Topic: Super Smash Bros. for Wii U - OT

I guess I should actually answer, though I really haven't played enough with any one character to make that assertion (except for Yoshi, even though I've played over 24 hours. What have I been doing?).

1. Yoshi
2. Robin
3. Kirby
4. Meta Knight
5. Lucina (AKA Marth)
6. Shulk
7. Charizard
8. Greninja
9. Zero Suit Samus
10. Bowser

These were total guesses. I really need to play more with the characters.

1. Robin - Put a lot of time into learning this guy, so now I think he's my best
2. Shulk - My main until Robin happened
3. Mr. Game & Watch - Because he's op; also bacon
4. Bowser Jr. (Ludwig) - Also op, and blowing up the clown car in peoples faces is hilarious.
5. King Dedede - He might be higher on this list but certain playstyles/characters can beat him easily.
6. R.O.B. - op
7. Mega Man - That over-smash is amazing
8. Mii Swordfighter - Would use a ton more if I could use em' online
9. Bowser - Would probably be higher if I played him more. He's op.
Anything past that is just a mesh. Really any character can be really good if you play them enough. I could get practically any character on this list with enough practice. Honorable mentions go to Olimar, Wario, Dr. Mario, Charizard, Link, Pit...

Also, when I say op, I mean there are certain strategies with them that can beat people of same or lesser skill than you with little effort, like Bowser's over-B.

Interesting lists... anyone up to battle me this weekend? Lol

I'm a Jack-of-all-Trades, so I don't really have mains and do well with the majority of characters. I could try a list though. In no particular order...

1. Lucina - Always liked Marth's play style minus the Sword tip mechanic so Lucy's perfect
2. Mario & Dr. Mario - Always been my go-to. If I want more power, I go with the good Doc.
3. Mega Man - Those who say he's a bad fighter just suck at playing as him.
4. Pac-Man - He feels like Mario in terms of jumps and attacks. Playing him felt natural.
5. Shulk - Don't care for the game he's from, he's an alright Smasher though.
6. Pit & Dark Pit - Love Uprising, love these two.
7. DHD - Don't play these guys often but when I do, I normally do them justice and win.
8. Luigi - It's Luigi, I needn't say more, but I should practice him more.
9. Palutena - A little slow but I like her and shall make her work.
10. Bowser Jr. - ...I must say, he's pretty alright.
Honourable Mention to Mii Brawlers & Gunners. I don't like Swordfighters for some reason.

Still in training - Rosalina & Luma, Fox, Zelda and Sonic

Considering Dr. Mario has the spin move on his down-B, I feel like he's a much superior version of regular Mario. Also I noticed the pills have variable % rates.

I would but...secure internet problems.

I like Doctor Mario more than Mario just because of down b really, a move can change everything.

Okay, here are what I consider to be my mains:
1. Dr. Mario: I love him mainly because his inclusion is so ridiculous, it's awesome. Also, I am really good as him, obviously.
2. Luigi: He is basically Mario...but better. He was going to be my main in this game like in Brawl, but then...Dr. Mario happened.
3.Duck Hunt: Making the Duck Hunt Dog likeable has to be Sakurai's greatest achievement.
4. Ludwig: The way the clown car is implemented into the Koopaling's moveset is actually pretty creative. I always choose Ludwig, because he's my favorite.
5. Ness: If you saw my avatar, you should've known he was coming. He takes a bit of skill to use, in my opinion, kind of like Megaman.
6. Mii: I mainly like this because I can put all of my Tomodachi Life islanders into Smash Bros. thanks to this. Also, you can put ANYONE into Smash Bros. with this, such as Mr. Saturn or Expand Dong (yes, I made an Expand Dong Mii. Don't judge!)
7. Pacman: Proof that Sakurai is showing guest characters more respect than their own companies.
8. Captain Falcon: Falcon Punch. Need I say more?
9. Bowser: Finally...FINALLY, I can actually play as Bowser!
10. Robin: I haven't mained him/her yet, but i am planning to, because from what I've played, I want to main him/her.

I do have to say that Bowser improved a ton, I like the way he plays now. I wasn't good with him in Brawl but now I am.

Hmm... I'm definitely in the minority when I say I prefer regular Mario. I'm a jumper, even with Little Mac, I like to jump around to catch my bearings. Dr. Mario, while awesome, is not as flexible in that regard. A lot of times, his Jump Punch lacks and gets me killed.

"If I was Mario, I would've made that..."

Do you use his Side B move to help to recover?

Mario? Yes, very much so.
Dr. Mario? Pointless, as the sheet doesn't stop his momentum like Mario's Cape does. Helpful for fighting back while advancing, recovering not so much.

Yeah I noticed that, maybe they did that because of the change in down B. That's why it's kind of hard for me to debate who is better Doctor Mario or Mario...

Here are my mains so far:

1. Ness
2. Pikachu
3. Marth
4. Mega Man
5. Lucina

I gave up on Fox since Brawl. He was so much better design wise and play wise in Melee and in 64.

1. Kirby - My main since 64. Nice and powerful, agile, and has excellent recovery
2. Ness - My other main since 64. Hits harder than he did in Brawl, and his PK Thunder is the best its ever been.
3. Toon Link - I've always preferred the speed of Toon Link to normal Link. I also use his ALTTP/LA/ALBW costume.
4. Luigi - Luigi's as good as he's ever been. Luigi Cyclone is deadly, and his jump is crazy good.
5. Mega Man - Projectiles everywhere! My favorite newcomer.
6. Dr. Mario - Heavy hitter. The first time I've liked using Mario since Melee.
7. Duck Hunt - The can! Also, his moves are so crazy fun to use.
8. Ludwig - Bowser Jr. has one of the best new movesets, but I still stick to my man, Ludwig. Yes.
9. Little Mac - I'm not much of a ground fighter, but Little Mac has helped my realize how fun it can be to stick to it.
10. Captain Falcon - Finally, the cap is back and the best he's been in a long time.
11. Sonic - Now that he can actually KO, I like him much more than Brawl.
12. Mii Brawler - Why are these guys so strong? My John Reese Mii is one of my favorite characters to use.

