- ive always loved sonic more than mario growing up i told myself i was gonna main him if he was good or not lucky for me hes really good XD- i love pokemon and love the fact that this pretty pink balloon can beat up oh and that rest though!!! 
- i love her style and the turnips and seems to get stitchfaces/bombs/mr. saturn more than normal so i just been rollin with it 
- Started playing as Samus after my first Metroid game and decided that she would be my main as I love her playstyle and the Metroid series- Previous main from Melee and Brawl. I play Kirby for basically the same reasons I play Samus.- Too much fun not to play and also helped me get into competitive despite the fact that I no longer main/secondary him.- Favorite character from FE Awakening and also very fun to play
- Picked him up in Melee, haven't turned back since. While I'm not a big fan of his playstyle compared to Marth's, he works, oddly. - I just like Ike, to be honest. Been using him online since Smash 3DS Day 1, too. He's become one of my mains since - Little Mac's playstyle fits me. A fast and powerful character that can rack up damage and has no trouble getting kills. - I've used Ness since when I was young. My friends always didn't like fighting my Ness, so sometimes I used him for salt reasons. Eventually, I grew to like him. It helps that I've become a big fan of EarthBound in recent years, too.
Because of my nickname in school, Since I always played with Kirby I decided to pick him up I love the fire emblem series, Each character has there strength and weakness. I took my time to learn each. Learn some new tricks I like to switch up my play style from aggressive to Trolling, These characters are that.
- Pikmin is my Favorite Nintendo series and its lore is just beautifully intriguing... aw hell, everything about pikmin is beautiful and well, ever since I found out about Olimar Being playable in Brawl, I lost my **** with happiness and I just knew that I had to main him. Also, camping with pikmin toss and grabbing is hilarious. - Because Banjo is never happening. And I love to be a ****. 'Nuff said.
Ha. Pretty much the same. Pikmin is my favorite Nintendo franchise. Olimar's playstyle actually incorporates pikmin mechanics pretty well too. It's like playing a mix between Pikmin and Smash Bros.
I always enjoyed Captain Falcon since I started playing Brawl because his hilariously flamboyant personality. I would almost never win with him but I would still try. When Smash 3DS came along I would play as Captain Falcon all day because he was actually good this time. In Brawl I secretly practiced as Jigglypuff for multiple hours at a time so I could humiliate my brother and cousin because they just thought that it was a joke character that didn't really stand much of a chance against the rest of the cast. When Smash Wii U came out I started playing more Jigglypuff than Falcon. I decided that I might take a try at competitive Smash after a few months of playing Smash 4, so I checked out a few matches and saw NAKAT play as Ness a few times and I tried emulating his play style and he just came naturally to me. He is probably the character I'm best at, but I get too many For Glory wins and I win too much against my brother with him that I play as him only if I don't win with Jigglypuff and Captain Falcon because it is too easy and just isn't as much fun.
I picked up Lucario at first because I figured he'd be cool to fight with. I fell in love with his Aura effect as it felt safe to me. I was hyped for Charizard too, but he didn't feel as good to play with at first. I still stuck with him and learned him, and now with the recent buffs he's an absolute monster in my hands. Later on I tried out Kirby and Flaco, and they felt right for me. I could do some amazing things with Kirby, and that kept me going. As with Charizard, I didn't like Falco at first. Recently though, I played a few matches with him just for fun and he seemed to fit my current play style, so I kept learning him. ...As soon as I saw Roy's trailer... I don't know, I kinda have this thing for fire, so I said to my friend "I secretly want to main Roy" because I knew he wasn't as hyped as say, Ryu was. And he turned out to be top tier. I'm actually somewhat sad it happened. Now everyone must think I picked him up 'cause he turned out to be good... But I love the character as a whole, I love how he plays, how fast he is, the combos, the fire... Everything.
I play Jigglypuff in everything out of character loyalty. She has a very fun and unique playstyle that makes it hard to resist playing her, even in game's where she's not so viable. Funny story with Fox, I originally started out playing Mii Brawler and I found his moveset very fun. After a while, I realized he has several similarities to Fox in his moveset, so I started playing Fox to see if I'd like him too, and I did. I eventually ended up dropping Brawler altogether and stuck to maining Fox. I loved Roy's moveset in PM, so of course I'm gonna play Roy in 4.
is cute liked pre and post patch troll Roy fans when I need to win
I like to combo. He's cool I like swords and ****.Has a snake I liked snake in brawl and his down smash is swag bla bla blah. squirtle squadMonkey with a tie Used to play him alot since 64 days but now every1 uses him because he's so good and easy to play. So I got sick of him sadly.
for years but wanted to try something new out come Sm4sh. With more time on my hands I wanted to get more into the competitive side of smash. Tryed playing but long story short it's just going to fly. I'm not great at being aggressive, err at least with the Cap'n.and . Outside of those I'm pretty open to trying out most of the cast.
- I was inspired to main him in Brawl predominantly due to Izaw's gameplay. This character is pretty the only other reason I'd play Brawl every now and then. - Wolf was absent from Sm4sh, and the reason I play Ike is because I love his jab combo. Soon it also extended to the fact that I like the sword's hit effects. He fits my play style, however playing Ike in Brawl is a pain in the ass. His Project M counterpart is godlike. Although I like his "one-hit-that-counts" type in Sm4sh better. - The first video game character I obsessed over, and my main pick in smash before I even played competitively. He is also the 1st character I've observed in competitive Melee with genuine interest. However I like how much more viable he is in PM and Sm4sh. He's also pretty cute.
