IMHO, it's sort of inbetween. I mean, in the end, an amazing player playing any character will be a tough match. But 1 match vid is such a small sample size. Aniki is known as a very strong player, though, and there's an American link player who can hold his own against many good players. Over the longrun, though, you just won't see link players taking many 1st's in big tournies. It'll always be the same few characters.
