Let's talk about Link.

[KirbyKaze]

just pillaring

 

[Shaeman111]

usually a shield-dash would work for me, or nair/uair out of shield
rolling is good.
idk how else u could deal with it

 

[KirbyKaze]

i find link's slow jump makes it difficult to get away from fox via wd or nair oos when he's pillaring and rolling against fox in general is high risk

then again i don't have anything better so sure why not

 

[Fileffel]

Ice cream FTW!

My friend's mom used to own the Dairy Queen in the town I used to live in. Free stuff was epic.

unless u wana take the risk of an up-b out of shield, link has no choice
that's why he's generally a bad character to use when fighting fox.
it's hard to avoid good pressure.

when my sheild is getting pressure by shines im scared to Up B, once you miss your Spin you have a high chance loosing your stock or recieve a large amount of damage. I should start scrahing out of my sheild more when getting pressure against shines to see whats the best move oos to deal with shine pressures.

 

[Shaeman111]

change it up between all your options
link CANNOT be repetitive... and i'm scared to up-b at ALL against fox, but its better than grabbing o_O

mhm 100% agree.
but yeah for someone reason im scurd to spin oos.
I think pulling off a mindgame out of sheild will throw your opponent off. FJ bomb grab oos.
=D im prolly gonna get vids this weekend =D
anyways. it sucks to play a dying breed, Link.

 

[Shaeman111]

haha or is it?
ive won so many tourneys cuz no one knows the matchup where i live XD

 

[Stos]

wow so i faced Raynex today.
So i would CC him, then he would CC my downsmash to Dtilt or something and im like 0.0, you ****ing *****.
lol so gaay. I started using Spin when my sheild is getting shine pressured and its actually worth it..

 

[Shaeman111]

Yes!
New Discovery!
Up-b During Shine Pressure!!

Ftw

 

[Stos]

Yes!
New Discovery!
Up-b During Shine Pressure!!

Ftw

mix it up.
Up B oos or Fj Nair.
for super mindgames that wont prolly work: Usmash oos XD

 

[Shaeman111]

FJ UP OOS Land on the Top Platform.
XD
naw serious talk.
Fj Nair or Spin.
or simply buffer roll.

 

[4 Aces]

Just wondering, but if a Fox were to be frame-perfect, would Link (or any character) be able to buffer a roll/do anything?

 

[Shaeman111]

probably not, since they made everything about link so slow, and everything about fox so fast
i mean, link's the only person who actually ROLLS in his games, they should be longer/faster.

 

[AlcyoNite]

a non-frame perfect fox could easily infinite shine a link

buffering a roll would require ur shield to appear; cant do that if ur in a combo, especially considering link's weak smash DI

 

[Shaeman111]

Lol, new link guide

1.When fighting fox , wait for combo to end, then run away.
Have pointless attempts at projectile camping, and get murdered by fox approach.
2.Wait for his combo to end again, and run away again.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 and you'll have the best bet at not being 4-stocked.
Oh and theo, check out raynex's fox

 

[elvenarrow3000]

Technically if you're in shield and a Fox is multishining you frame perfectly, you could buffer a roll or a spotdodge, but you'd get shined before you became invincible because there would only be one frame where you weren't in shieldstun and the frame after, he shines you again.

 

[Shaeman111]

link gotta eat that shine for breakfast and hope the fox doesnt combo after that

 

[idea]

Just wondering, but if a Fox were to be frame-perfect, would Link (or any character) be able to buffer a roll/do anything?

i'm told if fox were frame perfect he'd just win (or falco) cause his shine comes out on frame 1 and tends to beat everything, so you could just keep doing that. same with bowser's up-b. so i guess whatever the priority order is for those moves would be the winning order too =P raynex keeps telling me this

 

[Skler]

Elvenarrow is correct!

Fortunately no Fox can multishine that fast for long enough to do something like that. You can also just light shield and you'd eventually get pushed too far for him to keep JCing shines on you, though if they were good enough to do perfect JC shines they'd just WD over and keep doing it.

 

[elvenarrow3000]

Whirling Fortress and Screw Attack for that matter would beat out the shine because they have invincibility frames before the hitboxes, so the shine wouldn't hit them, then the Fox/Falco would get hit.

 

[Stos]

why is the **** motha****in' Link boards so dead ? =(

 

[elvenarrow3000]

I blame people that only ask Skler stuff and ignore everyone else.

 

[Stos]

yeah =(
look what i found.

that was long time ago though hehe.

 

[elvenarrow3000]

We need to rally behind something to bring back these boards.

 

[Stos]

indeed.
how about.
we record videos of our links and make new threads to post them =D

 

[elvenarrow3000]

Hmmm... I would do that if I could record videos and if my Link was anything special. Unfortunately, he's just a mini-Marth at the moment.

 

[Shaeman111]

Hmm, well this weekend were getting our capture card.
so maybe i can post some matches from this weekend
i had a pretty funny combo at the end of a crew battle we won yesterday.
it was on a fox. i think it was, dash attack, d-smash, dash attack, dash attack, dash attack, d-air?

 

[elvenarrow3000]

Dash attacks are sooo slow @_@

 

[MikeHaggarTHAKJB]

He was probably at a high percent. Fox has so much stun and doesn't go very far so that's prolly possible if they DI away

 

[Shaeman111]

Yeah you'll see when it gets posted, it's simply retarted.
But beautiful.

Link>All sense in this universe.
Link>logic
Link>physics
Link>toast

 

[Stos]

yeah im planning to make a combo video =D

 

[Skler]

I've also been considering a combo video.

One with only tournament footage.

Unless I can't find enough tournament footage.

Then I might have to use something other than tournament footage.

Why bother? Just upload the matches the last time we met in tourny and put music to it x__x
btw I'm going to wreck you in tourny the next time we meet. The chances of us meeting aren't good so I can say things like that and not have to worry about backing them up

 

[Stos]

if i how a tourney will you guys come?
i am likely to host one around february.
thiers also a tourney in Naigara, december 20th. No threads yet.
Naigara is like the border of Canada and US.
any of you guys come up hur? =D

 

[Skler]

Have one on the boarder of NH and Canada. Mainehampshire would go then, or at least I would.

Edit: If it's a big tourny I'd probably go regardless.

 

[Stos]
