There were complaints about Falco being overnerfed (he did deserved to be nerfed, though), but this JP player, named Yuuto (in Katakana) ended up proving otherwise. Falco is still nerfed and is no longer capable of stupidity out the rear even if we were to ignore the chaingrabbing stupidity, but he's still formidable, and Falco Phantasm no longer causes Helpless, whaddyaknow. Also, a nice little surprise at 3:10. That was bolstered by a positional Falco Phantasm too, so I'm not complaining.

This matchup does a lot right, and it shows in this video, which even had the match on a VERY fitting stage. For added fun, this was one of the most stupidly handled matchups in Brawl, but now Link, while still having to think (no problem with me, I can tell you that much), no longer gets stumped in laser lock beeswax, lols at chaingrabs now that they stop existing, and can actually melee Falco without ridiculous effort. It helps that rolling even helps deal with that kick reflector, as you see me use it to punish the thing with a Down Smash TWICE. There's one instance where I roll AWAY against the thing because I would be sure I couldn't get a follow-up out in time. See, folks? Rolling isn't broken. It's not freaking Kid Icarus Uprising's dasharound spam with Evasion+ stupidity. Here, you ALWAYS have at least one vulnerability frame no matter what move you use, which is enough for lasting attacks or well-executed timed attacks to ALWAYS catch you. All it does is allow things like break through Falco's kick reflector, that move was so God awful to deal with, I swear to God.

I'll be making a no commentary version of this match. It deserves it. It's simply that good.
