Did Ultimate change your main character?

[Diddy Kong]

Innitially, before release, we all kind of knew which characters we where gonna main. For me, it'll always be Diddy Kong, and am not let down with him in Ultimate. But I did have a hard time adjusting to a few characters at first (mostly Diddy and Ike). So I almost became a DK main, since he's also crazy good in this game.

But the changes in the gameplay of characters might've made more impact on others. So, did Ultimate change your main? Feel let down with some changes? Speak of them here.

 

[Indecision]

Yeah absolutely.

I play Falco in Melee and the minuscule amount of time I spent playing Tr4sh I play Captain Falcon. Falco seems good in Ultimate but doesn't feel the way I want Falco to feel and CF seems underwhelming but I'll probably still play him a bit.

I've since picked up Pikachu and Chrom as I like their speed and their aerials.

Brawl ruined Falco for me and Ultimate has done little to repair that

 

[REZERO]

I didn't really like SM4SH ganon but Ultimate's ganon is viable, he's fun to play.

 

[Kobeskillz]

I did a lot of captain falcon in smash 4 but here I’m looooooving Ness.

I’m no where near a pro but I beat up 10 straight people using Ness online the other day.

The Cap feels nurfed in this game. Hard to kill.

 

[Madwario]

I still play Wario and im happy to see that he got his Wario Land dash attack back.

I gave up on captain Falcon and i have caught an interest on Simon Belmont.

 

[ｐｓ＿]

No, but at least her clone is pretty fun.

 

[Arymle Roseanne]

Technically no, well Villager was my most used in Smash Four but Diddy was just nearly as used as she was. In Ultimate I've been using Diddy a little more than Villager this time around(probably cause I did a lot of theme matches with two of him along with Dk and Rool, I couldn't resist since I love Dkc) despite being nerfed he still feels like one of my best characters to choose along with Villager who I'm still good with too, I'm also pretty good with Isabelle since she's similar to Villager of course.

I've been using Jigglypuff a bit more this time too since she's actually quite valuable at least compared to her past two incarnations, I'm trying to get a little better with Wendy but the koopa car still feels somewhat janky so I use her for fun.

I loved using Wolf in Brawl but I'll admit he does feel a little bit odd in Ultimate since they made him lighter weight and his recovery is very short now so he's one of pocket choices nowadays but he's still fun.

 

[Kadji100]

Yes, I planned to play Ganondorf but I don't realy like him in Ultimate (his sword feels so much slower than his regular smash attack from WiiU).
But Yoshi on the other hand plays realy great, so I switched to him as my main Character.

 

[KingBroly]

I'm close to going away from ZSS and back to Link. She's just too light in a game that favors heavy characters a lot. Also, Link's bombs are incredibly fun to mess around with.

 

[Pwnz0rz Man]

Mario looked pretty similar to how he played in Smash 4 and it seemed like he could pull off some of the same offensive shenanigans as in PM, but he just feels...lackluster. Would have gone to my secondary, but GnW feels drastically off too since they trashed his Box fair for what feels like a completely worthless bomb fair.

Switched to Yellow Inkling and never turned back.

 

[What Ganon's Up To]

I have barely played my traditional mains () at all since there are so many others I've wanted to play, and still more I haven't tried yet.

Chances are I come back to them again after a while, nowhere near decinding on an actual main yet.

 

[Mogisthelioma]

Smash 4 Kind Dedede was trash. Now he's looking sharp. Can't wait to start winning tourneys as him.

 

[osby]

Jigglypuff and Zelda are even better in this game but I found myself playing Palutena A LOT. She was already a secondary of mine, but I'm considering maining her seriously.

 

[Syntherios]

Ganondorf has been a fun pocket character of mine since Brawl but now that he's actually viable—borderline scary—he might be my new main from here on out.

 

[Nepht]

Been mostly a Kirby main since 64 I love Kirby games. Tried messing about with Mii's in 4 due to custom characters (I like that in games :3) but Mii's have been improved (Nia's wig on ALL the Mii's) Mii Swordfighter is all I use now ^_^

*Of course I did beat WoL with best boi Kirby though.

