King K. Rool vs Link
When playing King K. Rool against Link, focus on utilizing your superior armor and heavy-hitting moves to trade effectively, especially with moves like F-Smash and Down Special. Be wary of Link's projectiles; using your Neutral Special can reflect his arrows and bombs, giving you an advantage in zoning. If you find yourself offstage, Link may try to set up a bomb for a follow-up, so consider using your Up Special wisely to regain stage control while avoiding his projectile setups. Additionally, keep an eye on your positioning to avoid being caught by Link's powerful aerials, and look for opportunities to punish his recovery attempts when he uses his bombs.
