Mine is:
Little Mac

I always start off playing as Mario then I go through the roster alternating between newcomer and veteran.

Donkey Kong. He's the one I played the most in Melee. If some of the characters are somewhat difficult to unlock, I'd like to fall back on DK for those, definitely.

But if Mewtwo comes back... gotta main dat.

Probably the same as Brawl: Random button!

It gave me Olimar (one of my highest anticipated at the time) and I totally won :smirk:

I'll probably start off as Sheik, my melee main, I'm pretty interested in what those new moves are gonna do for her. As far as newcomers go, probably Greninja or Villager.

Haha love your avatar CandyWizard.

I will probably play as Pit first, or Link. I don't know yet, but it will be a veteran so I can win my first game haha.

Link; in every single Smash, he is my first. That being said; I hated him in Brawl, the only game where I can't play as him. I am worried something similar will happen in Smash 4 because he has minimal changes. Little Mac is the one I want to try first, and I just might.

For now I keep promising myself I would try the Wii Fit Trainer first.

I still remember the fist day I got brawl I played as Olimar.

For me, it's probably Mario. Him, or Ice Climbers. Maybe even Olimar...

Probably Sonic, since I can already play him well in Brawl and PM and he looks to have been upgraded compared to Brawl. I'll use him as my main in single player, to unlock stuff.

Rosalina and Mega Man are the newcomers I will try first though.

My brother will probably want some multiplayer matches though, and that will be my opportunity to quickly try out the rest of the roster.

Either Olimar or Villager. My original main and my newcomer main. Will probably do Bowser too.

Mario, unless megaman is availble at start. Then I will try to unlock Captain Falcon and Snake and play as them.

Kirby, Luigi, or Wario. To get that initial taste that isn't overwhelming, then.. new characters!

I'm probably going to go with Samus first to get a feel for the game, and then I'll give Link a try and hope that he plays more like Melee than Brawl (or ideally is not bottom tier). From there, I'll have a good enough feeling for the game to give Megaman or Villager a try.

Well, the OP specifically mentioned that, for the sake of discussion, all characters are available at start,

Mega Man. I'm still not as hype for anyone as I am for him. Then to play everyone in order until I cover the whole roster and decide on a few mains.

Link since to me he's the perfect character to kind of get a feel for the game with. Then after that it's Megaman and then the world! muhahahaha

Oh wait, if K. Rool manages to get in then that's who I will immediately gravitate towards.

Little Mac, all the way. I'll probably wind up playing all the newcomers first, but I want to try and main Little Mac (if he's good).

Any MOTHER reps first to go through the possible significant changes. Then Mega Man/Villager.

My forever main Kirby :4kirby:
Hoping that he's been significantly buffed to, say, his 64 glory days. Then the newcomers just to try them out.

Bowser or DK to see their (supposedly) magnificent buffs.

Link, since he's my main in P:M. And then Marth, since he's my main in Melee and P:M.

Or Shulk if he gets in which he better.

I'm probably going to play as Pit first. In Brawl I really didn't like Pit. I didn't like his moves,his play style and I even thought his voice was weird. But since there's going to be some changes to his moveset I'm going to try him out. And also after Uprising Pit became on of my Nintendo characters ever!

That's actually a tough one. Since you're not asking about main, which is decided by trying all the characters and deciding the one that has the best feel/clicks for me, but rather the one you try first.

And I really don't know.

I do know I will be staying away from Olimar with a 10-foot pole despite him being my Brawl main, actually it's because he is my Brawl main that I will stay away from him because I hate the changes.

Greninja, Wii Fit Trainer, Rosalina, and Mega Man all look fun to play. There's also Charizard now that he is solo. That's gonna be tough. I'm leaning towards WFT though.

Marth, just to see if he went through any changes. Then Jigglypuff for the same reason.

In terms of newcomers, I'd go for Greninja and WFT first.

So far, with the characters that are confirmed,I think the first character I will play is will be megaman, though this may change depending on what other newcommers are revealed.

Probably Marth or Megaman. I main Marth and Megaman is the one I'm most excited for (Megaman vs. Mario vs. Sonic)

Little Mac for sure.
So many great memories with Punch Out, and he was easily one of my most wanted characters.

If available from the start, Greninja newcomer-wise. Otherwise I'd try out Marth or the Fire Emblem newcomer we're bound to get first depending on who's already unlocked.

Depends on who's in the game really. If Palutena's confirmed as not unlock able, totally her.
