Lucas vs Link
Matchup Tips and Strategies
When playing Lucas against Link, focus on using your PK Shield to absorb and reflect Link's projectiles, particularly his Boomerang, which can help you control space and pressure him. Be cautious of his arrows, as they come out quickly, making it difficult to reflect them effectively. Link has significant recovery lag on many of his attacks, so capitalize on this by shielding or spotdodging his moves and punishing with your faster options like PK Fire or F-Smash. Maintain a mid-range distance to avoid his grabs and projectiles, allowing you to respond with your own zoning tools when he tries to approach.
Tips for Lucas vs Link
Shield against arrows and bombs, but reflect Boomerangs. Arrows come out too fast to deal with with your reflect, but the Boomerang moves slowly enough to pressure Link back.
Link's options have a lot of lag in general. Shield and spotdodge, since they prefer attacking and using projectiles over grabs.
