I don't know if this helps you at all since it's a Young Link match, but have a look here:Can someone explain the Luigi matchup for me in general? Also what stages to pick. We do have several low tier tournaments here in Norway that allow for Luigi to be used. I feel I do better vs. him with Link rather than going Pikachu. I just lack overall knowledge.
i wasnt speaking of jiggs in particular if you want more specific then doc falco and sheikDon't grab against Jiggs unless you know for a fact that it's going to land. The jury is out as to whether or not it is useful to JC grab.
yeah i think link has better punish moves than grab.When to grab in general? That, I can't really describe. Just don't miss. Grab to punish. When you know they're going to roll past you, grab. When the dorf misses and l-cancel, grab. When you can predict their tech, grab. And so on. Grab isn't really a reliable combo starter because it's a little on the dangerous side. It's a lot like trying to start a combo with a rest.
whatA Fox even used the same punish on me.
so basically, "it depends"Well Link's grab can sometimes be his best punishing option and sometimes his only option to punish with. Link's d-throw generally leads to up-b, d-air, u-tilt -> d-air, or u-air (this all depends on characters and %).
You can basically use grab anytime your opponent uses an even somewhat laggy move on the ground and whiffs. Players that know the match-up won't give you this importunity often. Of course, you can also use grab any time you predict a sheild, but don't get greedy very often because if your opponent dodges or even simply jumps, your grab misses. For Link, it's better to just watch them shield and try to predic their OoS option or eventually go for a shield poke.
If they're coming from the air and landing in front of you, just block > grab. It happens to me a lot.i wasnt speaking of jiggs in particular if you want more specific then doc falco and sheik
Shield grab only works if your opponent uses a laggy move or misses an L-cancel (our grab takes 11 frames to come out). Umm I don't know what to say to a Ness main to help though.If they're coming from the air and landing in front of you, just block > grab. It happens to me a lot.
I've got a question for you guys, though. How do I deal with a campy Link? I'm a Ness main, and my friend likes to go to FD a lot. How do I deal with a campy Link? He throws Bombs and Boomerangs, and fires Arrows. He also blocks when I get close. Help, please?

If Fox was my problem, I would go to the Fox boards, not the Link boards. And you missed the part where I also stated bombs and boomerangs, along with the other stuff.If that guy's reliably keeping someone out with arrows he deserves to camp you.
The thing is, if you ask here, we're liable to start rooting for the Link.
FOX the least of your worries?!

You can also watch some videos to get an idea of what you could do.How can I learn to combo with Link?
I have my stage control down really well with Link but my up close game is not as good. How can I improve it?
