Link no longer has a tether grab meaning he can no use zair to pressure anyone, grab from long distance or recovery with it now. Lucina has better frame data and mobility than Link and even Link's bair which is fast can be outranged by fair bair nair etc, if Lucina gets Link off stage she can destroy his recovery with counter, Link can gimp Lucina's dolphin slash with nair trade or dair. With Lucina's fast mobility and frame data its not easy for Link to camp her. Link's Spin attack can be used to punish but if Lucina's spaces out of range on shield its safe, with many of Link's moves coming out slow Lucina can counter them. Link's power is greater overall and has long range but Lucina's counter frame data and also range puts this in her favor, its even at best for Link.
Lucina wins this MU
