I've been out of the Smash loop almost a year (and likely staying that way), but is this normal now o_O? Anything interesting happen with Link since like June 2016 lol?T playing on stream right now. Let's go!
He beat Nakat 3-0.
T's been putting in work this year. He got 49th at Frostbite. This placement at Civil War though, is certainly not normal. It's amazing.I've been out of the Smash loop almost a year (and likely staying that way), but is this normal now o_O? Anything interesting happen with Link since like June 2016 lol?
Well that's cool. I also saw he took out K9SBruce before (2-1). Isn't Sheik a really crappy matchup for Link? I figure K9 would have some Link experience by playing Scizor and all.T's been putting in work this year. He got 49th at Frostbite. This placement at Civil War though, is certainly not normal.

The again, this whole tourney has been upset central.
I think T uses his bombs really well. Almost every time he hit with a bomb, he followed up with something. He plays Tsu tomorrow, which will be fun to watch.Well that's cool.

I watched the Nakat match, and on one hand T played super well, but I didn't exactly see anything he did that I wasn't aware of before. He just seemed to be able to grab Nakat a lot (reading habits?) and executed things pretty well. Commentators seemed to respect Link a lot more than what I remember though. T's in winners for top 32 right? That's pretty sick .
I don't know if K9 went Sheik or Diddy, but it's still a good win. I wish it was recorded. The Nakat match was kinda ugly, he respected Link a lot. Plenty of missed punishes and little pressure on T. T could also learn Dthrow combos better. Let's see how he does tomorrow, it'd be nice to see him get some revenge on Tsu.Well that's cool. I also saw he took out K9SBruce before (2-1).

He plays Abadango next.Wtf Link, get out of top 16 before you hurt yourself.
I really thought he was going to mess up game 5, since the nerves were clearly getting to him by the end. Thankfully rage Link was able to just barely finish Mewtwo off.What a day to be a Link main. This is insane!
Considering how Bowser and DK are midtiers, I don't think Link is high tier. 'B' is high tier btw.During the T vs Tsu match, the commentators said Link wasn't a high tier character. Time to contest that statement.
Of course people remember the least sensible of many people to say Link was underrated. He also said Link beats Sheik +2 and Ganon's Usmash combos into its self.People are joking Radical Larry has been vindicated on the tourney thread and smashbros reddit xD.
Now we need to get Dumbfire off the Sheik/Wii Fit Trainer. Wii Fit Trainer bro? WHY?!I may have made the odd smug remark, dw. "Do you think anyone will put Link in bottom 10 again next time?"
I would suggest watching Scizor's analysis, it's pretty solid.Does anyone have any interesting analyses on T's matches?
I'm trying to learn from his playstyle, as he has had the most succes with Link so far. But, and this is not taking away any of the great accomplishment that T made, when I look at his matches I don't see him doing something very special.
Sure, he makes nice bomb conversions, and he also seems to play very well in disadvantage, but when I compare him to other notable Link players, who have arguably more flashy styles with more combo's and AT's , it becomes hard to pinpoint why exactly T gets such high placings.
Is he just more effective? Better at reading people? Understands match-ups better?
Interested to hear others opinions.
P.S. GO T! Thanks for showing the world what Link can do!
Yeah definitely Knuckles & KnucklesWhat the h*** is this sh- oooooh right; it's April Fool's Day. Well if any character deserves more recognition it's Knuckles.
lol i only use sheik for doubles, LInk is garbage in doubles anyway, catch me force cat off him.Now we need to get Dumbfire off the Sheik/Wii Fit Trainer. Wii Fit Trainer bro? WHY?!
Oooo, I've been looking for the T/Scizor set. Mind sending it to me?lol i only use sheik for doubles, LInk is garbage in doubles anyway, catch me force cat off him.
Link shouldn't be able to do anything if people think in doubles... Just throw him offstage, then if he jumps back anti air him force him offstage without jump and then just let him be. Link has a slow and linear recovery that basically forces him towards the ledge, so instead of going after him and trying to gimp him and so forth (check fatality with RB in doubles vs t and scizor only reason it's close is cause fatality keeps chasing the links) just force him to waste 15 seconds at a time recovering while his teampartner is getting teamcombod or kill confirmed. needles make this even easier. force link to approach you that way too, then you can stuff his mediocre approaches.
I'd rather not go sheik at all i feel like lawz the traitor, we got 9th at BEAST doubles with full Cloud + Wii Fit, but thing is cloud is everywhere in doubles and is too good vs wii fit, massively outranges and easy ways to kill him, forces him to respect too much and just drift offstage if hit by anything while teampartner is opened up... it's not sustainable, I needed to get a sheik to counter the clouds or people who would separate us well. not the only one forced off character by circumstances
I can't find it, that's also why I didn't link it; it'll come online soon in all likelihood. They won game 2 and were on the verge of winning game 3 until some stocks were lost early, but it was mostly errors in the Link MU and their doubles play, not the inherent abilities of Link in doubles (indeed they lost soon after in losers, never quite getting anywhere).Oooo, I've been looking for the T/Scizor set. Mind sending it to me?
I don't use Link in doubles either, he's too slow. Corrin works better.
That doesn't excuse you using Wii Fit in singles though!

What's wrong with Wii Fit Trainer though :@
