I just had a conversion with another link on netplay about this.
I feel the same way. Having no link match up experience sucks. I don't know why but when people are beat by Link they always seem to want a ditto... When you don't have any match up experience in the ditto you don't do as well as you think you should and, either just barely win ,or like two stock them.
When someone calls my character, or competence with my character into question, I want to stomp them. Like 3 stock stomp, but Link get's ****ed by Link in so many ways and so easily someone who has never played link before or has minimal knowledge can get a stray hit and and **** you up, because of how easily link combos and gimps link.
Of course this only happens when the guy dittoing me can play smash. I'm obviously not talking about new players.
This match up is very odd. With all of the projectiles flying around and easy combos it becomes very important to stay safe. I would say it is very similar to a falco v falco in how hard link can trash link, except in close range, link is so unsafe against another link that it becomes very important to know what is and isn't safe for you to do.
I don't really know where I'm going with this. I've had a bit of practice in this ditto, but I still have trouble with it. If you didn't live in Australia I would be very happy to netplay you and get some more match up experience myself.
