I have ALWAYS mained fox since the very beginning and will continue to do so. Ever since Brawl however, I have taken pride in being able to use any character competitively in ladders on allisbrawl or tourneys. I will continue that trend in the new game. It will take me awhile but I enjoy being versatile. Ofcourse in this new iteration FOX will be my main character to fall back on and now SHULK will OFCOURSE be my first trainee.

Which character are you guys going to main or will you do like I and play with all of them?

Unlike some, I always dabble in the whole cast for expanded knowledge of how they work, but my planned mains are Robin, Megaman, Shulk, Marth, and Captain Falcon.

He also posted literally the exact same thing in the Wii U section.
I'm sorry I'm new to this and already I can see this might just not be too much fun posting on here if instead of conversing, random people gonna be policing. Whatever Ill just post on other people's threads if this gonna be just as bad as allisbrawl.com

ALL OF THE CHARACTERS! Of course ;) But I'll have my mains, but the roaster is better than ever so I'll use that random button a lot!

Extra points for the picture you added :awesome:

I always start by trying everyone. Because each game feels different, so I may not like the same characters, and I may find characters I didn't before, I do like now, and obviously new characters to test out.

After that, it settles and I primarily focus on whoever felt *right* for me.

I wound up playing about 19-20 characters in Brawl consistently, but I did play everyone now and then. As it stands, I'm already excited for like 30 characters in this. Surely, the number will drop as I play them, but still a lot.

I don't think I can really narrow it down.

Maining Rosalina, but my preferred option in local multiplayer is random characters and stages.
I'll also be using Ganondorf, Deedeedee and Pac-man quite often.

Bowser Jr. is my favourite video game character of all time so IF he is in, all of my time and effort goes into him. If he is not a playable character, i'll likely go with Lucario and Palutena.

Gosh, I know exactly what you mean

I posted a thread asking if the costumizable moves will be a competitive thing, and guess what? First comment: This has been discussed so many times

Second comment: Way too many times has this been posted. This thread was not meant to be

Like.... What?

There probably were a lot of threads about it, but I don't visit this forum every single day (I take big breaks), and even though I had posted the same thread like 5 months before that, I still wanted to know what their opinions were now, after all the new info had came in

Toon Link is my main from Brawl and since I really happen to like him I am sticking with him for this game, but my absolute main will be Mega Man. I'm also excited to try Robin, and things I'm on the fence about are really Dark Pit (If he's a clone of Pit or whatever, if he isn't then I might consider him), and Lucina (Just a matter of how different she is from Marth, some of her moves seem to be altered slightly and if that is the case then I might just have her there for fun or something idk).

tl:dr Mega Man, Toon Link, Robin + Dark Pit & Lucina if they're different enough.

Well this is how I start off every smash game:

Unlock characters as soon as possible playing only the new characters when possible.
Once everyone is unlocked start playing from top left doing four stock matches no time limit with 3 random opponents.
Pick mains and practice with them
Play remaining characters only when picked by random or challenged!

Gives me plenty of time per round to figure out what I need to know about the characters, gives plenty of practice and helps me learn other characters and match ups, and it's just fun to play everyone solidly at least once!

In order. Zelda, Ness, and Toon Link are definitely going to be my top 3.

:4lucina::4robinf::4peach::rosalina::4tlink: :ness2::4palutena::4sonic::4zelda::4dk::4villager:will probably be my mains, but I plan to still use almost everyone for fun (probably not Metaknight, and Charizard, though. I don't mesh well with their playstyles...)

Little Mac looks fun as hell, but I hate playing overplayed characters. That's why I could never pick up Fox in Melee or Meta Knight in Brawl. If Mac ends up too popular, I'm going with Bowser Jr. or Olimar. I love the Clown Car concept, and I already love Olimar in Brawl, so it seems right for me.

It's inevitable that I will find an ultimate favorite, but I'll always give everyone a spin at least once until I find them. Maybe mostly to clear Classic/Smash Run/All-Star/whatever with them, but that counts as a spin, doesn't it?

There's so many fighters that are going to be here that I don't think it's possible to ever be fully proficient at all of them at once, not without serious play time.

I'm sure I'll attempt to clear Classic at 9.0 with all of them, though.

Main:
:4zelda:: I have always been a sucker for Zelda in smash. She is such a unique and fun character to play. There is no way to describe the feeling when a lightning kick sends someone flying across the stage. There is a brief pause when it connects and you know the opponent is thinking "Should I even try to DI this? Nope... I am already dead, nothing can save me at this point". Maybe the Captain Falcon players can relate with their knees of justice. It is the only move I can think of that even comes close to the power and satisfaction of Zelda's sweet spotted kicks.

Secondary/Still Considering:
:rosalina::4robinf::4palutena::4shulk:
all of these newcomers have caught my interest. I won't know for sure if I will main any of them until October, but if I am going to pick up a character other than Zelda it will be one of them.

I'll main Ness like I always do, but since all my favorites from Brawl return I'll get to play with Peach, Luigi, Dedede and R.O.B. again. Looking forward to playing Ludwig if the Bowser Jr. alt dealie is real along with Villager and DHD... I guess you can say I'll main like half the roster XD.
Just for fun I asked my baby brother the same question, and he said he wanted to try everyone before he knew who he wanted to play. He's becoming such a responsible young man...:sadeyes:

Well, I'm definitely going to try to use everyone somewhat extensively, but I'm planning to main Ike again.
