One week from today, on March 23, two tournaments will be held. The Link tournament is open only to players of Link/Toon Link, while the Luigi tournament is open only to Luigi.

The winner of each tournament will receive as a prize, the title of Green Beret Link and Green Beret Luigi, respectively. These two players are recognized as the best GSF Link and Luigi users, and represent the GSF on any other forums.

The tournaments are Elimination format. The entry method is Open. If you want to sign up, sign up now.

The entire point of the character-specific tournament is to be character-specific. If you were to use a different character, why would we have a character specific tournament?

Toon Link is acceptable because he's better than Link in pretty much every way. >_>

But what is the point, then? That'd be like letting me use Mario in the Luigi tournament. Sure, they're similar, with the sole exception of Mario being a better character, but it still doesn't make sense, as the title pronounces the best Luigi player, not the best Mario player.

While I don't plan on being in either tourney, seems to me Sarkin has a point... If Toon Link and Link are different enough to be considered different characters, which I assume is the general consensus, it's strange that we are then including two characters into a character specific tourney...

If what you guys say about Toon Link being 1000x better than Link is true, then anyone who plays normal Link is a bit handicapped (we're getting into tiers on that, which I don't believe in, so we'll keep that argument short). But then to counter that, no one will use Link and it'll turn into a Toon Link tournament.

This is all just my two sense...feel free to disregard it... :)

When these tournaments were first conceived, I had no intention of ever using Toon Link. But now that I've discovered that T. Link is actually better, I use him instead. Basically, what I'm getting at is the same thing that Doob has already suggested: It's a Toon Link tournament now, not Link.

Zeke made the topic, not me. I was just trying to go along with what he said. I'm kinda tired of us contradicting each other all the time.

They do have a point. If Toon Link is really that much better, then no one will even bother using Link. Perhaps there should be separate tournaments for Link and Toon Link, so we can determine the best with both?

That being said, I'll sign up for both the Link and Luigi tourneys, though there's a small chance I might not be able to compete.

I actually already anticipated that everyone would use Toon Link and not Link. I encourage this. My reasoning for making them both eligible is this.

First, they're both "Link". They may not be the same Link, but they're both Link. Toon Link isn't called Toon Link in his games, he's called Link. They only call him Toon Link here because the only other thing they can call him is Link, and there's already a Link. As such, I feel he should be counted under the name "Link".

Second, "Green Beret Link" sounds better than "Green Beret Toon Link".

It kind of, you know, said in the first post we could pick between Link or Toon.

XD I've never seen "Link" used so many times in one post. :D that made my day I hope you know.
