You should try all of them and decide for yourself...

Falco is essential and he's one of the harder characters to handle, so learn him first, and most everything else will be a piece of cake to play.

For the love of god pick up squirtle, ALMOST NO ONE PLAYS HIM CORRECTLY, dettadeus outlines all his incredibly cool advance tech on this thread that most people either don't know about or consider too hard to pull of and don't use. He is an incredibly versatile and fast character (maybe the fastest character on the ground in the game with his pivot-canceled smashes) and no one plays him that way. Shell-slinging (canceling a pivot with a jump giving you a crazy fast forward vault) and then nair is an epic edge guard!

yeah, that was kind of the point of my post. he sucks because no one uses his (admittedly really tricky) advance tech. Everyone just uses over-special to scoot around the stage and assuming they don't get grabbed or smashed in the face they can follow up with fair, and occasionally they whip out bubble, and sometimes they even land a grab. That's NOT how to effectively play squirtle.

He has an excellent wavedash, the coolest grab advanced tech in the game, dtilt can be crouch canceled but if you are coming out of a pivot-canceled f-smash you can poke with it then slide to safety, bubble can be teched but is still a great edge guard, dair and nair are incredibly good and underused (shellsling to nair is one of the most versatile edgeguard techniques out there due to range and armor frames). People think his water gun sucks but you are supposed to use it to gimp (rarely) or more often to full pivot in the air.

You can pivot cancel all smashes (like an incredibly powerful dacus but for all 3 smashes) which for F-smash lets him slide incredibly fast all the way across any length stage and whip out armor frames whenever he needs, for U-smash he can punish falling by speeding under you when you don't expect it (U-smash also has great vertical range so it's better than other character's dacus), and D-smash can gimp with opponents coming to grab the ledge (it can completely deny lucario's attempts to come up from below) or to brutalize fast fallers (spacies).

Squirtle can put on his glasses by hitting B when he lands the backflip on his up-taunt, they break when you get hit. But a good squirtle player can use his AT to speed around the stage so blisteringly fast that they should rarely break.

check out this thread and give squirtle a chance with some time in the lab.
