im a peach player and i admit Y.Link does counter peach but the way to play young link is that you have to not let him get any space on you and you have to always try to stay close to him otherwise a annoying Y.Link would just spam projectiles all day so if you know how to play a young link smart its not that much of a counter.

I'm not as good as Chu Dat and I've beaten his Ylink before. It's not a counter.
Can i see the matches where you won because i was trying to find them but i could only find these ones where you lost lol.

Not every match I play has been recorded. I already pointed out that set in a previous post, anyways - that's about the first major tourney where I debuted my Peach as my main.

young link is just a pain in the *** to peach. jash has shown me that.. lolz.

everyone is saying that a smart and defensive peach can win. well.. a smart and defensive ANYTHING can win, and what happens when the young link is smart and defensive as well??

it's far from impossible to win this match up cuz peach can edge guard young link really well, and with his sucky recovery, it's hard for him to return after a strong hit. but I'd rather not use peach against him just to be safe.

I must play this Jash. I've never had too much trouble with a young link. The only time I would lose is to someone of a significantly higher skill than me.

I play that boy Jash alot, he is in my crew, And I say he knows how to abuse her weakness and weight very well. He abuses Peach players. And very skilled ones at that. If quite hard to deal with his Y.link. Though I beat him here and there. He gets more wins in, but I do take him out a decent amount of times. I say we go at it back in forth, but he gets me more........lil brat......lol, j/k. But Yes his Y.link Vs Peach game is well solid. But I love that fight, to me is fun. I have to be thinking and have to out smart him hardcore, and I think I get better just by playing him.

o noes i plai yung leenk i pik'd a rly rly bad chracter. How do I sleepz at nite?!?!?!?!!!!?!?!!//1???!!!1!!

I kno!

i goes to teh ppl online

i ask them...

hav u kno dis??????

YL counters teh peach!

YL is like low tier

peach is like teh upper.

ZOMG VALIDATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

--------------------------------------------------
so in all honesty here.... are you guys being honest with yourself? Young Link SUUUUUUCKS, and anyone who mains him should have already come to terms with that. So what if YL happens to do better against peach than any of the other top tiers? He still sucks and Peach is a better character, generally and specifically in that matchup. People may argue that YL is given more options in the matchup leading to a counter, but the fact of the matter is that Peach still has way more things to do. You guys act like projectiles are this impenetrable wall, and that isnt the case. Its not particularly hard to approach as long as you dont blindly rush.

I think the more important question here is that you may be able to bring up maybe a couple of situations (old ones at that) where a YL triumphed over Peach, what about the COUNTLESS unmentioned times of peach ripping through YL's?

If you want a solid counter and a slightly unfair matchup for peach, look at fox.

Your husseling skills suck.

It does not matter how "Deadly" you think Y.Link is....better yet, Your Y.Link. Get the image out of your head that Y.Link cant lose to Peach. cause it has happen many times. just cause your good at the fight, dont mean you cant get your azz handed to you. Geez your the first Y.link player that like full of himself in this fight. This lil ego has gone on far enough. You forget what Peach you was getting your azz handed too when the other Peaches you played fail, and it happened more than once. It was fine before but this lil joke (if you are joking) is kinda getting old. So give it a rest. cause it was already explain how Peach beat him. He is no where near god. and with all the weapons and stuff he has on her, he is Low tier for a reason.

Meh, its nothng really, this talk happens all the time, which Im fine with it. Its just at times it tends to go a lil too far and just needs to cool down. Other than that, no beef between us, besides, thats what the MM within me and him are for.He may be a beast at the match up, be he is No god over Peach. Well not mines anyway.....

jash and vanz i'd be glad to own you =)

but oh when will that time ever come? college is indeed far more important than proving in denial YL's wrong.

perhaps G4S4???

i know... georgia, but you'll manage as i have.
A usual Peach comment against a Young Link user, i hope one day i play you.

lolz, GETM JASH!! you better be on ur way to the weekly.

on another topic, I'm <3 being unknown cause people swarm me with MMz :D

but I'd rather ditto XIF
Not to everyone your unknown :p. And I took your offer to show that Y.link is nothing more than a pest to Peach, though he can get his azz handed to him. Also I have been in a nice mood lately. So I thought By doing this you can understand the match up better and maybe one day you go Peach on Y.link and own.

And dont ditto him. I mean you can but you gotta stick to your offer, and he took it. So you gotta go Y.link on him in a MM. I suppose you can ditto him after. ButI watch what you ask for net time. this is the dude that created a new Peach. O_O!!

Stitchfaces work pretty well against Y. Link, apparently...

I just had a match against my friends Y. Link and I killed him twice with 1 super turnip. 4 well placed hits + edgeguarding = dead Young Link.

Jash/VaNz, XIF will wreck you guys... not because he's more talented (although he actually is), but because Peach is leagues better than YL. That is all.

You seem like a reasonable person about this. Can you take a look at my Y.Link guide and tell me what you think of it?

Wow Some one seems to be a lil full of themselfs.

Anyway. I dont think he is a counter to Peach at all. If you cant handle the spam then your done for. He is not that big of a pain to be called a counter.

Let me guess, a MM? Oh brother. The ego of smash these days. Well this is a nice way for my first time around the boards. You sure are a cocky one. XIF is a great player and is ranked I think. Its one thing to challenge someone to a fight, its another too be cocky and full of yourself. Its nice to defend yourself. But the way your doing it, its more than that. And from what I read, you come out of no where and challenge Peaches to a MM. XIF took it., then you.....what is the word.........punk out and say you wanna Peach ditto him? What happen to that Y.link MM Vs the Peaches? He is Peach right? But its fine, is none of my concern if you wanna be high and mighty. Have fun with your MM. Smell ya laters kid.

LoLz.. LoLz..

this is fun. saying that i would "rather" ditto him is not the same as saying that i wouldn't go YL. and thinking that I'm cocky.. lolz (NOT THIS AGAIN)

all i have to say is that smash is competitive game in which people that try hard tend to think highly of themselves after they accomplished a certain amount. now i'll the first to say that my name will stick out like a sore azz thumb next to the best players' names. and i don't really compete with them yet. but when reeeeeally random people start saying things that are definitely meant to be offensive, i have a way of handling them w/ MMz.

that is all.

This the very same Jash that, when I first met him, he said he didn't like Peach and that he was terrible in the matchup :p

I wanna MM the following people

Jash and Vanz - Ya Y.Links against my Peach (SOLO, not 2 Vs. 1, ***s XD). $5 MM

Jash - My Peach against your Peach. $5 MM
