Bowser mains, what are your secondaries?

Well in Brawl and Melee, I always had a :4ganondorf:. Now when the game first dropped, was using :4wiifit:. She was the only character that I actually enjoyed. However, she seems like a character that should be mained instead of a secondary, and I feel my Bowser play is being hindered. So I'm planning on dropping her and going full King Koopa.

My secondary is :4drmario:: friends of mine asked me why did I choose him instead of Mario?
My answer is: MELEE NOSTALGIA! \o/
And I quite played well with him, but I wanna make sure if I played correctly.
How?
To fight good players! :D
The problem is I only play in 3DS, and most of people played with WiiU version. So that's kinda difficult to find a good player who sticked with a 3DS.

My secondary is :4mewtwo:

I think it helps to have a character with a different kit for attacking and defending, while staying big so that my shielding doesn't get too scrambled if I switch.

Still feeling Gdorf and D3 the most after Bowser. I've tried to like DK but something about him just doesn't feel right...

Also, I will be maining the f**k out of K.Rool if he is added to the game. He would probably be even heavier than Bowser...

I've been having hell for over a year finding a secondary for Bowser. At my local tournaments, the only characters that seriously give me hell are zoning characters like :rosalina:and :4villager:. I've thought about trying to use projectile reflecting characters like :4fox:or even :4palutena: but nothing has really sticked for covering these matchups. My playstyle is fundamentals based that rushdown is not advisable for me, but I'm extremely good with positioning. Would :4zss:supplement these matchup issues?

I dont play as bowser often but i main DDD & Ganon and also will 1000% main the hell out of K.Rool its what im hoping... i really hope he will be added.

Also i dont think sakurai will make him heavier than bowser...i think he will be somewhere between DK & DDD or between DDD & Charizard.

If i agree with that im not sure....
He should be 2nd heaviest or atleast tied with DK in weight.

I wish I could find some meaningful metric for comparison, but none of it ultimately means anything.

K. Rool has always been portrayed as 4-5X DK's size, unlike Bowser who has ranged from only slightly larger than Mario to the size of a damn castle. Again, that ultimately doesn't mean anything for how big they'd actually make him, though, but there's at least precedent for him being ginormous.

I hope he doesn't fall under the same heading as poor Ridley did (aka "too damn big")...
