Out of curiosity, who do you guys use as secondaries?

[Ryusuta]

I've been sort of experimenting with finding a new secondary that complements Yoshi, fits my playing style, and does relatively well in Yoshi's bad matches (which for me personally are Lucario, Marth, Zelda, and Game & Watch). As such, I've been toying around with a few characters, but I also wanted to see who you guys use predominantly when not bringing out the dinosaur.

Statistically, I'd say Game & Watch (and of course, Meta) would be my best choice, but I've also been considering using Pikachu, Samus, Mario, and Toon Link as my primary secondary.

Now granted, this is obviously an individual decision, but I thought I'd get some of your thoughts and opinions on who backs Yoshi up well.

 

[PRiDE]

I have fooled around with PT, Peach, and GaW (but GaW was tooo high tier for me to like.)

I don't know about you guys but I have like ZERO control over any character other than Yoshi.. I can't seem to play anyone else..

 

[Gindler]

Ness for singles and doubles. and samus for just doubles (that spike is too awesome)

Neither really cover yoshi's disadvantaged matchups at all but I can only play character I enjoy playing for some reason.

 

[JackieRabbit5]

thats a good question really, i'd like to see what other ppl say

personally i'm like a dual main, i use Yoshi and Sheik...Sheik does better against DK, DeDeDe, Wolf, and Ike i think. I should probably be more concerned with matchups and counterpicking strategies heh.

 

[bigman40]

I can use Pikachu, Mario, PT, Bowser, and Lucario as a secondary. Granted none of my secondaries are as close to my main in skill.

 

[zachisasian]

olimar for me. and i'm starting to pick up dk, peach, and bowser now.

 

[SOVAman]

for the most part fox


but


I really only use yoshi cuz yoshi is too good lol

QFT Yoshi mains don't need secondaries

 

[Ryusuta]

Man, it sounds like we're all a single breed, us Yoshi players!

Yeah, it's hard to have the same magic touch with anyone else that I do with Yoshi. I guess when you get down to it, a dedicated secondary is totally unnecessary. I think I just need a character to break up the monotony sometimes.

 

[Fingerp@ss]

... I think I just need a character to break up the monotony sometimes.

For that reason my secondary is a tie between Ganon and Wolf (gotta use one of the bad guys!)

True, my sig clears up what I meant by "secondaries"

 

[Poltergust]

Come on, you have to have a secondary for those bad match-ups. For me, I have Zelda, Toon Link, Ice Climbers (I don't chain-grab with them, I use them against chain-grabbers, though), Luigi, and for doubles DK, Ness, and Mr. Game & Watch.

 

[Tidycats29]

Sec.... on... dar.... ies? I don't understand the language you are speaking...

i sincerely loled at that post XD

my secondary is kirby for the most part
covers well

 

[Kress]

I almost never use my secondaries, I just use 'em when I'm tired of beating my friend's *** (with yoshi <_<)

But if I fight wihout yoshi, I'm most likely using luigi or olimar....

 

[YoshiIslander77z]

yoshi's fighting style is very different then like everyone elses but i find dk a good second

 

[Sharky]

I raaaaaaarely resort to anyone other than Yoshi, but if necessary, I'll break out the R.O.B., and once in a blue moon I'll use Link. The R.O.B.'s decent, but I don't camp enough with Link, I think. =P

 

[Yinlong]

i play a really spammy wolf

 

[ArowYoshi]

Pikachu, but he's only like half as good as my Yoshi

ill also fool around with Fox, and i just started to pick up DDD but those two are really just for fun, i cant take those two as seriously as Yoshi or Pikachu.

i go Yoshi all the way in tournaments!! Pikachu's never gonna have a chance to play.

 

[CluelessBTD]

I play a pretty serious Ganon, then Falcon when I sandbag. Jiggz when I'm REALLY sandbagging. Also, I switch to Metaknight to show people how broken he is because I don't even know how to use him and win anyway.

 

[DarkLeviathan89]

LOL, I've been on an endless quest to find a good secondary for me, but no luck. Right now I enjoy playing as (in no particular order) Kirby, Marth, Diddy, Luigi, and Mario, but I'm not all too good with any of them, or at least, not nearly as comfortable with them as I am with Yoshi.

 

[Bwett]

If you want to improve your Yoshi, a good secondary is G&W. Pick him up for a day, then the next day, play yoshi again. You will totally level up

Fox helps me do that to

 

[StarYoshi14]

Meh, I would say the only other character besides Yoshi that I would use in a competitive environment is PT. SQUIRTLE, IVYSAUR, CHARIZARD! 3 RAPERS IN ONE!!!!

 

[JawKnee~]

I main.. Game and Watch.
Secondary.. Tied for Wolf, Olimar, Ice Climbers, R.O.B., and Yoshi.

 

[rel_12]

lol I main Yoshi, which is my best
but I also main, Ness & Diddy

 

[DiscoShark]

Yoshi, Mario, Luigi, Peach.

All the good guys in super mario world rolled into one package.

 

[Snowstalker]

Dedede, Luigi, Bowser, Captain Falcon

 

[Chaco]

Half of the cast.

 

[jehonaker]

I'm going back and forth between Lucario and Yoshi as main/secondary at the present, with an assortment of characters mixed in.

I can honestly say that my Lucario is above-average...but that comes from maining Mewtwo in Melee and being used to their similarities.

Yoshi is fun, though, and he's probably my favorite to play as.

 

[Forsworn]

I go between Yoshi, Ness, and Sonic pretty seamlessly. Some days I'm better with one over the other, but Yoshi is my most consistent one.

 

[Airborne]

my only secondary right now is falco..... but i haven't used him in forever because i think if i work on a character that is harder to master, i'll become a better overall player..... and yoshi has his sex kicks....

 

[Naucitos]

i second DK, but i've been playing ness occasionally as well, PKT is too good

 

[bigman40]

Certainly learning Yoshi makes you better overall, but I've found out (thx to Chaco I think) that when you also play other characters, you develop a different playstyle with them. Not only that, you learn a few tips from those characters that makes your main stronger cause you found a few more tricks.

 

[Scarlet Jile]

Donkey Kong. :O

 

[TheSundanceKid]

1.Yoshi
2. Olimar
3. PT
4. Ike
5. MK =O

are you insinuating that we try MK?!?!?!?!

 

[bigman40]

No....I can't even play a decent MK. I'm saying try a few other characters that you like, just to get a few tricks from them.

i know, i know... i was just messing around XD...
