" Dodging someting isn't the same as moving at the same speed of an object."

Maybe not, but he registers it happening and react in time to move out of the way. Also, a normal human can dodge a bullet... at long range... IF they knew it were coming. So no.

Anyway, Though Link cannot travel at sub-sonic speeds, he can react to those who do.

And, no, NOT OoT. SS.

The official Zelda Wiki:

" Both  Demise  and  Ghirahim  use variations of the Skyward Strike in battle...However, both Link and Demise can store the energy of thunderbolts in much the same way Link performs a Skyward Strike, allowing them to launch lightning at each other."

Launch LIGHTNING. LITERAL. LIGHTNING. And Link dodged it.

Yeah, he can dual weild, which takes finesse and all- but STRATEGY is completely different. Before you say cloud led an army, that is COMPLETELY different that a 1v1 battle.

Concerning only using AC, (Im not saying this is what happened cause i know very little about cloud, but it makes sense to me) DB took Cloud and Link's weapons that they took into their fighting games, but took the specs from their games, and im guessing all the specs were found in AC. This may not be the case, however.

Oh, and i'll put this out there before its brought up. Z-Targeting is a skill, not a fairy thing or a game mechanic. Link can Z-Target in WW, SS and TP all without help.
