He doesn't bare a chance against Young Link.

 

[choknater]

i believe hbox can do it with puff, he just has to make adjustments

 

[BRLNK88]

What if hbox just naired and faired more?
What if more top pros just started getting good with Young Link? I think if everyone just started going YL against him, he'd be forced to get good at the MU, or we'd make him quit smash!!

 

[rhan]

He'd pick up SHeik eventually. That's the easiest way for anything.

 

[MonkUnit]

Is there ever a time when rapid jab, forward throw, or back throw is a good option?

 

[Hack]

Rapid jab can be alright for funsies when ledgeguarding spacies in some situations.
Otherwise, if it's not teams: no.

 

[Blistering Speed]

Yeah, Hungrybox doesn't have a chance against Young Link. It was hopeless from the start, apart from when he won the first set.

 

[choknater]

you guys are crazy lol

 

[rhan]

DOesn't anybody realise Armada let him win the first set?

 

[choknater]

rhan why do you keep saying crazy stuff lol

 

[BRLNK88]

Armada didn't let him win the first set, he still wanted to win, he just wasn't as concerned because Hbox had to win two sets.

 

[rhan]

I'm not saying crazy stuff.

It be duh truuff.

 

[choknater]

hahahah, okay, i see.

 

[`dazrin]

young link for top tier

 

[MonkUnit]

i went all YL at smash minnesota 2 yesterday and people kept saying "why are you playing YL?" "he's so weird" "stop spamming bombs"

 

[rhan]

Tell them to eat a **** and take it like a man.

 

[MonkUnit]

Tips against sheik? Specifically needles, dash attack, fair, and dthrow. If I DI away, I get regrabbed, but if I DI inwards, I get hit with an u/ftilt.

Also, critique please. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QaBh_7LfoY I felt like I played poorly

 

[choknater]

try not to get grabbed

needle grab only happens if you are at a certain angle

 

[BRLNK88]

Even if Sheik didn't have a grab, I think the MU would still be in her favor.
Sheik is such a ***.
What kind of character has almost perfect frame data and still has strong *** moves that gimp and kill effortlessly? Oh wait...

 

[crush]

what kind of character has crappy air mobility, a crappy dashdance, and no approach?









DK

 

[rhan]

Only tip against SHeik.

Always have a bomb in your hand at all times.



You make up the rest as you go.

 

[MonkUnit]

I figured I had to do that. But I thought boomerangs might've been more useful at times. I'll keep that in mind though.

 

[SnakeMan]

Yea even if u get grabbed, sometimes the bomb will blow up, getting u out of a dangerous situation.

 

[BRLNK88]

DK

lawl, I love YL vs DK, gives me great practice with my spam game. Just shell the ape with projectiles until you get a combo going, DK can't really do much.

 

[choknater]

yeah yl dk is so free

 

[rhan]

Any big *** character is free.

AKA Bowser/Mewtwo/DK.

Ez day.

 

[BRLNK88]

Except for Ganondorf, dat range...

 

[rhan]

Ganondorf is ez too.
Jus not as ez.

 

[Supreme Dirt]

Bowser vs. Young Link is so amusing. For the Young Link.

I can imagine the Bowser player wanting to kill himself.

 

[rhan]

Bowser takes no brain power to play against.. It's sad how ez that match up is.

 

[choknater]

i really like winning matches without thinking, lol

 

[BRLNK88]

Bowser takes no brain power to play against.. It's sad how ez that match up is.

I've only ever done YL vs Boozer once, it was on Dreamland, and christ, he takes FOREVER to kill. After getting sick of spamming I'd try to approach, and my friend is obsessed with poking from playing SF and would poke me out of everything.

Ganondorf is ez too.
Jus not as ez.

lawl, no way its easy, that MU is def in Ganny's favor. His fair eats YL for lunch.

 

[rhan]

Bombs Rangs and Bairs eat him for Breakfast.

Breakfast > Lunch

 

[BRLNK88]

Bombs Rangs and Bairs eat him for Breakfast.

Breakfast > Lunch

I honestly can't imagine any of the best YLs beating Kage, or Linguini, or Tipman...

 

[rhan]

You obviously haven't seen what YL can actually do to Ganon.. lol Ganon does have a slight advantage. But to get that advantage he has to hit us first.

 

[choknater]

i lost 0-3 to bizzarro flame i find it pretty hard to stay consistently in control

 

[rhan]

I must just be playing against bad Ganons then.. :[

 

[choknater]

well maybe
think u guys could help me out?

[BRLNK88]

Ganondorf just controls space too well, he's slower, but he's got that far superior range and high priority.
It's kinda like fighting a worse Marth.
And of course, Ganon has a much easier time killing.
YL pretty much has to avoid getting hit... at all.

 

[MonkUnit]

and ganon's upair has that reach to protect himself from above usually, lol.

i usually try to throw a rang and have it coming back, fire an arrow, and throw a bomb. that way if he catches the bomb, he might get hit with the rang which can lead to a nair or let me get another bomb
