I would have gone Robin, but with the Fierce Deity skin for Link, there's absolutely no question.

Marth prolly, sense Lucina is a hidden character and hes been my boy for a while now. Maybe some Robin to see how he is!

Mario because it's a tradition, then Robin, then Villager, and then whoever I feel like.

Probably play as Zelda first, followed by Palutena and Robin. Then I'll more than likely cycle through everyone and play through classic mode with all of the new characters first then check out the old fighters afterwards and hopefully unlock some fighters along the way.

Gotta be Mario like any other game he's in out of respect for the red plumber. Then Peach and everyone else afterwards.

Robin, unless my playthrough of Xenoblade Chronicles causes Shulk to eclipse Robin as my favorite character on the (presumed) starting roster.

I'm going to play as Megaman first. I've been wanting him since 2008, so he's at the top. If not him, without a doubt, Little Mac. I played Smash starting with Melee, then I started to play the N64 version competitively, and ever since playing Brawl, I've wanted to see Little Mac appear.

Pit on Battlefield, to get a feel of the game. Then I'm gonna try all the newcomers, probably in Training mode.

If Lucina were a starter, it would totally be her, because she would be familiar, but also a newcomer.

I want to say Villager, but I might go with Marth, Luigi, or Toon Link just because I am familiar with them.

Definitely Shulk, followed immediately Megaman. Then Zelda/Olimar/Dedede.

Robin, then Mega Man... then the rest of the cast, one by one. :)

It's always been Mario for me. Gotta keep the ol' tradition alive.
After that, I'll probably just, you know, play as the other characters I haven't used.

Robin. For sure.
Then Palutena.
Probably Bowser or Kirby after that.

I already played all the newcomers in the PAX demo besides Greninja.

Probably Mario because it will help me see how the mechanics differ between this and past games. Then probably Sheik, Shulk, or Pac-Man

Robin or Shulk, if they're unlocked.. but it doesn't really matter, because I'll be playing everyone like wild to learn their changes. I'm an M2K type "try to learn everyone" player
