played some great doubles for glory with one of my friends on the same console yesterday. it's really fun to pick a heavy and a light and slap the shit out of people who play the same characters over and over again. also Megaman is the best, really great to play him in 1 on 1 for glory against people who don't know how to fight him

is anyone else having a hard time when faced against a link player? his attacks are too fast, both in the air and on the ground. the whirlwind move frustrates me, along with his arrows, where i have to stay in the air when we're both a fair distance from each other.
i find his character to be an inconvenience when i'm online, just because i never know who i'm going to face, and most of the time it seems to be link. i was surprised to see that he was only 9th on the tier list, as i feel he's way too overpowered, and, well, i just can't seem to defeat him. any tips?

My tip would be to use a quick character, that can deflect projectiles:

EXAMPLES: Fox (Reflector), Falco (Reflector), Palutena (Reflect)...

Or you could just use Little Mac and beat the shit outta him.... ;)

Reflector blocks projectiles, not ground attacks.


Little Mac gets priority on the ground and has super shield, he should be able to go toe to toe with Link provided you're of the same skill level.

Link is pretty well-rounded. There are no hard counters, it comes down mostly to skill and game sense. Speed is Link's worst stat, as most of his moves have some windup or horrendous recovery time, so fast characters function as soft counters.

I think Luigi would be best, especially when you're in the perfect spot for a misfire.

alright, so a few minutes ago I tried out little mac online, and the 3rd guy who i fought was using link. as expected, he was abusing the bombs and arrows, but i kept pressuring him anyway. i could see that he was trying to push me off the edge, which is pretty much the way to defeat little mac, but i stayed central, so he eventually gave up on that tactic. anyway, i had gotten the K.O. punch a couple of times, but wasted it, which was arguably the difference between me winning and losing. and yeah, i lost, but it was close. closer than it usually is when i'm facing link. still having a hard time though.

any other fast characters i could try out? i've already tried marth/lucina, but i never feel comfortable when using them. in case you're wondering, i'm far from a high skill level, but i'm not bad either, sorta average.

Fox/Falco used to be really good but I'm pretty sure they've been heavily nerfed.


Falco is still my main and I've never really had a problem with Link so you could try that

Captain Falcon is kinda fast and strong, well balanced, and his down+b can help you close in on your opponent if on ground.

Still pissed off Ice Climbers aren't in the new Super smash they were my first choice for compet.
They should of made it that they are only available for 4 man smash or some shit if tech limitations I mean ffs
