I can't make myself have more than one competitive main. I can only condition myself to knowing and understanding one move set and style of play, especially given that Sonic's is so unique. It's just not as easy for me to switch from character to character. At least under tourney rules. In item friendlies I'll use Snake, Wario, and Olimar, just to screw around. I've tried those guys under tourney rules and I'm just overmatched. No chance.

I only have one main, because you can only have one main. Any other character is an alternative.

Main: :samus2:
Secondaries: :zerosuitsamus: :pit: :diddy:

Just two mains: :marth: :samus2:

Otherwise, I mess around with everyone some.

Honestly, I can't understand how people can have 5 mains and still be equally good with all of them. I'd go insane remembering frame, sweetspot, and attack property data for all of them...

Main:


Secondary: I'm attempting to find one, so far it is

Not good with Mario yet

OK maybe it isn't Mario! it maybe...


@Zeruel21 - well to be honest, I don't know anything about the frames and data nonsense, I jsut aim for the kill.

Main: :peach:

Secondaries: :pt::jigglypuff::yoshi2::luigi2::diddy:

I play a lot of people, and sometimes my PT and Luigi are about as good as my Peach.

Mains: :falco: :wolf: :rob:

Secondaries: :metaknight: :dedede: :snake: :dk2:

For Messing About: :bowser2: :ganondorf: :falcon: :luigi2: :ike: :diddy: (I'm decent with a few of those)

I sometimes mess about with my mains and seconds, but I need to update my gameplay(learn the new techs that I missed out and stuff)

I have 3 mains: Zelda/Shiek, Pit, and Zero Suit Samus (all about equal, but I use Zelda/Shiek the most)

And then 3 I like to use but I'm not awesome at: Yoshi, Kirby, and Mario.

^^^This quote is unbelievable. -_-...I laughed so hard at it when at the first glance.


Everybody should literally have only one main, which I think there's no such thing as having more than one main. It just doesn't make sense. And the rest of your so called "mains" should all be secondaries. Secondaries are suppose to counter your one main's bad matchups.

Wouldn't it be impossible to have multiple main characters? I mean, determining something as a main would be the highest priority. It is very difficult to have multiple things holding highest priority, but even if you did you wouldn't have main"s." You would still have an opinionated favorite (most likely) or one that you are naturally better with. Which ever one that fits that would be your main and the others would be secondaries if not co-mains much like a star of a show and an equally important character in said show as a co-star.

Doesn't that make more sense?

Read my previous post people. Yeah I pretty much just said that. There's no such thing as having more than one main period.

Read your post? Nah, I don't read non-OP posts. I look at the first page and then post regardless of where the conversation went or is at not to mention checking to see if the point I brought up has already been brought up at least once before.

Oh, and thread date. That is unimportant too.
In other words, sorry I posted like a n00b and didn't read the thread before replying. Doesn't happen much.

I main three characters, and four secondaries right now. Marth, Ike, and Ness is my main, then Pit, ROB, Luigi, Lucas, and Sheik is my secondaries.

It makes no sense for one to say he has more than one main.
I'll say instead that I mainly play these 5 characters (in order of preference): Pit, Ike, Sonic, Samus, and Snake. I just pick characters that I find fun.

I try to use 1 character from every franchise, which means I have around 20 characters...

But my mains are Samus, and my secondary is Meta Knight (I know, cheap and overused, blah-blah-blah). I also use Sonic, Lucario, and Wolf a bit more than other characters.
