I've always used Falco as my main before I even discovered SWF.
I learned to use Fox some and I absolutely love Mewtwo.
I'll use other characters for some matchups sometimes.

I have a motley assortment of characters that I play as.

My main would have to be everybody's favorite broken character, Sheik. She compliments my playing style very nicely and I have lots of fun playing as her. You can't beat a break dancing ninja, folks.

In a very close second are the Ice Climbers. They're alot of fun (in some ways, even more fun than Sheik). I haven't got DeSynching quite down yet, but I do pretty well without it in the meanwhile. However, it's on my agenda to conquer it. I consider them to be my second main. Lol.

Sometimes, I whip out Peach. I enjoy playing as Peach because plummeling people while floating in the air is just too much fun. Again, I haven't mastered her advanced techniques (float canceling is a bit tricky for me and plus I can't do fancy **** with her turnips) but I do okay without them. I mostly whip her out for fun.

I also play as Young Link. I love older Link, don't get me wrong, but he's just way too slow. That's why I whip out Young Link. He's got the one thing that the older Link doesn't have: Speed. Sure, he doesn't have as much power, but that's why ya gotta be creative with 'im (I thank Buzzsaw's Kokiri Conqueror guide for some inspiration; good stuff, man).

I use:

1. Fox - my main. Played him in ssb64, and loved him, so I stuck with him in melee
2. Ice Climbers - I love their wavedash
3. C. Falcon - He runs fast. I suck with him though
4. Ness - PK Fire!
5. Falco - SHL's can annoy quite easily
6. Peach - Turnips ftw :)

Sorry for double post but I just needed to update to find out which characters are the most used. I've noticed that if you play with other characters, you improve playing, and predict your opponents moves by knowing what you face. Just remember to keep at it with your main.

hmm my characters are as followed

Ylink - seems to be my best, so my friends say but i am scared to death bringing him to tournys. one night i had a dream of watching ylink in third person battling evil in hyrule like OOT and remembering the ending of Ocarina of Time is SOOOO good, such a cliff hanger this is another reason i use ylink
fox - OF COURSE, who doesnt use a furry?
falco - the annoying shl birdy yes.
jiggly- love the WoP, shes cute with the red flower hat lol
mario- mario fan since super mario 64! 120 stars oh yea
link - gotta keep it old school, OOT for n64 was too good
yoshi - DJC aerial game is good but i get dominated more than half the time with the guy

Fox - Shine.
Falco - His stun game is so cheap.

Dr. Mario - Pill MINDGAMEZ?
Captain Falcon - Speed MINDGAMEZ?

Young Link - Aniki + Mindgames = h4x
Marth - Whenever I feel womanly, I use Peach. Whenever I feel even moreso, I use Marth.

I used to use Fox a lot but then I used Marth. Even though Marth scares me with his... Strange-Womanly-Looks. And Falco. Also I used Doc sometimes.

I main pretty much every character. The only ones I don't use much are Doctor Mario, Captain Falcon, Ice Climbers, Young Link, Pichu, and Mr. Game & Watch.

Though I did start getting interested in the IC's tonight.

As for my best characters, those would have to be Marth, Fox, Falco, Peach, and Zelda (yes, Zelda; not Sheik).

EDIT: Post #100. ^o^

Main(s): Falco, Fox
Secondaries: C. Falcon, DK (I probably wouldn't use either in tournament unless it's an easy matchup, because I'm not very confident in them)
Characters I can't stand playing: Roy, Yoshi, Ice Climbers

Fox - Fast and Deadly, super-effective mindgames
Captain Falcon - Arguably the most fun character, Knee FTW
Ganondorf - A character designed for slow strength; a little speed goes a long way
Ice Climbers - There are two of them
Pichu - Speed and unrivaled evasive abilities...not to mention the sweetest of victories
Mewtwo - The worst character in the game you say? Sounds like a challenge to me
Falco - I think every smasher should learn to play as this annoying bird, just to know how to defeat it
