Main: Difference between revisions

It is possible for a player to use more than one main character. Instead of having secondaries, some players use characters equivalently in conjunction with each other. In tournaments, multiple mains are more common with low [[tier]] mainers as they usually require more than one character in order to face difficult [[matchup]]s.

The sub-term ''character loyalist'' or ''character specialist'' refers to someone who mains specific characters throughout different ''Smash'' games with a degree of devotion, regardless of viability. Notable examples include {{sm|Hungrybox}} and {{sm|Larry Lurr}} who respectively use [[Jigglypuff]] and [[Fox]]/[[Falco]] in every game. Many times, a loyalist may not play a ''Smash'' game for the sole reason of their main being [[nerf]]ed, unviable, or being absent entirely from a particular title in the series. Some players argue in favor of maining different characters in each ''Smash'' game, believing that character and gameplay alterations in one ''Smash'' title can carry over into a smasher's playstyle in another, negatively affecting their performance with the character in tournament.
