there are so many ways this conversation could go.... mario, ash ketchum, link, samus, master chief... the list goes on and on. one might be the most widely recognized, the most popular. one might be the oldest. one might be the toughest, the best fighter. the fastest. the strongest. the worst.
just put all of your opinions here and keep the discussion going.
I don't like Link, Luigi, or Cpt. Falcon in brawl either. I don't know exactly what it is but I can't hit anyone with them. I'm terrible with them. I mainly use Marth, Gandalf, Olamar, and Ike. Everyone I mentioned who I don't like in brawl I'm amazing with in Melee. Especially Cpt. Falcon
Link is the best, an icon of Nintendo, very class and powerful with many items (bommerang, bombs, bow ...) each of theses games are awesome, all the Zelda games are awesome.
I think Gordan Freeman is the best silent protagonist of any video game character, because he saves earth but shows absolutely no emotion about it. Kind of like a silent ******.
