I play a very hyper offensive, and aggressive type style. I enjoy lengthy combos, Juggling, and a good edge guard game. I also love limiting my opponents options, approach, and punish them hard for bad mistakes. You can pick up to four characters. Yes I'm fully aware that DK and Yoshi are mid tiers. However they fit my play style well, and I don't really care too much about tiers because I don't play at a highly competitive level

One thing first, defining your play style as aggressive is a bad thing to do. While you can be a more aggressive player than others and it is a good strategy at times to play aggressive, if you are always aggressive, you won't do well. It is easy to counter an aggressive player. As an ICs player I would just wavedash back, shield often and punish badly spaced aerials while controlling center stage.

Getting that out of the way. I would say Falco, if you are willing to put a lot of time into the character. Lasers can control the pace of neutral and he has great combos. Though because he is a spacie, he can be punished hard.

If you want a less technically demanding character. I would way Sheik, she has a good combo game and great tools. Especially great at edge guarding.

Well I wouldn't say I'm always aggressive when it comes to my play style. I don't just randomly start charging at the opponent. When I say I have an aggressive style of play, I mean't it in the sense that based on what I enjoy when it comes to a smash bros character. Thanks for your help by the way. I was leaning towards either Marth, Falco, or Sheik.

Don't let others make this decision for you, you will regret it.

Just take some time, experiment thoroughly with all of the characters, and see which one suits you best.

mods when will these threads go away

If you're a **** for memes and style like I am go for falco.
The dair is disgusting to be against and Sh laser can create openings

You just perfectly described falco, good combo game along with a great offense and awesome dair. He is very combo centric and is the character for you if you don't mind being a glass canon as he has a bad recovery and can be edge guarded against pretty easily.
