Falco seems like he can effectively outspam Link, but I've never really faced a good Falco though.
Link can really take advantage of Falco's poor recovery and Falco can do the same to Link, I think.
At really close combat, I think Falco wins. At mid-range, it may be a tie.. Most of Link's moves are good here, but Falco's is faster.
I'm not completely sure about z-air vs falco's shine, they both are great spacing moves
At long range, Falco takes control
I'm having some trouble against Kirby.. At 0%, he can grab me and do that f-throw > u-air > grab > f-throw > u-air until 40% and then he can f-smash and sometimes even land a good hammer if I mess up
(the gonzo combo? some people might know it as that..)
DI doesn't work too well and Link isn't hard to grab.. Hell, you could punish his grab, his roll, his landing lag..
And then if he manages to do that combo near the edge, d-airing Link is too easy.. Edgeguarding Link in general is pretty easy for Kirby.
I don't think I have much problems with Kirby on the offense, but defensively, Link gets murdered by Kirby pretty easily..
