First off, let me thank everyone who responded. Your comments were all very constructive and helpful. I am in a predicament. I mained Zelda in melee, and to this day Zelda is still my strongest character. Although it seems pretty clear that I should main Zelda, I guess this is just a prejudice of mine but I really dislike the idea of playing as a high tier character. Zelda lost her appeal to me when I noticed everybody else was using her. I understand that there is no official tier list at the moment, but from what I have heard Zelda will most likely be placed in high tier. So this is basically it: I main Zelda and maybe win more matches but I play as a character I don't exactly like. Or: I main Zero Suit Samus. It will take me a while to reach the skill level I have with Zelda, but I feel more satisfied playing with her.
Sorry guys =S, I didn't mean to drag a personal conflict into the conversation, but you guys seem like informed and helpful people. Thanks for all the help though.
