Unexpected Main?

[SETH3]

I really liked pit but then I unlocked................................. LUCARIO he is an amazing character

 

[Trozz]

I expected to either main Metaknight or Pokemon Trainer.
Lucas for me.

 

[Artc]

I expected a lot characters, sure as hell not Ice Climbers.

There seems to be a wave of unexpected Lucas mains between my friends.

I planned to main Lucario, and I managed to do ok with that, but my unexpected main is Diddy Kong.

I'll always have Pikachu, but Meta Knight seemed to click with me really well.

Funny seeing as how I really disliked him a couple of weeks ago...

 

[CodeytheRhino]

I always mained Link, but TL is soooo much better I have to use him. Oddly enough, I hated YL from Melee. Also, I like Wolf which I didn't see myself doing since I dont like the spacies

 

[YumeMaxx]

I knew from the get-go that I'd main Meta Knight and Dedede.

What really surprised me was that I found myself using ZSS and Lucas a lot. I didn't think they would be so good.

Of course, I still use Meta and D3 more than them, but I'm still training with them.

We'll see who wins me over in the end...

I love DDD and im starting to get into Samus/zamus

I REALLY wanted to main Lucas, mostly because I loved using Ness in SSB64 and Melee, and also because Lucas is my actual name, but I dunno, there's just something I don't like about him.

I thought that I would hate using Ike because I heard of how slow he is, but I'm actually having tons of fun using him, and I just love that fsmash.

 

[omniflash]

i am actually thinking of maining mario...i never thought i would, but for some reason i love the way he moves.
i also didnt expect to like dedede. i thought he was a dumb addition before the game came out. now he is cool as hell. i actually didnt expect to like any heavy characters, but the balance is so good that i have no idea who i really will main. its between 8 characters...i cant decide.

 

[blooagga]

I used to main kirby and I wanted to main metaknight just because he was my favorite character in the nintendo universe but i guess you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

Lucas. Before the release, I was vaguely interested in him, only because he looked better than Ness (who I've never been a fan of). After the release, it took me less than a day to decide that he was my new main - I just love how he plays. Its so different from, and in my opinion much better than, Ness.

Pre-release my expected mains were Marth, Sonic, Pit, and R.O.B. Now, I know I won't ever play Pit and R.O.B. for anything other than ****s and giggles, and Marth and Sonic are among a bunch of other characters I play only secondarily to Lucas (others include Ike, Lucario, and King Dedede).

There may be a similar thread on this, but I think this is a really fun and interesting topic.

I loved Ness in Melee, and expected to main Ness or Lucas, or Diddy Kong.

However, after playing Dedede I can't stop, he's just so funny to use. I also really like how they buffed Donkey Kong, the headbutt really levels the playing field and makes him risky but rewarding.

What are your unexpected mains, and who did you think you would main, that you won't anymore?

God I feel you. I did the EXACT same thing, mained Ness in Melee in preperation for Lucas. Played some Dedede and switched. I play both about equally well, but Dedede is just so much more fun.

I always played as bowser or pokemon trainer but then i unlocked SONIC!

top 4 mains
_______________
1. Sonic
2. Bowser
3. Mr. Game and Watch
4. Toon Link

 

[Steck]

I expected to like TL (he has the moves of Link but he has the speed to do more with them) and G&W. But I did not expect the awesomeness of Snake. Projectiles and bombs are fun. I thought he would be really slow but he actually goes at a good pace (ie he is not Gannondorf, who I thought I would like but he got nerfed)

 

[DMurr]

I didn't think I'd find a main, but I was wrong. The only character from Melee that I can still play as is Mr. Game & Watch. He's probably gonna be my main. I've found that I really like Zero Sui Samus, Snake and Pit, though, too. Which I never expected.

 

[Eddy01741]

Ike was absolutely expected, ever since nintendo revealed him, I longed to play as him, so he's my main. But my unexpected secondary is ZSS, I thought she would be awful, but she's actually awesome (imo).

 

[Ykoahi]

well I heard sonic came out for brawl back in the day and i was like, "wow I hope they don't ruin brawl with 'off- brand' characters". Then when I unlocked him couldn't stop, he is absolutely fun to play :]

I also Tried Ike since people said he was "Roy's Replacement", i hated using Roy, loved Marth though. Never the less, I tried him and Liked him too.

Polar Opposite mains:
Sonic
Ike

 

[MildlyTemperate]

I never thought I'd like R.O.B., but he's my main now.

 

[Ilucamy]

Lucario, yay. I found it odd that I liked the 3rd parties so much..
