I tend to play a lot of WFT and Greninja out of the newcomers, though Robin's probably not far behind.

I applaud the introduction of new mechanics but I gotta be honest, there's defintiely some issues with them- Luna's way too good and Robin's hurt far too much for a little too long from running out of juice for their Smashes and specials.

I sure said that!

I main Random nowadays.

I tend to get a lot less discouraged when playing as a random character than I do as a main. When I get utterly curbstomped after choosing a main, it feels like I've been cut down at my best and can never improve. When I get utterly curbstomped as a random character, it feels like I still have room for doubt.

I don't really find Robin running out of tomes/Levin Swords to be that much of a problem. Catching a discarded tome or sword immediately makes you more threatening. Even if you don't catch it, I've had a discarded sword or tome save me from getting hit a lot of times. The period waiting for it to come back isn't too awful aside from maybe Arcfire.

Only things that really bug me about Robin is everything about Robin's grab and Elwind can only be used twice. I don't think you should limit an average recovery like Elwind. I'd want it to either be used 4 times like with Celica's Gale or just until the tome breaks.

Yeah, discarded Levin Swords are always fun. Probably one of my favorite things about the character.

Still trying. Still failing. In fact, I am sure I have gotten even worse at this game. I can't even beat the AI reliably with who I thought was my main until recently (Mario). If I can't even beat the AI, I don't really have any hope to improve at this game.

Wish I still had the confidence I once had when I bought this game :/

Out of the newcomers I tend to use the Villager, Pac Man, Bowser Jr/Koopalings, and Ryu the most. Most of my other mains are veteran characters.

I play with Robin from time to time, enough to consider him/her one of my secondaries. I have yet to master his/her moveset but he/she is one of my favorite characters in the game.

I'm a full-on Robin main, mostly out of spite.

saaaaaaame
It makes me kinda sad whenever I pick up a random character and consider them fun enough to be a "main," hehe.

Anyways, of the newcomers! Shulk is one of my mains, and I also enjoy playing as Robin, Little Mac, and Wii Fit Trainer a fair deal~

My favorite newcomer is Duck Hunt, though I'm pretty good with Pac-Man and Rosalina for some reason.

My main is Ludwig, and he's the only newcomer I'm any good with.

Here's the ratio of veterans who are mains and newcomers who are mains for me:

VETERANS: Link, Samus, Fox, Luigi, Captain Falcon, Jigglypuff, Bowser, Marth, Falco, Mewtwo, Roy, Wario, Meta Knight, Pit, Lucas, Ike, Sonic. Sometimes I use Lucario, Donkey Kong, Mario, Peach, Kirby, King Dedede and Olimar

NEWCOMERS: Mega Man, Little Mac, Greninja, Lucina, Shulk, Ryu, and Dark Pit. Sometimes I use Pac Man and Duck Hunt

So, I use more veterans than I do newcomers.

AAAAUUUUGGGHHHH!!!!

Character you're best as.

Though for me, it's "characters who I like to use most".

Almost no crossover fighting game has me using only a few fighters.

I only find one or two characters fun to play with in most fighting games.

In Marvel vs Capcom 3 I played Deadpool/Spider-Man/(whoever I feel like adding)

In Tatsunoko vs Capcom I played the two Yattermans

In Street Fighter IV I played Sakura

In Mortal Kombat 9 I played Cyber Sub-Zero and in X I played regular Sub-Zero

Smash 64 and Melee I played Mario

Brawl I played Lucas

Sm4sh I play Greninja

And in the Touhou fighting games I usually play Alice unless she's not available at which point I play Miko or Marisa.

The newcomers I like using the most in Smash 4 are Rosalina and Mega Man. I'd like Lucina more if she wasn't a clone of Marth and Palutena is too slow for me.

So I use more veterans than newcomers, too.

In Melee I played Dr. Mario and Bowser.

In Brawl I played Lucas, Wario, and Bowser.

In Sm4sh I play Bowser, Bowser Jr., Wario, Donkey Kong, Ganondorf, Kirby, King Dedede, Little Mac, Falco, Pikachu, Charizard, Greninja, Duck Hunt, Captain Falcon, Dr. Mario, Pac-Man, Mega Man, Sonic, Mewtwo, Lucas, Roy, and Ryu. I don't want to expand any further than all other DLC fighters and maybe Shulk.

@Key: Towards the game developers. You wanna make him inexplicably slow and gimp his attacks with the stupid (yet pleasantly accurate) durability mechanic? Well fuck you, I'm gonna play him till I'm great with him and to hell with your tiers.

I think I have three reliable mains for each game.

SSB 64: Samus, Donkey Kong, Luigi

SSBM: Luigi, Fox, Roy

SSBB: King Dedede, Wario, Mr. Game & Watch

SSB 4: Luigi, Mr. Game & Watch, Little Mac (don't judge me)

Aside from those, Duck Hunt is a character I've been having a lot of fun with lately. He's just so good at edgeguarding.

That said, his close range game is a little difficult to get the hang of. Does anyone know of any decent Duck Hunt character guides?

So, just now I fought a Ness player on Corneria who did something I've never seen or heard of. It was a team match, and as the Great Fox fired its main cannon, Ness jumped into its path and used PK Magnet. Doing this somehow killed me and my partner.
