My best character in the original super smash bros is Kirby and Fox. I haven't played melee in a long time so can't say. In Brawl, it's Shiek, toon link, and Kirby.
Whenever I play as Fox in brawl, I always accidentally shoot off the stage. Kirby is probably the best character in every Super smash bros.
I love kirby,pikachu, (kirby can abuse his float to make sweet combos) (pikachu can abuse quick attack to get to the foe faster) fox, falco, and, uhh. my 1337 master marth, and my kirby. kirby and marth are like the easiest to control and master.
How exactly does multiplayer work in SSBB? I've only recently hooked my Nintendo Wii to the internet. Is it over the internet? Do I need friend codes? Does the guy I'm fighting need to be sitting on the same couch as me?
My favourite characters in the single player story mode were Snake, Zelda and Yoshi. Snake because of his grenade throwing abilities and he has very fast hits, Zelda because she performs some awesome knock-outs and Yoshi because well . . . It's Yoshi.
I also like Metaknight for some reason. However, my ability to use him effectively is variable -- sometimes I annihilate every opponent in succession and other times every opponent annihilates me in succession.
In Super Smash Bros Melee, I always enjoyed the spaceship thing that allowed you to fire at the credits for extra characters. That was an awesome little feature to end the game on. In fact, it urged me to finish fights over and over again.
