Played some For Glory last night. My record is still not great, but I am getting better.

I think basing my playstyle on the title of the final Game And Watch game is a good idea.

I can confirm that losses count more towards your For Glory record than wins.

Well that's kind of a given for percentage-based records.

I'm still just content to squeak on by with a 50% win rate. This is genuinely better than I thought I'd be doing.

I sure said that!

I remember when I used to praise this series for being one of the few non-combo based fighting games out there.

But, then I play against people who combo me to death without losing a single stock or even going above 50% damage.

Mac? no problem. Zamus? What a joke.

But How the fuck do I deal with Link?!

Also, grabs.

How come when I do them, my opponent escapes in one second, but when I get grabbed, I can't do anything?

Guys I don't know how to Sonic.

Seriously, my win/lose rate is about 4 to err, 40. Though, I did figure out that Sonic's side-b and down-b sometimes reflects. Sometimes. I have no idea what I'm doing. tongue

Baffle, Just remember, Link does more damage on his SECOND swing on his smash, not his first one. Consider positioning yourself much closer to him than normal.

[up][up]Sonic can rack up the damage just fine.

It's kills he has trouble with, because his best option is his up smash and that's... not the easiest to get.

OR you can try meteor smashes while over the side of the stage; the spring should work fine for that.

[up][up]I try that, then I get nailed by perfectly timed arrows, boomerangs, and bombs at the same time.

As an avid Link player, take advantage of Link's delays in between his stronger attacks. He's pretty slow when it comes to getting back into a fighting position.

Second, watch for the gale boomerang. It is both a blessing and a curse. It is a curse if you don't pay attention and find yourself being carried by the wind towards something you don't want to be in. It's a blessing if you know when to exploit it. That same wind can move you into a safer location.

As an avid Link player as well, if you can play his gale boomerang against him, it can line up some pretty easy attacks. I've killed myself with it more than once by getting a bit trigger happy with it. It also has enormous windup lag, so try to close the distance while he winds it up before it can be thrown to set up an attack.

Pardon me if I don't thank you right away. I'm currently in the "panicking until the advice sinks in" stage of not knowing how to beat something.

Heh, not a problem. I had much the same stage when being faced with villager, Greninja, and Duck Hunt Dog. Still not quite sure how to deal with the first one. Haven't run into villager too much yet.

So I had a quick look at some Xenoblade footage and wow after seeing Shulk here be an adorable socially foolish happy goofball, hearing him shout "I'll Kill You!!" is kinda surprising

That's alright Baffle. Just keep practicing until you understand Link's behaviors.

[up][up][up]Stay away from the tree when Villager's close to it, mostly. And when he's far away from it, stay close to it. And try to destroy it before he's back within axe range.

[up]I'm actually really embarrassed that I have so much trouble against him since he's one of the "newbie four" with Mac, Zamus, and Bowser.

Of the newbie four he's probably the most irritating, in my experience. If it weren't Final Destination all day every day maybe he'd be easier to deal with, hehe. Best I can offer is carefully hop and air-dodge past his stream of arrows, see to it to trip him up and close in as much as you can while he's prepping the next one.

At least, that's my theory. I'm terrible at execution.

@Demonfly: Playing a round with Toon Link right now and I have to say, I don't know why I was repelled by him at first. His speed is incredible.
