Getting bored of your main?

[Barge]

Heres a bit of advice, I don't know if it'll work for most of you. But it usually works for me.

Just change the color that you usually use, sounds like wacko advice. But it won't seem as boring.

Then again, it might be that I'm only bored of looking at the same color every time =/

 

[M15t3R E]

Hey, I do that. I used to only use my character in blue, but now I choose any color at random every match.

 

[JacobWins]

Yeah, as stupid as this sounds, it helps.

 

[Black_Heretic]

I already used every color of my previous main and still got sick of him (Snake).

Another thing that helps is playing a large amount of characters. It seriously keeps things fresh

 

[The_Blue_Bomber]

At strange as it sounds, this does work. I got pretty sick of Marth, then I changed to red Marth and now he feels new again.

 

[The Great Leon]

the best is when you either like or dislike all of their colors. then you can pick any one :O

 

[Browny]

what if you main sonic?

LULZ

sif anyone could ever get bored of him anyway

 

[Kinzer]

Pink/White jumpsuit Falcon is too good.

 

[Red Arremer]

If you get tired of your main, and also are already fed up with different colours, try using a clone, if available.

If there's no clone, I suggest you to take a character with either similar playstyle, or better, absolutely different playstyle. So if you use a fast lightweight, try using a slow heavyweight instead.

If that doesn't help either: Do one of those "Play Mode XY with all characters". You may find a character who wakes interest in you, then you can play a bit with them, and afterwards switch back to your old main.

With Captain Fabulous, you are playing a completely new character. No johns.

 

[chic]

been using the green luigi since 64 and im still going strong!!!!

 

[Jimnymebob]

I use lots of different characters.
I just use random when I'm fed up of Marth, or can't decide who to use.

 

[Asdioh]

what if you main sonic?

LULZ

I laughed because it's true.

sif anyone could ever get bored of him anyway

sif anyone could get into him in the first place >_>

 

[Mr. Rogu]

well a couple of months ago, i played ness and for some reson stopped playing him, but now i picked him up again so i feel good.

 

[akkon888]

Holy crap, this works! Thanks.

 

[GRogErEN24]

my main just started getting interesting.

 

[The Slayer]

I have been doing this since the first one. However, it does make the character a little more distingushed.

 

[actionblackbird]

Yea, I went from blue to red.

I also sugest to change the name of your smash character. unlike last month, I called my Lucas "Luffy" and this month, I call him "Popeye" then went back to blue.

Yes, name changing also works

 

[~Peachy~]

Good advice, but I usually just make my secondary my new main for a few weeks.

Hmmmm.. but then I'd have to call myself ~Zeldy~ or ~Kirby~. ^__^;

How cute would Bowsy be
I usually swap between the characters I can use best.

 

[Tamoo]

Im gettin really bored of olimar and changin colours just made me peform worse for some reason. Oh well, at least ive got pit to fall back on

 

[Lord Exor]

It's impossible to ever get bored of Meta Knight.

 

[GHNeko]

Actually. I might have to try this. I've been using Wedding marth since Melee, and Fire Mario since brawl launch with the name GHN since Melee. I recently got bored of the two in a sense, that I wanted to take a break from them, since I've been playing them for so god **** long, hence why I picked up Manchu as a 3rd. And god ****, do I enjoy playing as him.

Though, I might try the new color thing. New name, is kinda hard for me. Rof.

 

[NintenOwned]

I've been using purple Dedede for a while now. That never seems to get old

 

[Red Arremer]

Purple De³ is only beaten by Captain Fabulous and the manliest man evar.

 

[Lex Crunch]

Can't stand changing colors. Only special ones (that aren't "dark" characters) and defaults suit me. I prefer to just play another character primarily for a week or so and then come back to the old one and realize why you picked him/her in the first place. That's why I'm playing Ganny right now. He's become my secondary in the process, too.

 

[notftomearth7]

What also helps is if you have special names for each costume. For example, for The multi-colored Meta-Knight I call him "Fiesta Meta-Knight."

 

[Sosuke]

I used to do this. ._.

^
Don't remind me of those days, please.
But lol. =)

 

[ZeroFox]

Meh, I have 3 mains, and I'm working on adding a 4th. I always use black or the darkest color possible. Changing the colors doesn't really help prevent me from getting bored of my mains. Although to be honest, I don't get too bored of them. Since I have several, I can always switch to another for the time being and keep things interesting

 

[unwelc0med]

falcon love is good

and yeah, i'm now cool blue snake

 

[PoisonMist]

Switched from white luigi to orange and now I play so much better.

 

[eman]

yeah I am getting a little bored of Mario, all of my records in brawl are Mario LOL...using new chars is fun!

 

[MyNameIsRyan]

Thanks mixing up my Falcon colors kinda makes it seem he doesnt suck that much.

 

[ScubaF_ingSteve]

I do this all the time. I even switch colors when I am doing bad with that character. Example: Diddy Kong

When I use my diddy, I sometimes don't play well, so if I'm using say purple, I switch to white and yellow and play much better. It helps a lot with all my characters. Well expect my wolf, where I always use white-red.

Not cute at all. *looks at name*

 

[Barge]

I've played black and white Ice climbers for a while. Got bored, now I'm trying to dual blue ice climbers (the one were nana is a lighter shade of blue than popo), and its fun again

 

[Mewtwo1414]

I haven't gotten bored of my first and second mains yet, my favorite color change is Ness in purple, he somewhat looks like a gangster in the color, lol.

 

[-Mars-]

I stay with the same color always and as long as I play real people, I never get bored.

 

[SothE700k]

Am I the only one who doesn't have this work for me?
I've switched colors left and right, and it doesn't help me being bored of a character. In fact, it just annoys me.
I'd rather just take the time and play around with other characters, get a feel for them.

 

[SharinganKnight]

It actually does freshen things up to change colors. Though I've been playing Ike since release and it hasn't gotten boring yet.
