Am I the only one interested in Inkling? The mechanic could be quite fun but the character seems to move well too.

Inklings is going to be an amazing character. Fast. But you have to get used to recharging your ink.
Gonna be my main unless something funner and fast comes up,.. and who knows how everything'll be, it's pretty early to decide these things lol.

With the way Marth played in Smash 4, I'll probably stick with him in Ultimate. (I'm loving the look of his new dancing blade.)
Ike looks like he's been buffed, so I'll also probably be using him along with Marth.
The changes to Link and Ganondorf's move sets also look pretty sweet.

Ridley, Wolf, King Dedede or Ganon.
Possibly if he is added: Bandana Dee

I'm most likely going back to Kirby considering hes had a few changes. Also I'm really hoping Zelda and Palutena get some changes, if so I will be looking forward to playing them.

Oh and if Bandana Dee makes the cut then yea I'm sold.

Inkling. I've been waiting for them since Smash 4, so I'll probably main them. :ultinkling:

I will still main Peach and am curious about Daisy's feel. I plan on picking at least a 2nd and 3rd this time around (never really did that), and have no clue. I'll be checking out the newest additions first. No way to tell until I play them.

I have decided that I am going to look into maining Zelda most likely after watching videos of her she seems a lot of fun!

I'm most likely picking up wolf again, it depends on whether or not Pac Man feels better than he does in 4 as to if I'm using him again. Beyond that I'm just waiting to see the other newcomers before I commit.

As an Ike player throughout Smash 4 I want to try the new buffed Ike, but I also want to see if Sonic is finally more my playstyle instead of the campy annoyance he was in Brawl & 4.

Third time is the charm right?

Sticking with my :ultmario::ultpit:combo for my mains, while the combination of :ultdoc::ultduckhunt::ultdarkpit::ultsonic::ulttoonlink:as my subs, and :ultinkling::ultlink::ultwolf:as fun characters

I changed my signature to reflect a bit more my mains.. :D

I'm curious what makes people decide to main the characters they want to.

He's not new but considering he was criminally cut from Smash 4 and with all the changes he seems to be getting, :ultwolf: is basically my "new" main.
Even though he'll be a secondary, :ultganondorf: would be the closest to a "true new" main as I've only used him for fun in Melee..

I'm curious what makes people decide to main the characters they want to.
On a general level most people decide based on one or more of these factors:

1) Competitive viability

2) They like how the character plays/fun factor (may not care about the character themselves)

3) They like/love the character for whatever reasons they have.

There may be other reasons but those 3 cover a lot.

As for me, how a character plays/fun factor is the single most important followed closely by how much I like the character.

I love:4mario:&:4drmario: as characters (Mario being my number 1) but they both lost to :4zss: (who I some-what like but not truly like) for my Smash 4 main due to her being the only character I liked using in Smash 4.
Design for me personally (as petty as it might sound) can be a (huge) factor too (:ultganondorf: is a good factor, :ultzelda: is a bad factor) but it's not always a deal breaker if I like the character (from playstyle or the character themselves or both) enough. (I prefer:4zss:'s design over:ultzss: but I'm still going to try out :ultzss: cause I liked using her in Smash 4 and I like her as a character)

Ridley. Waited over 10 years for him, it’d be injustice if I didn’t main him, no matter how good he is.

Robin is my go to, but Zelda looks amazing this time too. And finally Pichu is back <3 As of right now though, I'll probably stick with those 3.
And maybe check out Daisy, Lucina, and Ike.

So many characters.

I'll always main G&W, but I'll have to try out the Melee/Brawl returning fighters and the last wave of DLC from SSB4. Here's to hoping G&W gets buffed.
like that will happen

I feel bad for the people that need to main someone new each game.

My main's been fine, I'm not changing it any time soon.

Never going to change Ike, already is and will always be my main. I'm also very excited for Young Link, going to play him a lot too.

SSB4 mains and secondaries will remain which were....

1. Bowser
2. Wario
3. Link
4. Wii Fit Trainer
5. Mega Man/Fox

New mains and secondaries will hopefully be...
1. Ridley
2. Ganondorf
3. Wolf
4. Snake
5. Daisy because my bro mains Peach and Rosalina and I wanna counter him with Daisy haha (As long as Peaches FS has changed)

I still plan to stick with Wario and Marth, but since I never owned Brawl I am extremely interested in trying out Snake and Wolf finally

Well my signature can give you a good idea of who I'm looking at. I've never been the kind of cat that only mains one character, I've usually got like 7 but generally with a top two

So I guess here those are

Still Mewtwo, but I'm probably play more Leaf. I've been missing playing Squirtle ;-;

I really want to try Ridley and Inkling though, particularly the latter. I'm really curious to see how strong they are, and they look super fun to play!

RIDLEY.

I also try out my past mains to see if any of them are still good: Jiggs (melee), Corrin, Meta Knight, Marth, Toon Link, G&W (Brawl), Wario (Brawl), Snake (Brawl).

Sometimes a change is just nice.

I doubt people are going to stop playing their characters, it's just an opportunity to get good with another one and add it to the rotation.

I will forever be a :ultrob: main but I'm still stoked to get some :ultridley: time.
