I instantly fell in love with
's moveset of random objects from watching pre-release videos, and fully expected them to be one of my most-played characters.
was another character I expected to love, due to being a nice ranged fighter (and for being flippin'
).
also captured my interest, due to being a neat magic user.
As far as veterans went, I had expected to keep on using
, one of my top 2 characters in all previous Smash games, along with
, who I had recently picked up in Brawl/PM, and was supposed to become the new top-tier.
Then I played the demo, and realized that
and
played...weird. I mean, I don't know what I was expecting, but they didn't really click well with me.
also felt nerfed from Brawl for whatever reason, so I was kinda discouraged from him too. AT this point, I had decided against maining
, at least until the 'Bowser OP next S tier' bull had passed (and because of being nostalgic for old, crappy
).
So I was pretty much left without a main for the first month and a half of playing the game. I turned to
, my 3rd favorite from Brawl, but his nerfed kill potential turned me away from him quickly. I then tried
, who I played a bit of in Brawl and I was happy to see she was viable again. I enjoyed playing as her, but she was WAY too stressful for me. So for the sake of my heart, I dropped her for a less volatile character.
I soon settled into playing
, enjoying taking advantage of bad players who couldn't handle Mechakoopas. But it soon became clear that I wasn't making any real progress playing
, do I switched mains yet again. I decided to give
a shot, because I heard he was actually viable this time around (and that his B-throw is bananas). The fact that EarthBound is probably my all-time favorite game helped matters, and
ended up being a good fit.
But the story doesn't end there. While playing a few random matches with my friend, I decided to give
a shot on a whim. And to my surprise, he clicked with me perfectly. And so he became my main, with
as a close second. I also decided to give
a chance, now that people finally stopped seeing him as OP (I will miss the good ol' headbutt F-Smash, though).
Oh yeah, and sometimes I also play as
