Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Favorite Brawl Characters?

I finally got myself a copy of Brawl the other day and am slowly adjusting to the changes from Smash. I know i'm about a year late to the party but i couldn't find any recent threads about this and plus i thought it would be good to know how people now feel about the game after having a decent amount of play time.  I have tried alot of the characters but haven't yet settled on any one in particular. 

Who is/are your favourite character/s and what are their particular strengths and weaknesses.  Also, who's cheap?



Around the Network

Ganondorf, Captain Falcon, Samus, Zero Suit Samus, Princess Peach, Kirby, Snake and Captain Olimar. In that order. The definition of ''main'' for me doesn't apply anymore in this game (compared to Melee I mean).

Specifications:

-Ganondorf: He's a bit slower in this game than in Melee, but once you learn that you can't ''rush'' with him this time around, he's a pretty good defensive character if you're quick with the Perfect Shield and his many close-ranged combos.

-Captain Falcon: Once again, he's a bit harder to control in this game (Luigi's SMB 2 gravity, huh?). He's got far enough range with his many kicks, and that Grab+Down and Ultimate Knee of Justice combo is amazing once pulled out perfectly. Works 4 times out of 5 most of the time!

-Samus: Ever heard about TGM's combo? It's amazing for long-ranged characters, makes them stop spamming their annoying B attacks (stupid Zelda, Wolf, Falco and Pit). After that, play with her many kick and charges, good recovery rate.

-Zero Suit Samus: She's just so good, and you can pull out so many combos with her. Try to get her Meteor Smash to work, it's deadly! I have to say I hate he short range grab though (like Samus'...).

-Princess Peach: Oh my god, she's just so good (and cute in her red dress, hehe)! Best move with her is the aerial A (no directions pressed). Little faints with the gliding+A is also very good! ^^

-Kirby: He's back and better than ever (just like in SSB for the N64, he was a good alongside Ness)! You can't play bad with him, or if you feel pissy, just spam his back aerial+A, or his Air Cutter to make those long-ranged characters shit in their pants! Also, since he's a grinder type of character, shield breaks occure more often since people don't expect that the attacks (run+A, aerial down+A) will last so long!

-Snake: Hehe, his back aerial+A attack is unpredictable, his down+A attack on the ground is deadly (long ranged too), his up aerial+A is even better... Man, Snake is a real beast! Don't forget to stick a mine on your opponent! ^^

-Captain Olimar: Most underrated character ever. Is aerial+A (no directions) is a good grinding move, followed by a down Smash. Grab often, and use that Up+B move to strike your foes to their nearest death! I just love to throw Pikmins at people, and then they keep rolling, and that's when you make use of that advantage!

Sure, I also play with all the cheap characters like Meta Knight, Pit, Zelda, Ivysaur and Wolf, but it's too easy to win with them (seriously, what were they thinking downgrading most of the Melee characters and make these newcomers, except Zelda, the best characters ever, especially Meta Knight?). Ike is not cheap, he's so predictable, even when you play against a person that knows how to play fast with him.



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

Favs:
1. Toon Link (faster Link, though weaker moves)
2. Peach (Only because she's annoying as heck, and my friends HATE her)
3. Diddy Kong (cute monky with flexible moves)
Top 5 cheap characters:
1. Metaknight
2. Metaknight
3. Metaknight
4. Metaknight
5. Metaknight



Pikachu



MetaKnight is my favorite hands down. No other character even comes close to much I love this guy. His voice is badass!!! He's a cool character, and the sound his sword makes is the official sound of cheapness. Also, when he takes out his sword, lightning comes and forms the blade. Too badass. He's up there with Shin Akuma, Iori Yagami, ect in fighting game badassness.

As far as cheap and broken goes:

1: MetaKnight

The rest are pretty balanced with Snake being the best out of the normal characters.

My favorites are Toon Link and Ganondorf.
Toon Link because of his powerful projectiles and large hit boxes. Plus he catches dem Pigguhs!
Ganondorf because of sheer power and unpredictability. And he almost uses his sword. Almost...

I really (really) wanted to be great with Sonic, but I just can't do it. Give him a little power Sakurai! *crai*



^Why? Just an undeniable love or you can kick 5 kinds of &^%$ out of your buddies when playing?

Favorite character is Wolf of course. I just can't get enough of the guy ^__^

Meta knight is the best character in the game though, no doubt. Not cheap, just a bit too good ^^'
