Choose your weapon wisely.
First and foremost, we need to find you a character, or “main” as Smash players call them. This is the character you can always rely on as your best. With 49 characters total, and more on the way, this first task seems like a daunting one. Ask yourself one question: which playstyle do I prefer? Close-quarters brawls, long-distance attacks, or a healthy blend of the two? For Smash players who want in on the action right away, there’s no better choice then Mario. For long-distance smashers, I recommend Samus (she’s a damn fine brawler as well), and for those seeking a healthy balance of the two, Link.
Again, this is just a suggestion for those looking to pick their first fighter. Feel free to choose anyone who catches your eye. But there’s a reason why these fighters have been in every Smash game.
