Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edginess


 * Close Range- Toon Link. These attacks are pretty similar, but Link's attack is more direct, while Marth's has a lot of the arc going over his head. This simply makes Toon Link's version of the attack more useful in the battle.


 * Mid-Range- Marth. Marth's attack is faster, more combo-based and deals more damage. Toon Link's spin won't be nearly as useful if it's not charged up, and can be dodged much easier than Marth's dancing blade.


 * Long Range- Toon Link. Marth's shiled breaker is incredibly powerful and deeals major damage, but it's not really a long range attack. Link can fire arrows from much further distance, can charge his bow and spam projectiles. It's simply a more versatile ability for long range combat.


 * Special- Marth. The only ability that Toon Link has that will break the counter is the bomb - Marth will be able to deflect all of the arrows from Link's bow and most of Link's attacks in close up combat, turning Toon Link into a self-destructive mess.


 * Final Smash- Even. It's easier to hit people with the Tri-Force Slash, but Critical Hit is a one-hit KO every time. Evens out.


 * X-Factors- Marth. Marth is stronger and smarter, and has more skill in close combat. These three factors will easily lock in Marth for a win.


 * Deadliest FIction- Marth. Marth takes this because he's a better swordsman with more brains and can counter most of Link's attacks. Toon Link just isn't up to snuff.
