I choose Cloud because I'm bad at reading, spacing, adapting, reaction and other fundamentals of Smash 4 so I needed a character that didn't require alot of work to be good at. It's not like I'm an nerd that can waste my time playing video games.
Wyatt Cook
random button is my main
granted my main would be a little better if a 3rd of Smash 4's cast weren't such boring wet napkins
here's hoping meaningful changes come to characters like palutena/kirby/zelda/lucario/sonic in smash 5
Chase Fisher
I chose Marth because I'm bad at reading, spacing, adapting, reaction and other fundamentals of Smash 4 so I needed a character that didn't require alot of work to be good at. It's not like I'm an nerd that can waste my time playing video games.
Ryder Peterson
I just like Luigi. That is.
Dylan Campbell
ROB
I don't like getting hit. I like playing ranged characters in close quarters combat type games because it pisses off the other player. All of ROB's specials combo with each other nicely. Awesome air game even if he's slow and clunky.
Leo Jenkins
Mr.Game and Watch Until I realized how shit and unbalanced this game is. I lost all interest when I truly discovered how Smash has the worst gaming community I have ever witnessed.
Camden Diaz
Tell us of your woe.
What made you realize how unbalanced this game is?
Logan Scott
Ness/Lucas I lovecthe mother series abd they're not shit for once. That's about it
Kevin Jackson
I chose Link because Zelda was and is still my favorite video game franchise.
Liam Brown
Samus because I'm an autistic waifufag
Andrew Long
I assume you're trolling.
Isaiah Nelson
Despite having fun with Game and Watch, he is clearly a lacking character. He's in a similar situation with Wii Fit in that they're fast but have pathetic range. It doesn't help that he's extremely light. My issue is also that I can't completely stay still. I know GW is a bait and strike character, but I hate assholes who just stand still during a match. So I go in and usually get punished. Also fuck taunters. There should just be a way to disable this online.
Ryder Green
Only waifu virgins use Samus.
Powersuit Samus in particular, because "muh waifu is pure".
Jackson Garcia
I chose Ganondorf because I like LoZ and when I was trying every character and he stood out as the most fun to play as
Hunter Jackson
Which moves of his do you think have pathetic range? I recall Game & Watch's forward and back air having decent rage. I'd say his kill power is more of an issue than his range.
Wii Fit Trainer is more of a zoner and can force approaches better than Game & Watch so her range shouldn't be that much of an issue, in theory.
Michael Rogers
I hate Falcondorf. Out of all the characters to be a clone of somebody that's not even from their own series it had to be the one villain I actually liked. We'll never forgive Sakurai for this bullshit.
Angel Barnes
His b and F airs are good. I use those and neutral aerial frequently. His Smash Attacks lack range in my opinion. But you know what. I just suck at this game.
Joshua Anderson
I like shitting lemons all over the place
Lucas Clark
Mewtwo

Gabriel Clark
Do you play 3DS or Wii U?
Brody Jones
Fast fun and hits hard.
Logan Rogers
Played 3DS. My charging port broke so I need to get it fixed.
Owen Sullivan
>I feel pretty comfortable with this character >Let me experiment further with this character >Am I comfortable after experimenting this much with this character >If yes, then it is my main and I need to experiment more.
Alexander Hill
ROB players piss me off the most, because they look like the most tryhard faggots when they fight. Beating those fags brings so much tears.
Henry Bailey
In what way do they look like the most tryhard faggots?
What does tryhard even mean?
Alexander Roberts
Shut up, I don't have to explain myself to you.
Christopher Brown
I play Olimar because someone has to Also i love chaining down tilts and finishing with an up tilt
Julian Jenkins
I guess it seems proper for a delusional faggot to be able to recognize another supposedly tryhard faggot.
Isaiah Rodriguez
I picked Cloud because I love Final Fantasy VII.
Cooper Murphy
Are you finished? Stop responding.
