- Have you ever asked yourself, should I change my main in super smash bros ultimate? Is there any point when you should change your main? This video is here to tell you what to do when you're wondering if you should switch your mid-tier or low-tier character with a high-tier character.
To answer your question, yes, I'm a Byleth main now.

Really dig your opinions on Smash. Making picking your mains sound like some anime grand destiny. Love it. 🙂👍
Goddam how is this having only 11 views, this is such a good high quality video, it should have much more!
Deserves more than 7K
I've been having this problem for a while where I get into a character crisis because I start doubting my character, I still haven't really found the solution but the video does help me try to encourage myself and test out new things, so thanks
try looking at top players and find a character that you think is fun through them (not sure if you have fixed your character crisis because i commented on this a year after this comment was posted)
Honestly would have been great to have seen this three years ago.😂
Great stuff, I love your philosophy on the topic!
Just getting into smash and love this content. Thank you sincerely!
Why do you only have 59 subs you deserve more, your video's are awsome man keep it up!!
This vid got recommended to me glad it did 😁
Your videos are amazing - the quality is insanely good, your voice is nice and everything is just... perfect in your videos. Continue like that, you will become big!
I am the 500th sub. :-)
Ur So underrated! U make great videos!

i was thinking of changing my main to lucas and this video really inspired me to switch to him because i related heavily related to what you were talking about... and then that ending lmao totally makes me reconsider my whole life now
Maybe the last part is a lie
I personally think lucas is a great character. Even tho they are not top-tier. they are a fun character to use and you can pull off some really good combos. Not to mention that two of his air moves can spike if you hit them correctly and, his up smash is the strongest in all of smash history.
My journey with mains is… complicated
Started with R.O.B. But I didn’t know what moves were what, so I spammed one move, and my friends said they wouldn’t play with me if I kept picking R.O.B.
So I switched to Mr Game and Watch, by then I learned almost all his moves but still didn’t know how to really how to string combos
Then after re getting the game I needed to re unlock the characters, and then I unlocked Pac Man, and started playing Pac Man, but then I was still unable to perform his combos
Then I started to get into the WarioWare series and decided to play a few games with Wario, and I started actually doing research about his combos, watch professionals match ups and I’m getting better and Better, but now I just feel kinda bored with him, I always win the same match ups and lose the same match ups, and while I’m getting better I still fail most of the big cool combos
So I’m debating to switch to a new /old character, I’m debating between Pac Man, Or Ice climbers (I know Ice Climbers is low tier but come on it’d be funny)
Ur content is so good 😊 I love it
I'm loving this video, I'm seeing myself in this.
I'm a Piranha Plant Main, and since a week I'm thinking about changing my Main to a better on, like Joker, but I realised, maybe, my Plant is better, with Plant, I know Matchups better, I know her weeknesses, off course, she has very, very bad matchups against Cloud for example but I will Stick with her, I only want to thank you for this video, and I'm sorry if my English isn't that good, I'm a german xD
Thank you.
Her?
Yeah, from a language like french german or whatever that is not english of chinese, the is remplaced with 2 or three different things, and these things have genders. The = der (male thingy) die (female thingy) and das (neutral thingy). And in french the = le (male thingy) and la (female thingy)
Ha, I'm a plant main too and was super caught up in the tier lists and stuff and almost switched to Wolf. I really like how plant plays though, so I'll stick with it :)
If you play in the United States use hero and set the language to german, and there you go, a broken ass main.
@@drago2975 bruh petey piranha is HE and piranha turns into petey so..........
A beautiful journey
You are so underrated. My two mains are Sonic and Joker none secondary.
As someone who's currently in that mid-tier main crisis, this vid helps a lot.
I dont know whether i should stick to Ridley or not, but i do have characters i enjoy playing other than him so I guess we'll see.
I have basically the same story as you except if Robin was Ganon and I’m not quite at the end yet. Something about ganon just feels right but at the same time his recovery and frame data just doesn’t work with most people, it just always seems like they always know how to counter play me whatever I do, but even on the first day of playing Byleth I started to feel like I was able to react to punish moves and space myself properly. I still wasn’t as good as I was with ganon of corse but I felt like I stood a chance for once, so thank you for reminding me that Byleth is a true main now
Fantastic video. I'm settling on Little Mac as a main; he fits my playstyle--I really like baiting and punishing, which I feel Mac is good at. I also am more comfortable on the ground than the air, plus back airs feel a lot harder to consistently do in this game, so with Mac I don't have to worry about any of that.
