So hard to pick! I chose Greninja when I played the demo, so I'll play as Bowser first when it releases!

I really wanna know how my boy Ness feels in Smash 4, so if at all possible it'll be him. If not, then either Dedede or Charizard.

I have to ask. Why is anyone excited about Lucina? Unless I've misunderstood something, she is just Marth with different power balance on her sword.
Because she's an incredibly popular character from her home series, and Marth has been really nerfed. Almost as bad as the Capt. in Brawl. Also, :4lucina: unless she's an unlockable, then either :4pikachu:, :4bowser:, or :4charizard:

If Marth has been nerfed so he's really bad wouldn't Lucina be in the same position?

I'm not sure. If I'd have the game right now I'd try out Diddy Kong first, but since I'll already have seen a lot of gameplay when I finally get my hands on the game I'd know most stuff already, so I don't really know who I'll want to try first then.

I played the 3DS demo quite a bit, so I'll likely pick someone who wasn't in that roster. Hopefully Ness, but if not then regular Link 'cause that's who I always play as first.

Olimar i guess since Ness probably wont be unlocked yet
Villager will be the first newbie i play probably (depends on who else is shown, if the leak is right DHD and Chorus men are definitely on my must play list)

Amelia won't let me say
I think I have replied to another version of this thread previously, but I'll state it again nonetheless.

I tend to play characters systematically, starting with whoever is in the top-left-hand corner, and working my way through the columns and rows until I have played every character at least once.

I'll probably start the game as Mario, and then try out other characters to decide who's going to be my Smash 3DS / Wii U main(s).

If I'm in a nostalgic mood: Samus. She was my main in 64. If I follow my plan, I'll start with the most unappealing character and work my way up the rankings, so I'll probably start with Yoshi.

Probably Mario to start off with or the starter newcomers. If the leak is true i want to get Doctor Mario as quickly as possible

I'll play Pac Man first if he's a starter. If not then I'll probably play Greninja.

Um, depends who's in the starting roster. Shulk or Bowser Jr. if they're starting characters. If not, Greninja, Robin, Lucina, Rosalina, and Villager are other options.

Classic with Mario. Hands down, now. That's what I did when I got smash 64. I can't do anything else, man. It would just feel too wrong.

After I've finished classic with Mario, that's when I'll feel like the new chapter of Smash has begun.

If :4marth: is locked, then the first fighter I'm picking up is Zeldo!

On a side-note, I hope characters can be unlocked through online matches... I have no irl friends to play with and I don't want to have to fight CPUs all day to unlock my favorite fighters.
