Salty Toon Link Counter-picks on For Glory?

[Rewrite]

What's up with salty Toon Link counter-picks against Sonic on For Glory? I've noticed lately that whenever I body someone as Sonic, the next match usually sees my opponent picking Toon Link even though it's obvious they don't play the character and don;t properly know how to use him.

What gives here? Why specifically Toon Link? It's not a positive match-up for the little green elf-dude, and I tend to just body them even harder. Is it that they want to try to wall me out with projectiles? If that's the case then Duck Hunt is a better option. They also spam down air a lot.

I know it's bad, and some what salted, people trying to take a game off Sonic, but why Toon Link of all characters?

I want to ask the Toon Link boards, but first i wanted to see if any other Sonic mains here have had a similar experience. What do you guys think?

I guess they believe online lag will help them hitting with projectile spam and walling.

Pretty much this^

Projectiles are a pain if you're not able to PS consistently.

Not to mention the be-hit-by-a-projectile-and-then-land-with-airdodge-lag-because-you-tried-to-PS-but-lag-screwed-you-up scenario.
