Im probably going to use the gamecube controller at first then try it with the Wiimote and the person I will use would be either Pit or Kirby cause Pit is cute and Kirby is pink and cute. :)

"Power Suit" Samus Aran is great in Melee. She has speed, high jumps, long range weapons, and powerful smashes. It was lots of fun playing her.

I was either Falco, Ganondorf, or Roy. I think that both Snake and Meta Knight will be good choices, but i think i will like Pit.

Gotta go with Samus as well. I can't really explain why I play best with her. Donkey Kong was also fun in Melee if you did the good ole grab, and jump off the end of the board to piss your friend off move.

In Melee, I use a mix of Link, Mario, and Kirby. As for Brawl, things will probably stay the same. I am looking forward to trying out the new chracters, but I'm also old and set in my ways.

Of course, if any sort of MegaMan shows up as another third-party chracter, I can't be held responsible for never using another character ever again.

During Melee's time (which is sorta still going on :P) I transitioned from Link to Luigi. I'm really eager to try out Luigi in Brawl and bring on some slappage and karate chops to the battle.

Ness is my favorite in Melee. Link is second. I've tried to use all characters and have not really mastered just one character. I don't know about anyone else but I think Resident Evil characters in a SSB game would be awesome. I loved Jill in MVC2. It would be fun to command zombies to munch on some pokemans.

I've been playing with Mario since the original N64 SSB. There's no way I'm giving up on him with Brawl.

Also, Wavebird FTW.

In the original SSB for the N64 I went with Mario. But I changed to Link in Melee, almost the only character I ever used in that game.

In Brawl I will probably continue with Link, but if Sonic shows up, bye bye Link =)

i've always used kirby, but in brawl, i'll have to go with little mac ;)

if he didn't make the cut, kirby. but i'm excited to try out pit and wario, too.

when the first smash bros. came out on the 64, and i heard that kirby was available, i couldn't wait to rock my friends as the little guy. little did i know kirby was slow and crappy. the first game was unbalanced, as fox had ludicrous speed and power. i was left with no option but to train night and day as good ol' mario.

now that brawl's here, kirby may still be crap, but fracking metaknight? he just CAN'T be a disappointment.

In SSB I always used kirby...but that changed when melee came out...Then My character was shiek...and it still is,,, she is so nimble, fast, and stealthy...her running may not be extremely fast like capt. falcon...but her moves have an amazingly small reaction time...I am all for speed!

In brawl...I am really interested in pit...he looks really fast...has more than 2 jumps...and can change his light beam bow into a double swd! :D But I am still thinking between him and Sheik...(O plzplzplzplzplzplzplzplzplz have sheik)But i will just have to wait and try...

Also, I like having another character like a backup for when I am tired of playing with Sheik...my backup for melee was Luigi...He was Very pwrful and had excelent air combos/atks...

Then, I always had a little "just for fun" character... I had two in melee...
1-Jigglypuff...because I loved playin around with her smash move(spinspinspin)
2-DonkeyKong...It was soo much fun grabbing people and walking off the edge with them xD

Kirby; now and forever

Then we hope that Mr. Game and Watch and Marth made the cut, otherwise i'm going to have to develop a new set of character choices

And i'll use all the control schemes except the Wiimote on its side. The others all have advantages and disadvantages

NESS. What could be cooler than hitting pikachu in the face with a baseball bat, or zapping friends from afar with up-b? But I also look forward to meta knight.

Melee, I use DocMar, but I am fearful he won't make the cut. In Brawl I'll use Waluigi and/or whoever makes it in from the punch out franchise (preferably a villain).

I can't help but love Kirby myself. It's just so fun to watch my friends fume when they're in my big puffy belly. But I am seriously going to have to check out Snake, if only so I can yell random things during matches, like "Mrflegrr... crab... battle!"

Im a Link user at heart. Link is my man, especially in his Black Ninja Tunic :P! But I will also be a Pit user, he looks really good and reminds me of Link in his gymnastics and stuff.

Also if they put Sonic, Im using him no doubt. hope Hope Hope.

My main guys in Melee are Link and Fox.
Brawl will likely not change, but I'm gonna play around with the others just to see.
As far as control sceme goes, I'll try em all out and see which one I like

I used Kirby in both the original, and in Melee, but now that badass Meta-Knight is gonna be in Brawl, he's definitely my character to use.

I'm leaning toward Pit right now. Purely for the homage to Kid Icarus. I don't really play Melee, since I don' have a Cube, but the few times I did, I used either Falco, Samus, or Roy (or Marth, I forget...)

In the original game, without question, Kirby was my favorite. In fact, truth be told, he seems overpowered in that game. Link is a good backup. Jigglypuff is great to use against cocky players.

In Melee Link seems gimped, and Kirby has been toned down a lot. I like playing Marth, he can be very strong if handled right. I have a friend who played Roy, who seemed cheap perhaps mostly because that friend was playing him.

But the character I was best at, and I was just as surprised as anyone, was Peach. She might be a princess, but in Smash she is unquestionably the combo queen. Handled right, you can make any arbitrary player throw their controller in a fit of rage if you can master her rushing attacks, and it doesn't hurt that she's got the best horizontal recover in the game, and that her "float" ability is good for messing up opponents' jump attacks.

I usually use Marth in Melee. He has good agility and can bust out some good combos. If not Marth, I use Doc Mario.

In the original I'd usually use Pikachu or Luigi. I would use Kirby because he was superpowerful in that game but my brother used him so I just couldn't bring myself to use him.

For Brawl, I have no idea. Wario looks interesting and I can always fall back on Mario but I want to see who else is on the roster.

Daisy! (aka Peach in alt color).

When I play Melee it's always 5-stock Auto-Handicap and I always rotate my characters after each match. However, as my friends and family do not play nearly as much as I do, I win the early battles and my handicap drops fast.

But if I'm getting especially frustrated and need a win I'll stick with Peach to kick some ass. I like Pikachu, too, but his lightning tends to piss people off so I usually avoid that route.

I've been using Pikachu since the N64 version, though I've been known to bring out Bowser on occasion. I can't wait to try out Snake and Meta Knight, but after almost ten years, it will be hard to give up my Pokémon mastery.

in ssb64, I was usually kirby or pikachu. then melee came out and I stated playing seriously. as of right now, I play Falco, Fox, and Captain Falcon. But whenever I'm feeling crazy, I'll play almost anyone! (except Yoshi or peach, wierd feel to them)