Colton Powell
Corrin
SIDE B I D E B
David Turner
I main DDD e Link. I used to main Charizard at launch, but abandoned him for DDD because he was so shitty. But after the buffs he is better than DDD, so I might main him again.
I love DDD because gordos are hilarious, good recovery and gimp ability, and I like some brute power. And he is Tsundere as hell.
When the opponent picks a cancer like Cloud or Sonic, I use Link. Because he is cool and all.
I like low tiers because the opponent usually don't know how to fight against it. In tourneys, after you fight ten top tiers in a row and them you see a DDD with a decent fighting ability, you really don't know how to deal with it.
Isaac Jenkins
I chose your main because I'm bad at reading, spacing, adapting, reaction and other fundamentals of Smash 4 so I needed a character that didn't require alot of work to be good at. It's not like I'm an nerd that can waste my time playing video games.
Caleb Martinez
Memes and a young mind at the time.
After getting F-Zero X and GX, it changed from an ironic main to unironic.
although i'm still a goddamn memelover
Kevin Miller
Marth, he looks like a cool 90s anime character and I'm a massive Marthfag
Gavin Cook
I like pokemon
Also wanted speed without having to play Greninja
Gavin Robinson
>Have all the tools of a high tier, unique combos, strong u-smash >Bad frame data
Jack Campbell
Is that supposed to be marth? Because it looks like he has more cleavage than Lucina
Angel Gonzalez
Is this boy-pussy or regular old pussy?
Ayden Wright
I picked Wario because I was a fan of the Wario Land series and used him in all the Kart/Party games.
The fact that a well placed fart creates a brilliant combination of comeback and disrespect was just a bonus.
Grayson Adams
>I like playing ranged characters in close quarters combat type games Damn you even make common spacing sound like a special snowflake tactic
Jayden Ortiz
Is anyone else stuck in the "Better than all your friends irl but worse than everyone online" area?
Bentley Diaz
Did you post your own miiverse post just now? Cuz that grammar is bad and its unfunny I can't imagine anyone would screen cap it much less 3minutes after it was posted
William Jones
NONE OF THEM WANT TO PLAY ME ANYMORE AND I HATE WIFI
Brandon Howard
>that webm
I don't think the person who made that, realizes how bad he looks by saving that piece of shit and worse of all "Being proud" of winning that poorly to a inexperienced cloud.
Colton Martinez
Why do people keep acting like olimar is underused is this a new meme
Colton Torres
As a firm charizard main I can confirm he is not better than dedede
Evan Hill
Bowser
I always loved Bowser since I was a kid, even when mario kart was released on SNES. He was like my favourite baddy in the same vain kids obsessed over super heroes. Conveniently too I always had an affinity towards tanky gameplay relying on durability. So when Bowser was released in Melee and was exactly how I imagined (big and tough as well as judt being bowser) I never looked any other way and mained him since. Its nice in Sm4sh that he is genuinely viable, but I still have a soft spot for his melee and brawl incarnations.
Plus I can just take a break from fighting and go kart as him in mk7 and mk 8. Multi game maining Bowser is comfy.
Matthew Cooper
Stay mad
Gabriel Bailey
Easy. He was in the 3DS demo.
Nathan Davis
I'm in the better than all friends and high win rate online while still going 0-2 in locals bracket
Grayson Campbell
It used to be Falcon because I didn't like to use projectiles at the time, which is funny considering that I now main ROB. Why I am main him is because when I wanted to change, I've always liked robots, so I wanted to give him a shot. After that, it just stayed.
Josiah Jenkins
Dr Mario for his fair Marth for his uair Charizard for his bair And ganondorf for his Nair
Lincoln Hill
I need to find a high tier main, Kirby isn't cutting it anymore
Luke Diaz
Fucking yes. I thought I was the only one.
John Jenkins
>link? hey, I love TLoZ >oh shit, his dair kicks ASS in melee! brawl >oh fuck it's SNAKE! >AND FUCKING IKE! sm4sh >oh shit, link is good again! >Ike is back! >I was hype as fuck for megaman, and now I can use him!
>friend starts playing, agree to pick up a new character >she likes lucina, so I pick up marth >still terrible with him, but eh.
Mason Fisher
I started maining DK because I was too good with Mario in Smash64. my friends were extremely salty and refused to play with me so I chose DK because i knew he sucked and it gave my friends a chance. little did i know i would fall in love with the shitty ape. ive been dunking on fools ever since.
Carson Thompson
Xenoblade gives me a hard-on. If we still get some Monolith Soft stuff around the time 5mash comes around, I'd love to see Elma, Fiora, or Mumkhar playable. Fuck, I'd even take KOS-MOS if Sakurai makes some more dealings with Namco.
Asher Torres
Same here but with Ganondorf
Juan Torres
No one else hits hard enough & he's my best character.
Nolan Morris
I fell in love with him as soon as I started playing as him
Landon Clark

user unless you are fighting top level players like zero, just stick to your favourite. Besides Kirby has a lot of good tools to fight most of the cast at decent level. Hell, I mained Bowser in brawl and that was crazy.
Colton Price
Zelda does, but it's MAGIC.
Angel Harris
His aerials are fun to use, and not a lot of people are ready for how high and fast he jumps which makes edgeguarding pretty easy
Brody Baker
I've just been losing a lot lately and it hurts my soul, I'm beginning to suspect that I might just be terrible at the game
Wyatt Cooper
I love Animal Crossing and was very excited for his inclusion
Also, pocketing, trees, and a great recovery move make Villager the most fun character to play as
Josiah Roberts
Run speed is annoying slow, So I've been attempting to tech chase with Down B to catch people keeping distance.
Noah Barnes
Well I always go by "there will ALWAYS be people better than you but that shouldnt stop you from trying and having fun". Just enjoy thhe game for what it is than worry bout being good. Plus least you dont get comboed 0-60%.
Zachary King
I main Ike because I'm addicted to landing those big hits.
Nothing else will sate me.
The feeling when someone fucks up and gets their head caved in by a solid gold sword is absolutely unmatched.
Wyatt Diaz
Don't really take smash seriously enough to have a "main" as I only play with Cred Forums. But it's usually Link, Falcon or Ryu. As they're 3 of the characters whose games I grew up on with my Game Boy/SNES
Grayson Edwards
Cred Forumseekend tourney when
Jaxon Fisher
Make the thread.
Jose Perry
Since we have a sm4sh thread, why do people hate fighting mac so much? Get a lot of groef using him both at locals and online.
Dylan Wood
I pick Robin because I dig magic knight/spellswords.
Gavin Collins
There's a large power gap between bad macs and good macs. Good macs are fast and hard to get a hold on. Bad macs are a literal joke.
Caleb Russell
Mewtwo
Because IT went from a joke, to a fucking nightmare in a few patches
Bentley Long
Because being good with him basically just consists of playing super defensively as to not get thrown, then abusing the super armor on is really strong smash attacks. He could be worse but he can be really annoying to fight when every time you approach he dodges the grab or smashes you in the face through one of your attacks.
Aiden Sullivan
Super armor, KO punch. Plus taking a stock from him doesn't exactly feel rewarding because it can happen at any percent
Ian Cox
Robin because she's cute
Jacob Parker
Bullshit. The major difference is that Charizard has a fucking kill power. Tilts, U Throw, Special moves and fucking Fair.
DDD don't have a decent kill move besides Bair. Maybe Uair and a lucky D Smash. That is it.
Dylan Hughes
I chose shirtless shulk because I'm annoying to fight. Usually I always get my ass kicked and I win its double the humiliation.
I don't own a wii so I can't train ether
Jeremiah Brooks
I like the juxtaposition of her delicate appearance but being a really hard hitter.
And she looks good.
Nolan Rodriguez
Although Falcon is extremely boring to use in Smash 4 because they turned him into LOL DASH GRABS BRUH: The Character, he's still the only character I can actually have fun with because he's just like a racer version of a Kamen Rider or something, which I love.
His attack animations are also one of the most mean-spirited and brutal when compared to cartoony punches and swords. He drives an elbow or knee directly to your fucking face and sets you on fire or electricity.
Fuck Smash 4, though.
Ryan White
Guys, I found th cloud player, laugh at him
Dominic Turner
>dropped Zard because it was shitty >for Dedede What?
Austin Perez
Yoshi has been my main since 64 He's fast and hits hard; it's all I've ever wanted in a character. His match win animations have been the same since 64 because they're just so perfect.
Kevin Nguyen
Gave him a try out of boredom and now he's one of my best characters. He was way easier to play than I thought he would be, too, liberal use of nair works surprisingly well for a lot of situations.
Jayden Perry
I'm a huge Animal Crossing fan so I was happy that Villager made it in, and when I saw the alt skins, I was in love
Juan Edwards
My nigga
Carson Taylor
I thought Yoshi was perfected for me in Brawl.
Feels like a totally different character in Smash 4. So I only play him intermittently now.
Carson Myers
Cred Forumskend starting
Jayden Richardson
Not everybody on For Glory is a shitty player.
Jacob Martinez
Ganondorf because I always seem to gravitate towards buff slow heavy hitters.
Jayden Walker
I don't know what world you come from but losing for most people is not exactly fun.
Anthony Reed
>your grammar is bad >has worse grammar while I agree with you, you type like a Mexican in middle school
Christopher Anderson
thing is, people that strictly follow 0-60 combos they saw on youtube don't know how to follow up. All they did was give you rage and you should be better off for it if you can react properly.
nearly every character has a frame trap, and that should be more than enough to get you going.
Alexander Hill
Awesome. Shame that Falcondorf is trash in every way though.
Jaxon Rodriguez
>oh shit, link is good again!
Except he isn't, especially when some of his worst matchups got buffs coming into Smash 4 as well.
Not to mention his mobility was were insignificant for the most part coming into Smash 4. He still has some of the worst overall mobility in Smash 4.
Carter Williams
Same I have a huge folder of Villager images
Joshua Howard
99% of the time I main characters simply because they are my favorite character in the game.
The other 1% is going to be finding a main for a game with characters I'm not familiar with, but I haven't played a new fighting game in a while, so I'm not even sure.
Logan Scott
didn't realize this was a Smash thread, so in the case of Smash Bros, my main is 100% always my favorite character, though in some cases, characters (namely Marth and Falcon) become my favorite characters because of Smash.
64: Fox, Luigi Melee: Falcon, Marth Brawl: Sonic, Snake Smash 4: Sonic, Ryu
Juan Cox
but that up smash tho
Christopher Martinez
>Complains about grammar >Says unfunny :I
Andrew King
Up smash is good when it hits, just like every other move in this game.
Suffering 36 frames of lag on whiff isn't pleasant.
Brody Harris
I'm a low tier whore. DDD looked like a decent low tier.
Kevin Young
he's a hell of a lot better than he was in brawl.
Mason Lopez
Falco.
I just played him one day and naturally knew combos from a friend who plays him, and he just stuck.
Jack Sanders
>having a "main" in tr4sh
Why lol
Zachary Reed
I dunno man, I find it pretty fun.
Ryan Jenkins
>DK >sucking >in Smash 64
giv ur hed a shake
Blake Collins
I miss Squirtle, shame about his neutral B, and being cut from Sm4sh along with Ivysaur
Lucas Walker
You're probably playing on 4glory where mandatory FD and wifi lag jump up up to A+ tier on the 4gloryhole tier list.
Jordan Morgan
Sonic. Even in brawl, now it feels great to piss people off because he's so good now.
Jack Smith
Charizard Came for Pre Nerf Nair, stayed for Post Buff everything else
Chase Mitchell
Robin because checkmating is too good. Palutena because I really like KI:U and I playing her more than Pit and Pittoo. Everyone says her tilts are useless but they can actually be pretty good if used correctly and not spammed like Fox.
Brandon Ortiz
>best taunt >fire hydrants >fruit what's not to love about this smug motherfucker
Julian Morgan
So are characters like Sheik, Captain Falcon, Sonic, and etc.
The measly mobility buffs coming into Smash 4 from Brawl aren't going to cut against characters who break his zone easily, beat him in close-range, and then combo the shit out of him.
Lincoln Allen
Lucina because its harder to get the tipper on my tiny 3DS screen, also shes a cute.
Brayden Parker
that's nice
but link is a fuckton better than he was in brawl, which was what I clearly meant. he's not top tier, but he's not bottom tier either, which was where he firmly was in brawl and melee.
link is actually fairly good in comparison to his melee and brawl outings.
Luis Collins
Fun fact, those characters are largely unchanged from brawl. Infact, Sonic is in many ways worse It's the different environment that makes them better. Sm4sh Link Vs Sm4sh top tiers isn't the same as Brawl Link versus Brawl top tiers. Import any of the brawl top tiers into Sm4sh and you have a SSS+ character
Kayden Morris
choosing only one main in a smash game is stupid its so easy to learn multiple characters i mostly play peach, marth/lucina, doc, dk, and zss
Wyatt Wilson
meh
Josiah Hernandez
And he was shit in Brawl and decent at best in Melee. That says a lot. D
Do you really want me to sit here and list practically every reason why this character is not viable and never will be with someone in charge like Sakurai?
Luis Cox
...no? I don't know why you're having an autistic shitfit over this. Calm down bro.
Jace Diaz
>worst grab in the game
Julian Gray
>"oohhh look at me, I pay money to shitpost."
kys
Grayson Reyes
What's the meh for? I'm not the op but I'm curious.
Charles Taylor
I liked Bowser in the other games, but I could never use him if I wanted to win. I like that he's viable in Sm4sh, but every match still feels like an uphill battle despite being big, strong, and fast. He's a relatively honest character though. He really only has one cookie-cutter combo that you still need to read to use effectively, and most of his moves require good reads and timings.
Tyler Lee
>caring about the grab when you're packing four different fruits
Benjamin King
Yeah. I can do pretty decent in Cred Forumskends but that's not really a real test of skill because chucklefucks join in and do nothing but dick around while also choosing awful stages.
Justin Turner
I started playing Fox when I got sick of the spam shitters on 4glory and just started to secondary him because I used to play DK and Fox is small and fast and thus can close the distance and bob and weave projectiles so very much better but now he's my tryhard "you beat me and because I'm an angry child I must now shit on you as hard as possible" "fuck everyone who plays this game in general" character.
Kayden Rodriguez
Peach main because I've mained her since Melee, her playstyle is generally to my liking with good aerials and versatile specials, and her more unique mechanics make up somewhat for my lacking fundamentals. Kinda hard to get kills with her that aren't offstage fairs and I miss the ceiling kill potential of her old uair but whatever.
Pocket Zelda because I picked up on her somehow in Brawl and used to lovetap with the teleport for shits and giggles. Once 4 gave that killing potential I fell in love as I've had the spacing on that down for years now. Also, down B no longer turning me into Shiek is much appreciated.
Nicholas Lee
The ability to turn into Sheik was more rewarding than Zelda's entire moveset.
That's how trash Zelda is.
Ryan Harris
This nigga. He's just amazing all round. Hits like a truck, fast, and has tools for every situation. Donkey Kong is fun too, I like slapping the shit out of people using that retarded looking ape.