I also use Zelda (she was my main in Melee and secondary in every other game).
I'll stick with them, and I'll still think about other characters, mainly to cover their bad matchups (of which there are many).
Again, great video.
Im a cloud main, this helped but i still Gotta think this through.
Really love the video and I'm glad you found a character that fit you best! Is it OK if I go over my own experience?
Starting out I mained Dark Pit (obviously). His moveset just kinda clicked with me and I enjoyed his character's... characterization so was it a match made in Heaven? Yeah, no. Got my butt handed to me 6 ways from Sunday, but eventually I started making progress. Still I didn't really feel satisfied. Yeah, the Pits are fun to play but they just don't really have anything that made me stick.
And then along came Corrin. Decided to pick her up out of the blue (tho mainly because I thought she was cute in Warriors) and slowly grew attached to her weird playstyle. Byleth became a secondary mainly due to my love for Three Houses (Black Eagles for life) and just how much fun she is, with Pyra and Mythra currently being in a void of "Should I stay with them or not?". While Corrin isn't THE character that I'll always go to, I truly feel like she's my best character and the one that fit my hands the best. Thank you for sharing your story and take my subscription.
-the fact that corn and byleth helped with my gender dysphoria also kinda helped-
First off I watched this video and the “how to pick your main” today and both were surprisingly actually helpful. Most videos I’ve seen about this are cliche or just plain stupid. At first when I played the game I jumped around a lot until I found ness. (I don’t spam pk fire). I just loved his moveset and especially landing pk thunder 2 jukes. Now though I’ve been having some trouble with him and feel like I’ve hit a roadblock. He’s my best character by miles and I could hypothetically actually win local tourneys with him. I generally three stock my friends sometimes never being touched. But I kinda hit a point where I feel like I’m finding his flaws too big or that some of his tech is just not stuff I wanna put time into. So now for a few weeks I’ve been hopping around characters getting decent with them for a few days and then moving on. I like the squad strike idea though I’ll give it a try and maybe even give robin a try too lol. I always thought she looked fun but I just wish the spells didn’t run out. Anyway thanks for the videos and I just subbed
I started playing lucario recently and just fell in love with the aura mechanic, i still want to get into using more than just him but I’m happy with the type of character he is as of rn and he fits my play style well i think
I wish we had online Squad Strikes.
The Raito Duck Hunt example and talkinf about hoe little experience most people have gave me a light chuckle. Not because it isn't true, it definitely is true, but much moreso because I'm one of the very few exceptioms. My only real practice partner mains DH.
your so underrated Lucas mains are the dislikes
I think you can tell who my main is by looking at my pfp, but it's lucario
MAYO MAIN
I’ve shuffled around with a lot of mains in ultimate, like: Wario, DK, Puff, Roy, Terry, Robin, Luigi, and Mac (my secondary now). I’ve been searching for so long then one of my friends recommended someone, a heavyweight. I didn’t believe him and shrugged it off. Turns out it’s my current main Incineroar, his playstyle really works for me
I use meta knight.
Every character has their strengths and weaknesses. Meta knight has a physical attacks and special attack strengths but has no reflector. He also has no projectiles.
Every character is strong in their own way
This is what I need
Still waiting for my main to get into super smash bros ultimate featuring Dante from the devil may cry series
Aye you got my sub and my vote
I shift mains a f-air amount but my first competitive main chose me and I rode his rocket launcher to being a local legend in brawl...his name is Snake. I was so glad to see him return in Ultimate. I also picked up Cloud in Smash 4 and I knew I had my mains in ultimate. But... like Byleth chose you... A DLC character bonded with my heart just like He did with the wounded keyblade Wielder named Ventus... I still jump between mains but Sora speaks to me... telling me to come back
I feel this, I used to be a king K main and his playstyle got estremly stale and decided to pick a main whoose play style i prefered. mewtwo was my new main who i felt much better about me as a smash player.
Been contemplating this quite a bit with a secondary recently.
To clarify, NOT dropping my main, onlh a secondary. I'm never dropping Roy. He was my main when he was mid tier in smash 4, he's my main in Ultimate, if I ever plag Melee again, I'm sticking it out with a garbage character.
But on the secondary aspect, I have Aegis and Cloud both. Aegis is the one I'm contemplating dropping. I win most with them and I truly feel they're the best in the game (even in September 2023, I still believe that). I just don't enjoy playing them anymore. I had so much fun when I first picked them up, but it's like everything is dull now. I have no more enjoyment playing Aegis, and that's where the hard part comes in.
