Well then! I guess, with a new topic, comes a new explanation.
Since I recently had a Brawl with Jonno over Wi-Fi (which was good fun, despite him thumping me out of my rusty state with Marth), I've basically changed my lineup by shaving it down to three characters. In the following order:
First:
Ice Climbers
I've mained the Ice Climbers since I played Melee. I love their playstyle, and personally, the nostalgia factor was a HUGE draw in picking them out in the first place. Ever since, I've practically started tailoring my entire strategy to work out around playing as ICs, as evidenced in my match against Jonno (where I played as Olimar and repeatedly used the down special out of habit :5 ). These guys have a special place in my heart, and apparently in my muscle memory as well~
Second:
Pikmin and Olimar
Almost as unique as the Ice Climbers, I typically used Olimar because none of my friends did, and eventually I started to trump them with my good old army of Pikmin. While I've never actually
played Pikmin or its sequel, I am enamoured with their Brawl playstyle and the strategy that comes with it, earning them a solid second place spot in my mains list.
Third:
Wolf
Wolf is the oddball of my list. The other two were picked for their unique and unparalleled playstyles in the game, but Wolf is more or less a clone of Falco and Fox. I like Wolf alot better than his protagonist fur- and featherballs because he has more power, and a much better recovery with his side special. This suits my playstyle well, because I like to jump around alot, which tends to end me up falling to my death. Luckily for me, Wolf can usually recover unless he is actually smashed away, giving him a chance to work with my chiselled Ice Climber style.
