Wow, it’s like you think if you type with no spaces I won’t analyze you :).

Is that actually one of the reasons you like playing with Samus? In that suit, she could be a dude with beefy shoulders for all you can see..

I stopped using Samus when Melee came out because my friends though I was TOO AWESOME (read: cheap) when I used her in the N64 original.

That said, I still like her. She’s got a devastating final smash, doesn’t fly off the stage too easily, and I dig her mixture of basis and special attacks.

Is Samus an “old mainstay” or just an old crutch? I mean, I know you can kick my ass with her, but I’m looking for an excuse for that not to be my fault :).

In general, it raises the question, is it somehow cheating to stay with the same character all the time?

I’ve been resorting to my old mainstays of Falco and Samus, although I do enjoy playing as Pokemon Trainer (or, more specifically, Squirtle).

There are a handful of characters I still haven’t unlocked, so I’ll have to see how I feel about them. I hope to have at least one non-Melee character in my repertoire, just for the sake of mixing it up.

And they’re going to use it all up before your Wii gets fixed :). Seriously, I *still* play Melee. There are years of Brawl fun to come, no worries!

To be honest, I still haven’t given Olimar much of a try, though I hear he’s fun. I think I have this Ice Climbers syndrome, where, if a character is too cute, I assume they’re a pain in the butt. Then again, Pikachu is pretty darn adorable, and he occasionally kicks electric ass :).

I’m desperately waiting for a copy of brawl to fall in my lap as I’m severely underfunded this month. I really want to play as Olimar, see how Ness plays on Brawl as well as Marth. The mainstays should be interesting too however, such as Kirby, Link and Zelda (never was a Princess fan)
