meh, your Link is ok, the PT videos were fun. The level of play from you and your opponents were not as good as a lot of Links who have posted videos here. Maybe challenge Xyro and see if you can beat his Samus. :o

i'm posting to get tips so i can get better, not to display skill

Not a bad Link at all, considering you just started him.

Few things:

-your approach is too direct - you constantly just dash to your opponent, mix it up a bit

-aim/use your projectiles better, in the first PT match especially you seemed to just be throwing them randomly

-I cannot tell you how many times I saw the opponent saved from your KO attack because they got caught in the boomerang tornado. Don't abuse your boomerang, it's not the best thing to throw out once the opponent is off stage

-way too much dash -> upsmash. in the PT matches, way too much upsmash in general

-incorporate some tilts into your game, and learn AT's

It seemed as the matches went on, you progressively got better and more varied. But, your opponents were a bit stupid at times.

Again, its not bad at all for a relatively new player. Just some of those things to work on. I recommend reading all the stickies, sub zero's bomb guide, and my beginner guide to help you.

Where is the Zair?! You did so many empty SHs and I was waiting for the Zair! You need to Zair. (From what I saw in the vs ROB vid) And learn the ATs what help out a lot. And you need more rang. Rang is like my best friend. And where'd the arrows go? D: Too much bombs too. Basically, just vary your projectile spam a bit more and you're set. :D

thanks for the great comments, i have about 20 matches recorded against my roomate that we did yesterday, i'll post some of the better ones, btw, if you didn't notice i love playing a super aggresive link. i have only been playing link for two weeks and mostly drunk, keep the comments coming b/c i like link and he's super fun

like its bin mentioned zair is brilliant, especially against big players like ROB.
also unlike other characters link cant afford to mess about when off the stage, especially if your opponent is a good edgeguarder
When off the stage make your first priority to get as close to the stage as possible to avoid SDs

 

[Kikuichimonji]

WAY too many SDs. You're a heavy character - one of your advantages is supposed to be that you're hard to get off the stage. I personally like the edgeguarding, but you need to be more mindful of your own ability to get back. At the end of two of the matches, you would have lost another stock after the opponent died. Anything other than a nair or bair will probably get you killed.

Great arrows. Except for the ones where they're hanging on/underneath the ledge. You're just leaving yourself open. Instead, consider an nair, or hopping a dair right by the ledge.

Do you use the DAC? It's really good.

Bomb dropping is a great technique, especially because it's animation-less. Also, remember you can catch and reuse bombs you throw upwards.
