Please don't get kicked too much and fall for Zelda's Nayru Love projectile reflect bait. T__T

Main kill moves of each character.
Link:
-Up B (Grounded)
-F-Smash
-Dair
-Nair
-Fair (Is stronger then Nair but harder to time)
Young Link:
-D-Smash
-Dair
-Nair
-Dash Attack
-Fair (Is stronger then Nair but harder to time)
They may seem similar but they are VERY different from one another. Young Link's Dash Attack is very good at knocking people off the stage and setting up for a simple edge guard (AKA Nair). Link doesn't need to be all that projectile spammy. He mainly is about having the opponent come to him all the time. Using his projectiles to poke at the opponent. While Young Link is about having the opponent chase him around while pummeling him with projectile. Also Link's most a ground character while Young Link can work both ground and the air (due to his speed).
Side note: I'll either do that webcam Q&A either Saturday or Sunday for about half an hour or so. PM me questions tonight and I'll try to answer them as detailed as possible. And the questions can be about anything.

you are right!
the angle of the Dash attack have that potential

The hilt is the handle where Yink holds the sword. The hitbox for the attack is around that general area, but it's fairly small and pretty impractical. If anything it's best to try to avoid hitting that when you're on stage, because the firespike can prevent kills if you're going for a Dair finisher. Though it looks pretty good when you manage to meteor smash someone with it.

YLinks dair is the s*** if you can kill someone with it. Ive rarely managed to do so. Its very hard to pull off.
PeachEater74

Like I said, if you manage to meteor smash someone with it it's super cool, however, more times than not, it's pretty useless. My biggest problem with it is that there have been times when a move should have ko'd but didn't because the Dair sent them back onto the stage as a firespike instead of sending them up and koing them. There have also been a few times where I've managed to pull it off as a means of a meteor smash for a kill, but the person meteor canceled it.

Keep drinking dat milk. 
It kinda is. Cuz whenever I try for it I either just hit them with the dair and whenever I try for just hitting them with the dair to kill them I flame spike.
I never really try to plan out a flame spikes now. They just happen.

HEY RHAN! OCEAN! CHIVAL!
I've been considering playing Ylink a lot more nowadays. Which means I'll be playing IC, GaW/Ylink instead of IC, GaW/Peach.
Possibly because everytime I play smash nowadays, I play with items.
If I get my DVD recorder back from my friend, I'll probably put new vids up.
Oh yeah, looooooove Ylink in teams. <3
I wish he could randomly pull bob-ombs.
Or better yet, Bigoron's Sword! O_O

Fire Spiking is easier to do on bigger characters for me, I hardly ever plan it though. It's pretty useless.
It's more about them being unexpected then useless. Cuz they can have positive and negative effects.
Example (Negative): Auto combo on Marth is Utilt to Dair. The Dair flame spikes instead of K.O.'s. I get punished for something that wasn't in my control.
Example (Positive): Reading Fox/Falco's recovery. You do a rising Dair to hit him. Instead it flame spikes and K.O.'s.
The only time I believe a flame spike is in your control is when they're trying to make the edge from falling from above and you edge hop dair flame or when it's YS and you high hop or short hop flame off the platforms.

except it IS in your control.
firespiking comes down to how you space dair. don't want to fire spike? then don't go in from the bottom, go in softly from the side, or above. instead of uptilting and immediately jumping up and dairing, dashdance really quickly to move that hitbox away. do want to firespike? go in from the bottom, or hard from the side. this is obviously much harder than avoiding firespiking; it comes down to predicting their trajectory and knowing your own.

Guys.
Do not play Young Link while drunk.
It is very difficult.
That is all.

Gargle my nuts, Kyle.
Firespike is def an 'I'm better than you' move.
And Ylink is a blast to play drunk. Especially in teams. So much trolling.

Usually I'd be using dair in that situation to kill because usair couldn't do the job. I mean it wouldn't be too difficult to juggle them, but the situation rhan described is exactly why I don't like firespike too much (combos that lead into dair). And Young Link isn't the character I can be okay with when I've got a lead, so I'm not going to risk a stock in an attempt to meteor smash them.
Personally I feel like it hinders the way he plays more than it helps, but that's just me.

ylink is hella good in teams. I somehow became the stock tank for my teammate...and he was samus! lol funny how that works. I've decided that shffle nair is the best thing against falcon. bombs are too slow. and the rang gets naired thru. fox is a *****. also now that im back at college i will have more smash/boards time so ill be commenting MOAR! I've missed the ylink boards.

A lot of people can do things better than Yink, that doesn't mean he can't be good at them too.
But personally I haven't used him much in doubles, I end up using either of my two secondaries in doubles.

YL in teams: Better make sure you're partner is good at killing cause good luck getting any kills. He can rack up damage really well and support by stock tanking. Think of him as a support character in teams

he has good saves: bombs pull allies towards stage, arrow brings em up. Bair is low knock back. Im not good at teams tho lol.
Thought of something interesting, proper DI to survive Dair in most cases is away. If they DI properly they will most likely not be able to meteor and if they meteor they will DI up which is terrible to do on Dair if the spike doesnt hit.
I cant seem to get the proper timing for fire spikes above stage> FF at their missed tech to get them with the later hit box. Also wondering if u can do this fast enough to punish the missed tech without them getting up
