Who should I Main?

[kingdark519]

I’ve been having a lot of troubles picking a main, so, I picked my favorites! And I want you guys to help me decide!

If you like playing fundamentally:
Marth, Mario, Luigi

If you like to play keep-away:
Ness, Lucas, Villager, Young/Toon Link

If you want to specialize in good offense:
Captain Falcon, Ganondorf, Falco

Otherwise, just pick up Dedede and discover how wrong you’ve been playing the series your entire life.

Lol, I can’t stand Dedede XD

Failed to convert yet another one. Oh well.

If I were to give my honest opinion, I’d go with Lucina over Marth. Marth’s great at spacing with the tipper business, but that’s only if you’re good at it too. That’s why Lucina’s such a fundamentally great beginner’s character, since you won’t have to worry about sourspots hindering your gameplay 71% of the time.

Ok, thanks, I’ll take that into consideration.

Out of those options I can't help you because

Maybe if you said you prefer characters with a top-of-the-line aerial game...

I use to main but he got boring after a while.

You have no idea how much that "b-word" hurt me...

 

[kingdark519]

What? You mean b-b-Breadsticks?! Would you like some?

 

[Zinith]

No. It's okay, it's only a game. Calling my boi "boring" does actually hurt...

In all seriousness, if you said you used to main Yoshi but doesn't anymore, than none of the fighters you listed are anywhere remotely like him. If you had said Wario or Zero Suit Samus, then maybe...

D: I’m sorry I hurt your feelings, please accept my apology in the form of these delicious breadsticks!

I agree with Lucina over Marth, but I think saying she's a "fundamentally great beginner’s character" is over simplifying it and not really true. She's just a much more consistent character overall, because for Marth his strings are heavily dependent on hitting sour spots or tippers and at certain percents. While yes, you might be able to say that makes him more "advanced" I would argue that it just makes him worse, because even if you're a 2000 IQ player with lightning fast reflexes there are still going to be times where your opponent's options combined with input lag will make the correct spacing decision un-reactable and basically making it a guess. The just better situation to be in is playing Lucina where your strings are going to require more consistent spacing. However, if you're outclassed you can consider the switch to Marth (or Chrom) where you're going to be less concerned with getting good combo strings and benefitting more from a lucky tipper kill at low percent.

Thank you for your input... but i honestly don’t care for Lucina at all, her design is stupid, just being a Marth clone, both in smash, and in her game, makes me not agree with her inclusion, and i would hope she would be absent from Smash 6, but that’s just my opinion XD

No worries, just figured I'd put that reminder out there. Picking a character to play because you like them is always a good option!

Don’t main Ness if you like to play keepaway. The only way to play him successfully is to play him as an aggressive rushdown character with mixups. He is not a zoner or a defensive character in anyway

That said Ness is a great choice in this game. He’s a legit viable character with a unique moveset, a plethora of kill moves, movement options, combos, kill confirms, and freestyle combos and he’s super fun to play

Yeah he can play defense but it’s not what he wants to be doing. He can’t zone compared to the actual zoning characters (he can take some of their options away with psi magnet though). His main goal is using his high priority disjointed aerials to get in and get your opponent off the stage and then start juggling them with PK Thunder. His grab game is also amazing with a combo throw and a kill throw. PSI Magnet is also really interesting this game because you can use it as a movement option, momentum stopper, combo extender, and even as a psuedo-shine for get off me spacing

I recommend him he’s just different than most characters and takes a while to get used to at a high level but once you’ve got him down you feel like you can do whatever you want with him. I would definitely give him a try. If you decide to pick him up Jtails has a good guide on YouTube and the Ness forum has a lot of info

Thank you, I’ll look into that!

I say main Lucas but only because of personal bias.

What do you mean by “Personal bias”?

 

[Cracke]

If you want to learn basic Smash fundamentals I'd say Mario/Luigi and a pocket sword character.

dude, look at my mains in each smash game I played.
