Honestly, if you want the least amount of gimmicks and the most reward for your precision, Sheik is the best character in the game for this. However, she is susceptible to things that one might consider jank because of her light weight and her fast falling. -TOP- S: Bayonetta, Diddy Kong...

Well, fast paced and in your face as well as punish game driven sounds a lot like captain falcon or pikachu. They're both characters with that kind of style or can be played that way. If you're looking for high risk high reward, a lot of your focus is going to be more toward mid tier since...

Sorry for the double post, I just didn't read our friends comment above and was wanting to give some input that wasn't already given. Corrin struggles in a couple matchups far more than others, like fox and sheik for their respective reasons. I've been having issues playing against Mario as...

Honestly man, if you want strong aerials, a good kill throw and a good projectile sounds like the earthbound boys to me. Both Ness and Lucas provide these things as well as a great grab game from both of them and a good way to find your playstyle. Ness weighs in heavier towards strong aerials...

So I'm a Corrin main looking to cover matchups with either a fox or lucina secondary. Really just looking for simple answer. I know a decent bit about the game, and I used to post a lot in this thread. Just kind of to the point of needing a secondary.

Well my friend, it sounds like you need to work on some fundamentals, like shielding, knowing when to roll, when not to roll, how to convert of grabs, how to bait and punish. The only real characters I can tell you to look into would be like Pikachu and Fox maybe. However, I suggest that you...

@Nice_FZPSC.42 You gotta choose for yourself my man. We can only give you so much advice. I think Cloud does very well against all of those characters, as he kills lucario, can win neutral against fox (who doesnt have a sound way of gimping him), wins neutral against mario by throwing out safe...

@Nu~ You want a mobile trickster? Fox and Mewtwo come to mind. Also, characters like toon link, villager, sheik, rob and ness. Fox - Has lots of crazy combos you can be creative with with stuff like pivot f tilt, up air to footstool, all his tilt combos leading into aerial strings. Character...

Have you considered Fox or any other characters like Pikachu if you're looking for rushdown? You don't have to limit yourself to playing defensive or offensive (for example, M2 can be played a large number of ways, campy dtilt and shadow ball or tricky pressure with phasing and fair on shield)...

As far as most adaptable goes, Mario is by far most adaptable, shown by Ally, one of the only solo mains at the top level. He never counterpicks and can switch between relentless offense and intricately planned defenses. Following close behind, I'd say Marcina. Because of the tools the character...

@Nice_FZPSC.42 Yoshi is a strong mid tier whos meta is largely undeveloped/lacks people committed to the character. Pikachu can be as technical as you make him out to be. Technical Pikachu players seem to thrive more than very basic Pika players but overall, he is a very strong character.

So within the constraints you've given, you're looking for an above average character with specific rewards for certain core mechanics. You're looking for rewards off of play that is essentially what you believe the heart of the game to be. I've played a fair amount of competitive SFIV and V and...

@Agitato Ike is a super underrated character and is someone who cannot be ignored if played well. I had the opportunity to play with Ryo at a regional which was held in Mississippi (Afterglow) and he showed me a lot of the footstool tricks Ike can perform. The first game that I decided to put...

Beginning to believe.

I'd like to hear more about why you disagree, as if you do have more knowledge than your opponent in a matchup, you can win any matchup. But yeah, I've related it to the fact that I had trouble figuring out who I was for a very long time. But for now, I've been sticking with Corrin and she/he...
