This little topic shall be about how all of us started using our mains in SSF2. You can include all previous mains, current ones, and secondaries if you want to.

Edit 2-Now a secondary Peach: When I played at school with my friends we were all casual players, but at my school I was the best (ever slightly mind you, and out of the group of people that actually played) so I decided to play Peach considering she was the worst at the time (demo 0.9a). Shortly after choosing Peach as my main I stumbled across an SSBM video. Super Sweet GFs where I saw Armada and his amazing Peach which, at the time, I didn't understand because of all the ATs . I then decided to be a bit more competitive, but I didn't even know what SHFFLs were. Peach became my favorite.

Jigglypuff: One day my friend decided to play Jiggs. I referred him to HungryBox to get an idea of how to play Jiggs;however, he constantly forgot to look up HungryBox day after day so I decided to play Jiggs to help him. I would on the day of choosing Jiggs play against many characters on training mode at 2x speed to learn how to land rests. I would also split off from the FFAs we had daily to get some 1v1 Jiggs practice so that I could teach him. Jiggs stayed and has become my main, surpassing Peach.

Edit 2-Pikachu: I just want another pokemon. This one is old now.

Edit 2-Fox: I saw SS's and Kylos's destruction with the character and during a time where I really, REALLY got into Melee. Thus I ended up picking up Fox.

Edit 2-Marth: I need a char that can be decent even with heavy lag.

Edit 3-Goku: Was my main back in 0.7a(b,?) back when I was just a casual scrub. Now I may be competitive, but I still consider myself a scrub, lol.

Edit: I hope this is the right subforum.

Me? i dont really have a main... it started with melee, i liked to play as most of the characters, same with brawl and 4. its just... i cant explain, but for street fighter its almost the same, (But i love akuma in SSFIV).

I loved watching Captain Falcon players and CF combo videos, especially silentspectre and Scar, so thought I'd try him out. Fell in love, end of story.

In order of picking them up:
Kirby is from when I barely knew anything about smash, but I watched a few t1mmy vids and I made him my main, now I main him in every smash game (only active Scottish melee Kirby main.), his playstyle just clicks with me.

Fox: I picked up fox because he was fun, fast and technical, and because SS told me to main him on stream ages ago.

peach: idek how I picked up peach, I didn't really have a reason until I started playing well with her, and now I've evolved in to this turnip combo lord you see today, the white is a homage to wife btw, after watching him play all the time and reading his book I started going white.

pika I picked up pika right at the end of 9a, I liked his playstyle and felt he covered matchups that my other characters lost so I just went for it.

I guess I'll do secondaries too:

Sora was the first char I picked up that wasn't kirby, I picked him up after getting him in random battles vs cpu on stream and having a blast playing him, I mained him for most of 9a, but kind of don't really play him anymore.

Falcon: SHOW ME YA MOVES!

Lloyd: I picked up lloyd because I heard he had chaingrabs (as an icie main, it attracts me to a char .-.) and he's super gay and stupid and degenerate and I now hate playing with or against him as it is literally fun-draining for me. oh wait, patch, lloyd is cool again.

Ness: I saw Reslived vs Pink Fresh on S@X (the one with the 3stock that got returned by a 4stock.) and hype forced me to play him.

I've got tired of seeing Link being low tier in ever smash game, so I decided to try him out myself. And I can believe why a character this good is placed so low on the tier list. So after that, Link was my main. "True Story."

Well... first of all mains:

Black Mage: As a Final Fantasy fan, the first time I saw this guy my hype exploded, and after seeing how awesome his moveset was, I just couldn't resist to pick him as a Main. He has every single option that I want and it's the representation from some of my favorite games (Final Fantasy I/V/VI) so... yeah, love the little caster.

Lloyd: As a sucker for Two-blades and a fan of ToS, I love his game style of being an aggresive glass cannon (At least now after the patch), which make him so fun to play as.

Sora: This is a fun case that's common on most of my chars. When I went into Online, everyone was spamming Sora's Flowmotion, and that made me feel sad, because I knew the char had a lot more to offer, so I picked him up and loved it. Kinda reminds of Pit gameplay (Which I really like)

Bomberman: Kinda similar to the later, but instead of people spamming with him, it was because nobody picked him. After having some matches and getting the hang of it, I loved every single thing about him. Fun Fact: I disliked him when he was just released.

...Ok, I have to talk about my seconds because I love those too :<

Ichigo: Sora syndrome. Kinda reminds me of Ike, another character which I like

Mega Man: Y U NO SMASH 4 MEGA MAN. I like him, but not as much as I used to. Mostly because of how much I loved Sm4sh Blue Bomber. I picked him up again now and it's fine, still a character which I like but not my favorite.~

tails: i played all the characters any took the one i was worst at, and yes i played CF and Fox better my first time then i did tails, dont ask.

peach: i play peach in melee.

fox: SS gave me crap about my tails, so i picked up fox and liked playing him.

lloyd: i got mad.

Pikachu: Has been my main in all Smash Bros games (except Melee, my very first smash bros game which my main is Pichu). I've performed really well using this character than any other character.

Goku: Because I like to punch things and shoot lasers.

sanic: because sanic fast

DK: Had no interest in playing him until I saw people saying how powerful he was. During my time where I had no internet, I played DK, with or without Turbo mode. Picked him up as a main when I fought a rainbow marth and got 2stocked whereas any other character gets 3'd.

Kirby: I dont freakin know I just like him

Ichigo: Wavelands and such hell idk

Guess what? I got a new main, and it's no other than the meme-starter himself, Captain Falcon. Why I chose to main him? Well, lately I've been watching many different CF combo videos on youtube, but I never thought to try one out before because I didn't think I had the potential to combo. So today, I tried to mimic some combos into my falcon and surprisingly enough, they linked. If I knew I had this much potential with falcon, I would've mained him sooner. But as of today, Light Falcon is my 2nd official main. Now who will be 3rd? Mario? Samus? Who knows...

And shout outs to the other Falcon-Punching mains out there (Jammy).

Ichigo: i realized sonic's persentages sucked i needed someone with good combos and percentages

Sora:it was a drark and stormy night (see what i did there) i got my arse kicked...again by a sora player and now i use sora

Zelda: Ease of use, and overall my best character, despite not maining her in any other smash game.
ZSS: boobs
Purin [2ndary]: Main in every other Smash game.
Marth [3rdary]: See Purin.

Back when smash flash 1 came out I just loved smash and played everybody. Mad hype for ssf2 and then I continued playing everybody in every game. Started playing 64 competitively where I decided for once to just pick one character and work on it. Picked pikachu, def inspired by gerson. When pikachu was released in smash flash I was hooked, so ridiculously fun I didn't care it was only vs bots. Passion remains today, absolutely love the character. When online mode came out I dropped all other smash games & focused exclusively at becoming not s*** at something for once.

ONE OF US. ONE OF US.

Kirby: he's Kirby what's not to like
Sora: pretty nice sword fighter back in 0.9a since there was no Marth, and his playstyle just kind of suit me somehow.
Marth: I was looking around on the Smash wiki and I found out about this "Fire Emblem" series with the nice-looking Marth, so I decided to try him out in Brawl and Melee, had quick attacks so I immediately fell in love with him. Also he's blue, my favorite color.
Lloyd: level 9 CPUs in 0.9a that tried up air chains, oh and event 2
