aye aye!
i truly do believe link has potential.
the problem about link is that he can never be strongly powered in any one direction.
speed, knockback, range, priority, area, projectile, damage, weight, recovery etc....
he is not about any one attribute, he is about a delicate balance of all his resources.
he is the man who has the right tool for the job, you just have to know when to use it. I think that takes more learning.
And granted, you can say the same about him in melee, that doesn't change his tier position.
But I do believe in him. He has the most appliable ATs and tricks IMO.
the link that I have been working on since march 9th is actually more tricky and technical than the one of melee. Not many people listened when I talked about a specific technique, so now I'm spending my time harnessing it's possibility. I don't know if anybody can actually perform this technique as good as I can or if anybody is even using it at all. It is harder to perform than wavedashing in melee. Soon I will have a video up of a link that seems different than some of the ones we've been seeing on this forum lately. Then we can judge.
oh...and the technique CAN'T be used by toon link. So it's a link specific trick!
