Who Will be the first character you play as when the game releases?

[TryHardOliver]

Mine will prob be either Mega Man or Fox!

 

[mario123007]

MARIO OF COURSE!!

 

[TryHardOliver]

MARIO OF COURSE!!

I see your a Mario fan just as I'm a Fox fanboy! lol. I also posted on your profile take a look :D CYA ONLINE

 

[TMNTSSB4]

Mario, I never start without Mario if he's playable at the beginning

 

[OmegaZoroark]

I'd make a mii, or play Megaman.

 

[SmashBro99]

Wii Fit Trainer or Fox, not sure.

 

[strawhatninja]

It depends who is available, but I'm thinking Little Mac.

Yeah I guess your right, don't know who'll be unlockables yet.

You guessed it, but actually I used to be a Fox main in Melee, but ever since Sonic is in Smash Bros I give up on him.

You got to be a main at Mario because he is a GUARANTEE IN character in Smash Bros

Im Indeed a Mario main, used him the most used main in all Smash games

 

[Mewter]

Greninja.
If not, maybe Mega Man.
Or Link.

 

[Morbi]

As per usual, I will maintain my tradition of using Link first. Unless I am overcome with the temptation to bust out my Ashley Williams Mii. Hail to the king, baby!

 

[L9999]

If Ness is available from the start like in Melee, and doesn't suck like in that game, I go Ness. If not Zero Suit Samus or Bowser.

 

[TheMiddleVeen]

I'm going to hopefully start with Ike if he is available or I will go with another Fire Emblem Character as its my favorite series from Nintendo.

 

[Tshockz]

Rosalina for sure if she is a starter that is it seems most likely she will be though otherwise i'm not sure.

 

[PeanutProphet]

Robin, and if he is locked than samus.


.... Also ridley.

 

[radio silent]

It'll probably be Samus, since I'm most familiar with her.

 

[KaZe_DaRKWIND]

I might be a bit biased but Kirby

 

[Hero of the Winds]

If Lucina isn't a starter then...Link maybe? Link, Greninja, or Villager.

 

[Reila]

Pikachu. The first character I used in Smash 64 will be the first character I will use in Smash 3DS.

 

[Jexulus]

Bowser, for sure. I may even tackle 100-Man Rumble first with him to see what I unlock.

 

[Khao]

I was lucky enough to play the demo last week, so I got my thirst for Little Mac out of the way.

So I think I'm just gonna default to my long-time main, and just start out as Link, then I'll try each newcomer a bit more carefully.

So yeah, probably Link.

I might also spam Random early on quite a bit.

 

[Aureola]

Probably Link or Ike. Since I mained them in Brawl and know their movesets, I'll use them to get used to the controls before tackling any newcomers.

 

[Born in 1839...]

YOSHI, because he is always a unlocked by default.

 

[ShizChiz]

Assuming hes on the starting roster, I'm gunna go with Lil Mac.

 

[Playat]

Greninja if it is a starter.

 

[TerumiLOLZ]

Mario to get used to the game after a match. Then Villy and Wii Fit Trainer!

 

[SS-bros14]

Defiantly Megaman.

 

[Philosoglot]

I always start out with Kirby on classic. It's just been the first thing I've done with each game. As a 4 year-old playing on the 64, I always thought it was fun to hit people with their own abilities. Plus, Kirby's jumps help with adjusting to the game, as they give room for error.

 

[BridgesWithTurtles]

If possible, Pac-Man for sure. If not, then Ice Climbers. Oh wait.

Uh...Villager.

 

[TryHardOliver]

If possible, Pac-Man for sure. If not, then Ice Climbers. Oh wait.

Uh...Villager.

Haha yeah I could tell you would play as Pac Man from your Profile picture. And btw I added you on 3DS.

 

[Cloudx128]

Maybe Ike, Link, or Marth.... Doubt that Robin is selectable right at the beggining, and we don't know if Shulk is in yet so here's to hopeing.

 

[laces]

Bowser. I need to experience his new posture.

 

[nuclearneo577]

Unless Andy is in the game and a starter, I'll play as Greninja first.

 

[JUr]

Random!

After that... Lucina (if she's a starter) or Sheik

 

[YamiKitsune]

Depends. If the recent leak is real and he's available. Shulk. If not, Robin. Also anyone who wants to add me can. My FC is on my profile. Just PM me yours and I'll smash with you on release date :3

 

[YamiKitsune]

Unless Andy is in the game and a starter, I'll play as Greninja first.

"Andy"?

 

[Yoshi-Thomas]

Yoshi of course.

 

[YamiKitsune]

Yoshi of course.

*bro-hoof* Just cause :3

 

[Moldy Clay]

Link. It will always be Link. Ever since SSB64, I've played Link first.

Will play through Classic as Link, and from there it will depend on who is available.

Usually, the order of operations is:
- I play Classic as Link
- Then I play 'multiplayer' against CPUs, using default settings. 1 match as each default character and whoever I unlocked as Link or while testing everyone.
- Then I explore other modes/try to unlock everyone and go from there, playing my favorites first and working outward towards the ones I care least about.

But yeah, I'm always going to play Link first, even though I play him less now than I did in 64 & Melee.
