Olimar/Alph and Pikachu are probably my least seen characters on FG.

I've never fought a Lucario in For Glory. Does that mean Lucario is an unpopular character?

The question asked by this thread relies entirely on anecdotal experience. You might go 1000 matches without ever seeing a character that I played against six times in a row last week, so listing characters we haven't personally run into doesn't mean anything.

Never seen Diddy Kong, Bowser Jr., Zero Suit Samus, Palutena, Dark Pit, Pit and Ganondorf.

Really.

I've only ever seen one Ness in FG. They beat me to a pulp and left after one match. ROB and Donkey Kong are two other rare sightings. It's sad, because those three are some of the most fun characters in the game.

Yes, but that doesn't make it any less interesting. It's still a good discussion topic, and anecdotal experience is still valid.

I can get behind that. I simply meant that if the intent was to figure out who the least popular characters were, you need raw data instead of anecdotal personal accounts, and I could have conveyed that more clearly.

For the record, I'm sitting at around 500 For Glory games right now and I've never seen :4diddy::4gaw: or another :4lucario:.
Everyone else I've fought at least once, but I'd say the 10 most popular characters show up in roughly 80-85% of my total matches.

I used to be a brawl player, and I think it's hilarious that I have yet to see a Metaknight. I would love to see more Olimars, Rosalinas, and Pac-mans. I always get Rekt when I run into one cause I have no idea how to deal... but Mk is the ONLY character that I've NEVER seen online.

Diddy Kong, Donkey Kong, Sheik (rarely), Pac-Man, Sonic, Mario, Dr. Mario, Luigi, Peach, ZSS, Wii Fit Trainer, Rosalina and Luma, Mr. Game and Watch (I play him, he's really fun), Pit, Olimar, Yoshi, Robin and Falco.

My ELO is probably just really bad, though. Most people just play Little Mac and Ness. I have no clue why Ness, but he's common.

Olimar for sure. I think I've seen ONE Alph, and that's it. Olimar/Alph is very uncommon.

Ness's are also fairly rare, but you see a few.

Luigi was kind of rare, but I've seen more recently. Maybe because he was in a Conquest people tried him out and then stuck with him. I don't know. I use him all the time though.

Zelda's are uncommon as well. I think I've probably seen about two, not sure.

Peach is pretty rare, I've hardly seen any of her.

Diddy Kong is kind of uncommon for me as well.

Dr. Mario is also uncommon.

Okay, I think I'm done.

:4olimar:,:4gaw:, and :4rob:.

Olimar must be pretty hard to use for him to not appear (or :4littlemac: seems to be the only spot on the roster).

I'm honestly surprised that not that many people see ness.
Even though I am a ness main so I see him a lot.

But I did see my first diddy kong yesterday. I haven't seen any :4pikachu::4kirby::4olimar::4wario2::4bowserjr:, or :4tlink:

or ridley :troll:

I have yet to see an Olimar (lol), DK I only see if I'm playing with someone long enough to switch up characters every now and then (aka not their main), I've only ever seen around 2 MKs, Pits, and Dr. Marios, and for some reason I rarely ever see Jigglypuffs and G&Ws.

I don't always run into Ganondorfs in For Glory

But when I do, the ditto is so satisfying.

Ganondorf dittos are so fun (lol). I do it all the time whenever I run into one as well.

I love it when they don't know how to tech the side b, and you can just input a muscle memory combo. Auto destruction.

Side b > down tilt > Fair > down b > Uair > recover > off ledge Bair

I was expecting to see tons of Zero Shorts Samuses and Swimsuit Shulks, but out of my 1200+ matches so far I've only seen two or three of the former and none of the latter.

I've mostly encountered Little Mac (especially this one), Lucario, Lucina, Rosalina, Bowser Jr., Pac-Man, Ganondorf, Captain Falcon, King Dedede, Toon Link, Ness, and maybe a couple of others that I can't think of off the top of my head...
The rest are a rare breed.

I'm sitting at 800+ battles now and I've never seen Shulk, Olimar, Meta Knight, Dedede, Kirby, or DK. Is this just coincidence?

I play a mean DK, since he's not my main. I play Kirby also sometimes.

I haven't seen a Fox, GW, Doc, Greninja, Dedede, Olimar, Luigi :( and another Pacman player yet.

I'm at around 1000 For Glory battles deep. Off the top of my head, I don't think I've ever played against a :4gaw: or a :4drmario: even once.
Every other character I've at least seen once, although I think the whole "once" thing applies literally to :4metaknight:, :4wario2:, :4pikachu: and :4kirby:. I would add :4pit: to the list, but I am a Pit main, so...guess that doesn't count. Way more :4darkpit: out there though, which makes little sense to me.

in my 1300 matches of FG i have seen every character at least once maybe twice but :4pikachu:, :4olimar:/:4alph: , and:4shulk: are some seriously endangered species.

The only Donkey Kong I've seen online is me. Besides that, I haven't played a whole lot of For Glory, so I really don't have much else to say about that.

Wario is so rare, I honestly forgot he was in the game.

I didnt play one to remind me. It was in a casual conversation about how nobody cares about Wario.

When I saw the Wario I was like "wow". He was using the glitch too, where your momentum can be moved back to the stage. Maybe thats why idk.

Olimar is one of the characters I play in my rotation, but I rarely see another one. Usually I only see one if I beat someone and they decide to mirror me.

Other than that, I very rarely see Villager, Peach, MetaKnight, or Palutena.
