In the verified VOD, Coolkingz (Link) defeated eMass (Dark Pit) in the Winners Semis of DAT Monday Meltdown 225. The match highlights Link's ability to pressure Dark Pit's recovery and punish his predictable air game. Focus on maintaining neutral game dominance to force Dark Pit into risky options.

• Use Link's forward air to interrupt Dark Pit's up B, as it is a common recovery option that leaves him vulnerable.
• Punish Dark Pit's side B with a well-timed forward smash or up smash, as it has significant lag and limited range.
• Maintain pressure with Link's sword to keep Dark Pit at bay, preventing him from setting up his own neutral game.
• Watch for Dark Pit's fast movement and use Link's shield to bait out his attacks, then punish with a strong counter-attack.
• Utilize Link's strong down throw to secure stock leads, as Dark Pit's low weight makes him susceptible to being thrown off stage.
• Stay grounded and use Link's superior ground game to control the stage, limiting Dark Pit's ability to perform his aerial combos.
