CHANGE OF PLANS: Because I don't want to be a **** and force Shayne to drive around everywhere with me, I'm not picking anyone up until later.
That includes Taki (and Alan I guess). Sorry about these last second changes, but I thought it'd be okay with Shayne. I mean, I'm sure it is. But he spends 4 hours a day in a car as it is.

The latter, however, I know if I go I'll end up staying up all night staring at a bright screen in a dark room and I'll just get a massive headache. Or, if I go to sleep, I'll probably be sleeping on the floor or something and feel even worse in the morning
Nothing against you guys, just not feeling it today.

After playing Falco and only Falco since mid-2007 when I first found competitive Smash, I think it's about time I pick up a secondary or two, and I want to see what you guys think. I've got about a month here at home with no one to Smash with except my brothers (who aren't good at the game, simply because they're not interested in playing "competitively"), so I figure it's a good time to learn a new character.
So far I've been playing Fox seeing as how virtually every Falco main in existence has a good Fox to rely on as well, and because he covers annoying Falco matchups (Puff, Peach) pretty nicely. The problems I'm having so far are as follows: 1) I can't consistently get perfect-distance wavedashes, making shine combos difficult to impossible, 2) After playing Fox, Falco seems incredibly slow and cumbersome in comparison. It's like playing Captain Falcon and then suddenly he turns into Ganondorf. By extension, switching timings and tech between the two characters is difficult--for instance, after playing Fox for a while, I can't waveshine very well with Falco thanks to the different wavedash timings.
Obviously, this and other tech issues can be resolved with more practice, but I'm more worried about Falco feeling slow when I switch back to him than anything. Is this something I'm just going to have to deal with, or will I eventually get used to switching enough that the feeling will disappear?
Anyway, I may also pick up Shiek some time in the future to deal with Marth, or Jiggs for a comedy/Mango option. But that isn't going to be for a while. I mean, I've stuck myself with Falco for over two years straight; it's going to take a while for me to be able to use even one other character semi-competently, let alone two.
Regardless, any opinions/ideas/advice? Should I continue with Fox or is there a better option? I mean, as far as enjoyment goes, I'm having a lot of fun with Fox, but anyone would probably feel novel and refreshing after not playing them for two years.

Fox is never a bad option
I think GnW for sake of orginality and yoshi for sake of manliness
Marth would be awsome...there are like no marths anymore lol
You can learn alot from every character so best i could say is you can never have too many characters...
Just never forget whos your main...your falcos beast too <3

All characters in mid/high/top tier are tourney viable (i mean winning; not just placing high *looks at aaron*)
If that's what you're going for, play one of them. If you're just going for someone you find fun, go through all the characters =)
Like Aaron said you can learn a lot from everyone. When I'm playing I like to switch around my character a lot; I used to think my order of best was Fox > Falco > Peach > others but now I'm pretty sure it's Marth > Fox > Jiggs > others. You never know what you'll find.
Just uhh... don't learn Yoshi or ICs unless you're prepared to dedicate a lot of time to them. And I mean a LOT.

Cobalt, Falco is all you ever need, but if you must diversify, Fox, Sheik and Jiggs are the best objective options.

weird... i always found my fox being slower than my falco, but that's probably cause of the way i play and the fact that i fail at pressuring with fox. i used to have trouble switching between the two as well, but you'll probably get over that with enough experience. imo the best option is to just try out all the characters till you find something you want to make your secondary. doesn't hurt to learn how to play them all as you do learn how to play against them as well.
and wes, your david boreanaz pic is disturbing ...i secretly watched buffy and angel D:

play around and find a character that fits your style. Since you've been playing nothing but falco you should have a pretty good idea of what your style is. For example, i like aggression so i play fox and falcon because their speed can ad hear(alan sp?) to my style.
After that you can pick up characters to help with problem matchups. Like i pick falco against sheiks because i have a really bad defensive game with fox and falcon. Having a falco makes up for that.
my 2 cents
