if youve never been to the smashboards forums, check it out. it is the gateway to competitive play.

Come on guys. Post your mains.

Kirby for me!

Kirby's a useless turd in Melee and Brawl.

I main Gay Man Watch, Wolf, and Olimar. DeDeDe when playing on a stage like Hyrule (lol chain grab off the side of the map*).

*fact: Hyrule is banned in tournament play due to this exploit.

Kirby is what? Dude when my high school way back had a tournament I ended up winning thanks to kirby! I beat them all so fast it wasn't even fun! Just cause you don't know how to use him don't mean he sucks. I'll kick your ass with kirby up and down!

Oh and kirby in brawl he is the same? Or how different compare to melee?

I mained Marth and Dr. Mario in Melee.

In Brawl I main Samus, Fox (sometimes), Dedede, and Toon Link

My ass, dude. Wavedashing is not a substitute for a strategy. I would say I've been to my fair share of tournaments "back in the day" (lol) and EVERYONE has that attitude. Of course it gets mutated into this weird ideology where you totally suck if you don't wavedash, and the opposite, you totally KICK WICKED SICK BALLS if you do. I would submit to you that the majority of people who wavedash don't know how it relates to their characters at all, i.e., how to use it effectively. Yeah, there are people that do, no doubt, but wavedashing is in no way the gateway to competitive play. Figure out if you can actually use the technique with your character firstly.

I've used Kirby as my main in all three games, but yeah, he sucked in Melee. Once I figured that out, I started using Samus a lot. Now in Brawl, I've started using Meta Knight a bit too. I like Kirby's new dash attack in brawl, it's way more useful than that stupid fireball-thing he used to do in Melee.

uh i never said wavedash is a substitute for strategy nor a gateway to competitive play. SMASHBOARDS is the gateway to competitive play. i merely said whoever said wd'ing is overrated is wrong. 95% of melee players are noobs that themselves create that wd'ing myth and attitude. and yes i know how to use wd'ing fluidly with any of the characters i use. way to hate and completely miss my first point.

Smash: Pikachu or Link
Melee: Pikachu or Marth
Brawl: Pikachu, Marth, or Ike

Pikachu is such a fucking badass.

Pikachu is good, but he annoys the hell out of me, because that's who my brother always played at, and I could never win against him! AGGH.

When people use the word "main" as a noun, I can't help but think of water supply networks. When they use it as a verb, I just want to slap them.

We're sorry to offend you.

Fact: Pikachu = BADASS

In brawl, pikachu is a fucking tank.

Not quite, because he's still really lightweight, but his down-A is AMAZING. Also Thunder-spamming is hilarious. You just keep launching them higher and higher into the air until they die, and they can't do shit about it unless they have a counter move like Mario, Fox, or Marth.
