In the verified VOD, Captain L on Pichu defeated 2ManyCooks on Young Link, indicating that Pichu's speed and spacing can overcome Link's mobility. To win as Link, you must neutralize Pichu's ability to approach and punish your recovery. Focus on maintaining distance and using your sword's range to control the neutral game.

• Use your sword's long range to keep Pichu at bay and prevent their fast approaches.
• Punish Pichu's recovery with your strong up-smash or forward smash if they are vulnerable.
• Be cautious of Pichu's fast dash attack and short-range options when trying to approach.
• Utilize your shield to block Pichu's quick jabs and tilts, then counter with a strong attack.
• Watch for Pichu's ability to tech out of your grabs and punish them with a follow-up attack.
• Maintain a safe distance to avoid Pichu's high-speed movement and focus on landing clean, high-damage hits.
