Who are your mains and secondaries?

[BKTang']

Main :
I like her playstyle a lot, even the default one with Reflect and Counter (I know Super Speed is amazing but hey we can't use that on For Glory mode). Good combos after D-throw, good kill moves.

Secondaries :
Oh the Monado arts, it's as if you have five characters in one with the stats changes! And the range, the range, it's such a pain!
And Jiggs because aerial juggling + Rest.

Trying to learn :

Main = Character you dedicate the most time to learning and training.

You literally can only have one. By saying you have multiple mains you realistically have none.

 

[Raijinken]

As much as I wanted to call Robin my main, I'm going to stick with Marth for now since he actually has a way to deal with rushdown characters.

Secondaries include Ness, Captain Falcon, Robin, Shulk, and Falco for now.

So you're saying that if I alternate every single fight between three different characters equally, and play for a hypothetical 3000 hours on each, I have no main?

Yep. Because a main is defined as the character you spend the majority of your time with. Even if the time is equal then there is no main.

 

[David Galanos]

Greninja is my number 1 by far. My secondaries don't even compare but it's fox, then Kirby

Welp, time to go remove all my mains from my avatar block, then.

But really. Multi-maining is not unheard of, and being textbooky about the definition won't change that about anyone. I practice multiple characters extensively in case I encounter playstyles that one can't handle (case in point: I main Robin on local, but Marth on wifi, and use Shulk against rushdown characters). If that tells you I have no main, so be it, but flexibility is superior to specialization.

I agree. Thats why I just say I have No main. Because I play many of the characters frequently.

"Main" is defined as "the most important." Technically speaking, it is possible for more than one thing to be the most important. If you have three kids, you wouldn't pick one as the most important and just shove the other two to the side.

If people want to have multiple mains, let them, it isn't hurting anything. There is no need to shove opinions onto others.

Personally, I like to play as the entire roster when I can, I never like to leave anyone out. The only character I never play much is the Wii Fit Trainer, but that's mostly because her moveset is the only one that doesn't work for me at all. The talking doesn't help much either.

To please the competitive blokes, my "main" would probably be Olimar, since I do the best with him statistically.

My overly large list of mains, or to be politically correct, my favorite characters. In no specific order:


Secondaries, which hopefully won't get criticized for being too many...

These also tend to shift around as I end up liking other characters more.​

Special notice to my lost main, Snake. Probably the only character that I "properly" mained.​

They're in my description in order but I've been picking up and again but dropped though.

 

[LordCQ]

Main: Female Robin
Secondaries: Lucina, Link (Skyloft), Shulk, Wii Fit Trainer, Ike (Chrom), Megaman, Palutena (Black) and Mewtwo.

I used to main Pit in Brawl but he's so different this time... and his sound effects do not give me the impression I'm doing damage.

You manied pit in brawl? I commend you for that. I feel he couldn't kill practically at all and just had outstanding survivability.

 

[Murrayy]

Main : Lucina

Secondaries : Pikachu, Jigglypuff and Fox

I want to learn Robin and maybe Peach but I'm waiting to get a gamecube adapter for Peach.

Mains that I drop:

I used to main dedede and Yoshi but Yoshi feels like a free win. And dedede I just stopped playing as.

Mains I wanted to learn before the game but I feel they have been nerf hard:

 

[Pale Tuna]

Main:

Secondary:

Might drop Zelda and use her casually.. Kinda want to pick up a character that has more combo potential since Charizard, Palutena, and Zelda has so few options compared to other characters.

On the side note... I'm really losing my touch with Palutena. I find myself struggling more than I should be after converting to the Wii U version.. Probably gotta practice a bit more.. or maybe the cold weather is getting to me. <.<

[Hartenberg]

My main was since the 64 games, all the way up to Smash 3ds. But I actually do better/have more fun playing as . So I've switched mains to him.

Some secondaries are and . I have a pretty good grasp on their strengths and weaknesses. So I do pretty well with them online. But I'm not nearly as good with them as I am with .

 

[Etc_Guy]

Luma lol

I use to think lumas were nice and adorable but now i hate them for good reasons.

 

[phoenixairs]

I'd like to see a poll for this sort of topic to see which characters are most popular amongst this board. It'd be interesting.
