Wow, it feels like the tier wars are starting to begin here. I suggest everyone stop arguing. What happens is people more experienced within the fighting community start acting a bit elitist, while the people who play these games for fun start acting stubborn and rash. Both parties are equally wrong, and once started, the wars would never end.
In short, my opinion on Link is that at a lower level of play, Link is very easy to use and exploit using some rather cheap tactics. It's like button-mashing Maxi. But when playing some of the vets of the game, who can easily get around such tactics, Link becomes useless. But these experienced players need to realize that not everyone plays for skill, most play games for fun, and that is why many consider Link to be a good character in Soul Callibur 2.

Meh, so should you not bother to even learn how to do simple things in that game such as throw breaking? Thats about as lazy as not bothering to learn to shoot in basketball. Hmmm... I wonder why standing under the rim would be an incredibly cheap tactic if nobody knew how to shoot. Oh wait, thats not cheap. Its incredibly stupid. Since anyone who would be decently into basketball should be expected to take good outside shots.
Or how about learning to bounce the ball back in ping pong or tennis... Sure play for fun. But if youre gonna get owned all the time its not going to be fun. Thats why you HAVE TO learn how to play the game right or else you're just going to look like two mentally handicapped kids playing basketball.
And trust me.. its not being elitists when scrubs playing DOES look like metally handicapped children....

There's no single creator to a game. One person may come up with the idea, and be acknowledged by the media as the "creator", but a team of people actually created the game. It's unfortunate when single people often get most of the credit for a game, when it's a team effort.

Nope, not true. Not learning how to play the game right makes people look like two crazy kids plying basketball. There's a difference.
Take a typical match between me and my friends in Soul Callibur 2. Mostly button mash, or... button mash to a lower extent. Our strategy is completely devoid of any real skill. Throwing is still effective because we spend a lot of the time just standing there blocking. Blocking is effective because we don't know how to do low shots when we want to. We sidestep at the wrong time, we rarely ever guard impact. Our only combos are ones that come out by accident. However, the main point is that we actually have fun playing this way, and could honestly care less about getting good at the game. Then again, I actually don't like the game all that much in general, so let's move to SSBM.
I have a friend who is about the same skill level as I am (the rest are a bit lower), except usually he beats me in a close match. That doesn't bother me. He believes in the whole "playing for skill" mentality, although all his skills are self-taught, he hasn't been to smashboards or anything. Thing is, I can usually beat him at the mind game. My constant teching gives him frustration, my lack of seriousness escalates that even more. One time I played Mewtwo (one of my worse ones) and he was fox (one of his better ones) and for my first life I did nothing other than walking left and right. The fact that it took him such a long time to actually kill me when I was simply walking back and forth made it all the better. In our more serious matches, I still taunt even he's in the perfect position to send me flying. Unfortunately for him, because of my teching, I don't fly very far. I do all this crazy stuff because I have a ton of fun doing it. Isn't that what games were made for, fun?
When you play for skill, the game does ultimately become less fun. Do not try to deny it. Sure you're playing the game "correctly," but how does that make you feel when you lose? Frustrated. How do I feel when I lose playing the way I play? I want to play another match. Playing with skill makes the game more work than an actual game. I play for fun, and skill takes the backseat.
To go back to your basketball analogy, even though I absolutely hate the sport, I don't play like two mentally handicapped kids. I play like a crazy kid. If I ever was playing basketball for fun (not too likely), you'd see me take crazy shots from the other side of the court, not caring about the boundaries, and throwing shots not expecting them to go in. Do I care that I look stupid? Not really. Do I care that there is no way I could win in basketball against someone only remotely good at the game? Nope, winning isn't everything, at least not to me. What would anyone have to gain from winning one little match with me? If the winner resorts to bragging rights, that must mean that person doesn't have all that much to brag for.
Now let's backtrack a bit here. Why do we play games? Last time I checked, most people played games because they were fun. For some people, it's for skill, and that's great. Others, like me, don't care about getting good in the game. People who play for skill need to realize that and stop being so elitist. Because the end result is I still might respect you because you're really good at the game, but I have to stop respecting you as a person because you insist on being so obnoxious. Thank you, and good night.

i just had to say this silverflame when you said "thank you and goodnight" it says you posted at 12:08 around noon. But also agree with what you're saying. That's kinda why I don't like playing Halo with my brother. He is too good to make it a fun game with warthog rallies and the sort. He always has to grab that additional rocket and cloaking and overshild "just in case" he says. But it takes fun out when he massacres me constantly.
I have to agree with Silverflame here, because I act the same when playing starcraft over the internet. I usually use the worst strategy I can think of when battling a friend, one time I built 260 zerglings and he built 30 dragoons and he slaughtered me with his proton cannon backup. Although when I play against some random person on battle.net, the only strategy I use is to build up as much defenses as possible before I get back-stabbed by my so called "allies".

I agree. Netgear, you also might know that LINK is only for ONE soul caliber II version, hence he would get 1/3 the glory. And if he's not liked by some GameCube owners, he gets even Less glory. Kind of like how Spawn and whatever PS2 has don't have as much glory.
