YL and Mario are probably the 2 most infuriating character to play against.

Falco's lasers stop everything.

Except a rebounding boomerang.

Getting above him is the hardest part of the match-up...

you guys talk about y. link as if he isn't a bad character.

I don't know how I feel about this.

Exactly my thoughts Ocean.

YLink v Falco is SO bad... Lasers beat everything. So does Dair...

It's kinda hopeless unless the Falco makes about 2 mistakes so we can actually get close enough to hit him. Cuz I know it's easy once we hit him at least once. Cuz then you just gotta focus on the follow up.

From what I recall. Dair trades with Uair.

Though i just got done with a local tourney. made like 5th or 6th out of like 13-15.

all YL. Then I decided to switch to Sheik and get 3 stocked by the Falcon that got 3rd. But the second match was PS v Young Link and a norrowly lost.

I was litterally using only bombs and Nair. Shaeman should have it recorded on his laptop.

On my laptop though I have the crew battle we did. I took 4 stocks and lost mine mostly to a Ganon.

I have a weakness for Ganon apparently...

I'll upload once I fix the frame rate.

Edit: also just a little add in note. I took 2 stocks off Tope's Sheik during a tourney match with YL.

Get at me.

the only thing I said was that you lived far away though.

When he goes to Pound and I pass down all my YLink knowledge to him and Smith.

And integrate it with all of Laijin's knowledge also.







That's when he will reinvent YLink.

the laijin-rhan debates about the spacies are one of the reasons i love the YL boards

He'll suck against Falco.

But will **** all other characters.

I'll teach him Samus at the same time.

FYI: I can beat mediocre Falcos...

falco is a really important matchup for me to know, considering how many NC falcos there are.

I'll be sure to pull you to the side and have you watch my mm then at P5. Its not that bad. You CAN outcamp him and u-air combos **** him. When hes off the ledge, n-air will always kill cause of his ****ty recovery. ;O

Remember. The key to the match up is to not get auto-combo'ed. If you can avoid that, you'll have an easier time. Just remember Falco is slow as balls horizontally and you'll have no problems out running that slow poke ;O
