MK. He's easy to pick up and owns. + he's fun. G&W is cool too.

Pikachu is awesome. I use him for snake...

Otherwise I just use Lucas for everyone but G&W and good marths. MK...

MK isn't getting banned. Use MK and Snake. They're awesome.

Not mk. bad idea and waste of time. I use pikachu and pit.
MK is a great idea. He counters both Marth and G&W. I also use pikachu but he is not the best choice for secondary by any means.

Waste of time? Picking up MK is easier than picking up any other character. All you need to know are the G&W and Marth matchups. MK is by far the most efficient time-wise of any possible secondary. If he gets banned. Whatever, again, not much lost time.

I dont think it would take much time to get at least decent with MK.

G&W. I'd take a Marth over him any day. DK is really tough too, maybe tougher than Marth.

More important is that there are a lot of G&Ws. A lot. Legion.

Do I have a real secondary? I don't think so. I can fake it with Game & Watch and R.O.B. though. Dedede, Ness, Olimar, and Lucario are on my list of characters to get better with, in no particular order.

Actually, Lucas is one of my secondaries...one of the best ones, to say the least, so technically I don't know what would be a good secondary for you (some people has listed a few good ones after seeing past posts). Anyway yeah I use Lucas better than Ness...

Honestly, I have a harder time with marth. And I live in the G&W infested MW.
Maybe that's why you fare better against G&W: experience.

Anyway on a side note, I've been looking at a few characters to use for counterpicks if MK is banned.

Snake for Marth and G&W
Jiggs for DK (whatever Jiggs is fun as h*** and probably my favorite character after Lucas)

Yes. Almost completely right. Vindication!

Don't bother with Snake, its easier to pick up MK and he handles every matchup that's bad for Lucas (well, he handles every matchup in general :p).