I don't enjoy playing them, but they're the character I perform the best with and I do believe in them as a character, so I'm just lost.
I've also been in your situation bro
You shouldn't feel bad for choosing someone else, it gets to the point when youre too good but your main isn't good enough for you, that how I picked up Samus, I liked metroid but whenever I used Ridley, I wasn't getting the results I wanted, so when I saw Samus I tried her and I got even better so that's when my smash main turned from a crappy d tier, to a godlike A tier
I've had like four "mains" at this point
at first I mained kirby, then I mained inkling, then byleth, now I'm considering hero and pac-man of all characters
I have no idea what to use as my main now because I don't even know what my playstyle is
This is interesting. I just started smash like last week, but I started smash because I love Byleth from Three house and want to use him so bad. I even bough the dlc before I get my hand on smash itself lol. I dont really care much about become the best Byleth main, I just happy using him , and want to getting better and know him more and more. I know I still have a long way to go and my reason may difference from many smash player. I played Byleth and main Byleth because I just love him and want more of him beside three houses.
And im glad you like playing Byleth as well! He/She are fun to play, and yes, smashing with Amyr is very satisfied lol.
I think regardless of your reason to mained any character, as long as you enjoy it and accomplish your goal of playing smash, thats good enough 😊
I've been in a similar situation with my main, Jigglypuff. I used to mainly play her near the end of smash 4 and for most of ultimate. My first experience with her was at a friend's house and I chose her because I got annoyed at losing my second jump through many means. Since then I would have considered her my main, but then terry came out and all of a sudden I started having more fun and won against certain people I may have not won against with Jigglypuff. I never switched tho. Instead making terry my 2nd main and keeping Jigglypuff and shulk, ultimately getting rid of chrom. Basically I agree with the philosophy about letting your main pick you. Unless its greninja. Then you'll be doomed for everything in life.

Me: 10:29
for me i changed my main 3 times first it was luigi next was kirby now its pikachu not cause pikachus top tear but the moves fit me so well
Soo that's why maining 2 characters is cooler
As a Lucas main I feel u
damn shame you decided to drop robin man, you really helped me find a main, granted i realized that Kirby was actually the perfect main for me, in terms of baiting punishing and brawling. And I settled on Ike as a secondary because of the same requirements, however his recovery is lacking, i can do the drag down trick a lot easier than with Kirby tho
if you ever wanna play man, hmu. granted i took a break from smash bc it was causing me stress more than anything else, but I'm still down to play!
Just curious, do u still play?
@@rocco2246 meh not as much as I used to
I say: be strong. If you’re changing mains now, it’s likely you’ll want to change again and again, consider that. But if you genuinely just don’t have fun with your character anymore, then play who you do have fun with
My smash journey was playing against my elite smash friend as my first time playing and I’ve learned so much off my friend
When I first played I wanted to pick donkey kong and I really enjoyed playing as him and just like what they say I eventually got bored and tried another character. But after I got bored of that I picked another and then another until I had none left that really stuck out to me. So I looked at all the characters I used to play and I was having the most fun with one character. Donkey kong. Now I have kept him as my main for years and I may not be good at the character as I wanted but I’m having fun. :)
Btw my secondary is Ridley… he would have been my main but he’s too toxic
Hopefully that helps someone :)
Honestly, I fell in love with my character. I was messing with Lucas and loved playing him a ton. Then I was like "hey, I've never heard of the game he's from. I want to try it out". And I thoroughly enjoyed it and fell super in love with the character in general. Just made me like the character enough to keep pushing him and stick with him. For a period, I even thought he was a dead-end character. But I loved playing him still, somehow. And now I believe in the character like no other. So HAH! I'm a Lucas main, deal with it, lmao
I’ve had probably the one of the longest history of mains which I won’t get in to but I will on say this my first ever main for ultimate was joker now upon his release I don’t even think about him cause I mained inkling but I noticed me not growing whatsoever using her and aswell as trying out literally every single character to no avail I decided upon joker I was doing but some stuff happend and I dropped him no almost 2 years later granted I still played smash everyday during those 2 years somehow I forgot him and how much fun he was but he didn’t come naturally i spent countless hours on training mode until I get everything there was to understand and now he’s my main I do have a secondary which is mythra and a tertiary which is mii sword fighter but for sword fighter he was different he came to me in an instant in just understood him but I don’t have as much fun with him so he’s not my main, but yeah that’s my story hope it made and have you some type of hope to never give up 💪👍
Nice Video
For me, i followed your philosophy and Ganondorf chose me. His brute force and quick kills was something I got behind. Eventually, I thought he wasn’t good enough at range and picked up Byleth. I lost almost every battle online after playing him for two years. One day I looked at my win data and found out my 2 highest win characters were sephiroth and Ganondorf. I started to use both again and I’ve been consistently hitting combos. I suggest adding characters to your top 5 and changing your main to one of those instead of a different character entirely
Same thing happened to me I mained sonic and I kept getting wins until I face stronger opponents and I suddenly got really bad and I’m trying to find a main still
I get this video a lot been trying to a get a secondary I did main samus but I haven’t been doing very well with her so I been looking for a good secondary so I found lucina and her still of play come to me a lot smoother then samus so I drop samus for lucina for my main
I’m a kirby main but I actually wanna have another main, Mostly because i’m tired of people telling me kirby sucks.
