Thanks TheBuzzSaw TheBuzzSaw - There's lots of Young Link footage coming in right now. Looks like there's a lot of people excited for his return. I have a lot of school work to attend to but I'll happily start tackling some of those videos when I get some time.

I recorded a few of my elite matches. I don't think they need to be added to the archive, but feedback is welcome.

Reinforcing the main reason I hate Chrom so much. His recovery is so garbage. One tiny nair at the end was all that was needed to end a whole stock. Such a massive weakness. Great looking set nonetheless. He's definitely a powerhouse but overall, I feel Chrom has an uphill battle vs Young Link.

Yesh... but it was a royal pain to position myself to exploit that opportunity. Chrom is not afraid of Young Link at all. He moves fast and hits hard. I feel like people make this mistake every game. "Oh, Cloud's recovery is bad. It goes straight up and does not snap. People will learn how to gimp him." CLOUD BECOMES S TIER ANYWAY (in Smash 4).

Yeah but I feel people were more hesitant to go off stage and edge guard in 4. Air dodging was way more powerful in 4 as well, making it more difficult to gimp characters like Cloud, despite his terrible recovery. I think Chrom is a bit better than Cloud.

As for your footing, its gonna be tough against characters like Chrom who are very speedy and play full aggro. Z-dropping bombs on the ground is a good way to break his flow, as he'll have to respect it by either avoiding it or risk running through it, in which case you can punish both options. I do it a lot vs these types of characters to force reactions. Just remember, you're the one with projectiles while they have none. They have to approach you. If he doesnt come to you, he's gonna get punished.

I think you did great in the set regardless.

My Elite Young Link is about 3.1M GSP. Who would be interested in me streaming matches? On that same note, is anyone else streaming Elite Young Link?

Seeing an old Link main turn Young Link main is always ok to be streamed in my book.
