JediLink
Smash Ace
So I'm a (PAL) Sheik main, and I'm looking for a counterpick to Jigglypuff. To be honest, I don't think I even have any Jigglypuff players in my area but I want to be ready for anything. Link is my second best character, and I'm assuming he would fare much better in the matchup compared to Sheik due to his versatile projectiles, disjointed hitboxes and ability to kill her off the top, something that especially PAL Sheik sorely lacks.
What I'm asking is, can I just play Link in this matchup? Or is it worth it to go the extra mile and learn Young Link? Young Link has gotten some notoriety for being the "counter" to Jigglypuff, but I'm not sure if trading range and power for better projectiles and maneuverability makes him better slightly better, or significantly better. Just how big is the difference, and is it worth it?
