Yea. Every ylink knows how to spam. The knowledge of what to do in the close range will give the better ylink the edge

Haha the thing is, ylink cannot really attack shields the way other characters can. His attacks cannot shield poke and his slow grab requires hard guessing and doesn't lead to much. Sometimes the best response to shielding is jumping back and pulling a bomb. Hate to break it to you but in some matchups (peach, samus, jigglypuff) ylink has no choice but to spam a ton of bombs.

Against Marth in particular you MUST spam to have any sort of chance.
Only way to get in is to first make contact with a projectile.

Hm yes Marth too. Bombing his shield is a decent way to pressure him too. Cuz his main escape is wd back or wd forward, in which case I think wd forward is even better for marth

Nair. Constantly. ANd don't stop. But don't Nair his shield.

If you want a little more of an advantage. Talk **** on him as he runs into your nairs.

LOL at least I'm not the only one that talks **** while playing against people. It's most fun in hype crew battles though.

My strategy against Marth:

Throw a projectile, if it hits, go in with a nair, then go nuts.
Throw a projectile, if it misses, throw another one.
Throw a projectile, if it hits, go in with a nair, if the nair misses, fall back and throw another projectile.

Don't get grabbed, don't get hit by his long sharp metal pole thing.

Wait.. is the fast guy in the tights we're talking Falcon? Or Marth?

Cuz I was thinking of Falcon.

If it's Marth.

Don't do what I said before.

I thought it could be either of those three so that's why I said try not to get grabbed lol.

this is why people need to specify things when asking questions

Okay so its a tall Hermaphradite with mid length hair and a helmet. Has a Sword, can do long range kicks, has a devasting fair. Chaingrabs everything but d-throw and has like no horizontal recovery.

Something like that.
