Yeah, but he's a shoe-in.
I'm enjoying this thread primarily for this here. Seeing who people are so confident will get in that they list them as the first character they will play. No sarcasm, if that didn't come across. I do have to disagree that Pac is a shoe-in, but in the interest of not derailing the thread, I'll leave it at that.

Assuming he's not unlockable, Megaman, if he is (Which I think he will be.) then I'll settle for Little Mac.

I will probably be using Mega Man or Pit first depending if the former is an unlockable character or not

Like I did with PM, I'll start Mario just to get a feel of the games mechanics. Once I'm used to that, MegaMan in all his Nintendo/Namco restored glory.

I think I'm gonna be too excited to choose. I'll probably just pick a newcomer I like on the starting roster at random and go from there. Maybe Greninja, if he's available.

Pit. Classic mode. Just to unlock (if she's in) Palutena. Then I'll be Diddy or something and do 100 man (whatever they'll call it this time) and get Falco. Forget about all the other characters.

I'll definitely play with my mains first, Mario and Peach, even if they have seemingly nothing different moveset wise, before trying out Mega Man and Villager.

I never even thought of that. Because Rosalina & Luma will most likely be locked, I'll probably play Zelda first, then a game with Peach. That's what I did the first time I ever played Brawl.

My boys Mario, Olimar, Toon Link, and Lucario. Then I would try out every single newcomer and based on how they feel I would choose one to main as well. Then I would proceed to try out every single other character since so many of them got random tweaks here and there which may make them play completely different from past installments of smash.

I'm probably going to start with my main man Kirby, like always. But if Megaman is there from the start, I'll definitely give him a try because he's also my main (mega)man.

Depends on who I don't need to unlock. I'll probably start with a Pokemon character that doesn't need to be unlocked on the 3DS. If you mean first character I will use on the Wii U version and we can have all the characters unlocked right away if we connect to the 3DS, then I'd probably go with my main first whoever it is.

first i will master villager.
then i will check out rosalina a little
then maybe i might projectile spam with mega man
then i will wreck the field with kirby
and then i will wreak havoc with zss.
and then i will train super hard for no apparent reason with all characters learning thier nooks and crannies, and combos and skills and waste a lot of time and sleep playing the heck out of this game until i become the ultimate master of all things smash 4.

im still a bit new to all the smash games, So id want to try out some newcomers

Start with Greninja, then try Megaman, followed by the Villager.

Then time for the vets.

In Brawl I used Dedede first. This time I think I'll go WFT, a nice balanced character. Ever since her introduction I've wanted to use her. Then I'll use my ICs, see how they've changed.

Well, it was going to be Pokémon Trainer, but...

It'll be Pac-Man for sure if he's playable. If not, likely Sonic, simply because my friends and I want to have a "Mario vs third-parties" free-for-all as our first match, and I like Sonic the most of the bunch.

If I end up playing the game by myself first, then I'll probably gravitate toward my tried-and-true safe character, Pikachu. That rat and I have a long history.

Got to clear all the 1p content with Link ASAP.

He's the best prepared for any situation.

Then about 1 million 1 minute timed battles on random character and random stage.

Real talk, I'm going to random and on the 4th random that will be my main for the next 6 years. Been doing this since Melee.
