Hello there!

With the Smash scene growing and many more new players still to come, I though I would make a little guide highlighting each characters strengths and specialties, to help anyone take their first step into competitive Smash, or for anyone contemplating picking up another to their personal roster!

The main dilemma I have is I don't main EVERYONE in P:M, nor am I a self-proclaimed Smash genius. So, I thought I'd ask you guys, the experts to your respective mains! If you could help me out by filling out a few lines of info for me, I'll be collecting the data and responses during the week and compiling them. Once it's all collected, I'll release the guide (somewhere on the boards, not sure yet...). So if you could take a few minutes to help, I would really appreciate it!

Pros: Strengths and advantages of this character!

Cons: Weaknesses and disadvantages!

Character Specifics to Learn: Techniques exclusive to only this character (example: Squirtle's shell abilities)

Similar To: Characters that play similar to this one or have a similar strategy.

Secondaries that Compliment: A secondary character that covers certain weaknesses the main has.

(Optional) Best video example of this character in action.

Cheers!

(Sorry if you see this thread posted in multiple character forums, I find the best way to gather info is to ask directly!)

Pros: good dash dance, good range, extremely good juggle game, pretty good edgeguarder, amazing kill power with reliable setups, good perfect shield, good tech chase.

Cons: big body, jugglable weight and falling speed, no projectile, one of the easiest recoveries to edgeguard in the game. He relies on combos so floaty matchups are a pain (even though he doesn't necessarily loses them, it's just boring)

Character Specifics to Learn: Cargo throws, weird properties on his dash attack (knockback armor and DK country-like rolling offstage)

Similar To: Marth has a similar focus on range, grab combos, tech chases and dash dancing I guess.

Secondaries that Compliment: Someone who eats floaties for breakfast, Captain Falcon or Link in example.
