How many characters can you play "efficiently" as so far in Project M?

[Japsy]

So many characters play so differently, and some still play the same as they did in other Smash games. How many of them can you play efficiently as?
Efficiently as in, maybe you wouldn't list them as your Main, or secondary, but characters that you're decently good with, maybe you could even make them your secondary if you tried a little harder.
Just wondering since the roster is so big, with the Pokemon + ZSS getting their own slots plus Mewtwo/Roy returning
For me it's: >
One of the reasons I'm enjoying PM so much is because everyone is viable and it's lots of fun learning how to use the entire roster (though obviously I just mostly focus on Mario/Kirby)

 

[Ting Sing]

Well, I main Captain Falcon. But overall, I guess I'd call myself efficient with Jigglypuff, Ness, Mario, Samus, Falco, and Mewtwo.

[RascalTheCharizard]

Because main.
Because secondary.
Because I've watched Taj play and can mimic his style lol.
Because they're disgustingly easy to play as.

 

[guedes the brawler]

considering i can't even consistently WD/L-cancel yet, 0

Damn wish I could play a decent Nidoking.

If we're talking about characters we can't play well I'd say Olimar. He has to be the only character that I can't get a grasp on even at low level play.

 

[Hinichii.ez.™]

Mario, mk, pit
They all ez to play

 

[Kink-Link5]

I like to use because he throws pikmin.

 

[Deleted member]

eli this thread is your fault, look what you've done.

 

[kchamp523]

Just and maybe

 

[Xenozoa425]

Pretty much every character except

Peach
Ice Climbers
Pikachu
Squirtle
Ness
Yoshi

 

[ShadowGanon]

Ganondorf. Do I need to be efficient with any other character? Nope.

 

[Tryst]

I'd say Sonic, and a little bit of snake.

 

[QuickRat]

and more or less.

Then, I'm kind of learning to play with some others like , , , , and .

I plan to main Ness, Falcon and a third one to cover my weakness.

 

[Celestis]

Lucas and Fox as my mains, Marth, Roy, Puff, and some day, Luigi..

 

[Kaye Cruiser]

Pretty much anyone who isn't Olimar.

My top 5 though are Mario, Falcon, Marth, Ike and Sonic. Ganon being the secret sixth.

Lucario, Wolf, Mewtwo, Zamus and Roy being secondaries.

 

[Chesstiger2612]

No one, at least for my standards. My is getting closer and closer though.

 

[victinivcreate1]

 

[himemiya]

 

[Thamauturge]

1. Captain Falcon
2. Falco
3. Roy
4. DDD
5. Fox
6. Marth

 

[Pseudomaniac]

I main and . I've also been trying to pick up lately. I can play most of the cast somewhat efficiently, but I'm best with those three.

 

[PMS | Tink-er]

I main toon link, lucas, and squirtle

 

[Mischief]

Marth and Snake

Then Pit, Mewtwo, Fox, Falco

 

[Zoa]

Mains are Mewtwo and Lucario. Secondaries are Link and Ganon. Pretty efficient with all them and other characters I just use to screw around with.

I have yet to get to "efficient" status in general with any character or just "efficient" at the game in general. :L

 

[Alfonzo Bagpipez]

My definition of "efficient" is probably different from OP.

Under my definition, I can play efficiently, but that's it.

Under OP's definition, I can play

 

[InfinityCollision]

Wouldn't really consider myself decent with any but the first ~five though.

 

[Sol0ke]

 

[GeZ]

Casual players who say they main more than 2 characters are bad. It just means you're bad with all those characters you "main". Pick one so you can stop getting bodied by actual players, you obobobo's.

 

[Sour Supreme]

I can play Lucas, M2, Ness, and Roy pretty efficiently.

 

[arcticfox8]

I play Charizard pretty well and I'm getting better with MK
I used to play Ice Climbers pretty well but I kinda rage quit them
I'll revisit them some day

who really cares, though.

 

[GeZ]

It's just dumb and no one realizes it. I can navigate the game with every character, that doesn't mean I main the whole game. But nobody else realizes this so you get a lot of sub par players. More commitment to single characters means better competitive scene means better competitive growth means better balancing/ testing/ community/ tournaments/ etc.

people having fun means a larger community means all of those things. i'm actually with you to some extent, especially on a case-by-case basis with people who really care about placing highly, but a lot of people don't care about being bad and i honestly don't believe the community suffers for that like you think. if they really cared about winning they'd figure that out on their own, but i don't think many of these pan-character users really believe its the best strategy for placing well in tournaments and its counter productive (for your goals) to criticize them for that mentality.

 

[GeZ]

I understand where you're coming from with that, but I have friends who are the same way, which is fine, but Smashboards is a strategy forums place, largely. Not saying no fun allowed (really I enjoy all the shenanigans) but I assume when people show up here they mean to improve, so I act under that assumption. It's fine if they don't care to improve, I just answer threads as if everyone was writing to better themselves. Probs a bad habit.

 

[Circle_Breaker]

Nah that's honestly a pretty safe assumption I guess I just got a splinter in my ****.

 

[InfinityCollision]

Is this thread really about maining that many characters though? The OP didn't seem to indicate that.

I mean, there's playing someone well enough that you don't look like you're just mashing buttons (what I take this thread to be), there's playing them decently well, and there's actually being good with them for your skill level (those you'd use in a competitive setting). All very different things.

 

[Player -0]

But maining the random button

 

[Strong Badam]

Like half the cast because I actually play the game.

 

[Babali Boon]

I'm still fairly new to this game, having only played other Smash games casually years ago, so I'm still learning which characters fit me best. At the moment, aside from my main Wario of course, I have a G&W that can sometimes rival him. I started out with Sonic, so I can play him decently, and I have also done well as ROB and Dedede. Mario would always be my go to in casual play, so I feel good with him, too, but then it starts going downhill.

So there are about 5-6 characters I play decently right now, 2 that are the best.
