Link is a very good all-around character he is quick and strong and can attack from long range.

Use nightmare mostly but if battling big slow character(astrof/berserker) use tima.

Nightmare has powerful weopons and tima can do a really high jump.

Using soul edge growth with nightmare and soul edge complete with tima.

Press A+Y with tima will make do a high spinning jump and in charge mode jst press Z.

Lizardman: To earn Lizardman, you either have to complete subchapter 2 and replay a chapter 4 mission, or beat evry normal mission and extra missions in weapon master mode.

Berserker: Complete Sub ch.1 on normal and extra missions in weapon master mode.

Here are some tips to keep you on the edge over the arcade or your friends.

Link: When you are forced to the edge and you have low life, you can press A & B (Soul Calibur controls) to throw your friends off the edge. OR, you can just lure them to the end and just use the move as cheapshot start.

Nightmare: This one is especially for beginners. keep on pressing B for vertical attacks and it'll striker the opponent off and on the groud. It really keeps you on the advantage. but, to surprise them, use horizontal attacks often, too.

Challenging Inferno: When I challenge Inferno, I always keep defending until theres an opening, then i grapple. He can't reflect the move. So, I refer that you wait for him to come to you then grapple him with any character. Ivy or Talim do heavy grapple damage.

Link: Another cheapshot start is when you wield a bomb and just throw it at the ooponent when the fight just starts. Attack him when he least expects it. NEVER EVER run to him during the start, they might to a guard break and it'll leave you vulnerable for a combo.

Fact: Girls may do more grapple damage than the guys. So, if you want to take your enemy into the edge or see cool moves use girls for hard back breaking damage with grapples.

My opinions.
Fast combos or moves: Maxi, Voldo, and Talim
Strong but slow moves: Beserker, Astaroth, and Nighmare
Characters never to use unless known how to: Yoshimitzsu, Astaroth, and Mitsurugi
Characters for beginners: Nightmare, Yung Sung, and Maxi
Strong Grapples: Ivy, Talim, Astaroth, and Beserker
Best All-Around: Maxi, Lizardman, and Yung Sung

Keep playing.

Hey People I have moves for Link,

Hurricane spin = hold Horizonal attack and let go

Hyper Dash back, back Horizonal attack+Kick attack

OK, now you may have noticed that if you practice with these three, there is no commands list, right? Well, after a bit of research, I found out taht they are just copycats. (except for the throws, which are original) If you train with the character who's style they mimick, you can become resomably good with them. Here they are:

Berserker: Astaroth

Assassin: Xianghua

Lizardman: Cassandra

Kilik:
A,A,Y,Y,Y
Nightmare:
A,A,(hold)Y,(hold)A,(hold)Y,Y

With whatever health they have left with Nightmares Combo Press botom left+Y
Or B+Y

Here are some good characters to start with:

Raphael
Kilik
Talim
Charade

If you'd like to know more stuff then here's what I've found out:

Maxi kills astaroth
yoshimitsu is mainly from the tekken series....

Cervantes was already dead in this game
hwangseo palace/phoenix court is a real place(I've seen it,really).

Link is from the legend of zelda series(but you may already know that)that is only on nintendo consoles.

When you're in a pinch, use Raphael. Some of his attacks are really powerful and can deal half damage. For example, the attack [L],[UL],[U],[UR],[R],Y (whatever is in the brackets is the thumbstick direction) deals 50% damage (at least it did when I used it 5 million times). Or, for a last resort, keep button mashing [R],Y and throw in the periodic Y or [L],X.

The unblockable moves (the ones with a lot a fire) can be blocked or guard impacted (the thing that repels the opponents attack that makes everything a shiny blue)just walk away from the move.You have time since they are really slow. You can't block a throw but it can be repelled or you can simply walk away from it since it has very short reach.

Charade is horrible for beginers to use Charade correctly you must be able to use every charcater in the game since he copies every character.

Kilik:
A,A,Y,Y,Y
Nightmare:
A,A,(hold)Y,(hold)A,(hold)Y,Y

With whatever health they have left with Nightmares Combo Press botom left+Y
Or B+Y
