should've probably been more specific, but I agree that 5 is way too much. A person should definitely have a main and a secondary (to cover the weaknesses of the main) and can have as many pocket characters that they want (it wouldn't be accurate to call those characters mains though).
Ok, so are you saying that all my characters are pocket characters? If anything, I call my characters co-mains, as they are all meant to take the spot of a main, and are meant to be practically evened out. A team standing side by side, not one character looming over the others.

How's your internet doing mate? I really need to know someone who can answer questions for me as soon as Mewtwo releases :p

Also @Metros are you also from AU?
Yeah, Metros is from AU.

Why I plan on lowering down to 4 mains only, a small group that I can keep evened out. I just need to stop being an indecisive idiot and make a choice already (been stuck on this question since the Wii U version came out). :p
It's alright man. I'm pretty indecisive myself. I would rotate between like 6 characters until I finally decided on Mewtwo. Mewtwo was always in my Melee rotation ever since I was a little, so I'm glad I could settle on a character I used a lot. He was also my used PM character back when I still played it actively~ Thank god for Mewtwo, I might actually stand a chance against my friends who has 1 main...

Yeah, I can't go down to 1 character, unless I'm playing 64, which it's been a long time since I've played that. It's too limiting. I DID go with 2 in Melee, but I want to stick with these 3 for certain (Mewtwo, Meta Knight, and Lucina), but still do want that 4th spot like I had in PM (torn between Rosalina & Luma, Greninja, Lucario, Sonic, and Robin...for those who can't see my sig :p).

Co-mains would work, honestly this boils down to semantics, but if a person is trying to say they main 10 characters, they're using the word incorrectly.

Ah, I must've misunderstood. I thought you were implying that 1 main and secondaries was the only thing that works. I do agree that 5+ IS pushing it a bit much. I even do think 4 is a bit more than most should use, but if you can handle that many, you'll be fine.

In the words of the once mighty Chillindude, "my b" for the misunderstanding. 1 main and secondaries is just the traditional route.
But I agree with what you're saying completely though^-^

I think, as Mewtwo is coming out soon, I'll put the TBD characters on the shelf for now. Stick with Lucina, Meta Knight, and (eventually) Mewtwo. This way I can get back to where I was at skillwise, and work on the others and figure out who I'll choose at a later date.

For the longest time Pit has been my main. Then my list of secondaries grew to be as long as my arm. So glad with Mewtwo I should be able to decide on a main once and for all.

Do you have a character you dislike playing against? (Other than Sonic of course)

At first I had difficulties deciding my 'for sure' mains, (even up to recently, like yesterday, but I always stuck w/ Mac and Gninja.) but I had to narrow it down a bit 'cause it was getting hectic. So now I only main 3 (Mac, Ninja, & soon to be M2) and 2 secondaries / pocket chars. (Ness & Fox)

I started with Lucina, Robin, and Samus, followed by adding Bowser to the mix of my four mains.

And now, Mewtwo.

Nice!!!

I got a list of "easy" checks that should take you no longer than 10 minutes to test and inform us.

I also have some "'medium" checks that might take like 30-45 minutes at most.

All other checks I'll do them myself once I get Mewtwo.

I'd be very grateful if you could help me out with those.

I dislike fighting a decent amount of characters, yes. It mostly depends on how their played/who's playing them though.
Oh, if there was a certain character then I would've tried to pinpoint a character that does somewhat well while still fitting into your playstyle.

I main Charizard and Palutena pretty evenly - Charizard is, incredibly, 'okay' in certain (VERY FEW) matchups, particularly when your opponent has never even SEEN someone playing a Charizard before - though I think Palutena is taking over my time priority-wise. She's just a better character in general, and I love how effortlessly graceful she is while being a complete b*tch.

I'd like to see how I handle Mewtwo in this game. He had so much potential as a character in Melee that was never truly realized, and if he suits my playstyle in Sm4sh, I'd love to add him as a secondary (or even replace one of my mains if he's enjoyable enough).

What characters do I hate fighting? Well, it's not Diddy Kong. It's not Pikachu. It's not Sheik.

It's Game&Watch.
I hate the way he moves. That rugged way of moving just completely throws me off.

I also kind of don't like Rosalina. She's far too difficult to approach.

anyway, the character i just cant play at all is Olimar and just Olimar, his nerf in 4 is so bad, for me he is unplayable.

but i do like his ability to throw Pikmin at the smash ball and the Pikmin will attatch to it.

I hate fighting a friend who mains G&W. All he does is roll. I keep telling him he has to git gud but he's convinced that it's a good strategy as it worked on For Glory. Dsmash is a thing
dodging into down smash isn't too bad of a strategy especially because there is little ending lag, but should not be oversued.

my point of advice is to keep opponents off the ground and around the edge.
