How do you guys determine your TRUE main

Lv. 9 CPUs are too easy for me so I can't see how to find a main based off that. I like to look at convenience and what moves are fast damaging moves versus KO moves. Rosalina and Marth are great for this reason they are all about spacing and have very good knockback on all of their moves when used right. They have a lot of good options.

Tell me if the link doesn't work. ^ If it doesn't work just go to Youtube and look up a competitive guide by Zangoosinite. It's very helpful and is more broad so it explains the basic and mental advantages of using each character and looking for openings to attack. Rosalina suits me because she can punish really well in the air and can send people into the air (lighter ones notably) with a throw or dash attack which are both very fast and do decent damage which is better than average. And that Luma can punish recovering characters as well as provide protection when Rosalina is grabbed.

I was the same way to at first. I looked at all the franchise's and just thought of a character not as a strong character but as my favorite character in those franchises. Hehe mine was little Mac and I didn't even know how strong he was when I first started playing him. At least that's how I found my main,you'll find him(or her eventually). Happy smashing

For me, I usually main characters that I can do the following three things with:

1. Clear Classic on 9.0: I can never clear it with someone I stink at. People I'm good with, I can get to about 7.0, but not any higher. Only my true mains can take Master Core 9.0.

2. Clear All-Star on Hard: I personally find All-Star to be pretty easy usually, even on hard, when I'm doing it with one of my mains. With most others, I can still get hard, but with a considerable amount of difficulty.

3. Win the Majority of Online 'For Glory' Matches: I can win online battles much more easily, and much more often, when I'm playing as one of my mains.

Hope I helped out here! By the way, my two best mains are Marth (Tip hits make him more effective than Lucina for me.) and Pit (I just like him better than Dark Pit, being able to move his arrows more, and the like.).