If you have the DLC, try Roy. He's strong, fast and not hard to use like Pikachu or Ness. He's a very balanced character with good combos. Since you like tactics, try Link or Duck Hunt. Both characters rely on projectiles and out spacing your opponent. For example, link can pull out a bomb and throw it upward, which causes your opponent to try to stay away from the area where the bomb is going to fall. Duck Hunt has explosive cans which you could put on the ground. Similar to Link, this causes your opponent to try to stay away from the can. You could trick your opponent into moving into a certain spot and then punish them. So... yeah. Those are my recommendations.I'm in this awkward place where I just can't commit to any character as of yet. I've play
Any thoughts/recommendations? In other games I've always liked tactics and putting people in situations that throw off their gameplan. The only characters I just can't get into for the life of me are
Another Dedede main! One of us!
He was my first main, I picked him up midway through Brawl when I first started really playing Smash, he has a good projectile, good recovery, a counter, and a side special that's great for zoning.I was pressured into playing Falco by a friend. Needless to say, his combos and legit taunts have kept him on my mains roster for years.Picked him up a few months ago, and besides his powerful attacks, he's King Dedede! What's not to love?Na na na na, can't touch me, na na na na... Teleporting, teleporting, teleporting! I LOVE her teleport, it's the key move to my Zelda strategy, and she's been a key main of mine since I picked her up two months ago.
is everything I could ever hope for in a main. His walls are eternal, and his footsies are decent as well. Rest combos are easy peasy once I get the opportunity, so that in addition to punishes, and he gets a ton of shuteye. is someone I picked up when my friend told me that he was useless and could never win a match against high tier characters, so I play him religiously in order to go above and beyond the call of duty to prove him wrong. I have no idea why I play mewtwo, but he's fun, and when you get the combos flowing, they last half an eternity.
: My main since Brawl. I love the Wario Land and WarioWare games as well as his playstyle. He's really fun to use and his chomp is incredibly useful for eating shields (something that I usually have a problem dealing with). Plus no one really plays as him so most people have trouble dealing with him. Definitely one of the more underrated characters.//: I played these characters the most back in Melee because I loved the Mario series so much when I was younger. I stopped playing as them in Brawl because I focused more on maining other characters (and of course Doc was removed), but I picked them up again and I'm starting to get better with them.: He's just a blast to play with. Every single hit I land with him just feels satisfying and overall he's very fun to use.
Ganondorf wasn't destroyed when he went from
to . He destroyed you 
I like how you referred to Jigglypuff as a "he". I guess I'm not the only one who doesn't see Jigglypuff as a female (In my post I referred to it as "it")
Did you ever choose him in Mario superstrikers??? He was awesome. That was probably one of the most underrated Mario Games of all time!
I miss Wolf...I know that DLC should be 'new' characters, but a small part of me wants him to return.
in patch 1.0.4, I got incredibly frustrated with his lack of follow ups, kill set ups and overall mobility. About 1/3 of my entire playtime was spent playing my friend's over wifi, and as we both got better, the matchup between his main and mine became increasingly frustrating. So I decided to pick up a new character, . was completely neglected and I was doing better with than I ever had before. Play with Pika is so incredibly satisfying. No match-up is overwhelming for the yellow rodent and you know that the tools to win are always available to you. With Pika its as simple as if you out play your opponent consistently, you win. This makes losses way easier to stomach for me, cause when I lose it was because I was out-played and for no other reason. And though I think Pika is top 3 in the game, winning doesn't feel cheap or gimmicky (to me anyways), because every kill is from either a hard read, punish or gimp. You have to work for every win.
/- One of my first games I played as a kid back when I had the NES. I thought I was playing a Star Wars game and thought I was an orange stormtrooper. (I died alot of times and at the end after playing many times I found out that "stormtrooper" is a girl... good times).- One of the bravest swordsmen I even played as a kid in the NES. I never beat it till like 5 years later and learn that his name is Link after playing the first Super Smash Bros game.- I always watched the show but never had the game till 3rd Generation of the Pokemon games and always was looking for Pikachu till I realized he was in the safari in Sapphire.- In Super Smash Bros Melee when I first saw him, I was curious what game he was from and saw he was only in japan. I wish I could had played the fire emblem games when I was a kid.- When I played Starfox, I always love the Arwing and since Falco perfers the air (just like me) I thought we had an awesome connection.
After playing about a hundred hours of
Initially I was just playing pika for fun and against megaman, but in order to play pika with any sort of proficiency you need to master quick attack. So I went off to training mode. Then once I got that down I needed to get my combo game up, so that I can capitalize on his mobility more. More time in training mode. Then I needed to improve my neutral so that I can get combo starters more frequently. So there was more study.
Before I realized it my
has a wonderful kill combo around 120% with most characters. Use his Uthrow/Dthrow + DB when near edge. The throw sends most characters into free fall, making it impossible to air dodge and sends the straight off screen. I love using
