eh. i'll try out every character i think is worth it. palutena will get some attention from me. i doubt she'll be very good at first, but as the metagame comes out and starts to evolve, she will grow.

Depends on the viewpoint of a main I guess..some feel as though you can only have one true main, in which case I'd say no because that role will more than likely go to a FE character or Shulk (assuming he makes the cut). But otherwise, most definitely! I'm so glad she got confirmed ;_;

Even though I put yes, it's more like a secondary. I'll probably use a combination of both Palutena and Pikachu. There is still also potential other characters that I could end up enjoying. <3

No, maining in the sense she will be one of your mains (most played) characters, not the ONLY character you will be playing.

You don't need to be a mind reader to know that I'm definitely maining her, along with Pit that is.

I mained ZSS, Meta Knight, and Pit in Brawl. So Palutena is definitely gonna be grouped in. As well as Greninja.

I was gonna main her anyway because I like her as a character so much, but seeing her in action was just amazing!

Eh, I'll at least try her out. Greninja and Mac are still my probable mains.

Yep. Alright. She was even more awesome than I wanted. Do I really need to answer the question? (Even though I already did.)

Now I just need to see Monado Boy, and I'll be set for mains.

She looks great, but we don't really know much about her YET.
She looks like an versatile fighter with great range and effect area, which is pretty cool.
At least going to try her out, that's for sure.

Uprising was my favorite game, of course I will. Along with Pit, of course.

I'm really into her move-set right now so I'd say yes.

A competent mage-like character seems like a lot of fun, especially if she uses her staff to get a bit more range on her melee attacks. Space-control is always a powerful tool in Smash and it seems like she'll be able to control the air with Heavenly Light (which seems to only cause constant damage, no flinching) and the ground with Autoreticle, Explosive Flame, and Reflect Barrier. She's a little like Zelda in that regard but having a ranged melee weapon and a much more mobile recovery in Jump Glide really changes a lot.

As of now, Palutena and Pit are the characters I'm interested in most for competitive play.

I'll have to watch the video again, but I might main her. My list goes Yoshi, mac, Lucario and then any of the other newcomers

I was waiting to see what her play-style would entail; it appears that she is right up my alley. So I intend to main her as of current. She is one of the better looking newcomers.

I'll have to wait and see. I'm definitely maining Rosalina, but Palutena also looks fun to use. I think she'll be a definite candidate for secondary at worst.

I think he moveset looks incredibly varied and unique, the way things are right now, her and Rosalina are my prime main candidates, I quite look forward to the opportunity to become a strong player of the two Goddesses in this game (yes I am aware Rosalina is technically not a Goddess, but she still watches over the cosmos).

Put all the moves we were show in the direct with information about all of them. She has a lot of moves and most of them look very good. Palutena is pretty awesome! Glad she got confirmed today and I will definitely be maining her. :)

*Palutena is a unique character as her customization options give new moves instead of altering existing ones. It is impossible to say what her starting moveset is until we are told from Sakurai himself.

Smashes:
:GCR::GCA:

Palutena rushes forward and attacks with her shield.
:GCA:

Palutena hits the target with her staff multiple times.
:GCR::GCA:

Palutena calls upon her wings and quickly push them forwards to attack.
:GCR::GCA:

Palutena quickly rotates her staff and hits anyone in range.
:GCU::GCA:

Palutena knocks the target upwards with a huge flash of light.
:GCD::GCA:

Palutena spreads her wings in a downwards movement and hits targets around her.
Aerials:
:GCA:

Palutena swings her staff around her hitting anyone in front or behind her.
Throws:
:GCU::GCA:

Palutena grabs the opponent and throws them upwards.
Specials:
:GCB:

Palutena rains down rays of light on opponents inflicting damage on anyone caught.
:GCB:

Palutena stops opponents in place.
:GCB: .

Palutena quickly rushes forward and attacks.
:GCU::GCB:

Palutena takes flight in the sky.
:GCU::GCB:

In a quick motion Palutena glides upwards and explodes anyone around her.
:GCU::GCB:

Palutena teleports similar to zelda's farore's wind. She can teleport forwards and backwards in the video so this could possibly be a side B move or even an up B. This move looks like the only option for a Neutral B that doesn't fit anywhere else though.
:GCL::GCB:

In a quick motion Palutena launches herself forward. Similar to Pikachu's rocket move.
:GCL::GCB:

Palutena surrounds enemies in a ball of fire.
:GCR::GCB:

Palutena shoots projectiles towards the target.
:GCD::GCB:

Palutena counters when an opponent lands a hit.
:GCD::GCB:?

Reflects projectiles in front of Palutena. Looks like a great edge guard move!
:GCD::GCB:?

Palutena summons fire from the ground and lights the enemy on fire.

She'll definitely be one of my mains without a doubt. Her moveset is AMAZING.

Yes. Kirby and Ness will still be my mains but I might focus on her this time around. I want to be the best Palutena in Florida. And eventually US. That's my new goal.

With just how well they implemented the powers into her moveset it'll be a blasphemy to not to main her.
Definetly maining.

I misread the topic title as "You will be maining Palutena."

To which of course, I have no objections.
