You have too much time on your hands if you pay attention to stuff like this.

A lot of the characters seem left handed, because of the way they stand. Have you ever noticed that most characters seem to be somewhat facing the camera when they are moving right? This puts their left hand in front. Whenever they are moving left, their backs seem to be pointed at the camera, again putting their left hand forward, and visually, this makes a left-handed attack seem to make more sense to the viewer. Just think about how long it took most people to realize all the characters are lefties. (and this really doesn't mean that they are all really left handed) I'm not sure, but I think the facing right is a reference to a lot of the old side scrollers, most of which went left to right, and a lot of the characters come from side scrollers, so this makes sense.

Falco's strongest hits on his armed based movements (Jab, Utilt, Nair, Fsmash) is with his Left Hand. He even puts his Left hand slightly more forward than his Right Hand when doing the Fsmash. He also grabs the ledge with his Left. However, he shoots with his Right Hand. Possible reason on why he shoots slow?

Falco doesn't have hands.

Wow, I sometimes use Bowser as secondary character, but never noticed he's a lefty. But I do know Link is a lefty. Also, notice how Donkey Kong is ambidexterous, possibly the only ambidexterous character.

Has the OP checked what hands right handed characters use for items? That's right, their left.

Why? Simple (and logical). How weird wouldn't it look if, for example, Zelda used her left hand for items? Certain held items still allow normal U- and D-tilts and smashes. How weird wouldn't it look if Zelda U-tilted while holding a Beam-Sword? And it also introduces the dilemma of having to include the Beam-Sword as a hitbox in her U-tilt.

And then there's Link (and characters like him). Link already holds a sword in his left hand...

You can pretty much tell who is left handed and who is right handed. Characters with a weapon already in their hand will hold the other item in the other hand. A character like Samus is right handed but holds items with her left one because her right hand has an Arm Cannon or a Plasma Gun.

I'm pretty similar in that aspect too. I do most stuff with my left hand, yet when I handle cutlery, I always hold my fork in my left and my knife in my right like a right handed person.

Also I think the reason the majority of smash characters hold onto the stage with their left hand is cause they hold items in their right hand.
