Oh, I play as Five.

Main :pikachu:

Secondary :pt: :ness2: :lucas: :falco:

It's best to keep the count low and varied, to keep away from the "Jack of all trades, master of none".

I use Mario, Wolf, Marth, and Jigglypuff.

I am a defensive player. Mario has a defense rating of about 6, but he is so fast that he can jump/dodge very quickly. Wolf, Marth, and Jigglypuff all have very high defensive ratings.

All 4 of these characters have high overall ratings.

I play all chars, with the exception of a few gaylords. I'm decent at best with all of them, but I'm gonna master about 10 of them.

Ah thanks man, I couldn't see the "More" link on my screen. Now I just have to figure out how to sig it. You going to that get-together next Saturday? If they're definitely going to have a cable tv hookup to show the game, I'll show up, even if for a couple of hours. I know I won't be that great there but at least I get to see you play against tough competition :)

Lol, i remember my first ever melee tournament, my friends convinced me to go as random cos i didnt have the game nor did i have a main. I somehow made it through the pools but got knocked out straight from then. But surely it isnt viable to main random in a tournament consistently and do well? Im guessing the ppl who main random either only do so in friendlies or do so to find characters to use in tournament, am i right?

yep i'm definitely there i'll be interested to see who shows up and what mains and secondaries i'll be fighting against, there are still some characters i'm not experienced against in their meta games so i'll be excited... If i get beat by a yoshi i'll jump out of a window lol

I've been kinda bouncing around mains between ICs, Fox, and Lucario. Along with them, I am confident with my Marth and Olimar. So, all together five characters I'm confident with.

Depending on the situation if I want to do amazingly well against a serious opponent i'll main zelda,bowser,and perhaps 3 other characters. If friends are over, usually we will do random just to mix it up a little.

I still find it effective to cover a range of play-styles with your characters.
Snake, Pikachu, PkMn Trainer, Link, Falco.

I think I've got it covered. ._.

I pretty much stick to Ness and Lucas, but occasionally use PT... I'm too lazy to try to practice with everyone. I'd rather be really good at 1 or 2 instead of just okay with 5 or 6
