Who Is Your Favorite Super Smash Bros. For 3DS Fighter?

by Game Informer Editorial on Oct 22, 2014 at 12:10 PM

Finding the perfect fighter for you in Super Smash Bros. 3DS can be a daunting task. Mastering the game’s massive roster of 49 characters, not to mention its occasionally wonky control scheme, demands time that not all gamers have. But now, after nearly three weeks with the new Smash Bros., I’ve found my main. What about you?

Prior to the game’s release, I was convinced my go-to character was going to be Little Mac. I’ve always had a fondness for the swifter characters, the ones who can get five hits in in the time it takes Ganondorf to make just one step forward. When I got the game, I found him to be too unwieldy for my tastes. I spent one too many a time flying off the stage before I decided to throw in the towel.

I soon turned my gaze to Greninja, whom I was skeptical of as a fighter despite him being a favorite of mine in Pokemon X and Y. But it only took a few matches with the amphibious assassin for me to learn how right we were for each other. Ever since then, it’s been a rad bromance filled with water shuriken and substitution dolls.

What about you? Who’s your main fighter in the new Smash Bros.? Was it the character you thought it would be, or did you find yourself surprised at who you wound up playing? Sound off in the comments.
