Samus vs. Toon Link Super Smash Bros. 4 tiers, match-up votes and discussion

Even though Toon Link's projectiles are a lot better, they cancel out each other, and Samus has much better melee attacks, so Samus has a big advantage.

Along with Lucas, Mega Man and Villager, ESAM considers this matchup 45/55 because Toon Link can counter-zone her. His shield blocks missiles and even Charge Shot (so make sure you're in the air when you pull Bombs, otherwise she can punish the lag with CS), and like the 3 other counter-zoners, he has reliable kill confirms on Samus (one example in his case is Bomb to forward air). Toon Link can also use his other projectiles to edge guard and control space, which can make edge guarding or returning to the stage difficult for Samus. Samus can kill better than Toon Link and does combo him pretty well for his weight, but she doesn't have good kill confirms on him, thus handing Toon Link the slight advantage.
