," I'm going to assume you mean "I didn't get JV5-stocked," because placing last in a tournament doesn't exactly fit your description.
Beat!

Yes, the price of guts is falling lately.

wow, this is ridiculous. The community somehow still gets new people into the competitive scene of a ten year old game, and instead of being happy about this miracle, we rip the kid down for an obvious lack of in depth knowledge of the game (which is impossible, being new to the competitive scene)
This communities' ego is going to be it's downfall.
I think it would be much more helpful to just be honest with him, don't need to sugar coat it, but the sarcasm doesn't help anyone.
Here's some advice.
A Link without a bomb in his hand is ****
Don't get grabbed by sheik.
Get above falco and nair.
This wont save you from ****, but it's a good lubricant (:

So much hate towards link and people that want to master him...sigh, I guess this is more motivation to become a world-class player with link.
I got 5th and you really need to work on your techskill :X
You should try and play with taylor/ go to dibbz.

wait, are you avery or the other dude that played with marth lol?

Smash Journeyman
nevermind, saw the results lol. Dude i was baked, totally forgot i had to play again, against you.
Your maining Link or wanting to master him or whatever is irrelevant. A low tier is a low tier because he is simply not that great, which becomes most apparent at higher levels of play. Given your current status, I have to admit that there's so much room for improvement that you probably won't even notice that ceiling for a good while, but it's unrealistic to say that Link is totally underrated in a game that's seen 10 years of play by now, at least seven of those years competitively.
My antagonism mostly stems from people who try to talk themselves up when they're not at a significant point yet. Don't confuse it with discrimination of the character you main, which seriously doesn't matter at all.

lol dude to be honest, i could care less about what you just said. I love melee, and I love playing link. Bottom line is im not switching mains and i wanna **** with link. So deal with it lol
Deal with what? There's nothing stopping you from ****** people with Link. Admittedly you probably won't manage against, say, Mew2King using Sheik, but pretty much every character has seen some level of success in some really great player ****** others players who aren't quite up top.
Again, I don't give a **** about who you main or who you want to main. If you keep bringing that up though, I'll start thinking you have some sort of complex about it.

Disagree about puff
Hungrybox's secret is not really his b-air spam but the fact that he adapts to players extremely well
the fact that he b-airs so much is pretty much a gameplan setup where he can adjust to opponents based on what they do, that's why he usually gets rocked 1st game/ first few stocks then suddenly starts ****** people (either that or he pisses them off too much to make mistakes). i've literally never seen him miss a dash attack after he seems to figure out an opponent
(don't think i like hbox i think hes a doosche)

good luck using link, you can probably get good enough in your region to place top 3

Oh, you mean like when Ken and M2K dominated the metagame with Marth for several years?
Clearly the only possible explanation is that the character is broken.
Clearly.
Puff isn't broken, and she requires extremely good execution at top level, just like the other chars. Deal with it.
Edit: Just realized that I might've skimmed S2J's post too fast. Are you saying that Puff doesn't take that much execution skill after all? If that's what you're saying then I guess I'll take your word for it lol.