So far, I tend to play as these characters the most:

1. Rosalina & Luma
2. Zero Suit Samus
3. Lucina
4. Captain Falcon
5. Pac Man
6. Little Mac

1. Mario - He's a boss in this game. HIS COMBO GAME IS INSANE!
2. Dr. Mario - Heavy hitting, and his black coat alt is AWESOME!
3. Sonic - Still isn't good at KOing. Only good kill moves are back air, and his smash attacks. Up air is a good option too. But anyway, he's better than he was in Brawl, and very fun to use!
4. Captain Falcon - GREAT combo game, AND THE KNEE OF JUSTICE... HOLY S*@$% IT'S SO POWERFUL!! I just wish the sweetspot had a bigger hit box like in Melee...
5. Fox - COMBOS COMBOS COMBS COMBS AND COMBOS!! Better than he was in Brawl, but his shine still SUCKS. Why can't he jump out of it???? T_T
6. Little Mac - He's a monster of a powerhouse, and extremely fun to use!
7. Shulk - I didn't think I would like him, but... WOW! HE'S AMAZING! I'm not very good with him, and I don't really know any good combos for him. But he's still very fun to use!
8. Rosalina & Luma - She's a pretty technical character to use, which I like. She's also really powerful.
9. Duck Hunt - Neutral B, side B, down B, rinse and repeat. Very, very fun character to use.

...
.....

WORST CHARACTERS OF ALL TIME:
1. Palutena - Pathetic awful character with an extremely generic moveset. Extremely overrated, and she's just so awful it's not even funny. Bottom tier you go.
2. Dark Pit - He's better than Mewtwo, but I consider him one of the worst because of such a lazy clone he is. Alph would have been a better clone.
3. Marth & Lucina - They nerfed Marth to s*** in this game. I just don't enjoy using them that much, at least in the 3DS version I don't.

My Top 5:

1) Mr. Game and Watch - I was VERY surprised G&W turned out to be my main. He was never my favorite in Melee and Brawl, but he KILLS in one-on-one battles on 3DS. He's fast, his downward air attack is swift and powerful, and his recovery is strong while still allowing him to attack afterward. I got 30 wins in a row once I started using him, and that's after having pretty much an equal win/loss ratio before.
2) Zero Suit Samus - She was one of my least favorites in Brawl, but they really beefed her up in this game. I love her down special; it makes for a quick dodging move and tends to catch opponents off guard. Unlike Mac, her air game is excellent, and her range is unmatched. She's extremely quick too, and is great at launching opponents.
3) Little Mac - I just love this guy. He's unbelievably fast and his punches send people flying. His side special is a better recovery move than his actual recovery, plus he dodges most projectiles in the process.. But GEEZ his air game is bad. So bad.
4) Captain Falcon - They pretty much fixed all the problems I had with Captain Falcon in Brawl. He's an all around powerhouse, with plenty of speed and the ability to launch people all over the place. He's got a good mix between attacks that are swift (Falcon Kick, any move than involves him running) and attacks that are powerful (Falcon Punch, pretty much any of his smash attacks).
5) Ike - I'm always going to have a soft spot for Ike. He was my main in Brawl and is mostly unchanged in this game. Unfortunately his lack of change also puts him behind the above characters, at least for me. His sword launches people like crazy, and countering is one of the most effective moves he's got. He's sort of slow and lumbering for the most part, but his side B is quick and always catches people off guard.

Don't you dare compare Mewtwo to Dark Pit. Mewtwo was one of the most unique characters in melee, and still has a unique moveset. Dark pit is the worst thing since pichu.

Mewtwo is an overrated character alot of people think's he's an amazing character,don't know why.What's so special about him?Nothing he's in the same boat as every pokemon who got in smash as a playable character nothing new nothing less.

My mains:

1. Greninja - I was so hyped when I found out he was playable, as he was my first (and only) Pokemon starter. After playing as him a bit, I really enjoy playing as him and I think he's a really great fighter too. Spamming his air down move is also fun.

2. Luigi - My main main from Brawl, still just as good as he was. He's just got a good all around move set, and I love it when I nail his up special!

3. Mii Swordsman - I was excited for Miis, but I didn't think I would like them as much as I do! My Mii is a sword fighter with a neon suit and Waluigi hat, and if that wasn't epic enough, his move set is awesome too! The side special can be deadly if I miss my target and fall off the stage, but it makes up for that by being a great recovery as well.

4. Pac-Man - He's just awesome. His move set has everything! His neutral special is pretty cool, and is side special is cool, and his up special is cool, and even his down special is cool- see where I'm going with this? I also think he's really good in Smash Run.

5. R.O.B. - An ex-main from Brawl, but now I've sort of, rediscovered him I guess. He's had some nice little improvements, and his new final smash is much less OP now.

6. Mega Man - I haven't played as him a ton since I got the full game, but I felt pretty good with him in the demo. I really should use him more often. His specials are all good, but it's his standard attacks that I really like. His smash is insane, I also love sliding into opponents and his up air tornado shot.

7. Duck Hunt - Do I really have to explain this one? He's not really someone I would play for a serious match, but he's just a lot of fun to play. ^{and I'm not gonna lie, he's adorable too.}
