That’s all in order of “most played” per game. Of course that’s an estimate, these are all my most common characters that I have worked/am working on in their respective games.
Sonic most definitely… though recently I’ve been leaning towards Kirby.
Lucas and Bowser are fun for shenanigans too.
Main: Toon Link
Secondary: Wolf
I replied earlier in the thread with a list, fuck that list. Cause Im bored, in the mood to type something…something about DAT Brawl.
Bowser is ultimately my main and will always be. But sometimes, he just doesn’t cut it. As hyped as I get sitting around, playing, Getting those FI NAL OOTUMIC BOOZAHHHHH!!!'s, and letting loose with dat “ARF ARF!” taunt. He seems to fail me in some reigions. Thus forcing me to go out and see some other characters for some aid.
-Link: Was my main throughout Melee, so I started looking into picking him back up. Its taken some time, but I think I’m finally understanding the new Link and boy, my view may be completely different. Im a bomb man. I like parlor tricks with bombs. And I enjoy having those projectiles that SCREAM “yo, back the fuck off” And that hookshot? Thats money.
-Falco: Surprizingly, even tho I consider my Falco game “scrubbish” I still pull some victories right out of the tail end. Lazer Lock, the Chain throw, and the Reflector. My god. I simply love that shit. And that one thing has encouraged me to actually learn this feathered foul and his match ups.
-Ike: For a while, the Ike hype went over my head. He’s slow, I heard many a say. But he’s powerful. I scoffed everytime. “Hey, he may be. But that lag gives me some FAB action!” Then I actually started to play Ike. I think I found me another character. AAA is too fucking good, Uair has been renamed “SPIN IN LIKE A HELICOPTA!” and yes, I get all kinds of excited with this move, and those B moves. Oh man. Super Armor? Yes please. Plus he fucking fights for his mother fucking friends! Now, how could you simply ignore THAT!?:amazed:
Main: R.O.B.
Secondaries: Lucas, Ness, D3, Bowser, G&W, Zelda, DK
I’m still new (and I didn’t play Melee either, so I’m pretty much totally new)… but thought I’d contribute to the “who’s everyone else playing” thread
Mains:
Pikachu, Pit, Pokemon Trainer
Interested in learning Ice climbers, and Sonic, they’re fun to play… but I’m having a hard time trying to use Ice climbers well.
I’m going to try and make this positive, if anything comes out negative, I don’t mean it that way.
The problem with trying to find a main with you is, you’re being VERY picky. Almost to the point where it is hindering you. First and foremost, you have to find the character you have most fun to play with. For me, that is the character with the most potential. I wake up almost every morning to find a new snake or dk trick. I play someone online, learning one of their styles and adapt it to my game. I’d like to say that I main snake, but that arguably isn’t true. I find dk the most fun to play (he’s too ‘loud’ for you? come on now!) He also really doesn’t play like snake as the majority of his game relies on his ridiculous air game and tech chasing, if anything, he reminds me of a younger, more simian version of melee’s captain falcon ( pour one out for my homie, sorry you had to fall so far from the tier list falcon ).
Seeing as I focus on snake, dk, and falco, those characters…I can honestly say, if you’re not having fun with them, you’re doing it wrong. Why is snake fun? because you put people in ridiculous mind traps. You knock people off the board, setup mines, smash up A forcing them into it, or the mine you set or a conveniently placed C4 you had set earlier. You kill them, then have the balls to walk up to them IN THEIR invicible state and plant a c4 on their face.
dk? throw a naner, just one, don’t let them get the jump on you. Have total control of it. Hold that nana. Don’t throw it, just keep it, watch your opponent shield, walk up to him, diddy hump and slap his face. Do this three times, next time he shields, he’ll try to dodge, wait, throw the nana and rape his face off. Then go for the diddy hump spike, one of the most humiliating and awesome moves to pull off.
Falco? It’s all about being ballsy with him. I spend most of my game with falco OFF the board. side B is my most used move. I don’t laser lock, I don’t laser spam (unless I find myself in a tight spot, or I’m playing a metaknight -_-;;). I chaingrab, I get them off the stage, I follow them off the stage, I get further from the stage then them, then side b to spike and recover. It’s a fun technique and so rewarding when you spike.
Once again, this is opinions clashing, imo, if you play those three characters theres no way you can’t have fun with this game.
Good luck, and it might be too early to find a main!
Completely new to Smash so here’s how I picked my mains…
Main 1: Zelda because I played a mage in WoW.
Main 2: Sheik otherwise Zelda’s down B special would be a waste to me.
Main 3: Zero Suit Samus because she’s the Jam Kuradoberi of this game.
1st: Ganondorf
2nd: Sonic
3rd: Bowser
4th: Donkey Kong
in the very first one on n64, i used mainly donkey kong, as soon as my cousin showed me ganondorf in melee, he was instantly my top and always will be.
I think I said I was being very picky. It would say that most of it is because I’m rather indecisive and rather “open-minded” (hahaha…no), but part of is because the character I probably like playing the most has a problem that I currently find completely insurmountable and quite plainly really fucking stupid.
