Plinking only works in SSFIV, and one frame links have been (and people have been successfully performing them) well before the game came out. The difficulty is certainly high, as you can't even double tap, as I'm pretty sure Hsien-Ko has a gap between when she can throw another item the earliest, and when you're supposed to throw again, but it's not undoable. I'd even wager that doing stuff like Faultless Defence canceling in Guilty Gear X was harder, which is done a little like this:
The way it worked was like this: in GGX there were four buttons, p,k,s,hs. In order to do a dust attack, you hit s+hs at the same time. So for jam (for example), to do her c.s, c.hs loop you had to do 2s, 2hs 2s+hs and then cancel that dust on the first frame with a FD (which only happened if you did 2 or 1+p+k), in order to get a dash out of that and combo you have to do 646...
2s, 2hs 1s+hs 6, 4p+k, 6
