that guide is old.... and he had to play chu all the time. IC's have a real tough time if u play safe.

marth vs. puff takes too long for me to kill, i like being able to kill with the dthrow when i do get it.

... only person i dont like playing is either falco or peach
so everyone else use sheik.... but hmm
peach has annoying weight blah blah...
marth good against peach? maybe fox? one of those 2 if not sheik

as for falco the guns just so annoying so if they just shoot alot maybe...
falco if mines is better, fox (if not sheik)

Hazy, that's a funny *** sig. You must get alot of haters.

On topic: I use Fox and Falcon as secondaries. For some reason, my Falcon does real well.

Ness is my Secondary, I love his quirky jumps and he makes mindgames pretty easy for quite a novice player for myself.

If you play sheik there's no reason to secondary lol
i actualy have to agree with this even though i never can find a reason to secondary
when i play pit in brawl and then play a different character for a match and i realise im still in "pit mode" and try to adapt during the match
then when i do adapt im still in lucario mode and i start using angel ring and dash attack alot which are 2 of pits laggiest moves

that is why i dont use a secondary
also pit doenst have any unmanagable matchups anything past 30-70 is unmanagable imo

I went sheik most of the time, and secondary - Samus, believe it or not.

I use fox as my secondary ...
I guess the reason mostly is because their wavedashes seem the most similar.
and I'm a big grab fan.. and fox's grab game is my second favorite..
plus.. I can play my fox in a different manner than my sheik... it helps clear my head a little.

Sheik doesn't need secondaries, much in the same manner that Foxes and Falcos don't need secondaries.

That doesn't, however, stop the Starfurries from congregating and learning one another.

Sheik isn't really different.

I use Sheik and Peach in toruneys. Peach is mainly for Foxes, Falcos, Sheiks (sometimes), and Jiggz. Sheik is mainly for Marths (especially), Falcons (especially), and Low/Bottom Tiers. For everyone else, I use either of Peach or Sheik depending on how I'm feeling.

Sheik/Fox is pretty **** sandwich but I'm mad dumb with fox >_< ...fox beats fox and flaco and sheik beats everyone else...

and I don't know why you guys hate puff. don't dash attack (till they're at like 100) and when you get a grab it's either 30% or a kill :S
