We have a rule about double posting. You barely waited half an hour between those. What exactly is your problem? And furthermore, what the hell are you talking about?

Probably wouldn't team with another Link main anyway. Pretty much asking to get 0-2'd at that point.

You just popped out of nowhere and answered a question that had nothing to do with you. Also http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=soon&defid=4387130

Still, I was answering your question. That´s not bad. Right?

I can see that you really want to see it. Many people do. The match will be up in a couple of days max 1 week maybe.

Let me tell you something "soon" is the carrot strung in front of a load bearing mule. Izaw also said it'd be up Wednesday a month ago. That mule starved to death long ago.

One thing I've found that Link does well in doubles is, surprisingly, rushdown. Well, a better way to word it would be "anti-rushdown". By having Link being the offensive character, you can offensively counteract the opposing team's offensive member with our superior disjoint in fair, f-tilt and jab at low to mid percent. At higher percent Link has the knockback to create temporary 2v1s by keeping an opponent far offstage. It's important to not be playing defensive, as we don't fare well in doubles edge guarding situations, where we have less time to pull bombs, so aggressor feels like the best way to play doubles.

^ Ooh, tough match up. It could go either way, nigh invincible ninja Onii-san vs the Urobutcher's favorite chew toy.
Call it a 55/45 in the viewers favor...

Welp, with that stirring analysis completed, I away to my ostrich burrow once more.
(Phew, I feel sorry for people who go to school working two jobs. I'm tired enough between one and the other.)

Wheo released another video with Link tips or what not. Anything of note here that either wasn't known or is practical?

I figured grounded DAir is hard enough to hit normally, but I'm curious whether the followups after the second one are useful.

Cool. Link has his fun ledge stalling things from other games, and you can do more than up air out of double dog dairs... which should have been obvious if I'd played with it.

In Melee and Brawl the ledge tricks were used to mitigate the ledge guarding section of the eternal struggle that was recovering with Link. Mainly as something you can do to screw up the opponent's timing and rhythm so you can get back onstage properly or net a punish. It was also good as something you can do subconsciously to stall and watch your opponent. See what they're fishing for, if their spacing is proper, what options they're covering, or make them hesitant to jump down and hurt you so close to the ledge. Though especially in Brawl it was ultimately useless since any competitive character could go off-stage and gimp your weak recovery before you even got to that point. Not that you could always reach the stage even if they left you alone, but since it was the only thing you could do so you got good at it anyway. Now Link's recovery isn't Magikarp. So who knows.

The other situational Link combos can always be added to the gigantic list of situational Link combos that define his character. They also look cool and if you pull them off your opponent will say, "Whoah." Down air is always going to carry the risk they'll dodge and you'll get stuck with your sword in the ground, so that forever limits it's use as a grounded attack. You can use the boomerang lag cancel trick or blow yourself up, but... Well, if they're open to it, you now have options that pay better dividends. That's always good, and the bounciness makes it much safer on shield. Pogoing off the opponent's shield and walking away never stops entertaining or frustrating.

In doubles Izaw managed to clutch out a match where the opposing team had 3 stocks left, his partner was out of stocks, and he only had 1 stock left. It was just him playing very patiently, one SD of sorts later to make it 1 v 1 again, and Izaw just outplaying the last player despite the percent deficit.

Izaw got knocked into losers by MVD (2-0), didn't get to see the set though. He's still in losers atm.
