SSB For Wii U/3Ds: Who's Your Favorite 3rd Party Character To Play As?

[MicroJohn]

I'm here to ask a question. Who's your favorite 3rd party character? It has to be from the Wii U and 3Ds Super Smash Bros. Your choices are:
Sonic
Pac-Man
Mega Man
Ryu

Sonic the hedgehog, Because ya gotta go fast right? The reason i like him is because his game's is because he's a hedgehog my 4th favorite animal and he's blue...And it was my 2nd game to ever play soooooooooo ya. So i love how he's in smash bros his final smash isn't the best...

As awesome as it is having Pac-Man and Mega Man in the game,my favorite would be Sonic.
Although I tend to use Mega Man more than any of the other 3rd party characters,Sonic was one of the veterans I was hoping the most to return in the new Smash,and soon as I tought,he did!
Other than unquestionably being the fastest character,Sonic does have some balance gameplay changes since his appearence in Brawl,and because of that,he is much more stronger and manageable for combos than before,and,if you really want some daring combos,try using his Down-air as a meteor Smash and return to land safely,or just screw up your opponent whenever possible to grab and attack them in air or ground.I'm not often a Sonic main myself,but I do know about his potential in battle,when used in menacing ways.
It also helps because of the factor that he was one of my childhood mascots,with some fun memories from Sonic games I got at the time,like Sonic Rush.

Yeah. I feel he's better in Brawl though. But I do love him, my 2nd word I could say as a kid was "Sega!", my favorite Genesis game was Sonic 2, and he has awesome comebacks. But I think Mega Man is the best since, he can use his enemies' powers like from his game, he is in my favorite NES game series, and he's one of my favorite video game characters of all time. 'Nuff said.

The only third-party character I love is Sonic. But that's because I don't have Ryu. I have no firsthand experience with him but if I did, he'd probably be awesome, meanwhile Sonic seems... a bit hard to master. But he's the only TP character I've played with more sooo... what other choice do I have?

 

[Artisan]

Well it's a tough decision between Pac Man and Sonic (and because I can't choose both I have to say both) because Pac Man has an excellent neutral game all about distractions and spacing and avoiding your opponents attacks much like Duck Hunt, Villager, and Link however that can get annoying and risky in high level gameplay even though Pac Man is the best and easiest character to edge guard with since he's just so responsive and he's very balanced. Sonic is just plain hard to hit, has to play a campy try to predict what my opponent can't sort of strategy because he relies on a good neutral and with the moves he has he can do some decent shield pressure but his biggest weakness is a person who plays overly defensive so Sonic is forced to make fast reads and grabs to lead opponents to their destruction.

Mega Man! \: D/
I've always liked playing Mega Man from since the Smash 3DS demo and his movesets are just really useful and effective. I always find myself winning as Mega Man sometimes because of that really awesome Side Smash His recovery and other specials are also spectacular

 

[texanguy64]

Ryu for life. He is simply overpowered and wrecks all. His recovery is godly, his moves have no preparation time, except for his Focus Attack of course, he's really powerful and gets combos like no one else. (Except Mewtwo)

I like to play as Mega Man. At first I didn't like him because his games always got me mad. I couldn't make it to any Robot Master without having more than 2 deaths, which is how many lives you start off with. I decided to give him a shot, and he instantly became one of my mains. Despite him having so many move sets, he is one pretty unique character. In fact, I decided to give his games another shot.

 

[Usagi-mayu]

Pac-man, because who doesn't like hearing the satisfying waka-waka-waka?
I don't have much to say about Sonic, Mega Man, or Ryu. Ryu the most since I barely know about him, Sonic because... might seem silly but because of the fanbase. It pretty much ruined Sonic for me. Mega Man's fun, but dang man, gameplay-wise he's great but my mains are often characters that I have some attachment to.

Pac-man-boy, I used to love to play his original game on my 3DS that I got from Eshop. I had a hoot, trying to beat my high-scores. In SSB4, he's pretty fun to be! Especially love dropping fire hydrants on unsuspecting people.

 

[DrakeJericho]

Mega Man by far. Been a Mega Man fan since I was a child and his moveset is great!

 

[MicroJohn]

Wow! Megaman is currently winning!

 

[Slayerpon Tatsu]

Sonic, all the other characters are too technical for my liking

 

[TheFoolishJester]

My choice is undoubtedly Pac-Man.

His jank is so fun to use and abuse.
