I am fairly new to the Smash series and in the Wii U version I mained Kirby. However, as most of you know, in Ultimate, Kirby is plain old rubbish. I tried to main Corrin and that went well but I couldn’t get any better and she just doesn’t have ANY meteor smashes ad was fairly easy to launch. My brother thinks that I should main Captain Falcon but he is so fast for my play style and not very powerful. I don’t especially like heavy weights and I have been training with Pokèmon trainer and it’s ok but people know how to beat me really easily. I am determined to beat my rowing coach as his main Ganondorf, but I need a main. Any suggestions? I am happy with DLC options as well!!!

Hey!

You should try:

-Mario
-Zelda
-Pikachu
-Samus

They all have meteor attacks and they aren’t too heavy or too fast.
Good luck!

GO through the entire cast and play who you find fun and enjoyable to use;

Don’t “main” someone just cuz they’re high tier. Unless your goal is to quite literally work your way to the top of ultimates tournament scene , and spend hours upon hours and quite a lot of money training and going to offline tournaments.

You’re not quite ready to attempt something like that, and trying to waste your time maining a high tier just to get some points on a meaningless online ranking system will just leave you frustrated and annoyed if you aren’t lucky and happen to just have a high tier “click” for you and feel fun.

Go with a character you actually enjoy using, or even just love them from their own games, smash is a fighter filled with characters from all across the gaming world, surely there’s ONE of em in there you enjoy for more than just smash.



I’m a ganondorf main, I have been since 4. I love the lore of the character and his design from the Zelda universe, and while I’d rather have him with a moveset more true to the character from the Zelda series, that doesn’t mean I don’t find his play style fun. I still very much enjoy it.

I also know he’s a low, (possibly even bottom) tier character again. But idc, Because I enjoy the character.


That’s the mentality you should be with right now. If you still enjoy Kirby’s games, the character himself, or have enjoyed him in past smash games, why ditch him just cuz he’s not high tier?

Also knowing he’s not great could give you a goal; actually using a low tier effectively. As a ganon main I enjoy seeing the shock on some players faces when they get bodied by such a disadvantaged character. More so if they decided to pick a high tier.

Thank you both! I’ve been going well with both Mario and Pikachu, and as one of you had suggested I went through and quite enjoyed playing Diddy Kong which I laughed at his peanut pop gun which I remember spamming in Donkey Kong Jungle Returns. :)

I cant give you advice on who to main, just play randoms yntil you find a character you like. You dont have to start out winning. find a character you like and inprove from there, It dosent have to be a top teir just someone you like.
