Smash Ace
Update, refer to the second paragraph. Use this method now, and update your previous data with a new post when possible. Thanks!
Looking around, there have been multiple surveys, but none as simple as "who do you play". This was originally made in 2.1 by Ellondu on the old Smashmods forum here, and it was both interesting and informative, while remaining simple. I will be doing this one much like his was, but with one or two changes.
What you can do: Post in this thread with the following information: Your smash name, and list your characters with a value next to them. These values must add to 6+2 times the number of characters you play, with no character being over 8. When deciding the character you will list, please try to restrict it to characters you would be comfortable using seriously/in a tournament/competitive environment; eg. If you love using Zelda against people in friendlies, but would never touch her for anything serious, please refrain from listing her. Decimals will be accepted, but flat numbers are easier to use
. Finally, if you have two most used characters, try to label who you would consider to be your main.
Meaning;
1 character=8 points total
2 characters=10
3 characters=12
4 characters=14
And so on.
Example of new format:
GMaster171
Ness: 6 (main)
Wolf: 4
ZSS:2
Because I play 3 characters, the values must add to 6+3(2) or 12, and they do.
Now, using this data, I will compile two lists. One will be of mains only (the character with the highest value, or the one labelled as your main). This will serve to show only who the most popular main in the cast is currently. The second list will be one of overall popularity, adding the values from all positions on all the lists. This one will serve to show who is the most popular character in the cast overall.
If you need to edit what you have listed, please make another post instead of editing your old one. Characters obviously need to be available in the current demo, it doesn't matter how much you want to play Yoshi as this is a current popularity list. Posting info of others will be accepted, just make sure its accurate, as to not skew the data due to assumptions. Depending on how fast this goes, I will compile and list data either ever 25 or 50 submissions. This may not be overly useful for everyone, but it will still be an interesting list, and because I plan to do all the work, it wont take any more of your guy's time than needed
Tl;Dr post your name, and characters you use with values from 1-8 adding to a full 6+2 times the number of characters you play.
Hope this goes well, take 10s to post, tell your friends. If it seems I have stolen your idea in doing this, I apologize, but will continue (why would you complain about someone else doing the work?). Ellondu said he had planned to do one for 2.5, but I haven't seen him around, so...
Suggestions on stuff will be noted as well, first time I have compiled anything like this. Just tell me if anything is unclear and I will try to make it better.

We now have as many (more in fact) responses than the original thread had. This is amazing, and the data is actually very interesting. I do ask that you continue posting, yours if you just saw this thread, or others if you know their characters, as the more data we get, the better it will be. I will most likely update this more often now, as I know it will slow down after 100. I’m planning to do every 25 now. Couldn’t have done it without you guys, thanks again.
Update 2013-04-02: First list is created using 55 points of data. Keep it up guys :D
Update 2013-04-18: List revised with 104 points of data. Amazing, keep going.
Update 2013-04-24: Data collection process changed to somewhat prevent skewed data from mono-character players.
