Super Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS Discussion

Once again: Don't jump to assumptions that it's anything more than a graphical change.

I'm considering the possibility and what it would mean for the character. This isn't anything different from last time. Having link be able to block projectiles in the air is huge for a traditionally low tier character like him, on top of being a heavily projectile based character himself. It certainly would do a lot against megaman since his buster has a ton of applications due to it's minor hitstun and various aerial set ups but link could be a hard counter to that if he had such a shield.

Also "jump to assumptions". Ha.
