Olimar because I really like Pikmin. And Greninja because he's neat and was my starter in X/Y.

And Ganondorf but he's everyone's favorite so that doesn't really need to be mentioned.

Captain Falcon is my favorite fighter thematically and stylistically. I feel like he's the character who embodies the spirit of smash bros the most. Also it's impossible to fight dishonorably with the Falcon and everyone wants you to win.

luigi is the ultimate troll character. so many moves with tragic flaws that are ridiculously powerful in the right situations, and all the animations are hilarious.

Why does everyone think I'm going to get in trouble?

Robin is my favorite character. He may not be a great character overall, but I manage to eke out wins anyway with her and it just feels so satisfying landing Levin Sword hits.

Protoman when they reveal that the mii dlc armor was a joke and put him in the game

i get that the reason they went with elec man as an assist trophy was because he was the first robot designed by inafune, but not going with proto man and having his appearance signaled by the whistle was huge missed opportunity imo

I finally decided to vote for Mallo from Pushmo. He deserves to be a fighter, and he will be. I wish I could vote again so I could vote for more Mii fighter styles.

National tragedy.
I was at a con recently that had a 200 person smash tourney in which I played as an exhibition 8th man in the clusterfuck rounds. I picked Village because the gyroid special is hilarious to me. I was easily in the bottom 10% of the field but that was okay because I was essentially comic relief. After getting my rear end kicked for over two hours I thought "hey maybe learning this game would be fun".

So my question is this, if I want to be a villager main or whatever, am I setting myself up for a
painful experience? I'm still really bad and only win 1v1s against level 9 PCs like 30% of the time but I don't know if part of it is me being utter trash or if the character is a bit under tuned. I feel like my grab move takes about a million years to do its animation which seems bad.

Villager is quite good. He's not one of the three top tiers but definitely isn't going to get you any weird looks at tournaments or whatever.

Speaking of tournaments I played in a P:M one yesterday and lost first round (single elim). In my defense I lost to the guy who went on to take 4th but I'm still insanely salty

Villager is a bit of two categories: an usual character that takes a lot of getting used to but with a big payoff, and a character that requires a near-constant barrage of projectile spamming. Really, the only painful experience will be suffered by the people fighting you.

Also you generally shouldn't go for grabs as Villager unless you're absolutely sure you can hit. The delay is downright brutal.

Villager is the Literal Devil to fight against

Get in the habit of using his aerial moves a lot -- particularly forward and backward air.
