Best character for being agressive?

[CR4SH]

I was wondering what character you guys think would be the best with a very aggressive play style?

Every game I play, I do so very downhill. I learned videogames with Sonic 1-3 and TFC as a scout (die 10 times, steal one flag and you break even). I understand that brawl is very campy and defense wins most of the time, but my experience is that this holds with almost all games and (sun tzu will tell you) almost all competitions. This just isn't my style.

Ive been playing smash since melee came out. I have played primarily with luigi but never competitively. In melee I usually just played against the computer, got to the point where i could take out a full team of 9's even though I never learned to use the block button. In brawl I play more people and much more competitively, I picked up defense, but as in all things I attack nearly all the time.

So which character should I go with? I want to be able to pressure and intimidate. Any and all help is appreciated! thanks!

Go with Meta Knight. I think he is pretty much the most offensive character in the game. If you don't like MK, I suggest a Fire Emblem character or Mr. Game and Watch.

 

[Boxob]

Sonic, Diddy, Jiggs.

 

[SummerObsession]

metaknight, hands down. His most effective agressive move would be his F-air

 

[Jazriel]

Mr. Old School, his bucket shuts down almost every campy character, and he's a top tier character. You still have to play smart, but he brings on the heat in most situations.

 

[SummerObsession]

Like jazriel Mr. Game and watch is also a good character to play aggressive, his aerials have great range and priority.

 

[Exia 00]

game and watch is the most aggresive imo

 

[Shuma]

And here i was about to say Wolf/Ganondorf.

 

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

Wolf might be a good option too. Fast smash attacks can sure make him very aggressive.

 

[~Master Geno~]

Marth of course! He's fast, powerful AND high tier.

 

[Demon Kirby]

I find Wario to be the most offensive.

 

[coldtrain]

marth because your air sword attacks hit anything around you in a 3 yard semicircle radius.

 

[NDUDE]

Meta Knight. Definitely. If you learn to use him fast (faster than he already is), you can seriously piss people off.

 

[brawlmaniac]

Sheik is pretty agressive too and is very quick

 

[Zook]

Go for gay men watch. That *****'s got some serious power, speedy attacks, and the Turtle.

 

[25%Cotton]

jiggs. great hitboxes and priority. really devastating offensively, but you have to be all over the place at the same time, making your opponents attack in all the wrong directions.

it's a pretty ultimate feeling, owning someone with an aggressive jigglypuff.

 

[MojoMan]

This may sound a little biased, but i think ike is rather aggresive. His up b is almost un edgehoggable, every one of his moves is completely offensive, all of them doing massively high damage, and he has an excellent reach (I just used it today to beat my friends Pit with a nicely timed up smash)

 

[Fatmanonice]

Have you ever fought an overly aggressive Metaknight? It's a scary thing. That dsmash is brutal and makes spotdodging against them extremelly risky.

 

[Banjodorf]

I find Wario to be the most offensive.

Yes, as his farting could offend a great many people

 

[D13]

Yes, as his farting could offend a great many people

lole

Metaknight is probably your best bet.

 

[DOCTORSTUPID]

Olminar Is Like Fighting Children Of The Corn

 

[Charizard92]

Squirtle and Charizard look like good candidates.

 

[Chris Lionheart]

Marth because he can be played in almost every possible way. He can control the entire battles tempo (especially if you can use him aggressively and defensively.)

Metaknight because a half decent Metaknight is as broken as my X-Box 360.
I hate Microsoft...

Gay Men Watch for the same reasons as Metaknight.

ZSS could be pretty agressive as well if your good at combo'ing.

I suppose Ike can be pretty aggressive as well as every move in his arsenal doubles as an attack. That is ofc with the exception of his shield (if you don't count shield grabbing), rolling, spotdodging, and airdodging.

Clearly Dedede, Rob, Olimar, and Snake are the most agressive characters. No doubt.

Spoiler

Fo realz, I find Fox to be aggressive. Although I have to play certain characters aggresively, otherwise it gets really boring for me.

I disagree about Dedede. He's much better as a defensive player. Play against a good Marth/Wolf to know what I'm talking about.

 

[Zodiac]

I personally perfer sheik for being aggresive, but then again, im just a very aggresive player.

 

[rayecho]

I would say wolf or wario.

 

[SummerObsession]

Using Marth out right aggressive isn't the best approach. I use him best when I'm mostly defensive by watching out for there mistakes and punishing them for them and throwing in a mix of aggresive F-air or dancing blades. Being outright aggressive with Marth is easily punished cuz you can get your F-air perfectly shielded and then smashed. And most his attacks if whiffed are easily punished so Marth needs to focus on good spacing and not outright spamming F-airs. In other words It's REALLY easy to beat an over aggressive Marths. But a well balance Marth, thats when he starts giving out the hurt.

Dedede, Olimar, and Snake also aren't too good being outrigth aggresive. DDD has range in his tilts to keep the enemy away and waddle dees to dish out some damage. Olimar plays defensively with his great range and pikiman throw. Snake has great map control with mines, but dosent jump into the fray to do damage like MK would do. He has to play smart to get the most out of his insane moves.

Use MK, Wario, and Game and Watch if you want to play aggresive.

 

[Rapid_Assassin]

Olimar can do both aggressive and defensive play, and the matchup and opponent's style determines which is more suitable. If you want to play him aggressively make sure you space really well, and it'll be harder for your opponent to punish your approaches.

Many other good choices were listed in this topic. The important part about aggressive anything is to space well, and learn what safe options you have for approaches.

Gay Men Watch for the same reasons as Metaknight.

Go for gay men watch.

Lol you guys made the same typo >_____>

 

[Eaode]

Lol you guys made the same typo >_____>

lololololol

 

[Sandoggg]

metaknight or marth probably..

 

[Chris Lionheart]

Lol you guys made the same typo >_____>

What typo? Thats his name isn't it?

 

[Puzzledrat]

MK is the poster child of aggressive play, he gets my vote.

 

[Red Leader]

I'd cast my vote for Sonic, just because that while his moves are lacking in the offencive power most aggressive players need, nobody in the game can move left, right, up OR down as quickly as he can. Speed, speed, speed!

 

[Stroupes]

If you want fast aggression, definately either Meta Knight, or Pit.
If you want power/damage aggression, go with Ike.
