Favorite Smash Bros. Melee characters?

[Raziel]

I used to be really partial to Shiek and Fox. Since I realized that Shiek is the easiest character in the game to win with, I've lost interest in her. And I just eventually came to the realization that I suck with Fox.

So, now I prefer using Ness (easily my best character), Samus (lots of great projectiles, and hard as hell to knock off), Mr. Game and Watch (some REALLY powerful attacks, annoying as FUCK to fight against), and Pichu (losing to Pichu is the MOST EMBARASSING THING IN THE GAME).

[GameCube]

i think losing to jigglypuff is also embarassing, if not more than pichu

[BlueCube]

Go PIKACHU go! That Thunder attack is tough. MARIO's not bad either...

[Raziel]

Yeah, but Jigglypuff has that NASTY Rest Attack. My friend Jeff has MASTERED it, and frequently sends me flying. Mario is alright. I can't quite get the hang of him.

[GameCube]

yea, i used jigglypuffs rest attack to beat event 51

hey i just got gamecube and ssbm. i am extremely happy with this purchase much thanx goes to raziel and his AMAZING site comiclegacy! the forums there convinced me to get this.
ok i have only played for like half an hour and i gotta say that ness is awesome! i love that lightning yoyo that you can contorol!
any tips with ness? oh and whats that electricity that he makes with down and B i think? i cant seem to do anything with it.

Well, first of all, Comiclegacy is Kaotic's site, not mine. I'm just doing my part to bring in more members.

As for playing with Ness, here's a few effective strategies.

1) Use his running psychic push (run + A) or his airborne psychic push (forward + A in the air) to rack up damage quickly, and to disorient your enemies for a second.

2) Learn how to use his triple jump. To do it, do a double jump, then use the PK Thunder attack in the air and hit yourself with it. It's a little tricky at first, but once you get it down it's a great recovery move. Also, it does LOTS of damage to an enemy if you hit them with your electrified body.

3) Two really effective knockout attacks are his baseball bat smash attack (smash left or right + A) and his psychic dropkick (backwards + A in the air).

4) Use his PK Magnet move (down + B) to absorb energy based attacks. If an enemy launches a fireball at you, or you see a Pokemon spewing fire, use the move to heal yourself.

Those are just a few tips on how to use Ness effectively. One of the most important things to remember about Ness is to balance his airborne attacks and ground attacks. Try and make it 50/50.

[GameCube]

yea, he is ok

[nickels2006]

I like fox because of his speed. I also like Roy because his sword is longer than link's and he has a lot of nice power moves and combos. What pisses me off is that falco is almost identical to fox but he is stronger and his pistol can stun.. kind of cheap.

[GameCube]

kirby and yoshi. they are both very agile

[sir.dennis]

GO MARTH!

[quikspy67]

ROY ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jamesadin]

Roy is definatly the best. His counter attacks, combos, and smach attachs cant be beaten.

[Raziel]

I prefer Marth. He's much faster and almost as strong.

[quikspy67]

ya