Joshua Walker
To each their own. I've never liked playing as Shiek much. I know I'm in the minority there but I guess I'm just weird.
Ethan Morris
Mario, he's not outstanding in any field (combos aside) but he won't let you down. With good throws a few good kill options, good air and ground speed, a high priority recovery, decent projectile and amazing neutral game he's extremely good.
Jeremiah Sullivan
The only thing about Mario that hits even close like a truck are his smash attacks.
You're probably not. Most people probably only play Sheik because she's top tier/actually good unlike Zelda.
Jordan Lewis
Terrible in free for all as his damage % skyrockets in them, I'm still mad with how 4 nerfed his giant punch, although at least he still has his throws and his meteors to fall back on
Zachary Jackson
Mario's frame data isn't outstanding as well as his air speed?
Can we let this meme die already? Mario is no longer an all-around character.
Kevin Adams
>playing anything that isnt gamecube smash
Jonathan King
>mario tries to do a fastfall while I'm off stage >up b away from him >he fastfalls to his death and can't recover because he's still in cooldown
James Ramirez
Super Fox Bros. is not my cup of tea.
Anthony Taylor
This just in: Cred Forums is shit at vidya.
John Gutierrez
You'd think so but you're wrong. I've watched people play video games at Walmart/Gamestop kiosks. Trust me, Cred Forums isn't shit at vidya.
Dominic Reed
I started maining Cloud when he first released, because he felt really good to use, I guess reason why would be that he was like a combination of all the other characters I like to use. >Decent recovery like Roy, than can be good like Luigi >Hits hard like Ike, but isn't slow like him, and I don't have to be close to hit hard like Roy >Fast, but not too fast like Captain Falcon and Sonic >Has a projectile, like Link, Toon Link, Luigi, and Kirby >Has a low percent KO move like Luigi and Jigglypuff
Camden Price
>Ike >Little Mac >Falcon
its funny, too. people don't ever seem to expect to get bodied by Little Mac. I'm gonna agree with the other guys here, though. there's a massive difference between a good Mac and a shit one, and the shit ones far outnumber the good ones.
Kayden Gutierrez
>n64: fox >melee: fox >brawl: what bullshit is this >project m: fox >smash 4: fox

Owen Allen

Kek.
David Price
Lucas, he was my smash ballot, and hes just good at everything after the buffs
Caleb Edwards
>Not playing a vet I bet you played Bayo before the nerf. 58 keks.
Blake James
I've mained Link since Smash 64. He is one of my favorite characters of all vidya simply because he is vanilla and boring in personality but is trustworthy and persistent against all odds. These are qualities I like to think that I posses even though I am a very boring individual. Since Smash 4 I switch between him, Little Mac and Ryu. With the exception of Ryu who is incredible, I have a tender spot in my heart for underdogs and broken things.
[Spoiler] did you guys preorder your TP Zelda figmas? The tiddies on that Zelda fig are amazing [/spoiler]
Asher Lewis
Bowser
Been my main since melee and he's actually useable this time around. I normally go with scrappy up close characters in games anyways, so it's a good fit.
Brayden Morgan
i hate fire emblem but ike, because his gameplay and nothing more
Henry Perry
How do you deal with counterpicks, where you have to go to duck hunt or dreamland?
Jeremiah Gray
I chose Wario and Ness.
Because I like Wario and Ness. the point of this game is battling with your favorite characters.
Brody Ward
I main Link retard. I haven't even bought Bayonetta and never will. Why would I ever buy such a cancerous character who has shit proportions in her own home game?
Blake Roberts
Wario's good fun to mess about with on his bike
Jayden Garcia
They were never shit.
You just sucked dick with them, that's all.
Gabriel Lewis
Wario He's been my main since Mario Kart 64 and Mario Tennis, he's just fucking great in every way.
It's also a lot of fun to piss off my friends by using his bike constantly and driving into them while they're forced to keep jumping.
