Speaking from a With Anyone vantage:

I don't see a great deal of Ganondorf, although I feel he is second only to Falcon in "ditto potential," possibly tied with Ike.
I'd have mentioned Mario until recently because I've been seeing more of him, oddly.
Pokemon Trainer is pretty rare. Olimar and ZSS aren't so common either.
Diddy and Donkey Kong and Yoshi are rare, maybe because they're sort of obligatory rank-and-file characters that aren't particularly exciting.

I could tell you that but then I'f have to...ummmm
I play as those characters regularly, exluded olimar and ZSS, I like normal suit, does better in free for alls and has a meteor smash. I met this awesome pokemon trainer yesterday. He was impossible, except with charizard, even then he was difficult. I could only nail him with projectiles and he mastered grabbing. He deserved respect.

I play as the pokemon trainer from time to time.

Captain Falcon. (With Anyone) I only see him on my 2nd match when I use falcon on the 1st match and start sandbagging.

Ha, I see at least one Ike, usually more every couple of matches. Half of the suck the rest are pretty good or really good, normally pretty good. Here pits are very rare, king DDDs, warios and bowsers. Links as well, I normally see toon links.

And that's my experience with wifi random. A bunch of fanboys spamming with the common characters, and some strong players with the more uncommon ones.

For me there are certain characters that are more fun to use in FFAs than 1v1s. I use G-dorf more than anyone else in ffas, mainly b/c you have a better chance of KOing more than 1 person with just a simple smash. They are hard to find in ffas though, and most of them I come across, suck.

It's weird b/c alot of the so-called "high tier" characters aren't used much. ICs can't do their CG efficiently; same for DDD; Snake is boring to use in ffas b/c all you do is lay grenades and spam rolls. I'm glad MK isn't used much, simply b/c he's so f***ing annoying. But I agree with most of the lists provided by others.

Heh, I pull MK every so often just to screw around with the noobish mind. Lol it's so funny when all the Ikes, Kirbys, Sonics, and Links get royally f***ed up by a little ball with a sword.

That's pretty much all there is with the addition of TL, Kirby, Pika, and Lucario. I don't play there often, but it's pretty funny to wreck those kiddies with some sparkles every once and a while. :zelda:

I use Ike for pretty much the same reason I use ganondorf lol However I am anemic in LAGGY 1v1s with those two characters.

It's weird b/c I expected to see alot of Marios since NSMBWii came out, but I guess they went away lol

no wait, put mario in super rare.

It's pretty easy to figure out who you would see in BB. If the character has spammable moves (like Lucas) a good recovery ( like Lucas) and strong smashes (like Lucas) you'll see them a lot. Mario has none of those at the casual level. lol, im not against lucas or anything, but really, he is the noob character of BB.

Why would anyone use Link?
His recovery and general lag absolutely stinks. :p

The most used characters I've seen are Ike, Marth, Pikachu, Falco, and G&W.

Needs more Falcon. Link gets affected the same like the rest of characters in lag, so if you don't mind his recovery, might as well use him if someone wants to.

This seems pretty accurate. From what I've seen, bring Peach and Zelda way up (popular characters for taunt parties) and move Lucario and Toon Link a bit down.

I don't find too many other Poke Trainers out there. Ice Climbers and Olimar don't get too much love either.
