I'm wondering if someone can sum up the main differences between Link and Young Link (YL) for me...and use these differences to explain why Link is behind YL on the tier list. Is YL slightly lighter or something (and therefore better able to escape combos)? Link and YL share some attributes: both have decent nairs, and also some meaty Utilt -> Uair/Dair combos. I know the tip of YL's Dair is a meteor smash, but then Link has a killer semi-spike at the end of his up-B...I don't think it's that particular difference that puts YL ahead of Link on the tier list.
Maybe Link is lower on the tier list than YL because Fox can waveshine Link much easier (again, YL is lighter)?
Any clarification is appreciated. Link mains, please speak up .
