Do you prefer light or heavy characters?

[GTA_Hater_331]

I'm somewhat better with heavy than light characters. Most of what I need is attack power, because I can make short work of my opponents. With light characters like Purin, it takes far too long to score the KO.

It seems I prefer lighter characters. Not Jigglypuff light, though she is fun, but I play Marth, Zelda, Peach, and Fox the most. All of them are pretty light, but I have pretty different styles for each of them, so I think it's more just coincidence that I enjoy them than a specific preference for lighter characters. I do dislike slow characters, though, and speed does go with lightness pretty often. Zelda's not very fast at all, but the others are.

I think it's all that junk in the truck (and by junk I mean her weapons. Obviously ).
She also ways more than Zelda, Sheik and Marth, the only other characters that aren't very small.

I love your avatar and sig. A lot! <3

Lol you got me there at first about the junk in the trunk joke
I understand Zelda/Sheik but didn't see her weighing more then marth though.

Lol thanks, I'm a big fan of E,E' 'n E. I think I've spread my Edism's in the pool room cause a few folks have been posting stuff about the show as well. I'm such a Ed-boy

I prefer heavies. Light characters are too weak for me and die too easily, though exceptions are Falco, G&W and Marth. I like more power over speed. I suck with weak characters and I like to live into ridiculous percentages that's why prefer heavies.

 

[Zario777]

G&W is my favorite light weight, but he dies to quick 4 me, so I usually pick DK instead because he is a fast heavy weight.

 

[Rapid_Assassin]

I prefer speed, and most of the faster characters are light.

 

[smashkng]

G&W is my favorite light weight, but he dies to quick 4 me, so I usually pick DK instead because he is a fast heavy weight.

Learn to Bucket Brake and DI with G&W and he is no longer easy to KO, especially when knocked from far.

 

[M-WUZ-H3R3]

I main Jigglypuff, who is the lightest character in the game.

Yes I liek dem. I liek dem very much .

 

[FUNKLAB]

Light characters usually combo better, therefore; lightweights ftw =D

 

[thekingsdinner666]

My mains are lightweight, but my backups are mid weight or heavy.
To be exact,
Mains=Diddy, Tink
Back ups= Falco, DK, D3, Ike

 

[F.T.D.]

Most of the characters I use are light to mid weight. So I guess light.

 

[Kinzer]

Heavy is always a good thing.

The difference is how fast they fall and how overall slow they are.

 

[Kamikaze*]

Light. Heavies are always slow as ****, and that's not my style.

 

[Green_Swirl]

I primarily use light/mid-light characters (with the exception of Snake). It's not really a preference, just most of the characters that fit my playing style happen to be on the lighter side. It's weird, I noticed most of my friends use heavy characters.

 

[zeldspazz]

I like how people make the generalization that lightweight = fast attacks/combos. Zelda is one of the lightest ppl in the game and defidently does not fit that style. Just a thought.

Anyway, I guess I prefer lightweights since I main Zelda/Sheik, who is very lightweight, and Pit who is at the lower part of mid-weight.

 

[RuNNing Riot]

Oh, heavyweights are all I need. They survive for ages, most hit hard, and some of their recoveries aren't too shabby, like King Dedede's. There are only four heavies I don't main - Samus, Yoshi, Wario and R.O.B.. Oddly, all of them are very floaty.

Ganondorf is my favourite heavyweight due to his lack of multi-hitting moves.

 

[Hive Mind]

Definitely light.
One bullet seed can really turn you around.

 

[Supamahn]

Light for sure. I prefer speed over power and Heavies feel like I'm fighting using a cow. Just too slow.

 

[blairz08]

light characters all the way =)

 

[StarChaserNX]

I like my characters to be light and speedy. Better to be actually able to hit the target and better to dodge damage than to take it.

Although I have been known to use an occasionally heavy for fun, such as Link or Ike.

 

[The Cunning Weasel]

I prefer light characters but I main Snake who is like the third heaviest in Brawl. I use Lucario, Kirby and MK sometimes.

 

[smashkng]

DK actually moves fast. For those who like weight, range and power but also mobility, chose him. Snake is a slow moving character. Why do people who prefer mobile characters choose Snake but not DK?

 

[AeryEcho]

Although I tend to play lighter characters, I have no problem with weight differences or even speed differences, sometimes. For me, it's the size of the character that gets me: I can't get used to being 3 times larger than I usually am, so I end up as a magnificent punching bag when I'm Dedede, DK, Bowser, etc. :D

 

[Y05H!]

I really don't have a 'weight' preference, more of a character pref. Yosh is my main, secondary is Pika and 3rd would be D3. Whichever i feel like playing at the time.

 

[SupahLink]

I try to use both to kinda balance it out, but most of the time I prefer lighter characters.

 

[Arora]

Heavy they live longer

 

[Aus0115]

I like both

 

[★Malik★™]

it doesn't matter to me.

 

[Pony]

Light n' floaty

 

[Chibilicious]

i prefer mid to light cuz im used to making combos high in the air, and heavyweights don't get the job done.
i also hate how it feels when ur gettin *****.

it fells like it shouldnt take so long.

 

[BlueHurricane]

I tend to favor the heavier guys, although I don't really like the fat and heavy guys, AKA Dedede, DK, etc.

 

[Ninja Kirby Nick!]

Hmm...Lightweights are easy to be KO'ed, but can set up some pretty mean combos...Besides, it's very hard to kill my Kirby sometimes xD

 

[smashkng]

Heavyweights aren't worse than lightweights at all. Snake, Wario and Dedede are all in the S tier. If you people get comboed, you don't Air Dodge. Almost all combos are escapable in Brawl. The problem is not getting comboed, it's being a big target and being chaingrabbable. But you have range, power and KO resistance as advantage of being heavy.

 

[Leekduck]

I like heavy characters that arent slow moving, and light characters that are medium speed

 

[choknater]

hm these days i like the heavies. i've been doing very well with snake and ddd lately

 

[codfish92]

heavy characters seem to reward good DI'ers more than their lighter counterparts.

 

[krazystitch]

I prefer light characters a lot more cause they're faster!

 

[Leisha]

I would say in between, light chars get k.oed too easy and I'm terrible with heavyweights usually =P

 

[Moozle]

Most of my mains and secondaries are light, so I guess that means I like lighter characters. Probably because they (for the most part) have better mobility.

If you play Peach, she has much worse mobility than DK, a superheavyweight.
