Link Tips: Can you Spot the Mistakes? (Smash Ultimate)

[@mr_wafflecat5557]

The best thing about this is that it doesn't just help Link mains like myself, it helps all players start to identify what to do and what not to do. Very nice.

[@LxZLink]

I'm glad I can help more than Link mains :) thanks for your comment

[@ohglob0015]

noo why i hate Lucina so much I suffer against her for some reason with link ;w;

[@justabazikdude8592]

A video about tech chasing with Link would be extremely nice. Thanks for the awesome content!

Have you stopped playing Ultimate? I love this channel, it's a one-stop-shop for Link mains but the content has gone dry lately. I miss the tech vids

[@kuuja4345]

Thank you :)

[@ronnie4446]

I use tilt stick with link so it’s hard to tech chase down smash sometimes, a vid on the technique would help a lot!

[@LxZLink]

Most Link mains (including myself) do! It's not that bad :)

[@yowza9638]

I use tilt on stick as well. Doesn't help that I'm also using Joy-Cons... I should really invest in the Gamecube Controller adapter...

[@florianraimond3173]

@@yowza9638 get a gamecube knockoff from a legit seller like power A, got that myself. It is a cheaper and handier options because you get the gamecube feeling with pro controller usage like being able to get to the home screen and make pictures. + you get shoulder buttons on both sides. (And its only like $ or €30,- so pretty cheap) However if you want the original get a gamecube

[@florianraimond3173]

@Ronnie444 maybe use absmash, if you run and abdownsmash it is more conistent, requires practise tho

More videos like this, please. I don't event play Link but they are very entertaining and useful at least for me.

so informative! love looking at mistakes and knowing what would’ve been a better option. Link mains gotta know when to be patient and when to add that pressure great vid!

Hey man I just wanted to say I hope u come back u made some awesome videos that helped a lot of people

[@judeduckworth2363]

I really liked this style of showing you what not to do and how to fix it I’m not a link main but some of these really helped my gameplay as a whole

[@redmask5769]

D smash tech chase video sounds niiiice I liked the replay filter a lot, I'd like to see the memory from botw filter, could be pretty :D

[@LxZLink]

ooooo great Idea!!! :D

[@lizardhero]

This one was really nice. Reminds me a lot of MGK's videos. Do you think at some point you could make a video going over disadvantage state? Things like options, when to pick each one, etc.

[@LxZLink]

Hehe MGK makes some great content. I'll try to do that! Not easy to get good footage out of it. You should check out Glutonny's videos if you haven't already, he does amazing analysis covering disadvantage state.

[@lukaalborne40]

@@LxZLink I was literally just looking for something like this. My girlfriend is trying to be a corrin main but I dont think she understands what disadvantage is very well. It doesnt help that I'm not a great teacher either lololol

As a main Link i should say: HEYYYAA! Nice video bro, i loved it! Please make more that to improve our character o/

[@LxZLink]

I will!

[@pulsarssb1922]

It's really great to do that, giving methodology in this way really helps to correct faults for those who do the same, a big thank you.

[@captainice_ssbu]

Thanks LxZ, this gave me a better understanding on what moves link can, and cant challenge. And yeah, a d smash tech chase guide would br awesome!

[@LxZLink]

Awesome!!!

[@nubunto]

This is amazing. Do you consider doing more content, covering more about neutral options, not related to specific characters? That type of content can be a ton of help to beginners and mid-level players.

[@giuseppescaglione5284]

I'm not even a Link main but watching your videos made me improve a lot! There are not many youtube channels like this so keep it up!

[@heco17]

Your point on smash being a chess game makes a lot of sense, a video on understanding when you have to play defense and offense would be really great! Keep the good work.

[@LxZLink]

Thanks :)

[@pokemonnoob8249]

hey! Found about your content playing you in elite smash (idk if u remember but i was the pit player you fought with ganon and lucina) and I enjoy it a lot. I also play toon link and this vids are really helpful

[@LuisGonzalez0505]

This was a good video of "what not to do as Link in disadvantage against swords" & some good neutral & fundamental stuff. I like the red zone diagrams the best! Would like to see more "Link in advantage" kinda videos too & other match up types like fast brawlers & better campers / zoners. Thanks for the awesome videos!

[@LxZLink]

That's awesome to hear!!

[@arshadalam4457]

8:09 I’d like to add here that rising fair usually isn’t too good of a ledgetrapping tool because it gives up a lot of space, making it really easy for the opponent to roll behind you and reverse the situation. When using fair for a ledgetrap, it’s better to do a full hop fair into fastfall or a short hop drift back fair to cover rolls and burst options. Both of these put you in a better position when they don’t work as well as cover more options.

[@arshadalam4457]

Here’s some more info on ledgetrapping: A lot of times in this video, the Link used a nair on shield when their opponent was cornered, and then immediately followed with a down tilt, f tilt, etc. Though this can work if you are 100% sure the opponent will drop shield, it is not usually a good idea because the opponent can easily jump over you or roll away. In order to keep stage control, consider dashing back, putting you in a better position to cover options, or holding shield so that you can react oos to the opponent’s escape option.

[@LxZLink]

@@arshadalam4457 I agree with everything you said. :) thank you for your comment. T uses Fair quite a bit when ledgetrapping, but he does have heightened senses.

[@Eddyxl220]

Great video, as always! I love these analytic videos you do, I tend to learn from them. Question, do you analyze vods on request?

Your clip #10 is my biggest personal issue playing Link. I understand it's wrong, but in the Link vs Lucina MU, I constantly give up space while the Lucina walks and shields my projectiles.

You know what like 90% of these come down to? Watch your opponent not yourself. You know what you're doing, look at what your opponent is doing.
