I main Captain Falcon and Marth.

Captain Falcon (pink) because he's so **** sexy and I can L-cancel to taunt. His style suits me and when he's attacking, he's destroying. I just wish his recovery didn't suck so much ****. :(

Marth because I'm just good with Marth. I have the spacing down, can easily combo, have decent mindgames, etc.

I've also put some serious study into Fox, Falco, and Ice Climbers--I know almost all the techs but they aren't ready for serious competition yet because of lack of real practice.

I'm pretty good with Sheik but who isn't? I hardly ever use her because I find her very boring and leaving little room for improvement.

Mario (Great Spike)
Doctor Mario (KO's are great)
Captain Falcon (Too Fast and Ftilt is Great!)
Luigi (Pink to Win!)
Ice Climbers (DeSync to Win!)

4) fox - shine wtf

5) luigi - green plumber loser at TG6
6) samus - samus never dies
7) jiggly - rest is scary

For casual play I try to switch it up for fun. But mainly...

Main: Link
Secondary: Sheik
Third: Peach

Jiggs is also fun. That's fun.

Right now, I play as four characters, and I've dropped two that I've practiced with, but didn't want to keep.

(in order of how skilled and comfortable I am with each character)

1. Marth
2. Gannondorf
3. Falco
4. Mewtwo.

I played Sheik in the past, but I dropped her after realizing that sheik has a really repetitive playing style, and that my Marth was much more exciting. (This is just my opinion, of course)

I also played Captain Falcon, that was until I tried Gannondorf. ^_^

1.) Mario (Main)
2.) Dr. Mario (although I don't like him too much)
3.) Fox (only against certain characters)
4.) Mr. Game and Watch (strictly friendlies)
5.) Yoshi (friendlies only)

I play Pichu, but strictly for friendlies or for fun, and usually against beginners.

Main: Samus (swd ftw)
Secondary: Marth ( dair spikes are oh so satisfying)
Third: Pikachu (used to be my main since SSB64, now only occasionally used)
Fourth: Luigi (Love the wavedash, plus his playstyle always throws off my friends)
Fifth: Ice Climbers (Desynching pisses my lousy friends off, plus wobbling, too good.)
Sixth: Sheik (Easy for anyone to get good with, funny because I always beat my friend who mains sheik in dittos)
Seventh: Young Link (Used to be my fourth, now only rarely used and only as a surprise character)

Wow. I just realized I use a lot of characters.

Main: Fox - Shine spike, up smash and air FTW

Secondaries: GAW - 9 FTW
Falco - My old main, lasers FTW
IC - love desyncing, but currently requires lots of training

Fun: Jiggs - I love rest combos
CF - Knee!!

I used to play purely my mains until about 3 weeks ago. Now that I have basic advanced play down, I'm much more free with my choices.

I play Fox. I'm not any good with any other character. I'm not really that good with Fox either, but I'm best with him, at least. ^^;

Let's just say I lose low-tier tourneys quite consistently ;_;

I use these chars in this order: Marth, Fox, Pikachu, Link, Bowser, Mewtwo.

Marth, Fox, and Pikachu make me win. Link is just cool as hell. Bowser and Mewtwo are fun to fight noobs with.

Completely in order:

Main:
Captain Falcon
I just love the speed and playstyle of CF, his combos are so satisfying, and I can cover alot of mathcups with him. But I really hate playing Fox/Falco as CF...

Secondaries:
Falco
Fox
Marth
Ness

These characters are for switching it up, and for taking on fastfallers. I use them frequently.

Randomish:
Roy
Sheik
Mr. Game and Watch
Luigi
Link
Ice Climbers
Mewtwo

This is the group I use to surprise people with. Pulling out Mew2 or GaW really surprises people. My link is pretty decent. As is my sheik (but wose isn't?). <3 Luigi WD.

^After this group, Don't count these as characters I play for the poll.

Getting less frequent...:
Doctor Mario
Jigglypuff
Mario

This group isn't used that often, but sometimes I'll whip Doc out (he used to be my main.) and Jiggs and Mario are fun to mess around with.

Almost never used unless I'm really bored:
Samus
Ganondorf
Zelda
Donkey Kong

I usually only use this group if I'm bored and just wanna do random ****. When I play samus, it's all about EXTENDERRRRR

Never used:
Pikachu
Young Link
Bowser
Yoshi
Pichu

These are the characters I NEVER play. I mean that by I've probably played them in a match Once. They are just unfamiliar in playsyle and awkward to use (although a while back I wanted to be good with Pika)

I use two people.
My main is Samus. Playing Super Metroid when I was 4 made me fall in love with her.
My second is Mr. Game and Watch. He is just super cool.
