Any secondary topic can be answered by Snake or MK. It depends on what you're looking for in a secondary, someone to cover your bad matchups (in which case, anyone very high), a secondary which plays similar to your main or completely different or what? There is no universal answer to this, point us in the direction of what you're looking for in your secondary.

Using Zelda as a secondary (or maining both together) will halve your amount of bad match ups in the most practical way possible. Do it.
For the like, remaining 6 disadvantages, you might use anyo- *looks at Blistering Speed's post*

Now that you play both together though, a(nother) secondary isn't even necessary. At least in my opinion. It's not like you'll get ***** now anyway.

I consider Zelda and sheik one character.

I go bowser for meta and other situations where I'm horribly out ranged or prioritized. Its worked out well for me.

I use Diddy Kong as a secondary main. If you play aggresive, then you will like diddy.

I am an EXTREMLY agressive Sheik player. And I realy only like agressive characters. Thats mostly why Diddy fits me so well as a second main. I can play him as a Strategic, aggresive, little *******. :)

haha yeah if i were you i think that sheik is hard to play aggressively cuz i usaly get punished if i do.

so i think for you, you should try to just wait and not charge in look for openings and then attack

if you ask me online is good for this even with the lagg because wait for other people to attack each other then run in with an up smash or dash attack or if you can lean it DACUS. you really need to work on that because you will be alot better player, even iwth diddy

I secondary Fox. As long as you avoid the matchups where he gets ***** becuase of his fast falling......he's actually a really good secondary. Everyone else will tell you that he blows though, so don't play him.

Fox has similar weaknesses to Sheik, with the addition of other bad matchups. You can give Zero suit a try if you want a character who plays similar to sheik while still having different matchups, or just go GnW if it gets bad. They both have a pretty good matchup with MK. Snake would be your only real problem then, but counterpick his grenades with needles. CAMP SUM MO', N****
