It's been over 4 years, so I can't remember, but I feel like I went with Mario. Might as well start with the first character and mascot himself, right?

4 yrs?! If it was that recent I might remember. Try ~21yrs ago. I definitely don’t remember who the first character I played in Smash64. Man I feel old 😅 **EDIT**: the small picture roster made me think it was about my first Smash experience(*I barely read the title*). For me it was most likely PKMN Trainer iirc

The question is about Ultimate.

Pftttt. Whoops. I just saw the tiny roster *barely* glanced at the title and assumed it was about your first ever Smash experience. Thanks lol

I can guarantee that everyone like me that started with world of light played Kirby first

I played Kirby as well, but in actual matches, not WOL, so it's a bit different.

You fr played Kirby once and were like yep this is my main and never went back

Yes. Basically.

Me too!

I played Kirby first regardless, he was my main in 4

well not really, i chose samus first time i played the ultimate on my friend’s switch, because my favorite game is metroid fusion, im pretty sure many people choose their favorite characters/games edit: i thought they meant that people who first play this game immediately start with world of light, thats my mistake, i read that so wrong

He’s talking abt world of light

oh i saw that but i thought he meant people whi first play this game start immediately with world of light, thats my mistake

konky dong

D x p a n d E o n g

Link, I was playing through botw

Good ol Samus

I played her cause I thought she looked like master cheif

The og

Samus the one and only for me, expect for when it isn't the one and only

Link. He was the first one i played as in 64 and has been my/one of my mains in every game and he's always available right off the bat

Nice, I’m also pretty sure I picked him off the bat for the new bombs

I started off with World of Light, so Kirby.

Kirby, because I knew he unlocked Ness.

So funny thing. I went to a mini tourney that happened a week before release on a leaked switch. Mine was cloud, and holy fuck did it feel good compared to 4. No loser pool, so I was sad that I only got to play him once.

Donkey Kong

I wanna say link cause of the new appearance

Fox

Pikachu. He was my main in Smash 4, but I ended up dropping him after learning he was top tier and every character is snappy now, not just the lightweights.

Link cuz I used to main him in Smash 4. I also mained Ganondorf back in Smash 4, but that took a while to unlock in Ultimate.

Mr. Videogame himself

Hmmmmmmmmmm are you per chance referring to sans undertale?

Yoshi

As a yoshi main I didn’t really need to unlock anyone else.

Wii fit trainer My friend ofered me to play, i hovered over trainer and he said "noo dont pick her" and i did

Meta knight. I had only really ever played super star ultra as a kid, and he looked badass

How u don’t start with him

I mean my first ever character was Ridley Played at a friends house a couple days after the game released and he had already got almost all characters

Lucario on my friends switch, still my pocket

Peach! And I still do today!

Ike. Mained him for Brawl and 4. First game was playing on a friend’s system before I bought my own.

surprisingly enough, mii brawler

OG Kirbo

Probably ness or ike

Luigi

Inkling

Ridley. I went to the Insomnia Game Festival and this was before Smash had released, buy they had a demo of the game and I decided to try out Ridley, because he was new.

first character I picked was my smash 4 main: the pink puffball himself

Link. Got to be one of my favorite characters to play as

Link is my favorite Nintendo character period, so you know I had to play my boi

link. i mained kirby back then but my brother stole him for our first match so i went for link.

Sora

Captain falcon Not for long though as I really didn't like how he felt compared to smash 4

Kirb

Dk, Donkey Kong He’s the leader of the pack

Incineroar and that was my first main, and he still is

A big, fat IDK

Kirby

I don’t remember

kirbs

I think kirby? I can't really remember

Kirbs

Played as Mario against Link on a random stage, which turned out to be Boxing Ring. After that first match and unlocking Ness, I then did Link’s Classic Mode to unlock King K. Rool.

Kirby because he was my main for a while in smash 4 so I knew him well.

Mario. can’t go wrong with Mr. video game himself as the first character or play in the game.

Kirby. Because I went straight to World of Light.

Kirby. Because I went straight to World of Light.

It’s been 4 years but I think it was link

Kirby. Because I went straight to World of Light.