There is no reason for Luigi to that have that little traction. (For the record, I meant “too little traction”. “Too much traction” would mean that he doesn’t move at all when you smack him, like he’s Metal or something.) I mean, I pretty much get it’s part of the “oily coward” personality that Nintendo has been using him to make him a strawman in the series, but it’s just an absurd exaggeration that pisses me off to no end considering I can’t punish anything since he slides back so damned far.
Outside of that one instance, I’m just trying to be realistic about the problems with people that I’ve actually played so far or have fought against a lot (laser spamming Falco, arrow spamming Pit, Tornado spamming Metaknight, etc.). I already know that I don’t like spammers, but that’s the only thing I’m relatively decisive about.
About Diddy–I initially thought you were talking about Donkey Kong since you kept saying “DK”–and other noisy people, I AM really picky about that (except when it comes to the Pokemon, for some reason, though Pikachu does grate on me a bit) since I’m a very audiovisual person. If Diddy didn’t make sounds at every possible internval, then I could stomach him, but he does, so I really can’t. Same with Yoshi.
As for the whole having fun, that’s pretty much part of the problem. I do have fun–or at least I did until recently–with pretty much all the people I’ve played so far outside of Captain Falcon (who I’ve never liked) and Peach (who I’m trying to give more of a chance, but I doubt it will work out). Ergo, I can’t decide, especially since I still have other people to screw around with.
Finally, as for the whole Falco issue, I’m sorry, but whether he’s spamming lasers or doing those chainthrows that are almost as braindead as Dedede (and aren’t even universal), he’s really boring to me. All the Space Animals are.
I still don’t have a main, but a lot of people say I’m pretty good with R.O.B.
I use: Luigi, Falcon, ZSS, Lucas, Lucario, Pokemon Trainer & of course R.O.B.

…what’s a “main”?[/details]
Pit seems to be my best so far.
Mario or Zelda could be my future mains.
Overall, I don’t have a main yet.
I can’t decide between Diddy and Pit.
All right, I think I have a handle on who I use. This may somewhat contradict my sig. In order:
OLIMAR: I played an aggressive grab/smash game in Melee (when I was using PICHU, for god’s sakes), so after I got over my “omgolimarsux” phase, I tried him out during a 24-hour Brawl party. I wound up with a 7-match win streak until someone else managed to MK me to death. Since then, I’ve picked up on a few mindgames and have tried to mix up my Olimar style a bit. The recovery isn’t as gimpable as people think (Purple Piks knock edgehoggers off. Side-B, then Up-B), and he’s a demigod onstage. And it’s always satisfying to 2- or 3-stock someone who says to you pre-match: “Olimar sucks! Why are you using him?”
DIDDY: Bananas. More bananas. And more bananas. When large amounts of people are complaining that they don’t get to attack, that’s why. He also has very satisfying spikes, and his aerial game is awesome beyond awesome. My aggro-grab game also is pretty interesting with Diddy, especially since his Side-B is a pseudo-grab of sorts. Usually my character in a 4-for-all.
SONIC: YOU’RE TOO SLOOOOWW!!! YOU’RE TOO SLOOOOOWW!!! Goading people into charging you is always fun. I also have a habit of adopting low-tier characters (Again, PICHU). His side- and down-B’s are fun to harass people with, and I like having people complain at me that they have large amounts of damage. Even if I can’t KO them AS safely as, say, Olimar’s U-smash, he’s not all that hard to KO with.
WARIO: High priority, heavy weight, motorcycle, and good KO moves. Next person who bitches about his approach is getting run over by his bike. His aerial game is god-tastic, his motorbike can actually break an arrow-camping Pit setup, and his uair is one of the most fun KO moves. Ever. Also, Super-armor during F-smash, anyone?
Who I use as my #5 varies. Right now, it’s Toon, Trainer, and Captain Falcon.
i’m with Rekano. I typed a list earlier too, but… fuck that list. I might be playing completely new chars soon. The list I’m about to make now may change, too.
chars I play randomly (not mains either because they suck, I can’t find a complete strategy, or I just don’t like them enough): Pokemon Master, Luigi, Link, Toon Link
fascinated with (may plan to main): Pikachu (if I like him), Wolf (if I can make use of him), Dedede
maining: Ganondorf, Lucario, Wario, Jigglypuff, Sonic
every other char that isn’t on this list can fuck off, included the ones I’ve listed before
G&W
MARTH,DIDDY(tie)
FALCO
WARIO
ROB
Kirby,Gannodorf,Yoshi,ZSS. I have a hard time with ZSS so I might drop her =/. Yoshi use to be my 1st guy but lately I’ve been staying away from him.
That’s about the two characters I am playing… I do like Game and Watch for his mind game and the fact that one seems to like since he looks too simple and ugly for some peoples, so that’s always fun to beat them with that kind of character XD (and do the bell ringing taunt ! too bad the sound seems less painful to hear then before haha)
