I think Link is one of the better ones in the game. Slower doesn't always mean worse; look at Ike and King Dedede, for example. They are at good positions, despite being slow. If anything, Link should be 19, the most balanced position, due to his very, very balanced gameplay. Mario may have been balanced in the other two games, but in Brawl, Link takes the cake for most balanced. That is all I can say as to why I use Link and why he's one of the best.

:Both Ike and King Dedede may be slow, but they have massive range to make up for it, and therefore have superior spacing; they also have a few quick attacks to set up for combos, while Link has no such attacks, and relies on hard reads to KO. Link has nothing to space besides his zair, which does negligible damage, and he isn't just slow in movement, he's slow in attacking too, with even his fastest attacks having notable lag. Link's approach is also terrible, as while his projectiles are good, he lacks a good air speed or air game, especially with the loss of L-canceling that makes his moves punishable even if they manage to land. Link also has one of the worst recoveries in the game because his bomb jumping and wall grappling have been severely nerfed from ''Melee''. Link is not the most balanced character because his high KO power and decent vertical survivability are extremely overshadowed by these negative traits. In fact, Link might be one of the most polarizing characters in the game. --[[User:Timson622222|Timson622222]] ([[User talk:Timson622222|talk]]) 16:45, 10 November 2013 (EST)
