I'll be giving everyone a shot at least once, but I have a hunch I'll wind up maining :4pit:.

Other mains could be :4sonic:,:4littlemac: and/or :4pacman:.

My signature speaks for itself. ;)

I'll have to see how Dark Pit plays before I main him, if he's just a straight up clone, probably will.

Little Mac for the playstyle, but if someone's very aeriel, probably switch to Marth/Lucina.

I think only 1/4 (if that) of the people who are replying here know what a main is. Including the op. A main is your 1 character that you focus on being best at. At the most you could say you have 1 main with 2 backups (AKA 3 mains). If you think you have more then that, you have NO main. You just play everyone.

I actually agree with this, big time.

My "mains" in my signature are more like characters i'm going to try out the most. If I had to guess, my actual main would probably end up being
if he hasn't been nerfed from his Melee appearence.

I've always laughed at the signatures that feature like 15 mains, that's when it goes a bit too far.

:4yoshi:,:4greninja: and :4villager: are the more likely ones.

Maaaaybe :4kirby:,:4wiifit: or :ness2: but not sure.

These are who I am currently eyeing. I'm not gonna make any promises about who will be my main, since that can change quite a bit with more experience, but these are the current potential candidates, at least.

:4palutena::4zelda::rosalina::4villager::ness2::4wiifit:

Just an aside, I haven't checked myself, but just asking if anyone knows of thread that would work the same way this does that's been active within a month. It seems like it would be a relatively common topic, so there may not be need for another thread. 'Til then though, keep on keeping on! :)

:4shulk: (#1) & :4robinm: (#2) definitely.

- 2 most wanted newcomers (very surprised and happy to see that we actually got BOTH of them)
- Love Xenoblade Chronicles and the Fire Emblem series
- I started up the moveset discussion threads for both of those characters
- I love their depth and they already seem like my type of characters

Out of the other confirmed characters, only interested in seeing how :4bowser:,:4myfriends:, :4palutena:, &:4zss:work for me. I'll be on the lookout for Ganondorf and Falco as well. Don't plan on even using more than 2-3 characters, so I'll see how it goes when it comes to narrowing these others down.

As I always say, I only stay within a certain bubble of characters (based on franchises :p)

But basically, Shulk will be

EDIT - But yeah, your main only refers to like one serious character (potentially 1-3, but the other two are often pocket characters). Funny when the term "main" is used as a substitute for "use" :p)

Either Zelda or ZSS.
Maybe Link if he's good though...
I like the look of Rosalina, too...
and what about Little Mac?

So many options...
Too many options!

Amelia won't let me say
I guess it depends. If I had to choose one right off the start it'd be either :4robinm: or :rosalina:. But I won't really know who I'll main for quite some time after the release.

Characters I intend on playing frequently? Again, quite unsure, but I like the looks of:
:4zss::4zelda::4yoshi::4wiifit::4villager::4shulk::4sheik::rosalina::4robinm::4pit::4peach::4palutena::4marth::4mario::4link::4littlemac::4myfriends::4greninja::4fox::4falcon::4bowser:

I suspect the main I will end up with in a year's time is likely in there somewhere.

I will always main Mario, especially if he's better than he was in Brawl.

Bowser, Ganondorf, and Dedede are all on my side dish list. Dedede was my secondary in Brawl, Ganondorf was my secondary in Project M, and Bowser just seem awesome. Plus Dr. Mario was my secondary in Melee so hmm...
We'll see.

In a non serious fight, I will gladly use the rest of the cast, but otherwise it's Mario with the secondaries.

Main. . .hmmm. . .

Main is like a wishy-washy term now. I'll go with saying Primary, followed by Secondaries then fill-ins.

  • Primary so far = :4lucario: undeniably
  • Secondary = :4yoshi: for these awesome changes / buffs.
  • Fill-ins to play for learning / re-grasp the new of the games = :4falcon::4greninja::4link::4luigi::4marth::4metaknight::4palutena::4shulk::4sonic:

Of the known, tried and true, Mario, the Doc (likely #1), Luigi, and Ness (Lucas, as well, if he makes it in somehow). I'll likely pick up Pikachu as well, and I've got a good long list of newcomers to try (Mii Brawler, Villager, WFT, Greninja, Shulk, Pac-Man, Bowser Jr.).

Primarily :4zss: again with :4robinm: & :4littlemac:, possibly :4charizard: and :4samus: if they are decent. Ill play casually with all the characters tho with random.

Crutch character: :4fox:since 64. He was always the character I could pick up and play without having to relearn or get readjusted to anything.

Fun characters: :4luigi:'s one of my favorite characters and his wackiness is always appreciated.:4yoshi:. What's not to love about an adorable dino? :4sonic:'s great for messing around with people. I remember doing nothing, but running around and doing back throws.

Will try: :4bowser:. Dude, he got an overhaul, why wouldn't anyone play as him? :4pit:. Same as Bowser and I guess, Pittoo as well will be tried. :4shulk:. I don't like him, but that doesn't mean I won't play as him. :4wiifit:,:4robinm:/:4robinf:, :4palutena:, :rosalina:, er... How about everyone else instead of icon spamming?

Mains? I guess (of the confirmed and current icons): :4myfriends:, :4sheik:, :4lucina:, :4samus:/:4zss:, :4link:, and :4greninja:? I tend to play as fast characters if you have noticed. Ike is an exception for some reason. He just clicks probably because he's simple. Link's a character that's part of my childhood, so of course I'll play as him.

I'm going to try and main Rosalina and see if I can't get the hang of her puppet mechanic. It should be really interesting to try out different Luma setups.

I'm really feeling :4shulk:, but I want to give:4megaman: a try and definitely :4pikachu: since he's been my main in every past game.

Y'see, I have this thing where I always main a newcomer in every Smash Bros., so I'm gonna focus on :4robinf: being my main in this one. My first main ever was a FE character so hell, why not main another? He/she also plays out really differently than the others and I like that.

As my second main, I'll be going with :4tlink: because I love him in Brawl and I feel I'll love him even more in Smash 4.

Secondaries: :4robinm:, :4mii:, :4shulk:,:4peach:, and possibly :wolf:.

I definitely will main:
:4shulk:,:4robinf:,:4palutena:,:4zss:,:4greninja:,:4villager:,:4lucina:, Dark Pit

I might main:
everybody else
Sometimes your main is just your favorite character, like Mario, he is my favourite character.
Of course you have to main all, but it takes time.

And maybe Charizard, Duck Hunt Dog, Yoshi, Palutena, Sheik, and ZSS.

Well I plan on continuing to main :4kirby: as I always do, and shall also still be using :4dedede: as one of my many mains.

Provided they haven't changed too much, which seems to be the case for the former, I will likely stick to using :ganondorf: and :rob: as some of my mains as well.

I'm hoping to be able to continue using both :popo: and :wolf: as mains of mine, or at the very least, just :popo:. C'mon, please show them playable!

Of the newcomers though, I intend to try out :4littlemac: whom I think there is a good chance he'll become a main of mine. I'll also be trying out :4wiifit:, :4robinm::4robinf:, and :4pacman:, as they all look like fun additions I might like playing as, we shall see. I shall also also be testing out :4lucario: and :4luigi:, both being characters I like but never quite felt right playing as in Brawl.

I pretty much want to try out almost the whole cast. But if I had to pick a few:

Top 5: :4olimar::4palutena::4megaman::4greninja::4tlink:

Other 5: :4sonic::4samus::4dk::4shulk::4bowser:
