Ya know, even though I don't play Minecraft, if Steve were to get in Smash, I'd be excited. By this point the character is (or is at least well on his way to being) just as iconic as Mario, Cloud, and the others, and I think he would bring a very creative playstyle with him.

And just think, if some other big gaming icon made it in along with him (such as Rayman, Banjo/Kazooie, Bomberman, Simon Belmont, or even Snake), an 8-player Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny for the ages would be possible.

If there was Smash stuff tomorrow, shouldn't there have been an announcement today? Usually Nintendo notifies people of stuff like this 2 or so days in advance.

[up][up][up]I don't think he's really close to Mario/Cloud tier yet; the Creeper is way more iconic than Steve? is. I mean, I totally agree that he would be a really interesting and fun character, but the fact that you almost never see him in-game means that he doesn't have quite the same recognition factor that the mobs do.

I doubt that the Smash presentation is tomorrow, but they might say "hey, this is when it's happening".

A little bit underwhelming, but, eh.

Smash was robbed of having a Japanese schoolgirl in the roster. That and Famicom Detective Club is cool.

So I'm really bad at smash. I lost all but one of my games on FG tonight.

But that's not a bad thing. I have room to improve. I just wish I had someone to tell me where I'm messing up and what to do to improve.

I'm sure I can be really good at this game. I've done really impressive stuff with Pikachu and Toon Link, I just need to learn how to do it consistently.

It was mentioned by the indie guy on a podcast. Don't get any expectations bigger than Minecraft.

Okay, so this may be common knowledge, but I discovered something cool you can do with Greninja's Shifting Shuriken move: if you use the held down varient on an opponent holding onto a ledge, it sucks them in below the stage and they bounce off the bottom.

Would you really call Minecraft indie though?

In fact, would any indie game be considered a HUGE announcement?

Minecraft isn't indie anymore, but it would probably fall under Baker's (the Nindie guy) jurisdiction anyway. And it would definitely be big. Or maybe the Wii U is getting Undertale, who knows. Or maybe they're announcing that Zelda U is now a multi-part series. I'm just spit-balling here, but this is a time where you should keep expectations low. I'm not expecting Smash since they normally just announce the date of the video on twitter.

Enthusiasm is nice, but maybe you should reserve Cloud's 'main' status until you get an opportunity to play him? It is possible he might end up not meshing with your play style, after all.

My main for every smash game is Pikachu (usually with the blue party hat). Love playing as him.

But otherwise, I also play:

  • 64: Link
  • Melee: Capt. Falcon, Mewtwo, Ganon
  • Brawl: Toon Link, Lucario, Capt. Falcon
  • PM: Capt. Falcon, Mewtwo, Link, Ike, Roy, Ganon
  • Wii U/3DS: Toon Link, Capt. Falcon, Mewtwo, Pit, Roy, Ganon

I'm good with a bunch of other characters in 4, but those are the ones I think I'm best with, with Pikachu and Toon Link at the top of the list.

As for other fighting games, I really don't play them that much. Maybe in Persona 4: Arena Ultimax my mains could be considered Yosuke and Rise.

For 64, I was Link, Ness, and Falcon
Melee... I wasn't too big on that, but I was decent with Falcon and Marth.
Brawl... eh. Didn't play much, but I liked Lucas.
In Smash 4, I'm mainly Ike or Ness, decent with Mac, Bowser, and Lucas

I was never really good at using Ness.

Also, I wouldn't list Cloud as a main yet, Water

I don't know if anyone who uses random as much as I do can truly say to have a main. Inasmuch as I have a character I enjoy playing, it's primarily Ness, but among my circle of friends, I'm somehow known for my Mr. Game & Watch and Bowser as well.

For a Smash announcement today... well, they did announce Minecraft is coming to the WiiU earlier this morning. Steve? isn't the most outrageous of possibilities.

In Smash 4 I tend to play ROB, Greninja, WFT, and Ness most often. Though, I'm not too bad with Peach, Robin, and Toon Link either. I try to be somewhat competent with most of the characters.

I can certainly play with all of the characters to an extent, and I love playing as all of them, though only certain ones am I particularly good at.

Like the ones I named for example.

I'm also really good as Charizard, though I don't think to the same extent that I am the other characters.

#84450: Dec 7th 2015 at 8:44:20 AM

Despite my efforts to keep Lucas as my primary main from Brawl, I feel that the likes of Samus and Dedede are my best and 'most used' characters. With that said, I personally find it to be more fun to switch around characters after every match. I don't really go random, though I have a pool of characters I like to play as (with varying results).

In a rough order of frequency of use:

  • Dedede
  • Samus
  • Lucas
  • Villager
  • Wario
  • Charizard
  • G&W
  • Ness
  • Ganondorf
  • Bowser
  • Donkey Kong
  • Duck Hunt
  • Robin
  • R.O.B
  • Dr. Mario
  • Zelda
  • Shulk
  • Little Mac
  • WFT
  • Lemmy

I seem to have a greater preference for low-tier characters, it seems.

(EDIT: Seems we can't have more than one usable folder on a forum page.)
