Apologies if this has been done before, but I'm polling various places to get results on this question.

So which is your favourite character and why is that character your favourite?

Edit: fdsafd I forgot Roy.

Falco.

I used to use Link, but there's something about his controls I hated. I can't remember now, I haven't played him in such a long time (or just the game for that matter).. I think it was his jump. Maybe he was too slow?

Speed plays a big factor, I can't do much with slow characters like Bowser or Donkey Kong.

Marth and the Doctor. However, I can and will piss you off with any character I attempt to use. I may not win, but I'll piss you off. Especially with Sheik...

YD: I would guess it's a combination of a low jump and subpar speed, for Link. Maybe try Young Link..? Or would he still not be fast enough?

I'd say this poll should have probably been made with multi-voting on, but oh well.

I just personally don't have a "Number 1 Favorite". But the characters I usually use are: Marth, Roy, Samus, Fox, Adult Link, Doctor Mario, and Falcon. Really, I just seem to shift randomly between those characters everytime I play.

Do I REALLY need to explain my choice?

Kirby all the way guys... no, not my name, the phrase.

I just stick by him, even though he was severely downgraded from the N64 version.

Ultimately serverely.

Seriously, he was my best and absolute favorite character on the N64 game, but on Melee, I completely sucked with him.

Sheik is a girl Snika.

I don't have a favorite character either. I like using Capt. Falcon, Ganondorf, Adult Link, Mario, or Luigi.

If it was in tournament play, it's either Capt. Falcon or Ganondorf which both are almost the same thing except one's faster while the other is more powerful. Those 2 characters I play the most.

I actually can beat most people down with any character, nowadays...

Except Yoshi. And Mewtwo.

But yeah, my favorites have always been the standard toppies: Marth, Falco, Fox, etc.... I haven't really seriously used them in a while, though. Lately I've been experimenting with guys like Mario (who has a surprising degree of speed) and the Kirbster (who just plain rocks when he copies the right people).

My roommates use Jigglypuff and Captain Falcon, of course. So that means I have to watch out for some serious power moves, so dodging and blocking have always been high points for me.

Admittedly, I'm only a newbie to the game (that is what one of my tournament-playing friends told me), but I usually go with Marth for testing each new stadium event, this is mostly because of the B-charge style move (don't ask me names, I'm ass with them sadly), but I realize Roy's is more powerful, heh. But I'm starting to find I can handle Jigglypuff and Ness in ways that are devasting, and I used to use Pikachu almost exclusively before Marth, but now that I'm starting to get PK Thunder down, Ness is looking pretty hot to use. <3

Yoshi, nothin' better in my books. I love egging people right before a double jump so they fall off the edge, how genious is that, and the constapation jumps are funny as hell, especially when you get four people playing as yoshi.

Yoshi is one character I really have a hard time managing, honestly. He just seems so loose and weak.

Hmm, my best character right now is probably Falco. I wasn´t used to him a while ago but I´ve learned to use him. And Fox. Mario and Luigik are also pretty decent. I´m pretty good with Ganondorf too.

I also like Pikachu a lot because of his speed and his Thunder.

Yoshi can be damn annoying on certain stages. The Donkey Kong stage with that waterfall in the background.

When someone uses that egg attack to cover you inside an egg and drops you down the waterfall.

The lack of Peach disturbs me, as does the overabundance of Marth (a.k.a. Mr. No-skill)

Peach is just plan mean. Five-to-the-face from her is probably the best throw in the game, and any woman who can pull bombs out of the ground deserves some love.

And as runner-up, Pichu is the shit in multiplayer matches, hide on an edge, and snipe wih high-charged skull bash, and even when people get close the little thing's got some nice tricks... he just flies like a feather. xD

Pichu's got some power, but I dislike the self-damaging side effects to a lot of his moves. ;(

I don't have one favorite. I like to use all the characters because... well, I need to balance my skills.

I started off using Kirby and only Kirby. He may have been downgraded, but I can still kill with him. Copy some long-distance enemies and he wins hands down. Plus he can dodge like there is no tommorrow (Yoshi, your Egg Roll is useless.)

Fox then became one of my favorites because he was the character that helped me beat Event 51 with ease. He is super fast and his blaster can cause massive damage to unguarded foes thanks to rapid fire. If they guard and break their shields, I rack up more damage with that. The reflector shield is great when he is surrounded by enemies, and his speed dash move is great for quickly reaching one ledge to another while causing some damage.

I am also good with Peach. Her guarding move is excellent when DK powers up his punch at her. I have blocked many moves with this character than with any other character. Also, the floating jump and the evil plants.

One more character I am good at is Pichu. I haven't played him in a while because his weak stature makes him a prime target all the time, but his moves are awesome. Jumping and using his thunder attack doesn't cause damage if you move to the left or right a bit, since the bolt won't hover towards Pichu. He also has some nice moves that make people really furious that they are losing to a puny character. And speed? I can run at an enemy, dodge-roll behind him, and then throw him out before he can realize what just happened.

Well... I could go on... but, yeah, those are my best 4 characters...

You forgot Fox on the poll... at least, I didn't see him.

Not my favorite though, I don't really have a favorite. I play as Fox, Capt. Falcon, Link, Roy, Kirby, and Ness.

Oh nevermind, you listed him as Starfox...
