Help me become the number 1 Link on these boards.
Do grounded arrows, dair when above someone, roll a lot, shield grabbing is really safe for punishing, his offstage game is really great so go deep for those gimps, combo break everything with nair. Just mash the A button.

Now you should be good.

Don't forget to roll behind everyone and fish for downsmash.

All you need to know is @ Elessar Elessar is like Sheldon. Having him as a moderator is like playing with a double blade sword. He will do an excelent job as a moderator (if you put him underground as an slave) but he is horrible managing ppl. 0 ppl skills. Just fyi.
Funny. I've been told I am very Sheldon like too.

Just tap B rapidly while holding forward and then charge Usmash as long as possible.

Or at least, that's what I usually see from FG players when I defeat their first character with Ganon.

This seems to be a very unorthodox character thread compared to most of the other ones I look through.

I like it.

Also always pick the Fierce Deity costume. It will 100% of the time make every opponent take you seriously.

Okay, you guys are taking the "thick skinned" Link boards way too far. He's a pre-teen (idk his age, sorry if I'm wrong) for God's sake. It's one thing to "flame" and it's another thing to go borderline cyber bullying, not cool.
Lawz for mod.

Okay then.
What's the point of having a in-game tip suggesting jab 2 to cancel into a finisher if it doesn't even work?

I vote Link for moderator of the Link threads. And yes I mean :4link:.
...well that seems to be worked out. Now we can go back to *****ing about Sakurai nerfing Link's jab.
You know, I really want to tell you guys to stop complaining about Link's jab nerf as it really seems like you overreacting yet I know that if I do, I will be basically a walking target here. So I'll keep my mouth shut. Though is the reason why it's a nerf because it stops Link from trapping opponents and then combo into a finisher?

I would rather use the words "viable setup if any" instead of "trap" but tomato, tomato. It mostly has to do with using a quick option to setup a kill. Without it we have to rely on reads and punishes, making Link essentially Ganon with no kill power (that also has projectiles).

I kind of agree about dwelling on the jab nerf, though we're not just mindlessly complaining about it; usually if someone mentions it it's because they just got out of the lab trying to cook up new ways to set up strings, combos, and kills. Personally, I just went back to J2, making sure to shield for when people tend to try and nair out, and dropkick-like combos. I've also gotten a lot better at using nair and fair at earl percents as well as timing staled nairs at mid percents.

Just curious, are ditto matches more common for Link than any other character on FG or..?
I haven't been on FG a lot recent, but I haven't really fought a lot of Links on my time there.

I would suspect that Mewtwo currently is experiencing the most dittos. I was on FG just last night going Link and Ganon and I think about 50% of my matches were Mewtwos. I had one Link ditto but that's it.

Since some of us are talking about the jab... I didn't play Brawl competitively so my jab timing is off. How do you all time the jab 1->2 so that it Links into attacks? Is there some sort of visual cue or do you just feel it out?
