:ultrob: I use him because he is a good robot who's gonna throw a gyro in your face and :GCR::GCB: you off the stage

:ultolimar: I (try) to use him because I like Pikmin and I like Olimar. And I like how salty this guy makes people.

incin: *revenges my telegraphed fsmash*
me: "he won't expect fsmash number four"
God, a friend of mine cannot stand Incineroar sincehe tried to camp me out by spamming Thunder Jolts. Turns out spamming projectiles that move at an easily reactable pace to idk, Revenge them isn't exactly a good idea. He lost his **** when I Revenged the sword toss from Aether and then Revenged the follow-up

Alright I can get into why I play each character, but that would take way too long (and I ain’t doing that after typing that long recommendation post Ramen Tengoku Ramen Tengoku ) so here’s the basic breakdown of who I play:

True Main: :ultridley:
Other Mains::ultbowser::ultwolf:
Secondaries: :ultpalutena::ultbowserjr::ultganondorf::ultpiranha::ultkrool::ultmetaknight::ultpichu:
Others Characters I Play::ultmewtwo::ultrosalina::ultlucario::ultzelda::ultcorrinf::ultdarksamus::ulttoonlink::ultisabelle:

Pac-man is a pretty good character a lot of people sleep on. I'd definitely try him out in Ultimate.

But I'd honestly play Corrin without worrying about tier lists, see how she feels, and then just start playing whomever looks good. Experiment for awhile.
I’d say keep :ultpikachu:for sure. Look into :ultpichu: as well.

:ultvillager: and :ultpacman: seem pretty similar to Smash 4, so I’d keep them as well. :ultisabelle: is also an option, but her kit is worse than Villager’s overall so I’d recommend Villager more.

:ultsonic: is in a weird place this time around. He’s still good, but he’s not as dominant w/ all of the overall Ultimate gameplay changes (imo), still a solid choice.

:ultrosalina: is... a hard one, she’s nowhere near as dominant as in Smash 4. If you’re pretty good w/ managing Luma, she still may be someone to consider keeping.

For :ultcorrinf:, staindgrey staindgrey pretty much explains my view on her as well, so just refer back to that post.

Now for a couple more recommendations:

:ulticeclimbers: might be a good fit for you, especially if you’re used to controlling 2 characters like :ultrosalina:.

:ultpokemontrainer: could also work for you if you’re great at knowing when to play each Pokémon

:ultinkling: might also be good for you if you’re good with managing projectiles like :ultvillager::ultpacman:. Also has a great recovery.

A bit of a weird one, but I’d also look into :ultpiranha: a bit. Just be ready for a bit of lag on the aerials.

For a sword character, :ultcorrinf: is pretty unorthodox, so it’s hard to list another character close to her. I guess if you want a general, balanced swordfighter, look into :ultlucina:.

And now for one biased recommendation:
:ultridley: has decent mobility deals a lot of damage and has some great punish tools, if you use them correctly. He’s a bit high risk, high reward though, so he may/may not fit your style.
Thanks for the suggestions! They're very much appreciated

I'm gonna try looking into :ultpikachu::ultpichu::ultpacman::ultvillager::ultpiranha:and :ultinkling:, this time, and maybe:ultcorrinf:, If she still feels fine for me

Kinda amazed ahow how many top players are nostalgic for Smash 4 as of recent.

Cause Smash 4 had the most hypest sets.

View attachment 204331
What tourney is that from? Thankfully I've mostly seen actual interesting sets so far in most major tournaments. While not perfect, still seems like we're seeing a bigger variety in characters than we did in Sm4sh after 3 months. (From my biased memory, I remember seeing Diddy like 90% of matches)

At this point even the "dude looks like Goku" jokes are devaluated af.

Let’s go to the Earth where Vulcan was destroyed and Spock is with Uhura. I want to feel superior about our timeline.
I don’t think that’s on the tour guide.

We already visited a world overrun with spider wasps.

Next stop: Van Meer’s World. It’s twelve years behind the times. Literally. So events of 12 years ago occur now.

Everyone knows I use :ultcorrinf: (because I've stubbornly tried to make her work for a month) so I'll just list who I want to play now instead.

:ultinkling: - Great aerial movement, amazing ground movement, good spacing, decent smashes, great aerials, overall a good character that I surprisingly don't see nearly as much of as I thought I would when the game launched. Also Splatoon is dope.

:ultzss: - My Brawl main whom I gave up on in For when they totally altered her from a zoning character with decent speed to a scifi Shiek in hooker heels. I miss the Brawl playstyle, but I kind of want to give her another shot.

:ultken: - Some Street Fighter loyalty, as he's been my main or secondary in every SF game I've played. His combos are unorthodox for Smash and I hate trying to use SF inputs on a control stick, but I don't think I've given him enough of a chance before now.

:ultmewtwo: - My exact words when I was, like, 15 were, "If they just made Mewtwo good I'd play him all the time!" Now he's pretty good. And I don't play him. I should correct that, because Mewtwo's the ****ing best legendary pokemon.

:ultike: - I picked him up while frustrated and saw immediate positive results. For someone who's supposed to play like a heavy, he's pretty great at pressure. Ike's not my favorite FE character, but damn did his moveset feel good.

:ultrobinf: - I enjoy playing her. I'm afraid that she has too low of a ceiling and that I get too overwhelmed when playing a speedy character who can essentially ignore my projectiles, but I do have fun playing her.

:ultyounglink: - Classic Link kit, the one I've played since Smash 64. Haven't given him enough time to totally understand how the moveset works in Ultimate, but playing Link has always been like riding a bike for me.

:ultzelda: - Also a character I've played since Brawl, and she's finally better, but like Robin, I feel like I can only do so much with her. I do love the new changes, though, so she'll always be a secondary regardless.

:ultpalutena: - A better Zelda. I don't care for Kid Icarus, and when she was first announced my brother and I jokingly called her "Placenta" because we couldn't remember what her actual name was. But if the moveset's good, I'll give it a try.

:ultisabelle: - Because she's adorable. I have no other reason.
