For those of you who played melee and went to Project M or do both, how do you choose your mains? I would imagine that most people have completely separate mains for each smash game but I'm curious to know how melee players handle the transition to Project M.
Like I started off as a Sheik main in melee and made the transition to Project M easy but when going back to Melee I have a really hard time. I'm curious to know what other people's thoughts are on this

I play Falcon sometimes in Project M and he's my main Melee, I was at a fest last night and tried to pick up Melee and that game feels clunky as **** after playing Project M so long.

My main in P:M is Ike and that's because he's versatile and a badass character in general. In Melee I only really enjoyed Ganon and Falcon so I played them.

:jigglypuffmelee: is the only character I can really play in Melee, but she doesn't work for me in PM. Not that she's bad, but because she doesn't feel quite the same to me and I feel like PM opened up so many new characters for me that I'd rather play as them than her.

In Melee the characters I used frequently was Marth, Captain Falcon, Pichu, Mario, Young link and Roy.

In Project M I can use all the characters I used in Melee well but my best is Roy.

All of the characters that I use in Melee, I also use in Project M. Luigi, Pikachu, and Yoshi are my favorites. I like these versions of the Luigi Rocket, because they are controllable (unlike in Brawl).

Fox in Melee, ZSS in Project M.

I play two completely different characters in each game so that when I transition between both I don't get bothered by the little things everyone complains about.

In Melee I was always Falco. Now I am a huuuuge variety of characters including Falco in Project M. :3 Mewtwo and Roy feel sooo much better than in Melee to me.

Melee: :roymelee:, :falcomelee:

Project M: :roypm:, :falcomelee:, :yeahboi:

I became a huge fan of Star Fox when I first got an N64, so I used Fox back then. My favourite Star Fox character was Falco, so I used him in Melee. he also felt more fun to me, like this was what I wanted Fox to be like in Melee. Then I discovered the Fire Emblem series, and gave Roy a shot. I really liked his physics and the fact that he had a sword.

In Melee I played Marth, Captain Falcon, Sheik, Fox, Falco, Dr. Mario, and Ganondorf all on a semi-competent level, with the list going from most competent to least.

I still have the ability to whip out one of those character in PM, but I find myself gravitating more towards Brawl characters, probably because they offer some new fresh stuff. It's not that I necessarily got sick of playing all those Melee characters, but after 12 years I was really looking for something new. So right now I focus on Dedede and Meta Knight. They both feel very fresh and not-Melee to me. There's so much to learn about new characters and so much already known about Melee characters. It's exciting.

In Melee, my main was Roy.
In Project M, it is still Roy + Ike. Because while I was a Fire Emblem fan, my brother used Marth and said he was better than the other FE characters, so I always wanted to use FE characters other than Marth.

Usually I pick through characters I like or match my playstyle. That's how I got to Marth as a primary. :x
