Do you prefer playing as "cartoonish" or "realistic" characters in Smash?

I guess the cartoonish characters are my preference though I generally doing separate them into categories my head.
I still play Link, Snake, Samus, Little Mac, and Captain Falcon plenty, and I'm definitely going to try out Simon.

Cartoonish characters are just have the more interesting designs and are usually capable of more interesting moves than the "realistic" characters. "Realistic" characters also fall into this trap that they always have to look really serious doing whatever it is they are doing at all times and it's kind of dull. Especially when they're not even like that in their source games. Little Mac is like an excitable little child in Punch-Out Wii but he doesn't ever so much as crack a smile in Smash 4. It's bogus.

Sorry for the necroposting, just discovered this thread was not archived lol

Cartoonish BUT how is Fox considered realistic? He's a talking Fox in space that shoots other talking animals in space.

Also, Fox's home planet named "Papetoon"?

Cartoony


Realistic


Anime

Hmm... seems like most of my favorite characters are either cartoony or anime.

Sorry for repeating myself that's almost spam, but Mega Man is far more cartoonish than the Fire Emblems and Xenoblade folks, even if he was inspired by Astro Boy. (Although Osamu Tezuka was inspired by Disney cartoons and comic books to create his manga works, and later Disney partner with Capcom to create games based on their characters)

Now I will stop posting or mods will be mad at me, my fault.