 

[Cap'n Jack]

Unless they buff Little Mac in patches, I will sadly have to find a new main. So far I am loving Simon

 

[himynameisruss]

Yeah absolutely.

I play Falco in Melee and the minuscule amount of time I spent playing Tr4sh I play Captain Falcon. Falco seems good in Ultimate but doesn't feel the way I want Falco to feel and CF seems underwhelming but I'll probably still play him a bit.

Brawl ruined Falco for me and Ultimate has done little to repair that

i mained falco in melee as well. they changed him so much in brawl and onwards it just feels awkward to play him now, so i won't touch him outside of melee (where i think he's perfect).

 

[MarkedRaptor]

I used to main little mac as well because he was the highest risk highest reward character in 4. Now? Nah he has no reward, they neutered his combo game and gave him some measly recovery buffs (He still won't make it back). Doesn't help that this game reduced end lag on all ariels which buffs ariels(which Mac doesn't have).

In 4 I'd say his ground game was a 10 and air game was a 1. Now? 7 and 2. You can just pick someone like chrom who has a better ground AND air game then Mac.

 

[newsuperhackboys]

My Main in Smash 4 & 5 was Bowser Jr. His clown car is usually filled with weapons like the cannon ball and his Up B. Ultimate gives me Daisy which could be biased since I'm a big Daisy fan but I had fun playing as her. I guess I really like Peach & Daisy's movesets. Toad did get a little upgrade where it stands on the ground as opposed to being held by the princesses. However, Inkling is a close second since they have a decent recovery and a nice Side B. They were almost my main here.

 

[Tri Knight]

Not much. I still use Link a lot. Think I prefer Young Link overall though, aside from the weight difference.

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I don't actually have a main in this one lol

I just use the characters I've mained in past games, like Wii fit trainer, Megaman, Pichu and Pokemon trainer.

 

[aarchak]

Yeah, I went from maining Shulk and Cloud to Roy and Inkling. I still play the other 2, but Roy's way too fun to play.

 

[Alternis]

I still really enjoy using all the characters I expected to, but my main has actually shifted to Yoshi. K. Rool and Ike are as good as I hoped, but Yoshi's aerials and movement feel fantastic to use.

 

[ChikoLad]

I usually adopt a policy of "main or at least secondary one of the newcomers" but none of them have been really clicking for me this time.

My previous mains were Rosalina and Sonic but Rosalina has been butchered in this game to the point where she isn't really fun or intuitive anymore and also suffers from bugs that make her inconsistent, and Sonic, while not quite butchered, definitely feels different and I am still trying to get used to him.

I've been trying more characters and surprisingly my best character might actually be Samus this time. Guess I should get on playing the Metroid franchise so I don't look like a poser.

 

[Azura Ahai]

I feel like Ultimate Palutena is nearly everything I hoped she would be back when Smash 4 came out. I was super excited for her but her attacks seemed so sluggish and easily punishable. So far it feels like she’s been improved across the board in Ultimate and I could see switching to her from Lucina.

 

[Rexamillion]

I have not actually play many different characters, I've stuck with the one I'm tried and true with, but you do get me thinking maybe I Should try them more. Like I at first was thinking after every time I unlocked someone I would try them out, but...now that I'm as far as I am I fell from that promise....maybe after I beat the World of Light I'll try doing the Classic mode with everyone after I've unlocked everyone and THNE make up my mind. Cause I DO want to expand my personal roster. I'll get back to you on this.

 

[RetrogamerMax]

I switch Bowser with K. Rool as my main in Ultimate as you can see on my profile.

I love how buff our girl has gotten in Ultimate, I'll definitely being playing with her more in this game.

 

[Mogisthelioma]

People are sleeping on Kirby saying he was nerfed but if anything Ultimate buffed him a lot and I easily see myself maining him and him becoming C or B tier.

