I'm a chubby chaser.

Heavy is the best.

I'm not too good with heavy-class characters. I need to be quick on my feet when I can and don't want to take too much damage. Charizard might be my exception though. I'm decent with him/her.

With Ganondorf being my main, I'd have to say heavy.

Even though Ganondorf has a terrible recovery, it's still nice to be able to survive strong hits.

Ugh i cant stand playing as a heavy character. Im so used to zipping around the stage and being where i want, when i want. Power isn't too important to me

I am a fan of heavy/medium characters, being a DK main and Luigi second. I like to last forever and deal ungodly amounts of damage.

I do enjoy a bit of Kirby though.

yeah, wario's considered a heavy, although he fights totally different from the typical heavy style
He is for those who like aerial characters being able to take many hits/having eay time killing or for those who want a small heavyweight. His killing power is pretty good as well, which also defers to other aerial characters, being stronger (plus Fart kills very early) and much easier to land a kill move.

I generally main lightweights. ICs, Kirby, MK...

Trying to play Snake (he's a really fun character, but I kinda suck with him...).

I use a lot of lightweight characters (Toon Link, G&W, Pikachu, Ness) because of their speed, floaty-ness, and combo-iness.

I can't play big/heavyweights worth a crap. They just feel slow and clunky to me.

I prefer light characters. Just because they move to a speed I like (usually). Examples being Fox, Marth, Luigi (is he light?), Falco, Pikachu. I do play some heavies though, like Ganondorf and Snake.

Light characters, I am a Diddy main after all.

I always feel more in-control, and quick.

I do however enjoy Dedede and Snake.

Light, because they're usually fast. I prefer fast small characters over slow and huge characters anyday.
