I know we have a Smash megathread now, but I'd rather have this centralized in a separate thread.

Who are your Smash 4 mains (I guess you can talk about 64, Melee, Brawl, Project M, etc. as well)?
Who are your secondaries? ...Tertiaries? ...Quaternaries?

And which characters are you practicing with, but aren't quite ready to use in battle (and could use some advice on)?



In Smash 4, I'm sort of all over the place. I'm maining Sheik, primarily, with Ganondorf as a secondary.

The relationship between these two characters is pretty poor, I think. There's little synergy. Sheik, theoretically, dominates practically every mid-to-low-tier in the game, and Ganon is a niche character that is good at beating up slow fatties like Bowser, Donkey Kong, Charizard, and himself, and struggles with everybody else--particularly projectile characters. Sheik has no problem with beating these characters, but if I ever catch myself slipping against a fatty, I can always fall back on Ganon to ensure the win, like I did with CK back in the 3DS tournament.

For tertiaries, I'm starting to learn how to play Roy. I really really wanted this character to be in this game, and now that he is, I've been neglecting him, because they ended up making him too different (I particularly hate how they made it so his d-tilt doesn't launch anymore). I'm trying to get over it, though. He's definitely a strong character, but he still feels a little bit unwieldy for me.

My Lucario skills from Brawl translated decently well over into Smash 4, but I haven't been playing Lucario much at all lately. I'd hate to start back up again and be horrible. I hate re-learning stuff--it feels like a waste of time.

I also have a shitty Mario, Little Mac, Pit, Ike, Falco, Lucina, Shulk, Mewtwo, and the worst Ryu you've ever seen in your life.

I also play Mii Swordfighter decently well. I wish these things were legal.

Older games
In Melee, I have my characters rotating in my avatar right now: Roy (main), Falco (secondary), Ganondorf (tertiary).

In Brawl, I played Lucario, Ganondorf (mains), Pit, Falco, Ike (secondaries), and King Dedede (tertiary). I originally played Ganon as a joke character, because I thought it was hilarious how powerful he was, but ended up making him my main, because I got kinda good with him after awhile. Too bad Brawl fucking sucks.

In 64, I played... I mean... I've never played it competitively, sooo. I guess I played Mario and Ness a whole lot.

Fuck Project M.

I was thinking that in the OP of the megathread, we could post a roster of the people here that play Smash 4 and a picture of their main. It would look something like this:

So... I guess I'm going to have to pick up after your horrendous mistakes on here too?
I'm huge on mewtwo, although you obviously know that already.

My secondaries are dark pit, ganon, shulk, and Mr. G&W. After playing an abundant amount of tourneys, I'm starting to lean towards Marth (even though he technically isn't as useful as he was in Melee).

Previous titles:

Melee: Marth = Main. C. Falcon = Secondary
Brawl: Ike = Main. That's actually it.
N64: Fox = Main. Mario = secondary
I don't play Project M.

Edit: Ness was a tertiary for me in SSB4.

‘The most inoffensive user on this website’ - Verbatim
On 64 I played best as Kirby and Mario, but got around to mastering Ness as well. I guess Ness ended up being my main, Mario as Secondary and Kirby as Tertiary, but I never got to play against People.

Thanks to playing through (and an obsession with) Twilight Princess before playing Smash 4 a couple of months before the Tourney, I decided to main Link, and I'm particularly fond of his Range (Particularly with Grabbing opponents/Ledge tethering), good Smashes and the Shield being capable of blocking Projectiles. I'm sure once I'm actually able to use these features properly, I'll be reasonably successful with him. I don't really have any secondaries, but I did best against Nosejob as Captain Falcon, and only lost the match at the last second due to using a Side-special when I intended to use a Neutral Special when he was on his last life. I guess that makes my Tertiary Meta Knight, because before I had any idea about the technical stuff in competitive games, I used to love spamming his Side-special into groups of players in 8 player Smashes.

TL;DR: Main is Link, Secondary is Captain Falcon and Tertiary is Meta Knight.

I like that idea




OT:

Main: Fox

Secondaries: Capt Falcon, Bowser

Tertiaries: Ness, Duck Hunt


Bowser is a weird case. If I can read people good, I'm better using bowser than fox because I'll K.O people faster, and they won't get past any defenses I put up. Capt. Falcon really just depends on if I'm feeling like using him or not.

Ness is just there, not good with him.


Brawl: Capt Falcon

Melee: main is Capt Falcon, secondary is Link and fox

64: Mario or link I guess

What do you think of LoF Nakat?

I think he's the best Fox player in Smash 4. Or REALLY high up there >.>

Also saw the best Pikachu player in a twitch stream 2 nights ago. Kept spiking people with the down-b lightning : O



Bit of a prick though, glad he lost

NAKAT's good, but he uses mostly Ness and just has Fox as a pocket. He hasn't gone far with Fox from what I can remember.

The best Fox is between Larry Lurr and Megafox.

You sure? I saw a match between him and a guy he's buddies with, LoF False, and he played Ness and got 2 stocked.

Used Fox and almost won in the following matches.

Actually, it depends on the matchup. I've never really looked at his Ness and False probably knows all Nekat's moves and tricks
