Name your main and secondaries for SSB WII U

Ever since the first smash bros, my main has been my boy Ness. I recently have gotten much better with hiim after a long loss slump. Spamming Pk fire and learning about Pk flash have taught me hes alot better than i thought. Now i watch youtube videos on him and i know i can improve even more.

Secondary is Shulk- Shulk is a bad ass and he has many finishing moves.. and a counter!!

Back up secondary is Bowser just because hes hard to kill and hes powerful ( hard to use against good players though)

BUT i do want to get better with Megaman just because i think he has alot of potential.

WHAT ABOUT YOU GUYS? Id love feedback for my list of 4, and id love to hear about who you guys play as

BTW im expecting alot of people naming Fox, Link, Diddy Kong, and Bowser JR in their lists.

i suck...lets get that out of the way...

i main dedede and my 2ndary is mario/dr mario

i never use mario though only when im sure i going to lose...i just troll.

on the 3ds...i main bowser...2ndary is sonic...

My main is Link while my secondary is usually between Wii Fit Trainer and Marth.

I don't really main anybody, but my favorite to use is Ganandorf. My backup character is Lucina.

Main Lucario

Secondary: Sheik and Marth

Even have a little montage up ;p

Zero Suit Samus and Donkey Kong are my favourites.

My favorite Character is Pit/Dark Pit followed by Palutena.

I have the most online success with them.

Other characters I really like to use and am ok with are Samus (the real one), Luigi, Pac, and Mega Man.

But I'm no where close to competitive level. I'm better than average but get massacred against someone that knows what they're doing.

I'm at the stage where I know what I SHOULD be doing against characters and strategies, I just don't know how to execute it.

Main:

Secondaries:

Main is Toon Link

Secondaries are Bowser Jr, Pikachu and DuckHunt.

My main is ZSS. She was my third in Brawl behind Luigi (main) and Lucas (secondary), but in SSB4 she completely took over. I don't even have a proper explanation... I just finally did what I wanted to do in Brawl and get really good with her and in SSB4 I finally did. Samus is my favorite Nintendo character so it was only a matter of time.

Luigi is now my secondary as he feels super nerfed but I still love him. Lucas, sadly, is no more.

Luigi is a top tier character.

Main: Marth (it was Marth on Brawl, and Roy on Melee - if they kept Roy it would be him instead)
Secondary: Everyone else.

Ever since the original Smash Brothers my main has been Link. My secondary is Mega Man. I also play a lot with Dark Pit and Shulk.

Main: Bowser jr

Secondary: Greninja

I'm competent with most of the roster. When I'm playing seriously though, I tend to gravitate toward Dr.Mario, Megaman, Bowser, Lucina or Lucario.

I main Robin and Lucina, and my secondaries are Ike, Mario, and Samus.

It's changed a lot over the years. I used to main Luigi, Link, and Roy in Melee, then it was Luigi, Ike, and Lucario in Brawl. Don't even remember who I mained in Smash 64.

@elheber: Luigi seems better to me in Smash 4 than he was in Brawl

I play mostly 1 vs 1 matches occasonial smash matches of 4 or greater. NNID : RedRyuJin . Only 45% win rate on about 300 fights so I'm not that great, but improving (it was around 37% when I was at 200 fights total). I try to play online people in sets of 3 matches, once 3 matches are done I find another person to fight so it my win/loss total isn't super skewed by continually fighting very high level players or people who clearly never played the game much before xD

For now my mains for 1 vs 1 matches (In order of how good I am with them): 1. Captain Falcon 2. Zero Suit Samus 3. Megaman

My mains for 4 player or greater smash (In order of how good I am with them): 1. Ike 2. Charizard

Changeup Characters for 1 vs 1 matches (In order of how good I am with them): 1. Toon Link 2.Link 3. Ike 4. Marth 5. Lucina 6. Pit 7. Metaknight, 8.Shulk 9. Little Mac, 10. Sonic 11. Charizard 12. Samus

Other Characters in the game I very rarely use. Next time I get a string of off days from work I'm planning to try a few of them out, namely Sheik, Fox, Falco, Ness, and Rob. Maybe Mario and Luigi.

Robin, Lucina, Jigglypuff, Link are me best.

Main-Little Mac

Secondary-Villager/Link

Mains: Zero Suit Samus and R.O.B.

Secondaries: Luigi, Capt. Falcon, Rosalina, Palutena, and Samus

Main Super Smash character: Mario

Secondary characters: Donkey Kong, Yoshi, Link, Peach, Samus, Zelda

Well, when I get the game which isn't in the nearly future sadly, I'd probably go with my usual trio Link (My main for every Smash game to date), Ike, and Yoshi (Both mains from Brawl)...

I bounce around between Ike, Villager and Sheik

Main:
Mega Man

Secondaries:
Link
Bowser Jr.
Villager

@Pitbulllova: I'm pretty bad at Smash as Smash WiiU is the first one I ever actually got into. It's a great game. I don't have any real mains, I've pretty much been using a handful of fighters. If you want to call them mains, my mains are Lucina and Shulk

Secondaries would be Mario and Mega Man.

I would love to be better with Samus because I just like her but I usually lose with her.

I should just do what you do and watch some youtube vids to see what other people are doing. It's helped me in other games but I've never done it with Smash.

Main:

Lil Mac

Secondary:

Bowser, Bowser Jr, and King Dedede

Okay now I'll say that my mains are 1) Zero Suit Samus 2) Captain Falcon 3) Megaman

I'm trying to get better with marth but I simply suck ass with him most of the time. Need to try more characters..

I suck and I don't get this game at all. I play it...and it's a big hodge podge mess of players. I can't focus on anyone to hit. I cant land any hits and I can barely land any smashes off the board. I have no idea how anyone plays this game with any real tactics or skill unless it's only one on one fights and even then...

I like Dr. Mario and Dark Pit and recently Rosalini.

youtube tutorials and lots of practice offline and online are your friend.. you'd be suprised how much better you get by just playing online matches. A lot of the game has to do with timing your attacks and especially predicting and punishing what other players do, you can win a lot of matches just simply by countering over-agressive players with moves that trump theirs if you know what they will do. Playing against all the characters, using all the characters and learning their moves, how far they reach, what they do, helps ALOT. Mix up what you do against any opponent in a given match, and playing mindgames like conditioning them to think you will upsmash then just block and do upthrow, conditioning and mindgames are key for really good players because you can't predict what they will do to you.

You can rarely ever hit even a halfway decent opponent in smash if you simply charge towards them and attack, that just telegraphs your attack to them and they simply counter it. If you're really predictable in your attacks it makes you easy to defeat. If someone sees you charging a smash attack for a long time they are usually easily countered, i.e. they just get out of your way, wait for you to finish, then punish you.

Great thing to do is record the battles you lose badly, and just analyze them to see what you're doing wrong (ex. I block too much, roll too much, never grab, vulnerable against grabs) then you can research how to combat that weakness.

Basically if you put some time into learning and practicing you can get pretty good at this game in mere weeks if you wanted to. IDK about being tournament calibur, I'm just talking about being able to win like 1/2 your battles against online opponents, so you have a chance at winning almost any fight besides playing against stupidly good/final round-tournament tier players .

Main: Marth

Secondary: Samus

Currently Duck Hunt dog as main.

Ike/Kirby are secondary.
