What are the requirements a character must have to be your main?

[Kips]

I have fun but when it comes to picking my main I think it through. Although who says Yoshi-Suicide-Egging isn't fun?

 

[floofy]

#1 some sort of reliable smashs that can end the opponement
#2 has some sort of potential (i don't like playing a char that has no chance of beating pros)
#3 Good range
#4 Decent speed
#5 looks cool

Thats why i play marth

 

[sakuraZaKi]

1. Has a sword
2. Wears a tiara
3. "gay"

 

[Alternate275]

1. Cuz I feel like it >.<
end... D=

 

[Demoyoshi]

-Different Kinds of Recovers
-Ranged Attacks
-Normal Weight
-Annoying Attacks
-Finishing Move.
-Speed
-Wave Dash

A second chanse of Recovery when your secondary jump is gone, so Link Dash Dance to Air Dodge to Chain works awesomely, and if your to far away to recover, Bomb, throw up, Up-b. The second thing is any range at all which fits link very well, and his weight is in a medium, atleast you can DI at a few moves on high percentages. Annoying attack? Nair. Finishing Moves is the best in my opinion thats why i picked Link, i mean Up-B is so great. And it's going to get even bettre in the next game. The sad part about Link is his Speed, but his wavedash is kind of effective even if it doesnt have that great range you want in wavedash but it's really quick.

 

[TheLake]

A sexy kick...thats about it


Ooooh its ma b-day! Go me!

 

[Lefticle]

I have to be able to win with him.

...That's it, really.

 

[Gea]

-Random selects them.

 

[Boxob]

They must be a certified doctor.

 

[Zodiac]

Needs to be able to beat up chuck norris, only Link can accomplish this feat.

 

[TheBert]

I have to feel like playing them at that moment in time.

Or they have to be Captain Falcon, cause he's just that cool.

 

[Maben]

1. Must have a good, fast f-air
2. D-air being decent, especially as a kill move is a plus.

My favorite characters are (in order): Sheik, Luigi, Captain Falcon, Marth

 

[Grandeza]

My main:

-projectile(preferrably one with mid damage and some knockback)
-average-high speeds
-meteor smash
-good recovery

Nice additions:
-Charge up projectile
-good wavedash
-tether recovery


I too main samus.

 

[Kips]

Just a question- are Projectiles a selling point for any of you? After all they afford free damage, more range obviously and a bit of an advantage but does this matter or is play too fast paced for them?

 

[Zodiac]

They must have a fun style,
Projectiles that can cause undo irritation to your opponents and set up for good combos.
A sword.

 

[platnum]

for me:
fast
powerful
good wavedash
good recovery
fast faller



I main roy and ganon.

 

[Fortress | Sveet]

1. they have to be in the game super smash bros. melee for the nintendo gamecube

**** you stole mine!

 

[-spAzn-]

They have to be associated with the Triforce of Wisdom or the Triforce of Courage.
Really though I base my mains off characters that are my favorite in general. Though sometime i'll use them if their fun to use or appeal to me.

 

[Professor Pro]

I have to have to be able to enjoy them but most of all win with them...

 

[Aiko]

They must be:

-able to win on a competitive level
-fast
-able to abuse certain tactics
-good at edgeguarding
-good at comboing

Failing these, they must be fun to play with.

 

[ph00tbag]

Well Samus' smashed missiles work, as well as her D-Air and her Charge Shot. Her B-Air is pretty strong as well.

Oh, they're all fine once your opponent is in the upper percents, but they aren't for gimp kills by any means.

Also, I've almost never seen a super missile kill under 150%

 

[Kips]

Really? Marth can get K.O'd around 100% and the lowest I've had is 90%. D-Air is a spike/meteor smash so it should be able to gimp if you're fast.

 

[Knyaguy]

Mewtwo underneath thier picture.

 

[RevN]

My Opinion for a character to be your MAIN.. it mostly depends on if your comfortable with that character and if you can adjust to that character's moves
