I definitely prefer the heavy dudes, like Bowser and D3 (those are my mains) I used to play as lighter characters a bit more than I do now, but I decided the heavies fit my playing style more.

How about you?

Well i main more light chars than heavy, so i guess i like light chars and mid weight characters. The only heavy's i use is DDD and Snake.

I'm pretty sure this thread was made before.=/ i think......

I perfer light or middle weights because they're usually faster. I suck with all heavies in Brawl because they're so slow for me. In Melee it wasn't as bad because of L cancel, but in Brawl I get ***** when I use a heavy.

Eh, I like 'em both, but IMO, being able to move and attack faster is better than having more mass and strength.

I prefer them both.

I main the 2nd lightest character in the game and second the 3rd heaviest in the game.

Lightweight for me, because I like my characters to move and hit fast
Really? That's how I like my women.

Mario is mid-weight, as he should be. Ganon's pretty heavy, and Kirby is very light.

My 3 favorite characters along with Ness and DK.

Doesn't matter too much for me, as long as they fit my play-style. Like my two mains are very different! (Pikachu = light, Ike = Heavy.)

I main Light chars, mostly due to their speed and quick attacks.

Heavys are ok, but just too big a target.

♥ My post count is my age. Deal with it.
Light characters mostly. G&W, Jiggs, MK, and Diddy are my favorites.
All are good at gimping.

Although Wario and snake are my favorite heavy weights due to Wario's great recovery and bizzare air movement and snake's multiple projectiles, including a non-special trap, and has also a recovery that can be done again with b-down, intiate denotating, and use up-b again.

I like light characters that can survive a long time like Gdubs or MK.

Laughing while sayin' "idunno" with heav
It doesn't matter too much if you DI, but that doesn't always go your way.

My lightest char, Kirby, can usually live up to 130% in most cases while my Snake reaches 170%.

I used to prefer heavy weights, but it doesn't seem to matter all that much in Brawl.

middleweight and lightweight. I can get more combos across, I can run faster, sure less power but a better recovery (trust me the lighter ones have the better recoveries), with most lightweight ones its easier to juggle. If you dont believe me Id like to introduce you to my friends Kirby, Lucas, and Sonic. Yeah Ill pound your *** if you come across me.

I prefer heavy and mid-weight. Like Bowser and Marth ;)

I just can't play light characters :psycho:

Well, i don't mind. Heavy and middle do have the most cool characters =) (Ganondorf, Link, Bowser, Ike, Marth, King Dedede, ...)

Personally, i don't think they balenced the weight classes that well. Anyway, i use mario- medium, luigi-medium, ness- about medium light, sonic- medium. They have about similar playstyles(except sonic).

Boozer and DK are not slow....
Whoever said it obviously meant running/walking/horizontal air speed. Stop being so close minded, people! -_-

I prefer lightweights. I prefer being able to combo PLUS having speed is a big plus.

Light weight. Cuz all of them require techical skill (expect MK). Peach, Diddy and GnW requires a lot of skills before you can completely master them. The only middle and heavy are Luigi, Snake.

How on earth does Peach way more then ZSS? Is it the dress and gloves that make her weigh more? lol They should be the same weight at least.

I think it's all that junk in the truck (and by junk I mean her weapons. Obviously :p).
She also ways more than Zelda, Sheik and Marth, the only other characters that aren't very small.

I love your avatar and sig. A lot! <3
