I really wanted to like Bowser Jr in a clown car, but the current moveset just feels too clunky and gimmicky for my liking. His moveset doesn't "flow".

Little Mac as well. I wanted a Dudley, I got a character that is strictly a pocket one.

Sonic... Something just feels very awkward about him in Smash 4; It may just be me, but I'm just saying.

:4samus: Is one of my favourite video game characters out there...but her campy playstyle and extreme floatiness makes her a hard character for me to be consistent with...she requires a bit more patience which is something that I lack...at least I have :4zss:
:4falco: was my secondary in melee and Brawl...but his playstyle (once again) requires a bit more patience and he just doesn't click with me anymore...

I still try to practice with them hoping I can get the hang of them but so far, I can't call them my better characters so far...

Charizard... I just can't play him well. I want to so bad but he's soooo slow, and it just annoys me that he is slower than lucario in this game but faster in the actual pokemon games....

:4palutena: Because of her standard special are awful (but with another combination I LOVE her).
:4olimar: I still main him, but I'm not as good as in Brawl due to 3-Pikmin limit and completely different Up-Special.
:4shulk:JUST. TOO. COMPLEX.
:4wiifit:Some of her move aren't simple to use (for me, at least).

Mooger Meng.
His moveset and his jumps just feels a lil' odd.
He's still a secondary to me.

Megaman. I was really excited to play as him since the day he was announced.
Right when I got the game, I found out I am not good with a projectile heavy characters. Megaman's moveset does him justice, It's just not a moveset I can get comfortable with.

It almost makes me question why I want Ray in the game, someone who would be even more projectile heavy than Megaman...

Starbase, where no turtle has gone before.
[Shrugs] In mine opinion, any character is mainable, given enough practise and determination.

Anyhow, I can use Palutena pretty well, but I stopped maining her due to many bad matchups. Palutena is basically a defense based character with few approach options, and as a result she is very hard to use aggressively without taking significant risk. I am by no means an aggressive player, but frankly, there are times when an offensive approach is needed if you don't want to get mauled.

If I can think of one character at the top of mine head whom is really hard for me to use, its definitely Sheik. Despite largely being considered the best character in the game, she doesn't feel natural to me at all.

[EDIT] Just realised mine comments didn't totally relate to the thread. Besides Robin, I really wanted to main Shulk, but in the end he just wasn't for me. Though, I still use him for fun on occasion.
