You were like...I really hate it when people base match ups on one or two sets (which I kind of just did), so I jokingly made it seem like I thought you were talking to me.

@ Jash: where'd your old sig go? It was so cool!

@ cort: What are some ways for peach to approach marth and fox? Should I even approach them or let them come to me (turnip spam!)?

It's matchup knowledge Jash; you have regular access to good/decent Peaches...there are virtually 0 young links out there, so you have lots of practice against Peaches, while its hard to find a good young link. Add in the fact that its a super annoying match anyway, and of course you're going to be beating Peaches who don't have any experience in the match up. Just because one player is skilled at a match up doesn't make it a counter.

IMO this is a john post. This game has been out for 7 years, and you mean to tell me that after ALL that time.....you don't know how to fight 1 character? Just say Young Links the best or something GOSH! lolz.

Do I hear some johns? :p

Character matchup knowledge comes with experience and experience is what makes a player better, so if you lack experience to beat a certain character, your loss. So no johns. I can tell that ylink is pain to fight in general (I have to deal with 3 ylinks here with kirby on low tier tourneys, how annoying is that then?) but just use your head and don't rush into projectiles, peach has her own that soar longer anyway. Once ylink doesn't have a bomb you can approach a lot more safely. Also...

For those who wanna see one awesome combo you can do to ylink. :p

Gah, help vs Marth dtilt when he's spaced. x_x Everything I do only works for a few times and I always get shieldpoked on the second hit or so. I can only roll back, roll behind marth or sidestep if I have some timing but yea.. dtilt spam is so annoying and if I try to fc from shield, that's like asking to get fsmashed if he's not right up on my face. >_> And crouch cancel counter needs some serious luck and timing too, I don't find it very reliable...

God I hate marf. x_x
