Master I think I need to fox ditto you..... 56k just pick 3 characters and stick with it.
Endless Nightmares
Smash Master
Luigi
Ice Climbers
Samus
I'm mostly going to use Luigi. Considering that I WD constantly, I like to play aerial and he was my favorite SSB character.

Problem is, those two characteristics alone would also place you as a Marth player. Probably other characters too.
A more in depth look at your playstyle is probably a good idea before committing to an entirely new character.
Such as:
Would you want to play a more technical or a more mindgame oriented character?
Would you be willing to put in more effort to compete with your character than you would have to with other characters? (ex. Learning Fox vs. learning Sheik)
Would you rather deal high damage combos or focus more on chip damage?
Do you want to play aggressively or more defensively/reactionary?
How important is a solid projectile game to you?
How important is edgeguarding to you?
Would you be comfortable having a large part of your game revolve around grabs?
Would you be comfortable having a large part of your game revolve around anticipating the opponent? (ex. tech chasing)
Do you want to have to worry about spacing and avoiding shieldgrabs?
Would you mind putting out extra effort to avoid a character with a strong projectile game? (i.e. Falco, Samus) (For example, Ganondorf has a much harder time dealing with projectiles than, say, Marth.)
And, most importantly, how important is the tier placement of your chosen character?
There are obviously more than that, but this is what I could come up with off the top of my head.

I was about to post that. I'm really just putting too much thought into it, but I do appreciate the help.

Watch out if you pick luigi, he's the char I get the 2nd most practice against

does SDM play luigi..?
Seanson
Smash Ace
no, but down here at college is a smash friend of mine that is the only person i can play against. luckily, he's pretty good (I win about half the time), and he mains luigi
Endless Nightmares
Smash Master
Well I just started playing Luigi yesterday, so I dunno if it's a good Luigi. I'm sure I could get some tips from friendlies though.
I already knew how to use him, I just never put him to good use until now. I've got the basics down and some of his tricks, but I need to dsmash and nair more.
I would really like to learn Falco though.

Yes Falco is undoubtedly the most homo-worthy character ever.

But I need someone who doesn't get ***** by Marth.

Falco blows,but shiek is just as homo worthy, anyone know about platform canceling arials (ex. dropping below then timing it so it cancels right on the platform) is it useful or practical??? SDM, Bluewolf know something

OMG pwnage, I just SWD'd 4 times out of 10 tries.
Samus it is.
Samus it is.
James Sparrow

good luck making practical use of the SWD with only 40% efficiency. and i'm assuming that's hgiher than normal since you got excited about it 
... SWD should not be the basis of your game if you play samus.
... SWD should not be the basis of your game if you play samus. yes it's useful... eighteen spikes got pretty good at platform canceling fair's with doc over and over again. he used that pretty effectively a few times on me.

Unless he wants to be like Phanna.
But 56k, if you're going to be Samus that'll be great. There aren't a lot of Samus players in MN except for that one guy that was at my last tournament. Whatever happen to him anyways, I think he came with Eci4.

No, he is a few years older than me, I am going to Winona State, about 2-2.5 hours southeast of the cities. I'm just a freshman this year. I'll be turning 19 on the Dec 30th gamecrazy tourney. Woohoo!

I dunno, there's a guy in my dorms named Perry who plays an amazing Samus. Maybe that's him. He currently has a huge fro, not sure if that helps.
Also, I just want to know that I am able to SWD, and have a good chance of pulling it off if I want to. I like to learn every aspect of a character. Otherwise I feel like I'm not using them to their full potential. I think it's good to know everything that a character is capable of doing and how it can be done. That knowledge helps me play as them and play against them.

Hey Can i come too? i live in Minneapolis. Or is it a private function? Even though i just joined and it says im a noob or whatever i am pretty good. everyone i played against i beat pretty bad so im looking for a challenge and cant wait till the smashfest and tourament that you guys are having. Just warning you me and my partner can pretty much take on anybody. no joke.
James Sparrow
Smash Master
so next on your list can be playing as fox and falco and learning to jump cancel shines and shine again before leaving the ground over and over again so basically if you touch anyone's shield it's auto-broken.

I've been practicing it with Falco...it's insane. I'm not that fast yet.
But I will be.

This should be funny. Why am I like the only one in history to go to my first tournament and expect to get my *** beat?

Lol that's how I felt too. I was a noob and I knew that there would be people way better than me. I had just started WDing a week before the first biweekly...

It is pretty tough to do them consecutively, I usually use the control stick method. Not really all that useful though, just for a taunt.
James Sparrow
Smash Master
you'll have to show me your 4 in a row.
i've managed 1, using the control stick. if you could do 4 in a row consistantly i'd be really impressed.

O ok, well ok do i call someone if i want to be let in or what? And can i bring my friend?

you dont need to ask you can just show up with your friend.
man, when i came to my first tourney i was afraid of teflon and his 800+ post count. I played yoshii and got WoPed to death. now that was an eye opener.
i really hate to ask, it sounds so dumb, but its just to tempting. have you new guys ever played competitively? I guess a batter question would be, do you think l-canceling is a cheat? (i just kinda assume you can do it)
