I didn't find a Q&A thread here, so here's my question...

Why did ya'll main/secondary Link over Young Link? I'm not saying it's a bad decision (seeing as he's slightly higher on the tier list it's probably for the better), but what are the reasons you actually did. For the heavier weight, larger bombs, because he's higher on the tier list, or whatever. State your reasons :p

I've posted this on the Young Link boards, but converted slightly for them, of course. Here's the thread: http://www.smashboards.com/showthread.php?p=9287089#post9287089

Thanks, I've just been thinking about this for a while... :chuckle:

I never really thought about why I never picked up Link...
Y Link is cool and all but I just prefer Link overall, I find them to be the same character just one being smaller in a lot of things. Size, hookshot, boomerang, and in killing power.

Plus liking link isn't considered CP. ;D

In all seriousness, I suck at controlling YLs boomerang. It's either straight out, straight up, or straight down. I don't like that ._.

D20 for YL's. MVP right there.

I was sick as ****, Jash plays Brawl. Rhan and Laijin may have been the only ones excited about the idea lol

Shaeman you are ****ing awesome too bro I really wanted to play you more (I only played like 30 whole matches @ the whole tourney, sucks)

I enjoyed watching all the Links at this thing, especially HDL vs SilentSpectre friendlies

I strongly believe link has the advantage over young link in this matchup, they do better vs other people though. Also link has up B which as a good killer young links up b is like i jump out now and then fsmash you.
