Link is NOT a bad character in brawl. In fact i'm starting to get rather impressed with him.
Initially, i hated link. As a melee link mainer, i was dissapointed. I felt he got nerfed like crazy. however, he's grown (and continues growing) on me. He seems overall stronger, with his attacks doing more damage. His bombs are stronger, and seem to have a larger hit box with the explosion. His arrows have a different arch than toon link's...and for some reason, whether it be a random mental thing or something to do with my spacing game...i like them better. His boomerang brings the opposing player towards you when they block it, and although at first i hated this, i've learned that it's a great way to set up a smash or grab after the boomerang pulls them towards you. His up air KO's at crazy early percents (for brawl that is), his back air is useful for starting small combos, and im slowly falling in love with his forward air. His up smash is awesome. His tether recovery is still sick (for mindgames, not so much recovery), and his up B is still useful sometimes out of his shield.
The only things im starting to not like is that 1: bomb jumping is near impossible now, because as soon as you even tap down b to pull out a bomb...you free fall to your death. And 2: the second slash on his forward smash now rarely connects because of the increased knockback in brawl.
Even still, this is coming from a Marth mainer. And as a marth user, im starting to notice that about 90 percent of the community is either maining or alting with marth. That bugs me, because at the first brawl tournament i go to, i don't want the first match to be "marth vs marth", and the second round to be "marth vs marth". You get the picture. Because of this, and my suddenly strong like of link's play style...i am officially becoming a Link mainer.
All of you guys who tried to prove the point that Link was a good character...you were right.
i was wrong.
Thanks for proving me wrong
