So I’m having a difficult time trying to decide on a good secondary to supplement my Lucina. I thought I’d make a thread asking you guys for help and to have a general discussion on any of your secondaries and why you chose them. I’ve sorted the potential candidates into three categories ordered first to last within their categories.
Characters I like
Daisy, Wario, Yoshi, Snake, DK, Kirby
These are characters I play that I enjoy the most, besides my main. Daisy, Wario, and Yoshi top the list for similar reasons. They have good combo potential, they have good aerial mobility to avoid projectiles, and they edgeguard pretty well. I especially like Daisy but playing her well demands a lot of time and practice so I’m not sure if she makes a good secondary for that reason alone. Snake is probably my second best character currently but I’m not sure that he supplements Lucina well. Also, my Snake is pretty gimmicky.
Characters I kinda like
Olimar, Fox, Young Link, Toon Link, Cloud, Samus, Diddy Kong, Jiggs
These are characters I play but not as often as the first group. Olimar tops the list but I’m probably the best with the Links right now. Olimar and Fox are both characters that a large part of the cast has a hard time dealing with. The only problem with most of the characters in this group is they don’t always mesh well with my playstyle.
Characters that I think have potential.
Mewtwo, Pichu, Pikachu, Inkling, Megaman, Metaknight, Pit, Greninja, Lucario, Link, Rob, Wolf, Shulk, Wii Fit, Ness, Mii Swordfighter
These are characters that I don’t play much or at all but I think have real potential. Mewtwo is the one that I’m most considering because he fits just about every category I want in a secondary. He has good speed, a projectile, range, edgeguarding, anti-zoning, kill power, and combo potential (though that was slightly nerfed since Smash4). I just don’t play him at all. Inkling is the character that I’ve played the most out of this group but so far my results have been mostly mixed. I’ve played Mii Swordfighter some because of the stupid kill combo and its general combo potential, but I don’t really like the character outside of that. A lot of the other pics are there because I think that the current meta is undervaluing them and they would be a good surprise pic. Greninja, Lucario, Megaman, Pit, Metaknight and Wii Fit are the ones that fall into that category. I just don’t have any experience with any of them and I’m not sure they would suit my playstyle.
So let me know what you guys think and tell me about your current secondaries.
