If you like Yoshi, try Fox!

They have a similar UpSmash, NAir, FTilt, and lots of other moves! Fox moves a decent amount quicker than Yoshi however, which allows you to combat opposing Foxes and Shieks! Fox also has a straight-away projectile, so Link players can't just zone you out with projectiles! Their options for recovery are very different however. Fox can also do many more combos than Yoshi. This doesn't make him any better though, as Yoshi is a lot stronger in most of his moves. Fox also has his Shine, which allows you to combat Lucario and Ness players!

If you like Sheik, try ZSS (and vice versa)! Many of their moves are very similar, but Sheik is a bit more mobile.

They have similar F-smash, Down-b, movement (and they can both crawl) and they're both pretty good jugglers.

If you like Pit, try Dark Pit!
The Sakurai bias this young one has. Strong Jedi it will make him.

If you like Bowser, try King Dedede.
Both are fat ass sons of *******. Slow but heavy hitting. And they both play very similarly, being able to tank a lot of damage before being able to be KO'd.

- If you like Robin, try Ness.
-
If you like Snake, try Duck Hunt. Seriously, I can't be the only one who believes the majority of his move-set was manipulated from Snake's in ways.
- Some will call me crazy for this one, but if you like Mega Man, try Palutena. They both excel at zoning IMO.

If you like Ness, don't bother using other characters. Ness is all you need.

I'd say if you like Peach, try Jigglypuff and vice versa. They both excel in the air, have powerful aerial attacks, they do most of their fighting up close, and they're both pink.

Mario actually feels completely different to me from Luigi, and I was never able to get a proper feel for Mario. It just doesn't feel fluent or smooth like it does for Luigi. Honestly Dr. Mario feels like he controls better than Mario as a Luigi main.

That is a good one. Chances are a Robin main will enjoy Ness and vice-versa.

Their moveset*

I am guessing we want something more than the "clones" right? "If you like Lucina you may well like Marth" is hardly game breaking knowledge lol!

:4luigi: is one of my mains, so I can play a decent :4mario:/:4drmario:. Their play style is a different and more complex than :4luigi:'s but feel the same.

If you like Brawl Falco, you'll like Sm4sh Falco!

Oh wait...no you won't.
Personally, I prefer my old voice.

This goes both ways, but if you link Link try Marth/Lucina. They feel similar as sword characters, but with Link having more emphasis on projectiles and Marth/Lucina having more on aerials. Definitely think players of one will enjoy the other though.

I came here to make a Ridley joke.

Then I remembered that they're never funny.

Oh well.

Anyway, how about something a little bit different?

If you like Marth, try Mega Man.

What?

They're pretty much polar opposites, but I personally enjoy them both pretty much equally for some reason I can't explain. Just try a character that's the complete opposite of what you're used to, you might be surprised.

If you like Ike, try Shulk. Long-reach swordsmen, sacrifice Ike's power for Shulk's versatility.

If you like Captain Falcon, try Ganondorf. Sacrifice speed for absurd power.

If you like Zelda, try Rosalina. Some similar aerials and they just feel similar to me.

If you like Ness, try Robin. Less-spammable but stronger projectiles.

Inverse also works for each.

One of my friend who is a Kirby main says that Smash 4 Kirby is better than 64 kirby. I think he's nuts, do you agree?
Hmmm I wouldn't say kirby's better than 64 but she is definitely stronger than brawl

If you like Donkey Kong, try new Bowser. Different moveset but has the powerhouse feel you like, and small cost to speed.
