MK in 4-Player?

[Antoshi]

I decided to try and pick up MK after watching some insane videos with him, but I have to wonder: is he good at all in 4P? I mainly play over Basic Brawl in Wi-Fi, and that's almost always 4P, and I'm noticing I'm having a fairly hard time scoring kills with him. Is there a different type of strategy for him in 4P or is he simply not cut out for it?

In FFA's, I generally use a heavy character. I'm fairly decent with my two mains (G&W and Pika) in one on ones and I can hold my own, but in FFA's I get destroyed, even by people worse than me. MK is the 7th (?) lightest character in the game, so he dies fairly easily. As for scoring kills, Dsmash and edgeguard/shuttle loop. If everyone is all bunched up, Dsmash/Shuttle Loop to clear them out. Again, if you want to win, you're better off with a heavier character (unless you are really good with MK).

Really, FFAs are Won More with Falcon Punch Spams and the like than Quick attacks and good spacing. Captain Falcon, Ganon, Ike... MK just doesnt work out....
Although, Marth works well too as Ive learned, hes not heavy but his Power and Reach do help.

I Play MK in all matches i have no problem.. wining matches... but 4P matches are bad for MK as bad as FOX (SSBM) i usually play quick qith F-airs Fastfalled F-tilts Mach Tornado and lots of Shuttle Loops.

I do decently with MK in FFA matches, but you can't play anywhere near as aggressive as usual. You have to observe, get in cheap shots and go after isolated opponents. If you just jump into the fray (Other than to tornado spam ) you will get knocked around easily. I've actually gotten too aggressive and gotten comboed between two characters right into an Ike smash to get killed at 50%, lol.
