true fox, falco, and sheik all have "advantages" over link....but samus's more powerful projectiles cannot compete with the range link's attacks have over samus's.....samus's projectiles can be easily avoided and can cause samus to resort to hand to hand combat where link obviously excels.Originally posted by RyokoTK
Well, you can just use someone with stronger projectiles, I suppose. Samus can knock the crap out of Link. Missiles will disrupt pretty much anything he does, and a bomb to his face will break down a Spin Attack. Or you can use someone with superior speed: Sheik, Fox, Falco, those are all good choices. Keep Link bouncing and he can't abuse moves. And his Sword Plant is pretty predictable. "Oh jeez, Link is 50 feet above me. There's NO WAY he'll use Sword Plant! Oh no." Right. Unless they can L-Cancel like a god, you can hit them after they Sword Plant over and over again.
i don't think i need to say anything about this post except.....Originally posted by RyokoTK
Sorry to burst your bubble, buddy, but Samus outranges Link. I don't understand why people think like this. People consider projectiles to be like, where one person just walks into them. They don't work like that. Samus's most powerful weapon is her Charge Beam, and I'll put that to use at point blank range for an easy KO. Also, Missiles pack enough punch to be a decent use close up, at least to set up for her reasonably-powered smashes.
Oh, and Link's projectiles are also easier to avoid than Samus's. Wooh, bombs. I'll never see them coming.
If they can't cancel like a god, then you really don't need to worry about what character to beat him with. A non-consistent cancelling Link is nothing to worry about.Unless they can L-Cancel like a god, you can hit them after they Sword Plant over and over again.
