Switched Mains

[Brango]

Ok this might be long and please relocate this if this is the wrong place, new here lol. Ok so my previous mains were Marth and Falco. Marth in Melee and Falco in Brawl. When Sm4sh came out, I wanted to go back to my first main man: Marth. Well, things didn't work out so well. I'm really TRYING to get used to this version of Marth but it's so different, pretty sure it's cuz I haven't played Marth since Melee. So I decided to go with my Brawl main: Falco.

Falco is well.....ugh, I mean I guess you can make him work but I personally can't. His lasers and his down air is just.....I don't wanna talk about it. Now this may be cuz of me trying I get used to the 3ds or maybe they really changed those two characters. So started to take in some suggestions...

People suggested Lucina as an alternative to Marth. I played her, and it WAS easier cuz you don't have to worry about spacing but kept trying to tip cuz was so used to Marth back then. Then few said Little Mac cuz of his amazing ground game. While I liked him at first, I was getting annoyed how awful he was in the air.

After trying most characters, I came across Bowser. Now, I never used Bowser before nor have I liked him. I always thought of him as this hulking brute who had many flaws in previous games. But when I tried him, I KNEW they changed him for the better. Like holy cow. That back air and forward smash? Jeez. He's a heavyweight character, but is very agile in this game. Now I know I'm not using him at his full potential, but I am starting to like him. Anyone knows any useful tips as a beginner Bowser player? Looking forward to hopefully main him, which is a shock cuz never in my life that I would think to use a heavy class character in smash before
Thanks, much love

If you're a Melee Falco or Brawl Falco, chances are you aren't going to like Sm4sh Falco. They took away what everyone loved about him in the previous game just to make his recovery harder to SD with. I was a Brawl and PM Falco, and this iteration of Falco is really disappointing. Lagless lasers were all the rage and now I'm not even sure they're viable anymore.

Marth is more or less the same, but nerfed. I don't know specific nerfs, but he does feel worse this time around. Lucina is pretty cool, although no tipper may make her seem like a bad character in comparison to Marth.

Bowser is a beast, literally and figuratively. He pretty much has no flaws that he once had other than large size, which still doesn't affect him as much here as it did in the other games.
