Is there a Ylink match up guide I could find? Just curious because it doesn't seem to be on here, an alternative I guess is to watch a bunch of videos. But just seeing if I might have missed it.
EDIT: NVM didn't see Lajin's guide

How does Young Link do against Ice Climbers?

Traditionally, really badly.
However, we are ushering in a new age of "mid-tier viability", so who knows?

I honestly know little about the MU, never played it nor seen it played.Well Pikachu sure isn't doing the job lol. I just wanna try it out.
I do know that Toon beats the icies in that Brawl game thanks to his spam, I'd imagine YL could do something similar.
Chu mains both of them, he'd prolly be the best to consult. I've personally only ever gone Marth against icies.

Brawl's floatier physics are what lets TL do that to ICs (and even then, its only slightly in TL's favour due to uair pokes, and nair > grab combos).

It'd probably work as a CP for Wobbles - but a slower ICs player like Fly would be a different story altogether.

I feel like I'm either gonna barely beat him, or get 3/4 stocked lol. I might give it a try. I'll think about it. I've been practicing YL a bunchload lately, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna use him at FC 
Depending on who I play.

I think it'd be cool if you got the point where you started balancing b/w Pika and YL.
Maybe against lesser spacies mains started using YL, while reserving Pika for PP, Jman, Mango, etc.
Also if you could show what a YL can do to Marth in the right hands.

YL vs Marth is tough lol. I play YL against Tai's marth sometimes, and he usually has a slight edge over me. I'll keep practicing though!
Really most of my experience comes from fighting against Marth, Spacies, and Falcon though haha. I wish I had more variety

It's definitely tough, his long metal stick pretty much outranges everything you have, once your blow him up though at the right percentage you can pull off sexy combos, and he's not difficult to edgeguard.

Whats a good character to have as backup for the matchups that ylink isn't very good at (and what exactly are those match ups which he isn't good at)? Most things in this forum feel outdated by 3-5+ years.
I've been playing a lot as of late and my main friend is getting pretty good at falco and its getting tough. I also play marth and fox decently.

Well lets's look at it this way... what are Young Link's most troublesome matchups?
