As all of you know, Young Link is not great character by any means. In fact, some of you may say he actually sucks. However, there are some HARD facts that remain that ALL of you would agree on(hopefully )
1. He is better than most, if not all of the low tiers. He has some of the best match ups against the mid-top tier characters than most of the other low tiers wish they had.
2. He has sooo many perks to him. The best camping game(next to Fox), one of the quickest characters in the game, a disjointed hit box for his main attacks, some of the best edge guarding abilities(he has so many options for every match up) and of course he is very fun to play. =)
3. Well..I could sit here a list stuff all day as to why Young Link is better than most people think he is, and thats fine. I accepted where he was on the last tier list because well..it kinda just grew on me.
BUT
I CANNOT.
ABSOLUTELY
POSITIVELY
WILL NOT
Accept the fact that Mewtwo AND Zelda ARE ABOVE HIM NOW.
And wtf why is Roy TIED with him!?!?!??!?!?
THIS IS MADNESS TO THE GREATEST DEGREE

And all of you know this for FACT(assuming of course you guys share the same opinions as me )
Now lets just discuss tiers for a moment, specifically low tier where Young Link resides. It is pure fact that Young Link absolutely destroys Mewtwo. It is like a 90-10 match up and anyone that argues otherwise has never played the match up. If I remember correctly, I think Jash mentioned Taj quit out of a match against him. It is also pure fact that Young Link destroys Zelda. I can't even begin to fathom a way for Zelda to actually win that match up. I mean seriously. Its Zelda. Shes slow..theres no way for her to stop him from camping all day. Her Nayru's love is very easy to punish and because shes floaty she just gets combo'ed to hell.
So. Let me ask you this. Why are two characters right above Young Link in the low tier that he absolutely decimates?
Okay. So you say they have better match ups than him? I disagree. Young Link has decent match ups against Ice Climbers, Jiggs, Peach, does alright against Marth, Sheik, Falco and Falcon(by alright I mean they have the clear advantage but its not unwinnable) and gets destroyed by Fox.
Mewtwo and Zelda? I don't see their match ups being that good. Maybe Mewtwo has some decent match ups..but really..ZELDA!?!?!? REALLY?
Shes terrible lol.
And let me not even get started on Roy and why he is tied for the same place as YL.
Okay maybe I'm being pretty biased here. But I'm sure you all get my point. Young Link is CLEARLY being under appreciated. Because of this, I will now be playing Young Link way more often in tournament. I encourage you all to do the same.
Come on guys. Young Link is not NEARLY as bad as the community is making him out to be.
We must stand together as a community. As a group. And as one single Young Link community, we will rise above and destroy the evil that is Zelda and Mewtwo being above us and leave Roy behind in the dust! And while we're at it, lets claim that mid tier spot that we deserve as well!
LETS DO IT GUYS! WHO IS WITH ME!?
