Smash Bros Experimenting with new characters

[toadsworthy]

This thread is for people to post there experience with new characters, tribulations and successes. Post videos of said celebrations and failures. Now that we?ve unlocked all characters you?re peobably working out strategies with new ones or rediscovering your old main.

I was having great success with Isabelle yesterday, with her pressure and spacing I was able to outfox the ones who are less likely to rush in and mix it up with aerials to keep them on their toes.

Game and watch seems to hit a lot harder now, I have great success with grounding and f-smash to get kills, while chipping away at health with his new gamut of interesting aerials. I often forget he can reflect stuff now too.

Richter is also probably my new main. Holy crap his axe/holy cross projectile combo is so hard to deal with when times correctly, even if they manage to dodge it you can rush in and get a hit in one way or another. Love his down smash, I need to utilize f-tilt more and grabs to counter people who shield through everything.

I said this too Duck Hunt hits a little harder now too, his hits actually string along now like they should.... can is harder to hit people with but seems to lay longer which helps me pressure anyway. Can hits harder too which I do appreciate when I get people offstage.

I was a Greninja main in Smash 4 but when I get the game I'm going to try new characters. I want to try main Inklings as well as Greninja and maybe secondary Isabelle, Ice Climbers along with Toon Link who I also used in 3DS/Wii U

I'm trying to play with new characters as I get them. Fox and Falco have always been my favorites, but Samus and oddly enough the wii fit trainer have been regular players for me too.

I agree with you on Richter, he is very difficult to deal at times. I think Isabelle is really fun to play, but I am so bad with her.

I tried out Ryu for the first time yesterday, and while he was fun, I did awful.

Recently there's been a couple characters I've taken a liking too.

I love King K Rool. All of his moves are just great. Just pressing B for the canonball is amusing against CPU's as they just run into it half the time, it's hilarious. I'm a sucker for characters with good up specials, and the propellers have saved me many times. The crownerang is also good. He's a slow boi, but I can deal with that.

I've taken a bit of a liking to Captain Falcon. His up special isn't too great for saving myself, but all the other moves are fine. The falcon punch is great when pulled off correctly. And he's fast, which is a bit of a bonus.

I knew I would like Fox, and he's been my main in World of Light. I love characters with long range attacks, so of course Fox goes down will with me. It sure is fun bowling over a bunch of Kirby's, they never saw it coming.

I agree with you guys, I suck at Isabelle and Villager. I feel like I'm letting down the AC fandom Nah, as much fun they are to play with, they're just not my characters (yet).

Richter is frustrating with his holy cross attack too. Haven't really got a chance to try him out yet, but probably should.

King Dedede is another character I've tried out recently, and I'm starting to like him too. Same with Wario.

I am really liking Chrom actually. I feel like he took all the attacks I like from other FE characters and put the on one character. Marth will always be my main though. I am sad his taunts aren't in Japanese any more.

K Rool seems very cheap since his attacks are so powerful. Isabelle is also evil with her fishing rod. It can grab and throw enemies or save her from falling. Her taunts are also really adorable.

I just found my new main! In addition to using Lucario, I’m going to be adding Dark Pit to my arsenal of mains. I was playing against NoUsernameHere and Krefails on online matches and while most characters I tried didn’t do too well, I used Dark Pit and managed to win one match of 3 stocks against NoUsernameHere’s Falco. I don’t know why, but it feels like Dark Pit and I just click. I like his speed, his ability to fly, and his various attacks. Total win-win for me to pick him up as a new main even though I lost most of the other matches, lol.
