I played the japanese version and really liked diddy kong and lucario, so i tried them out once the english version came out. I liked how they each had something different, diddy kong with his nanerz and asortment of fast half comboish things. I also liked lucario because he had a very steady way of fighting, but i didnt like that they each had distinct weaknesses. I was just recently messing around with PT and i really love him. He can adapt to each situation, and each pokemon is awesome, so i just like being able to have so many options, thats why i chose to main him, he really has the best aspects of every character "archetype", though its very very vauge in brawl, basically its fast/medium/slow, but that is very vauge and undefined.
