Smash Lord
I recently attended Darkrains brawl tournament in Kansas city MO. It was my first major smash bros tournament so i had no idea what to expect. I was able to make it out of pools and tie for 25th out of 80. I was also got the opportunity to play a ton of different players and characters and learn links character matchups at the highest lvl of play at this time. In reality, the new advances in metagame and constant discoveries of incredibly gay techiniques for all the other characters is going to keep link at the bottom of the tier list.
I along with Arkivezero(Sick brawl/melee link player) were the only link players at the tournament. I was dissapointed to see this but I really wasnt surprised. I dont think well be seeing any more link players placing top 5 in a major tourney at this point. Links, little tricks and strategys is just not enough to keep up with some of the roster. Link gets completely ***** by good pickachus, g&w's, Falcos, and kirbys. Metaknight and snake are the least of Links worries.
I was ultimately taken out by a lame falco that camped out on the opposite side of the stage doing short hopped double lasers repeatedly. With all that being said, I had a great time at the tournament and staying with darkrain & crew. The DK TTT i frequently play ended up placing third in the tournament after losing to DR's DK(DK is top tier no matter what scrubs say).
This definately wont stop me from maining link and using him in tournaments, but if you plan on placing well then you better find counter pick characters because links will not win tournaments.
