This is just meant to be a general discussion topic, so no flamezplzkthx
Seriously, though. I'm interested if anyone is in the same boat as me, and I think it's a good topic for discussion anyway.
Well, in 64 I mained Mario. Granted, back then I was pretty young and not that good, but I loved playing as Mario. Headbutts for the win, man.
Melee, I switched to the Doc. He was a really fun character to me, and I liked surprising people. Before match: "You play as Doc? LOL" after match: "wtf i lost." His playstyle was, to me, unique, and a lot of fun. You had to play up to his strengths and try to avoid his weaknesses, and I was always extra-aware of my surroundings when I played as him.
Then...in Brawl, they took away my favorite character! I had grown to love the Doc, so much so that I lost all interest in playing as Mario. So...who now? I was at a loss.
...Until they announced a character from one of my favorite new game series. Captain Olimar? No friggin' way! I love Pikmin! I'm gonna have to investigate this, man.
And investigate I did. I found out Olimar was actually a decent character, and his playstyle, in terms of being unique, was second to none. I noticed it would actually take skill to master him, much like Doc. He would surprise my opponents even more than the Doc did! I have had random people come up to me at school and ask, "are you seriously good with Pikmin dude?" to which I respond, "Money match?"
So, here I sit, in front of my TV, rockin' the house with the tiny, tiny captain.
Plus his down-taunt is awesome.
