lol. I hope you aren't serious about me being "inspiration" for you to switch out. If you guys haven't noticed the pattern, I mostly hate on Falcon immediately following the Kirby hate that's always around. I kind of started doing it to counter the Kirby hate. Because I thought it was silly that Kirby's always hated on for being easy mode, yet Falcon gets all sorts of love and he is just as face-roll easy, if not more. Also I have hipster tendencies and Falcon is one of the two characters everyone plays, so that's a factor too.
I don't really actually hate any character. I play everyone for a reason. I greatly enjoy Falcon myself - he might be my 3rd favorite character to play, or top 5 at least. I don't think people should be discouraged from playing who they want to (like the stigma on Kirby that exists, resulting in friggin' nobody playing him at all).
I sincerely apologize if I came off the wrong way. I never really intended my Falcon hate to be serious.
And anyways Pikachu isn't necessarily a better choice even if he's a better character. Falcon may better suit you personally. But I'm sure you already know that, so I guess it's your call.