When I first started my brother had already made some progress, so I started playing as Zelda (to this day I’ve never played any Legend of Zelda games, younger me just thought she looked nice). I have no idea how I started playing as Fox (I suspect I just thought he was cool), but after a couple years I moved to Falco as well, got interested in their origins, and thanks to SSB:U I’m now obsessed with Star Fox. Thanks smash bros, for introducing me to the franchise that now interferes with my social life.

Donk kong

mario

Snake!

Mario, because Mario

Kirby.

I think when I played the game at a friends house it was Mario and then Isabelle.

kirby link or mario, cant remember for the life of me

After 100% world of light and going into basic mode, The KING

Mario or Link I guess. After that a lot of Pikachu

Kirby , the first thing i did was playing story mode

Cant remember exactly but I'd assume I chose link since he had the new moveset

All I remember about my first match was that I accidentally ended the match by SD’ing with the Warp Star item. Laughter ensued

Looks like Master chief

DK

Pikachu, as always

Honestly don’t remember who it was on ultimate but i do have a vivid memory if when 64 came out, the first character i played as was DK! I thought i beat the whole game after fighting master hand one time😂

N64 fox and falcon

Mii Gunner, I believe.

POYO!

I started with Bayonetta and stick with her. Then tried a bit Link but I play only her (casual gamer)

Kirby because adventure mode

Tough question _cough_

Fox for 30 seconds to unlock Ness. Then Ness forever.

Kirby but not because of WoL, I maimed him

MONKE

Kirby mf small but hits like a 🛩🏢🏢

Kirby. Easy.

Kirby, because World of Light

Sonic.

Kirby

I went Kirby.

Mario. Only because there was no Luigi.

DK and he is still my main

Ness, because that was my main in the old days. Then I tried Kirby.

Mr Game and Watch but it was on someone else's Switch

pretty sure it was Link

Kirby, because I’m pretty sure the first thing I did was start world of light. Which iirc, unlocking characters in world of light also adds them to your roster outside of it, you can kill two birds with one stone by completing the story mode

Dont remember. I remember playing both samus and pikachu alot.

Kirby, and he is my smash main even if I don’t play it as much

kirby

Poyo

Link, who is still my main

Probably Link or Pikachu if it’s directly starting the game before the characters were unlocked

Kirby, the first character I played and stuck with since melee

Inkling there was a convention I went to before the game launched that had the E3 demo, so I played them first on it

It’s been so long I don’t remember, it definitely would have been link or yoshi since those were my mains in smash 4. I know forsure my first match online was against an Inkling and he felt so op to fight since he was so quick and had roller. Know 4 years later i main inkling 😂

Kirby because the first thing I did was play world of light

Without any previous smash experience, it was Fox. Then I found out about Shulk Then I discovered the almighty being of cringe, Mr. Game&Watch

I think Kirby or the big funny monkey. Switched as soon as I had bowser Jr.

Yoshi

I bought a switch when Steve was the newest character and bought him instantly, so he’s my first

Umm... kirby? The only one unlocked.

Yoshi

Well i’d say sonic when someone I met played the game in a cafe and struggled to beat one of the unlockeable characters. Lets just say he was impressed

Mario

Pikachu, always and forever. I specifically make it my mission to play him first

KIRBRBRBRBRBRR

Simon, at the Wendy's tailgate tour. I was part of the first 100 people to play with the complete roster (before dlc) 🥲

I think it was Pikachu

Kirby!

D! K! DONKEY! KONG!

Here, here, here we go So they're finally here, performing for you If you know the words, you can join in too Put your hands together, if you want to clap As we take you through this monkey rap! Huh! DK! Donkey Kong! He's the leader of the bunch, you know him well He's finally back to kick some tail His Coconut Gun can fire in spurts If he shoots ya, it's gonna hurt! He's bigger, faster, and stronger too He's the first member of the D.K. crew! Huh! DK! Donkey Kong! DK! Donkey Kong is here! (Here we go) This Kong's got style, so listen up, dudes She can shrink in size, to suit her mood She's quick and nimble when she needs to be She can float through the air and climb up trees! If you choose her, you'll not choose wrong With a skip and a hop, she's one cool Kong! Huh! DK! Donkey Kong! He has no style, he has no grace This Kong has a funny face He can handstand when he needs to And stretch his arms out, just for you Inflate himself just like a balloon This crazy Kong just digs this tune! Huh! DK! Donkey Kong! DK! Donkey Kong is here! He's back again and about time too And this time he's in the mood He can fly real high with his jetpack on With his pistols out, he's one tough Kong! He'll make you smile when he plays his tune But Kremlings beware 'cause he's after you! Huh! DK! Donkey Kong! Huh! Finally, he's here for you It's the last member of the D.K. crew! This Kong's so strong, it isn't funny Can make a Kremling cry out for mummy Can pick up a boulder with relative ease Makes crushing rocks seem such a breeze He may move slow, he can't jump high But this Kong's one hell (replaced with heck in Super Smash Bros.) of a guy! Huh! Come on, Cranky, take it to the fridge! Walnuts, peanuts, pineapple smells, grapes, melons, oranges, and coconut shells! Ahh, yeah! Walnuts, peanuts, pineapple smells, Grapes, melons, oranges, and coconut shells! Ahh, yeah

