An Emotional Attachment to Your Main.

[Get Low]

Have you ever, like, met one of the Peach mains? Just curious.

I've met several. They're pretty much all we have in Ohio. None of them are cocky.

 

[Bing]

Meet the peach mains out in like Cali...

 

[~Twitch~]

yo mike g is like one of the nicest dudes ever

just sayin

 

[choknater]

Meet the peach mains out in like Cali...

never met baka but

mccain and alan are just fabulous dudes. neither are cocky really, though they'll spout that trash talk, which you don't have to be cocky to do.

azusa is mad quiet

 

[ShroudedOne]

All the Peaches I've met are cool. Except for ShroudedOne. What a douche.

 

[S1 The God]

Shrouded, Joe Paturnips, Get Low, Slarti, Ambix... all peach mains I've seen around Ohio tournaments and they're all class dudes.

I play several characters and have no qualms with switching to Yoshi, G&W or even MH but I am a dedicated Kirby. Playing as him just feels right.
With any other character, I have to think about my moves. With Kirby, they just happen. It's as if he and me are one.

This probably seems completely laughable to anyone who hasn't played Melee to my extent but that's just how it is.

 

[big sleep]

how dis become a discussion about personalities


real reeaaal pointless



[Edit= actually keep talkin ab peeps i've never met, it's kinda interesting]

 

[Ambix]

peach - insecurity

fixed.

All peach mains are secretly insecure.

except for me :D

 

[Wake]

Insecure about what? We're clearly the most amazing part of this community. Peach TV at Apex. All I need to say.

How did I know Peach players would end up flocking to this thread?

because we're constantly forum searching our names.

Mostly because we're insecure.

Except for me.

I play a very long list of fighters, especially melee. For every fighter, I always stay with one characters and rarely, at times, I have a secondary or two. I just can't play with character I do not like. Take SF for example, I play Vega only because the rest of the cast in every game he is in do not interest me and playing the game with these character will just bore me. Same applies to melee.

My main has been Samus since N64, and continues being my main in Melee because she seemed like such a cool character when I first picked her up. Blast, missles, robotic armor, etc. (thought it was a guy at first. Sorry, I rarely play nintendo games). Will be using her again in Project M. Same applies to my secondary Game and Watch (I like weird characters) and to my melee third Mewtwo (So bad ***, yet such a weak character in several match ups), who I just picked up recently.

 

[ryuu seika]

In every fighting game I play, I learn the cast but I always get attached to one chracter more than the others. 2 in the case of Soul Calibur 2 where Lizardman is 2player only and in Bloody Roar where Uranus is simply unfair.

 

[The Star King]

What's with how people are stereotyping Peach mains? Humble? Cocky? Insecure?

It's obviously effeminate.

 

[ryuu seika]

Peach is a really annoying opponent. I have no idea whether or not that reflects in the players but seriously. That Up B hitbox basically says "attack me from above and infront any you die".

 

[Battlecow]

That's really the move you choose to have a problem with? Her Up-B?

 

[big sleep]

dop breaks like... every peach main stereotype

 

[ryuu seika]

That's really the move you choose to have a problem with? Her Up-B?

OK, sure, being forced to grab turnips when you mean to attack is pretty annoying too but that's more of an issue with the mechanics of item use that an issue with Peach. Other than that, airborne "hammer time" is my biggest issue with the matchup.

 

[ShroudedOne]

Ironically enough, the move of hers that gets me is dash attack. You think I'd know how long it is.

 

[Bl@ckChris]

yeah dop is definitely like...the anti-peach main...but he's damn good at playing that woman

Downsmash, bro. That is the move you should be complaining about.

 

[Jockmaster]

Yeah the umbrella is one of the less threatening moves...

dash attack ***ing scares me

B/c we da best and all peach players r attached to their main b/c she to good to not be attached to

 

[ryuu seika]

D Smash? What is that again?

Also, I'm pretty sure most Kirby mains are attached to their character but that kinda goes without saying when you choose to main a low tier knowingly.

I definitely love Ganondorf and Donkey Kong more than any fictional characters, so naturally, when they're in a fighting game, it's going to make me super happy to use them.

I'm pretty much obsessed with Ganondorf, though.

But I do play like 8 characters next to Ganondorf in friendlies/teams, so I don't limit myself as much as I may think.

It's not as much of an emotional attachment as it is a pride thing. Come to think of it, I dont use Ganon in friendlies nearly as much as I should, simply because when Ganon comes out it becomes a seriously instead. I have a lot of pride in my Ganon, to the point of not even joking around with him (too much).

this. we ganondorf players think alike.

 

[Warhawk]

My friend is a Ganon main and he's crazy obsessed with Ganon, like probably chooses Ganon 90-95% of the time in friendlies even.

I feel like when players first start getting into the game, they stick primarily to their main, even in friendlies. But the longer one plays, the more they'll begin to experiment with more characters.

lol.

I've been playing for ten years.

I discovered peach in '06.

Never played another character in a tournament after that.

Last time i played another character in a friendly was 9 months ago.

after playing peach for that long i just can't use anything else......sort of like racism!

Old people get set in their ways.

 

[The Star King]

That's you. Doesn't mean most people are like that. And frankly I think people who play one character over 99% of the time are weird.

 

[Zodiac]

I used to have an emotional attatchment to link cause zelda: oot was the first deep video game experience I ever completed. But after a while I started liking the characters for their mechanics in melee
rather than "oooooo, my favorite"

 

[N.A.G.A.C.E]

I use peach a pretty ridiculous ratio to other characters, its just what happens when u main peach. But i do use others in friendlies

 

[Ambix]

That's you. Doesn't mean most people are like that. And frankly I think people who play one character over 99% of the time are weird.

Give it time.

You'll start hating black people eventually too.

When I was your age we had to walk 15 miles in the snow to hate black people.

Then 15 miles back.

with no shoes.

 

[The Star King]

I will never be like you.

 

[Ambix]

I will never be like you.

you youngins all say that.

 

[Bing]

In Toronto Im known as that guy who switches characters every to every other game. I generally use about 20 characters during friendlies. Then about an hour to half an hour before pools I go Fox. Its just for some reason when I use Fox when warming up at tournaments I play like *** and lose confidence. But as I get better Im becoming more confident and now I can pick my controller right up and go Fox and play fine. Its lovely..

Still use too many characters in friendlies though...

 

[Get Low]

Fiffffffffteen miles.
