Link vs Mario
Matchup Tips and Strategies
When playing Link against Mario, focus on recovering low to avoid being hit by Mario's F.L.U.D.D., which can easily disrupt your recovery and lead to a spike. Utilize your projectiles to control space, but be cautious not to over-rely on them, as Mario can cape your attacks and turn them against you. Instead, mix in grabs to catch him off guard, especially after he attempts to shield or counter your zoning. Position yourself near platforms to take advantage of your up tilt and aerials, which can help you juggle Mario effectively and keep him on the defensive.
Tips for Link vs Mario
Always recover low against mario. If you go above the ledge at all, you'll get hit with the F.L.U.D.D. and possibly spiked.
Don't zone him out too much or he'll try to cape whatever you throw out. Mix your gameplay up and try to grab when you can.
