Brawl: Who's Your Favorite?

Mar. 15 12:07 AM by Alicia Ashby

Everybody, even the Washington Post, likes Brawl. There's a good chance that even your girlfriend likes Brawl, because it's just so easy to pick up and play.

So how are the character tiers shaking down in your homes? Who are the favorites and the anti-characters? Where I am, Samus and Zelda are frequently treated as "too good" characters; being able to effectively swap movesets mid-combat between their two forms seems to dominate the game. No one's really trying anti-character stunts yet, but Metaknight is pretty popular when desperation sets in.

I'm especially wondering if you're noticing any characters handle SSE's platforming sequences better than others. Right now Kirby seems to have an easier time ferreting everything out of a stage than anyone else. Which makes sense--a lot of the SSE level design is very similar to a Kirby game, and just runs into the problem of most characters not being Kirby.

The first game I remeber beating is Kirby's Adventure, so naturally I love Kirby. He's my favorite character and I'm pretty good with him in Brawl. I think my second best would probably be Toon Link.Yeah, I also noticed Kirby was the better person for the SSE out of any other character.

 

Mario, Ike, and Sonic are my favorites. One all around character, one strong character, and one speedy type.

 

I've always loved Pikachu, personally. It's been my best character since the original. But I find myself moving towards King Dedede now. Not only do I love his moves and personality, but Kirby's Dreamland was the first game I ever completed, so the first final boss character I ever defeated holds a lot of nostalgia for me, especially since several of his attacks are the very same ones that cost me so many lives all those years ago. Not to mention his super-catchy theme song, burned into my memory after all those hours trying to beat him before my Game Boy's four AA's could die.

 

My favorite character is Olimar; there's just so many great ways to use his moves!

 

My top characters have to be:
1. Kirby
2. Peach (for some reason I do best with her)
3. Sonic

 

1. Luigi

2. Ike

3. Mario

4. Kirby

5. Lucario

 

I always use Link. I just think he has some really awesome varied moves and it's my favourite character from Nintendo.
