I feel bad for Link. It's really his grab that's holding him back. Everything else about him is solid. He's just not used that much because he's pretty lame compared to the rest of the roster IMO

That and he's sort of out-Link'd by Robin

His mid range game is non existent, played a good Link in FG then i added him and played on other stages,all i did was stand or shield at mid range and punished anything he did.

Other characters have poor mid range game but when you put Link against a character with good mid range tools he's helpless. After 5 games he stood there and watched me because everytime the announcer shouts 'GO' im standing just out of hookshot range.

He needs his Melee DA back because now he can't do much that isn't punishable at mid range.

Ah, I see your point. I can see it especially since my brother mains Link and I usually beat him. Seems to add up very nicely.

What exactly is midrange? And bombs are the key to his kit IMO.

SO GAME & WATCH ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU HUH MACCHIATO? I SEE HOW IT IS </3

I tried picking up Rosalina a while back but honestly, it feels like Luma dies wayyy too much even if you have a cautious nature (Lol Pokemon reference :troll:).
And I also noticed that when you're fighting against her, Luma is expendable as hell BUT that's really handy to know about its moves becoming stale independently.

Hey @ Macchiato Macchiato have you tried Rob before :4rob: ???

Just outside of Links grab, basically the spot where Ganondorf loves to be since he lunges forward in his DA. I can take a pic of a replay and show you the exact distance i try to maintain if it helps.

And bombs are the key to his kit IMO

Problem is that he can't hold it forever, it can be caught mid dash attack. If Link pulls a bomb that's a huge window of punishment for these characters(from the top of my head).

:4darkpit::4diddy::4falco::4fox::4ganondorf::4lucario::4metaknight::4sonic::4sheik::4falcon::4peach::4gaw::4pit::4zss::4yoshi::4samus:

Characters that have DA that lunges them forward from a stand still position imo beat Link reliably, bombs are the key but they don't negate such a huge weakness. This is the main reason why Ganon mains don't fear Link, powershield until you're at mid range.

A2ZOMG explains it well

Yo like...I'm totally aware Link probably has by far one of the lowest winrates in For Glory.

But to be really serious, Link literally just loses a risk/reward battle in midrange against Ganon. Like seriously. What the hell does he even do once Ganon is in range to DA? He literally cannot do a single thing that Ganon can't react to. Meanwhile, it's very difficult to react to Ganon's D-tilt and DA in midrange, which FORCES many characters, especially someone like Link to block. While he can shieldgrab Ganon easily, his grab reward as I stated is extremely bad. Meanwhile, Ganondorf actually has one of the better grab games in this game (and he will get grabs if you're playing defensively, whether it's an empty jump bait or Flame Choke). And Ganon's significantly better positive state outweights Link's minor advantages in close and long range.

@ Macchiato Macchiato Macchi, we play all the time and I know you're a very solid player. Though honestly, I think you playing so many different characters is holding back your potential. I have to agree with Berserker that playing too many characters hurts you. It would really benefit you to just learn one or two characters inside and out; you'd improve so much.

Before doing anything and finally committing (crosses fingers) to Irrelecina, too much optimism is unhealthy

From this day onward, @ Macchiato Macchiato is now and will forever be a Lucina main. If he switches mains, we all throw eggs at him.

Okay, let's all go bowling

Edit: Idk who but someone attracted one of them name search legends

Hey now, we all aren't like that. >.>

Seriously though, I love timber way more then timber counter. Timber just provides a lot more mind games and getting axe and tree kills are so satisfying.

The only custom i like is extreme ballon trip, and even then it sacrifices your ability to go to the other side of the stage. But it does provide excellent protection against gimps and is amazing for defense on ledge.

As for custom are broken talk, I don't care how bad they look or sound, they need to be tested more and more.

I will not stand for them to be treated the same way as stages. (RIP Wuhu. ;_; ).

I truly don't think they're broken tbh. It makes characters like Lucina, Wii Fit, and Palutena become much more viable.

I'm all for customs
They are like buffs for some characters
I'm perfectly fine with vanilla tink and sheik
But if I'm forced to use vanilla kirby there will be flames
