Probably Pac-Man... unless the fact that I played as Mega-Man first at Smash-Fest counts...

Greninja. He's fun as hell. Mega Man is really hard to get used to, but the point is to have him play like his 8-bit counterpart, which he definitely does.

(Double posted by mistake)

I guess I can additionally add that Little Mac can get addictive. He's so strong on the ground he's a character worth working at to get really good with. Just watch that air time... seriously.

I will first play as Meta Knight because he is my Brawl main, and I want to see if he retains his technical moveset from Brawl as well.

I want to try out Lucina, Mega Man, Pac Man, and Shulk. But I'll probably try out Kirby first, since I've mained him in previous Smash games. Though I do intend to also try out most of the veterans this time around before I decide if I still want to stick with Kirby.

Definitely going to play my main Ike. Although I'm going to play some Shulk and Robin immediately afterward.

Probably mario. But before I play as anyone I have to see everyone's alt costumes!

I'll play as Yoshi and explore his physics in the new game, then I'll check out how Villager works.

Id be really down to play Captain Falcon or Falco at first just because they were my mains in the other games but I think Im one of many whos looking to switch their mains to Mega Man or Pac-Man.Really digging Mega Man's bruised banana (brown and yellow) color scheme and eager to see the alternate colors/costumes for Pac-Man since we've not seen any in a Pic of the Day.

I'll be playing Robin first :4robinf:
Though I doubt he/she's gonna be available from the start, so probably Toon Link or Mii.

If the demo in Japan is representative of our starting roster then I'm going to be staring at the character select screen for a solid 5 minutes before I make my choice. I expected a Melee sized starting roster with about 6-7 of those being newcomers. Instead we have a massive starting roster with almost all announced newcomers. I don't know how I will possibly pick from those. Do I start with revamped characters like Bowser and Zero Suit Samus, go for my most hyped up newcomers like Little Mac, Mega Man, or Pac-Man, or go for the characters that fit my play style best like Greninja. Decisions, decisions. But I'm expecting Little Mac or Mega Man to be my first choice as of right now, but Robin and Greninja offer some serious competition.

Sakurai Sold me at E3 2013 when he was talking about Bowser. He will be the first I try, and then Captain Falcon if he is available.

For a while I was thinking Zero Suit Samus, or maybe Luigi if he's really a starter. Now I think I'm going to try out Yoshi first.

Robin most definitely! If he is locked Then I'll use Zelda:D If Robin is unlocked I'll do training for a minute and then head for Smash Run. Or maybe classic. Oh the choices!

Female Robin, then Link, then figure out what I have to do to unlock Lucina and Duck Hunt Dog.

It's such a tough choice between an exciting newcomer or an old standby. If the Japanese demo is indicative of the starting roster, it'll be a toss up between Sonic and Greninja. If those two end up being unlockable, I'll try out the new Link.

Ness! (Assuming he makes the cut.) If not him, then probably Kirby. Then I wanna try out all the new ones. Been playing Smash & using Ness since 1999 :ness64:

Robin, if possible. In fact, Robin will have the honor of being my first actual main.

If Robin is on the starting roster, then I'm gonna go ahead and try him first since I'm really excited about his appearance in this game.