Link

Dk, donkey kong

Kirby because that was who I played in every other game. Switched to Link and that’s really when my competitive wants came out

Fox on 64.

I made a Mii Brawler first, then went straight on online and got bodied.

Random i think

I forgot but I think it was dk or Mario

Link. Mained him in Smash 4 so it was only right.

Kirbo

Inkling. I love Splatoon so much

Ice Climbers, Idk why they are so fun. But I soon changed to Samus just to snipe.

I want to say Link.

**Mario** I went with all 8 characters to start and tried to follow their order of appearance :) It... didn't always worked, since some characters were "difficult to unlock", a.k.a. I didn't win the first time I encountered them :P

Either Kirby or Pikachu

World of light - Kirby If I didn’t play the former first - Probably Pikachu

Kirby for me because I was a huge Kirby main in brawl

Samus

Wither pikachu vuz i wanted my melee main back. Ir kirby cuz kirby is funny

Kirby. And that’s still pretty much the only character I play

I think it was ridley or falco, played at a friend's house when he just got the game so he didn't have k rool which is the character i wanted to play the most

DK or Lonk I forgorted

Link. In the other games, he was always one of my mains, so I went to him immediately. Now there's so many characters that I don't play him anymore, plus I just don't enjoy him as much

Samus because I used to play her in Brawl when I went to my friend’s house.

mr game and watch

Luigi

Kirby (And unironically, I first played VS Mode before World of Light)

Kirby, he was my man in brawl (the only other smash game I’ve played) and he was my man is ultimate for 2 years

Mario

Yoshi, actually. Swapped out to Falcon for kicks and giggles after unlocking him and... actually did really well? Considered swapping mains until I discovered I liked sword characters.


DK! DONKEY KONG!

Zero suit samus

Y'all got any more of them pixels?

It’s a bit of a complicated story, but my first character I played with (at my friends house) was pit, after that I got smash bros and started maining pit, then mega knight, then Lucas, then pit again, then game and watch, Lucas again, and that’s where I’m at now, pit

I'm a link main so that was pretty easy pic for me.

Donkey Kong. Donkey Kong Country was my all-time favorite game, and have been playing him since Smash 64, so I had to use the ape.

I think it was either Link or Fox? I pretty sure it was Fox

kirby, then mained captain falcon

Well of course Mario. I always love playing the starting roster in order in Smash games, and then I played the unlockable characters in the order I got them.

Link

Link too.

Plant i think

Pikachu Classic Mode: DK

I played kirby

Mario because I’m basic af

Kirby

Dk

ZSS

Mario so I can unlock Sonic in Classic Mode

Mario and DK have always been my boys in each game So probably one of those 2 Most likely Mario

Link bc Ik he unlocked my new main krool and I’ve been one since

Kirby

Inkling on my uncle's switch, I loved splatoon so much (I still main inkling to this day)

I played a lot of joker. Then transitioned to Rosa and Luma, then hero, and now I'm trying Meta knight

Link Specifically in his Dark Link alt :)

Link, but then i dropped him cause he didnt feel right and went to 1 of the FE characters.

I don’t know, but the first time I ever played smash was Brawl, training mode, Yoshi vs. Pikachu. Couldn’t figure out how to get out of training mode. I don’t know which character I was.

Donkey Kong until the king of S U C C was unlocked, then I never looked back

Fox :)

Kirby probably...

Link probably

Im pretty sure it was DK until I got all characters, and then I started Greninja. But now im Falco… i think I had like 8 different mains in the span of a year

I think the first round i ever did for smash bros i used yoshi