The reason i chose kirby because i want to let people know that low tier characters can be good too, and i like, kirby, yeah-
but i also really want to try other characters. I’m thinking of trying inkling or pichu, i heard that they are fun to use.
But still i’m more experienced with using kirby, even tho i suck at the game in general
In the end, having a main or not, changing it or not, for whatever reasons you may find is just nonsense. The character you choose is the game you will be playing. You have to enjoy the game you are playing beforehand, or... learn to enjoy it. But a fighting game will always be frustrating and a struggle at times.
How does this dude have only 200 subs? Just from watching this, he seems like he should have over 10k wtf
I used to play cap falcon, but i got bored and experimented with other characters. Now im trying to learn to play jigglypuff and be an annoyance to everyone
I changed my ex-main, Persona 5's Joker, to the legendary Sephiroth for Ultimate, picking him over the leader of the Phantom Thieves of Hearts to represent as my brand new DLC main. And so far, Sephiroth is OP, especially with the Spirits I've equipped him with. I've been using Joker, Dark Pit, Falco and Blue Yoshi for YEARS and I finally decided to just ditch all four of them at the start of December 2020, where I met the legendary one-winged angel thanks to that EPIC Ultimate reveal trailer of his. My brand new high-tier main is more superior over Joker, who was my first high-tier main before Sephiroth came around. I've been using Joker since April 2019 and I finally decided to switch up my playstyle and strategy by using Sephiroth. And I'm loving the new results with this character so far. I'm more comfortable playing with Sephiroth more than Joker because the one-winged angel fits my playstyle and is far easier to control once mastered.
I had the same experience with byleth! Except I believed her move set was made for me from the start
As a lucas main this is starting to feel like bullying
i switched from top tier joker to steve steve is still new and i think hes high teir but hes so fun however joker is from my favorite game is probably better looks super cool fits my playstyle perfectly but i end up liking and having more fun with steve
When i first played smash i was like" oh I'm gonna main Mario" but i was A** at him then we unlocked pit i tried him out and i mained him ever since but I'm getting pretty good with joker so i might change him because I'm losing with pit a lot
This is my take on it. Character tiers do matter, but only depending on your goals. If you want to win tournaments you don't want to play a low tier, but if you just want to have fun it doesn't matter. People also shouldn't show insane loyalty to one character. Playing and being good at an assortment of characters is a very important skill to have. I would say if you play a low tier competitively it's fine, but you already know your characters flaws and don't really have a right to complain. Don't play a character for the hope they will get buffed one day. It's not worth it and most likely won't happen. If you really want to take the game seriously just find a high mid tier or better character that you like to play.
Should i switch back to pichu and luigi or stick to pythra and falco
I've never had this problem, i feel so lucky, bcs if i lose, i know my oponent was just better than me
Greninja is my full time mine and I have cloud as my other mane and one more corn is my finely mane
How I chose my main: I was just playing around with characters like, Chrom, Bowser Jr., R.o.b., and both Pits. I liked playing as them, but as soon as I started to get more competitive at smash, I started to fail with them. Then, I came back to 1 certain character that I had played but absolutely hated due to my lack of skill as that character, Banjo. I played him, and started winning. Then I thought, You don’t choose your main, your main chooses you. I said to myself, I think I found my main. And I did.
