Oh, and one more thing (actually a lot of things, really. I could write a whole page about Utilt).Thanks again for your insight and words of wisdom. I am having a very hard time trying to KO an opponent with his Smash attacks, so this will be a suitable replacement for me.
Welcome!
There's always that sense of satisfaction when you send a character up into the air for a KO.

But yeah, it is a very satisfying way of killing the opponent.
Not bad at all. Little Mac is usually pretty easy to deal with when using Mega Man. Just keep him at bay with pellets and Metal Blades. Though a really good Little Mac user can give you a run for your money.
The Captain does have speed, so he can potentially close in on you, but he's not particularly difficult. I've fought Lucina already, and I haven't had much of a problem with her. Well, that was on 3DS, I haven't fought online in the Wii U version yet. I most likely won't play seriously online until I get my hands on the GCN Adapter. Kinda painful to just see those controllers sitting there and I can't do a damn thing with them.
Pellet Pressure as much as possible and whenever possible. The only problem is mastering pellet pressure is the one thing stopping 'Man from being the best, so always practice it. Also it's always good to keep in mind that most things you don't think would work will with pellet pressure because you're constantly tripping up their flow and making them flinch for days (if they're not Bowser) so you can get in some random bairs/fairs after pewpewpew.
You can toss in a few Metal Blades while you're at it.
Eh, their greater hitstun makes it easier for opponents
Well, since you are in the Mega Man part of the site, you can expect most people to have a preference to Mega Man. I know I do too. I think both are good for mid range combat, and Mega Man also has an advantage at further distances too. Since you already have a sword fighter in Meta-Knight, Maybe Mega Man would be the better choice. You could always keep both around if push comes to shove.
Well, actually I plan on dropping MK as a main. He really doesn't add anything to my playstyle choices except multiple jumps. He's fun but I feel restrained using him. His range is deceptively small and he's actually more so punishable than most realize (or I just suck).
I would say Marth might work better if you really want to be more aggressive. But Mega Man works better for a more balanced level of offensive/defensive styles. Honestly, the two are different enough to pull off different jobs. But since you do have Samus as a Keep-Away fighter, Marth would be a more notable contrast. But I find Mega Man to be much more fun to use.
Go with both. Main MM and second Marth or vice versa. I'm learning Lucina just for the Kirby and Capt Falcon match-ups.
Well, I brought up the whole "mid-ranged" fighter thing cuz I am actually trying to find three mains: one for close-combat/rush down, another for mid-range, and the last for camping. Samus is my camper and I actually already reached out to the Capt. Falcon forum pub and they said Capt. Falcon might be what I am looking for in a rush-down character. So this mid-range character doesn't need to be the most aggressive, cuz that's what Falcon's there for. I could technically have both as a mid-range mains but three mains is already kinda pushing it.
I might do that. Problem is that now I have three characters I gotta pick up and learn (read my reply above if you wanna know the details). It's just more character juggling but I don't wanna have so many mains that I can't master any of them, ya know? I'll try though.
Tried watching but stream was too poor quality to watch. It was all skippy. Looks like you're doing well though.
Yeah, he turned the stream off. ;_;
You mean rolling? lol
I usually choose to throw a Leaf Shield to nullify them unless they overpower it like Lucario's fully charged Aura Sphere. If that's the case I jump and toss a diagonal metal blade. You could also slide under some projectiles such as Pit's arrows.
Of those Samus is the hardest as we can't do much against missile spam, especially at the start of a match. Still working on ideas for this one...stages with platforms would probably help a lot I would think.
This. Also, if your patience wears thin, you could try playing passive-aggressively (IE, get close and b-reverse metal blades/crash bombs, move back and fourth with nair, things of this sort). Nair/Jab I've noticed is seriously your friend for interrupting in matchups like this because it's fairly speedy (pretty sure it's frame 2 yeah?)
