Fox wins, but not even close to as bad as it was in meleeWhat do people think about the Link vs. Fox matchup?
I don't use facebook, so that could be an issue! Where in Chicago is it? I'm not in Action Heights anymore, I'm up in Waukegan...which would probably put me further away if anything...Vro posts about it in the Chicago-land Melee Facebook group, you should try joining or asking someone to invite you! It's a long drive from Arlington Heights because of traffic though, it took me ~1.5 hrs to get there whenever I came from Buffalo Grove.
We also have the side-A, the side-down, the strong-up...This just in, new IKE technique
we're calling it the dashslash

Ike for god tier, just look at that guy's moves
Ganon's dash dance isn't that good anyway, so first try doing it fast and then try finding when the run animation starts.Great mod! Can anyone Dash Dance with Ganon? It doesn't work for me.
Fox is a pain when he plays aggressive, fortunately my friend thinks the defensive Fox works lol but when he gets aggressive you have to be very careful, you screw up on keeping Fox at a good distance and you're screwed, and it tough because he's so fast, Fox definitely has the advantage but I've been playing the matchup so long that I've stopped dash dancing and whatnot because those lazers across FD don't let meWhat do people think about the Link vs. Fox matchup?

True, but from my experience in the Marth:Fox MU, Marth has a bit of trouble in CQC. He lacks good OoS options, like a sex kick or an upB, both of which Link has. Marth can definitely space better than Link can, but I think Link can get out of tight spots better without getting nair/drillshined into oblivion.I dunno about that comparison. They might have comparable range or speed on certain attacks, but overall quite different. Marth has tools that make fighting Fox easier, one key difference being mobility. Link on offense and defense is not a swift guy. Marth covers enough ground in both scenarios to help him deal with Fox camping/approaching. It's much easier to bait out the Nair with dash dance and grab it with Marth for example, or Fox that's laser camping you run at him and cover mucho ground.
Well, to be fair, I only said that their grounded moves were comparable. I'm well aware that Marth is much faster in the aerial department. Marth's utilt doesn't really cover more space than Link's and I don't think it's faster, either. They just have different arcs, causing them to cover different areas of space effectively. I kinda like Link's utilt arc more, 'cause of how completely it covers his body. His bair and nair may not be sword attacks, but they're really fast pressure-relieving moves that help out a lot in a pinch. All this said, I'm not disputing anything you said, and I'd definitely believe that this MU is in Fox's favor.Actual attack wise, Link doesn't have a comparable Fair and he doesn't get the benefit of sword for Nair + Bair which are probably his 2 most likeliest aerials to be tossing out. Tilt wise they might be about the same, maybe small edge to Marth his Dtilt and Utilt may have better range or faster (along with the huge Utilt arc). Marth's overall ground game is much smoother than Link's and his projectiles aren't that effective at zoning/camping for this MU where as for the regular MU he can control quite a bit of ground/short air areas.
lol no, Marth's Forward-smash >>> all Link's ground movesI'm willing to say that Link's grounded moves are just as fast as Marth's, too.
i laughed harder at this than i shouldvelol no, Marth's Forward-smash >>> all Link's ground moves
You don't think it does?i laughed harder at this than i shouldve
...w-wha...lol no, Marth's Forward-smash >>> all Link's ground moves
When did I say I get hit with it a lot? I rarely do.You shouldnt be getting hit with marth's raw fsmash that much.
You can also block it and wavedash oos dsmash to punish it.