 

[Siledh]

Been maining Link since N64 and this new Link is mostly the same, but the chamges are significant. Not enough to make me change, but enough that I am having a hard time coping, especially as I haven't had time to practise my fundamentals either.

 

[Luxent]

Considering Im LOVING Isabelle and she wasnt playable before..... it just might.

 

[Marmotbro]

Overall, I'm happy as a clam. My boy is back and that's all I really need. I didn't play much of or , but I'm really feeling them in ultimate. I didn't know I wanted and I adore him. my smash 4 mains all feel much better to play, except two. 's bike got nerfed hard, and his dash attack is no longer a combo starter. Overall he got buffed, but his nerfs ruined how i play the character and I'm just not feeling him this game. It's sad, but I think I'm gonna have to drop him.

might be the most irrelevant character in the game, and do his gimmick better. I would say he is the worst or second worst, with .

 

[Aouzy]

I was originally going to play as Daisy, Lucas and K.Rool; but Inkling, Isabelle and Simon really stole the spotlight for me. They're really fun to play and it feels like they were what I was missing all along

 

[Idon]

Made him WAY better in the air.

Unfortunately... kinda neutered his ground game...
and made his only good smash, terrible.

 

[Jumpinjahosavich]

Yeah absolutely.

I play Falco in Melee and the minuscule amount of time I spent playing Tr4sh I play Captain Falcon. Falco seems good in Ultimate but doesn't feel the way I want Falco to feel and CF seems underwhelming but I'll probably still play him a bit.

I've since picked up Pikachu and Chrom as I like their speed and their aerials.

Brawl ruined Falco for me and Ultimate has done little to repair that

Yeah Falco has been a lost cause since brawl.. best to have been moved on at brawl. Been 2 games since and it's almost an afterthought for me now until I clip on melee and fall in love with that bird all over again.

I've sinced moved on to DK, dedede, and Mario.

 

[Complex]

Yeah I basically spent all of my time in sm4sh with my boi clout but as soon as i picked him up in ult he felt so much worse. I'm at a crossroads now. There's so many characters. I know I'll be a joker main when he comes out, but until then I just have no clue. I've played everyone. Got elite smash with incineroar but I hate playing as him. I just don't know anymore. Please send help. I don't have a main... I don't know who I am anymore

 

[Vanguard227]

It sort of has. Marth has been one of my go to's since Melee, but I gotta say I just can't seem to get a good handle on Marth in Ultimate's engine.
I used shield breaker and dancing blade a lot in Smash 4, but the way they both work in Ultimate feel very different, and I can't seem to use them to their full effect anymore. I also feel like his jump is different as well, as I can no longer fair to dair consistently anymore in a single jump. I probably just need to practice with him more and adjust to his changes, but for someone who used him in over 8,000 matches in Smash 4, Marth just feels weird to play now.

However, my other main, Ike, remains at the top and I am loving every second of using him in Ultimate.
I'm also still using Link and Ganondorf and I'm actually getting pretty decent with Roy, who was my first Melee main, so I'm kind of coming full-circle in a way. XD

 

[T3RT1S]

I use to main Mario but his down throw got nerfed so I’ve lost a bunch of combo potential. I’m seeing how Dr. Mario feels and he’s feeling better then Mario

 

[Uffe]

There are a number of things that they changed for Ness. His yo-yo is a good gimping tool, and his u-smash actually kills. They gave him his old dair back, so now he can spike with that. I was afraid of his new uair, but it's more of a blessing than a curse. PKF seems to do more damage, but it's easier to escape. PKT leads into more stage spikes than it did in Sm4sh. Bair seems deadlier, and nair feels like it has a tad more range. I'm liking the new Ness, but I'm afraid Nintendo is going to nerf him hard, which will upset me, because this might actually be the first time he's a good character for once.

 

[Zinith]

Even if I WASN'T Zinith the Yoshi Nut, I still wouldn't change cause Yoshi feels so good in this game...

 

[Sari]

I'll always use no matter what, but has been so much fun that I've been using him a bit more recently.
