Awesome! We'll have to get some BMR Smash brawls going at some point! So who does everyone plan to 'main'? I usually main three characters in any fighting game, myself, that way I can focus on getting really good and mastering my selected fighter(s) quickly while having some variety to choose from when playing competitively or with friends to keep it fresh and fun. I already have my 'mains' chosen for this game and cannot wait to get into it.
Primary Main ~ Lucina
Roy became my favorite character in Super Smash Brothers Melee, despite having never heard of the Fire Emblem franchise prior to that game (Smash Brothers has brought so much exposure to great Nintendo Franchises that America has never seen before). His immediate removal in Brawl was a sad blow, but I changed this 'main' slot to Marth and adapted to the more speedy fighting style of the same moveset. Now, having played Fire Emblem Awakening, I am super stoked to see one of my favorite, if not my favorite, characters from that game on our roster for the new games. Number one main, for sure.
Runner-Up Main (1) ~ Link
I've been a Zelda fan ever since playing my first Zelda game back on the SNES, A link to the Past. Link has always been my secondary main through this entire series of games and that isn't about to change. Link is a great character with a great move pool with above-average ring-out potential. Cannot wait to pick up my copy of Hyrule Warriors tomorrow!
Runner-Up Main (2) ~ Zero Suit Samus
Samus was my main in the original Super Smash Brothers back on the N64. She has always been a solid character, but I felt that she always lacked the speed and finesse that I normally like in fighting games. Her hardest-hitting attack takes a while to charge up, after all, and without that charged shot her ring out potential is kind of small. In Brawl, when it became possible for Samus to shed her suit of armor, these problems were fixed entirely (in a super-sexy way to boot!). Zero Suit Samus has earned her spot alongside my old Runner-Up Main. Also, full-body suits are sexy as all fuck. That's some serious bonus points, right?
