Link has a lot of raw power in his moves so he can actually fend for himself if the opponent gets too close. Toon Link can't do that so well. But yes, Link's attacks are rather laggy compared to the say, Fox or Falcon.
Well, you don't have to limit yourself to just one character. You can use Yoshi because he's much better than he has even been competitively. To get a hang of a character, try using him in Classic or Training, or watch a few videos of them. That should help.
That sounds like sounds like a good idea. Thanks!Link has a lot of raw power in his moves so he can actually fend for himself if the opponent gets too close. Toon Link can't do that so well. But yes, Link's attacks are rather laggy compared to the say, Fox or Falcon.

Well, if you're not sure, main random until you find that character you like playing. Just a fun little thing to find that one character or more that you actually like. Otherwise, just try who look cool, or from games you like.
It's not much to go on, but I'll try to help the best I can. Based off the way you worded your post, it sounds like you want to play a zoning character. With that in mind here are some characters who you might want to play:
Don't worry about tiers unless you think your character is truly holding back. Try playing them in tournaments, mainly because tier lists aren't finalized yet, and show your characters true potential. If you do want a secondary, Play Luigi if you like him, just at least enjoy who you're playing.
Hmm I played Rob a lot in brawl. Interesting......
Depends on what you mean by complement.
Fireball -> grab works if the opponent reacts with shielding your incoming Fireball. Even though Luigi's ground mobility isn't the greatest, his Fireball complements this by travelling at a speed that let's him run behind it.

, in what way are you getting punished with Pit's recovery? I main Pit and I can't honestly recall ever getting punished for it.

Well, no Smash 4 character specialises in traps like Snake did, but Diddy Kong and ROB do rely on stage control a fair bit. But they don't seem to be among your favourites, so eh.Really hard for me to find a main, I play pretty much half the cast. I'm looking for a character that has the same playing experience as Snake (tactical, placing traps, creative fighting, improvised combo's). But most characters only have a part of that.
What I see as potential candidates for me (most to least favorite):
- Mii Gunner (with explosive customs)
- Rosalina & Luma
- Peach
- Bowser Jr.
- Duck Hunt Duo
- Pacman
Any opinions on this? (Maybe I'll just play multiple characters, which is fun as well
Duck Hunt. Control the stage and make the opponent respect your space. Fill the screen with cans and clay pigeons, pressure them to hell and back and punish them with crazy disjointed smashes.Really hard for me to find a main, I play pretty much half the cast.

Why not have both?
Well let's look at the differences and your current secondaires and mains. DHD and Pac-Man are both good zoning characters that with both combined cover most match ups where zoning is advantageous. D3 is a good heavy character that can cover those matches where it's applicable to use heavies. Doc and Wario are rather similar in their roles although I'd say Doc is more combo oriented and Wario is more read oriented. Doc can take matchups where the opponent has a hard time gimping while wario is extremely difficult to gimp.
Look at your schedule and your commitment: do you believe you can put enough time into Duck Hunt, Doc, and Wario? If you can't, I'd consider trying Wario and Doc out in serious matches (preferably tournaments) and see which one you like best. It's usually during the matches that matter most where many players find characters they connect with.

That sounds exactly like Sheik to me, lol.
I don't think you need to swap playstyles. You seem to like characters who have good aerial presence. I'd recommend giving Wario a try.
Mii Swordsman and Ludwig are widely regarded as low-tier, but I love them; Shulk and Ness both require a lot of understanding and commitment, but they're extremely useful in the right hands.
Captain Falcon. Definitely.
Duck Hunt Dog may be a good one for me. For some reason I like playing him agressively much more than using him for zoning. This still works really well, because I use the B moves for additional pressure.
Two mains and one secondary sounds fine to me.
and because they are just immensely fun to play as, but I want to have more insight into what character I should use as a secondary.
I'm not an expert or anything but Bowser is sort of a reactive character and would be a good secondary to what you have already as he is very different from Villager and Greninja, he'd be a good character to have in your pocket as a surprise.Hello~
I have been playing smash since the Melee days, but I have only began thinking about competitive play in Smash 4. I've just played whatever character I felt like playing, never truly learning any specific character or play style...
My two mains in this game are
I once was told by someone who is pretty good at smash that I have a "very reactive play style" and I didn't truly understand what that meant and I didn't have enough time to ask him... so I have been somewhat knowing my play style, but not knowing how to capitalize with it. That being said, I was jut wondering what type of character someone with a reactive play style would use, or specific ones? Sorry if that makes no sense...
Thanks all!