Damn nice story, I found all my mains by simply playing random
i honestly haven't found my main or what playstyle i am due to how inconsistent i play and can't get thought the whole roster. Idk if i should be doing this offline or online because I've tried to use quickplay but quit half way with all the samus/link, annoying play-set/strategies(like 1 stock chroms) and the t-bagging.
Some people will disagree with me, but I would recommend practicing with computers to find your own playstyle. There was once a time when I tried using Shulk and thought I was really good with him, but it turned out that I was just playing against really bad players, and once I started playing against good players, they snuffed out every trick I had. With computers, you're basically assured that they'll play at the same level forever. This will help you discover which characters you intrinsically click with. (Plus they don't teabag when you lose)
@@redgerran That was like that with DDD until i quit QP and started playing arena, also what lv should the cpu be on because i hear 9 is bad and should i should get byleth cause I've been avoiding that character with the whole FE/smash problem?
@@KirbKiya You'll hear that computers at basically every level are bad for you. That's mainly for people who can easily beat level 9 CPU's, but when you're trying to find a main and test out your playstyle, I think CPU's are perfect for getting comfortable with whichever character you use.
As for which level, I would say whichever one gives you a challenge without giving you a headache. Have fun learning what you can do with your character, test their limits, and find out how much you enjoy using them. Keep practicing until you find one that you like using more than anyone else.
Byleth isn't a top tier by any means, by the way. I use her because she's my favorite character to use. If you're avoiding a character, there's no reason to use them (especially if you have to spend money to use them).
I hope this helps.
@@redgerran Thanks and i'll rethink about byleth later when the arms char comes out.
I choose little mac
i think his recovery is the worst but one of the best if you fighting in the ground
i started going to fire emblem characters specially Ike
This has happen to me but I don’t blame mario for my lossses I blame myself for not understanding how to beat someone with the tools I have
Me a long term little mac main: guess I'll die
Pfft haha. Hell nah I never questioned my main I don't go to forums or watch tier list to confirm my self. that Hero life.
I hate that I’ve mained Mario for almost all smash games, i enjoy other characters obviously but I’ve just chosen Mario in all the games since I was very young especially now in ultimate where I see some call Mario very dishonest n all of that.
ill never stop playing ganondorf, no matter how good or bad he is.
I picked up seohiroth because ganon wasn't fast or had enough range
My story with this is pretty straightforward - I used to main Pac-Man since the game came out, all the way up until March 26, 2020 when no character felt like they would fit right until they had spring arms and I struggled with waiting until June 29th for my real main to drop
i used to main incineroar, but he’s too slow and gets combo’d too easily. still, i love incineroar. he’s easily one of my favourite characters as he has simple, high damage chases and combos. i play incineroar as my secondary.
note: my incineroar plays pretty different to many other incineroar players like magister. also, my friends play combo characters such as palutena, wolf, and chrom.
Who is your main?
@@namelastnamefirst4520 hate to admit it, but lucina
I see I made a bad choice for my secondary
Sadly I've decided to drop Samus in exchange for Alex, and Alex has been much more suitable for me. Luckily I love both Metroid and Minecraft equally, but its a sad step to take
Honestly I know I came here willingly but like… I did not need to be called out like that bro 😂
Bro my main is Kirby I mean it but ever since I got jigglypuff I TOOK JIGKGYOUFF AND STARTED TRAINING JIGKGYPUFF but when I loose to the new challenger no one can beat it except for...Kirby? But jigglypuff attacks suits me more than kirbys!
My boy٫ Kirby is my main!
My main hasn't chosen me yet...
I mean I main Ganondorf and he’s always been my best character in Brawl, 4 and now Ultimate
My other characters I haven’t narrowed down yet but Pythra, Mewtwo, Ridley and Sephiroth
I’ve played with the idea of a Shoto or Kazuya, I do really like Ken in Street Fighter IV so I’ve been thinking maybe him as a moderately heavy brawler character
I see yo play style 😭
Probably because you used fully charged B
Why such hate towards my main Lucas
I don't know who to main!!!! I've tried loads of characters but I don't know who

Because I've seen a single German comment:
Diese kommentarsektion ist nun Eigentum der Bundesrepublik Deutschland
hey ! would you like to play a best of 5 in the byleth dittos for $ ?
No DONK IS THE MAIN
Why is every single Robin clip from both this and your "how to find your main" video you spamming side special into neutral special?
He's definitely not the best Robin player, and I feel like hes not all that experienced with Robin and should've gave it more time. Like I did.
The ending 2 sentences are so powerful, the rest of the video is pretty much unnecessary
