Help me choose my character!

[Brawl1323]

I'm just a casual brawl player, so even though there are characters I'm better/worse with I don't have a main character. However, to see if maybe I overlooked someone that I should start using more I'd like to hear the opinion of others on which character fits my strengths/cancels out my weaknesses the best. So a some details about my (lack of) skills in brawl...

* I have a terrible grab game, for some reason when I'm playing brawl I never think to use it like I would with an attack. Every once in awhile I will randomly remember but it's mostly a useless skill for me.
* I'm pretty bad at recovering when I'm off the stage, so someone with a decent recovery would probably be a good idea.
* When I play with a really slow character against my friends I get projectile spammed the whole time if they're using a character like pikachu/fox/samus/etc. A lot of times they're also able to avoid me, go behind me, and attack/grab me before I have time to respond so even though I don't need a speedster I do poorly with the slowest guys.
* Unfortunately this is where a slow character would be most helpful to me, but I have trouble getting KOs.
* My ground game is better than my aerial game.

I'm probably looking for the perfect character, but any ideas on who I should use?

* Keep in mind me and everyone I play with are casual gamers so don't worry about any advanced techniques characters have.

Sorry, read stuff in most of the other places for a few days but never in this part of the board so I didn't think to look at the other threads first lol. Is there anywhere when I can discuss this? And I kinda dislike using MK cuz he seems to be by far the best choice, especially for casual players.

Pick King D3 because he has the biggest hammer

Generally, picking a main is entirely dependent on you, others can tell you who to pick as a main, but that's not the best way to go about it in my opinion. The way I found my main was ignoring the tier list, especially top tier characters, and simply experimenting. Seeing as you are pure casual, tier lists shouldn't matter to you anyways. It's the same concept as trying to find a major in college if you are undeclared. You won't know if you like or dislike majoring in something until you try it. With enough experimentation, you'll eventually find what character suits you, and what character you enjoy playing. The more you enjoy playing a character, the easier it will be on yourself to get better with that character. You can also try bouncing around in the Brawl Character boards, it might make your decision easier.

Good luck.
