Hey guys, Well Im not asking who the best character is or anything, but im trying to see who is the best range character to use for long range attacks, I cant seem to win with any of the close attack chars [sonic, metaknight, ect.] so i want to ask out of these im about to list, Which seems to fit best for me

What i like [ speed, Quick, great recovery, unpredictable]

Falco, Fox, Ness, Lucas, Olimar, Link, Toon Link, Snake, Pit, Pikachu, Samus, Lucario, Diddy.

Please only respond if you are helping, i really dont need any smart talk from anything when im just looking for some good help, Thank you.

We can't tell you which character fits you the best, try every character and see which you like and how their projectiles work for you then just train with that character and get better with them, if you cant win with MetaKnight then your doin it wrong. lol.

Snake and Lucario. Snake's UTilt can hit from like, across the stage. His FTilt is amazing too. Lucario just has a lot of far reaching attacks. King DeDeDe also comes to mind.

I think there may be a misunderstanding, are we talking range or projectiles? Dedede and Ike have great range with a Hammer and Sword as long, if not longer, then their bodies.

The Best Projectile award goes to Snake I suppose, with Grenades and a Controllable missile but Olimar out camps him with Pikmin, although Diddy and R.O.B. deserve an honorable mention with bananas and an infinite range laser. From your description of the kind of character you like R.O.B. sounds perfect, so give him a try and see how you like him.

You want range eh? Use Snake. I swear, his knee will reach ANYONE half way across the stage.

On a serious note, try using Falco. Laser=fun.

Best range... I'd have to say either Ivysaur or Olimar. Olimar is, overall, more useful, though.

If you want versatility and success, go with Toon Link, Link's spam game is really ungratifying.
If you want free wins, go with Snake.
If you want to develop your own play style, get out of here for now and find which character suits you best witjout the help of strangers.

Pikachu. Has a ranged game, is quick, and has a VERY good recovery.

And a character is only as unpredictable as you make them.
