1.) :4dedede: Good recovery and projectile attack.

2.) :4myfriends: Lovable personality, and he fights for his friends.

3.) :4dk: Lovable personality, and pretty fast for a heavy weight .

I'm an Ike main, and like him because he's not too slow or heavy for his weight class. This allows me to have a fairly reliable recovery and have the striking power to make people fear my strikes.

I like Charizard for the style, as he looks cool doing most of his moves.

Ganondorf is on my honorable mentions list, as I've got a lot of respect for that Warlock Punch. (That backhand! :eek:)

King Dedede can be played very creatively.

He has such a variety of moves, he can suck, use projectile, fly, fight in the air and on the ground and grabs well. My vote goes to him!

Who else uses King Dedede?

Are there any good youtube videos of pros using him?

Ganondorf:4ganondorf: and Charizard. :4charizard:
1.)First is simply a lot of fun in friendly matches and online, also his custom moves kick ass
2.)Charizard is my main. He has simply a nice flow with my gameplay style. What else can be said about Charizard? I like that all his moves have USE. That is something I always liked since SSB64(damn son is that long ago). And of course his special moves are great!

Based purely on gameplay, Ganon and DK, because I find them fun and satisfying to play as.

Taking into account personality and nostalgia, well, I love 'em all equally!

Dedede is fun. Down tilt for days.

Ike is also pretty good. His nair approach game is pretty solid.

1. :4myfriends: As a Shulk main using Ike came naturally. He still has the reach of the Monado (albeit Ike's has a slightly shorter range) and gives up versatility in favor for power. The only heavyweight I want to learn beyond a casual level.
2. :4ganondorf: Always go for the hardest of reads.
3. :4dk: Will opened up my eyes to him and now I use him sparingly in sessions if I feel like going bananas.

My favorite heavyweights are:
1. :4myfriends:. Haven't played as him that in Brawl but that all changed in Smash 4. I like his personality and the way he plays even though he's slow. Plus, he fights for his friends so what else is there to say?
2. :4ganondorf:. He's really fun to play as and play against. His aerial Flame Choke (or Ganoncide as mentioned by many) is still the most satisfying move ever.

Doesn't :4falcon: count as a heavyweight?
I thought he was considered in the medium weight class, though one of the heaviest of his class. I could be wrong, but when I F-smash him with Ike he doesn't have the staying power of other Heavies yet doesn't die so easy like the feather weights.

Ike and Charizard because i just love throwing out their Nairs, and also because i LOVE reading opponents with such powerful attacks as Ike's Smash attacks and the ultimate smash move: Flare Blitz. Yes, i get punished a LOT when playing them, but it's fun haha.

D3 is my favorite because of his taunts, but I like to play as Bowser the most.

Good to know.
In that case, :4ganondorf: all the way.

Dedede for his funny animations and rockin' vertical recovery, and for having a projectile.

Besides, he's just a penguin with a big hammer, so even if you knew nothing of the Kirby series, he's an admirable character.

:4dk: & :4myfriends:

Why?

Both are easily the fastest heavy weights, or at least far more agile than the others. And have range going on for them.

Plus, they are my favorite Smash characters outside of :4diddy:

1:4dk::fun to use all around especially in teams,landing a fully charge punch feels so satisfying.

2:4myfriends::tried him out the first time in brawl and was surprise how hard he hits,it got even better in smash 4 when he got faster and got combos to boot.

Ike is my favorite, his aerials are awesome fun. Plus I love Fire Emblem.

Charizard surprised me in how fun he is in this game too.

Heavy weights are literally the only characters that I am any good with, with the exception of little Mac and lucario at times. Otherwise, give me a heavyweight, maybe except for DK, and I will give you a run for your money.
Favorites:
1. King dedede - nobody can completely outmatch dedede. No character completely counters him. He has an amazing air game, survivability, and those disjointed hitboxes can keep you safe! Also, I like to go on 4-player smash a lot and just spit people off the ledge. It works very well with certain characters!
2. Charizard - so much super armor! Anyways, charizard has a tilt for any occasion, and smashes for any occasion as well! It is difficult to know what he will pull out next, so it keeps you on your toes
3. Ganondorf - THE DISRESPECT THAT THIS MAN IS CAPABLE OF! I once ended a match in 16 seconds with ganon in 1v1 for glory. Against a skilled opponent. But seriously, hard reads, shield breaks, and some pure luck is what ganon is all about. I love winning with him. (Unfortunately he is pretty easy combo food at times)

King Triple-De, no doubt.
There's just so many fun options with him. Just crouching alone is incredible, it gives you unlimited taunts in For Glory. And in a land of limited taunts, the De-Meister holds his title as King with reason!
Then there's Gordos. Great for edgeguarding. And if you can trick a Villager to pocket it and then whack it back at him, you get a very satisfying result.
And finally, Inhale. You can eat people off-stage and just fall off. That must be super frustrating.

That aside, he's HANDSOME!!
Not to mention probably one of the most fun character designs in video games, period.

In conclusion:

1. :4bowser: Bowser doesn't just kick your a** all over the stage; he makes a spectacle out of your pain-crippling humiliation. Just like a professional wrestler in the glory days, Bowser spins around airborne before planting his victim between the stage and his well-defined abdomen, sits on his victim to illustrate how helpless they truly are, and awes the audience with a well-timed dropkick and a wink. Well, maybe he doesn't wink.

2. :4wario2: This man is just fun. His animations flow and he seems like he is really having a good time even when he loses.

3. :4ganondorf: So much power.

4. :4myfriends: A beefcake with a sword. He is a good foil to Marth.

5. :4charizard: A little like Bowser with a slightly different flavor.

6. :4dk:, :4dedede: I love their designs and flavor, but they just don't match my playstyle. DK is fun to play against, the penguin is a pain in the a**.

Yeah, someone in 11th place out of 48 is not a heavyweight. I think Captain Falcon is a Heavyweight, and I also think that's where the line should be drawn. We have 13 Heavyweight(Yoshi and Link tie with him), 13 Lightweight, 12 Middleweight. That makes sense?

Bowser Jr. is not on this list and he is tied for fourth heaviest along with Charizard. There is a wight point scale and I would label characters above 110 as Super Heavyweights. This includes Bowser, DK, DeDeDe, Charizard, Bowser Jr., and Ganondorf.

:4charizard: because of the amount of work it takes to regain lost momentum. If I pull it off it's oh so satisfying. I don't win a lot though (._. )

Whenever I'm not using Link I usually float towards Ganondorf. I'm a decent Ganon player but not always patient which tends to get me killed but if there's top 3 reason I play Ganon it's because...

1 - Dair

2 - "Reverse" Warlock Punch

3 - Ganoncide

:4ganondorf: Favorite video game villain tied with Albert Wesker from Resident Evil, even if he's a clone he's sill a badass powerhouse.
:4dk: I like all of his spikes and his derp taunt.
:4charizard: It's Charizard and he has Seismic Toss.

Although he's not on the list, I'd say Bowser Jr. is definitely my favorite. Lots of utilities and recovery options out the ass.
