Is the music a spoiler? Maybe. But it's too much of a banger to not use.
Life will change really is a banger.
I wish you couldn’t fast travel through palaces. Because of it, this banger song only plays for a minute before the boss fight. 🥲
@@respectpig3874 you do not fucking wish for that, think slightly harder duck.
@@respectpig3874 and with daredevil in strikers…
@@legendaryiguess I only beat the second jail because I didn’t like the story gameplay etc so I have no idea what your talking about
Zelda being a solo main is just comical but it makes sense😊
As a zelda/ryu/ken player its pretty funny seeing zelda being solo'd i personally couldnt do it
I main zelda brawler and pit/corrin( they trade slots constantly). I think zelda can do it but its just harder
Amd why work harder when you dont have to
Well someone's gotta teach you an up lesson😂
What's a solo main?
@@slandergames9494 It means just maining one character only
As a lucas solo main this makes me happy
Same
Same, seeing Lucas on any top ten makes my brain go Ooga Booga
Same! Arise Solo Lucas mains!!
@@2weekoldpickleoh my god we’re all so damn starved for any lucas representation even something like this makes us happy bro there’s something broken in all of us
If I was a Lucas solo main then it would've made me sad lol
holy cow lucas actually gets to do something im so proud of my depressed little child
Yes! When I see these I'm just happy this little man is included. Glad he's my main
@@brianmccrary5369 same.
Let's gooo
Agreed
Yeah ima Lucas main ness and Lucas are built different
As a ganandorf main. that ganandorf broke the "I can confirm"text with warlock punch
Doryia!
How is this related to the video at all.
@@billnye8760 you just don't get the joke
@@KJV_Enjoyer. no, I get the joke, but the only relation to the video is them saying the word "main". they did'nt come up with this comment for this video, they've been waiting for a time to use it
@@billnye8760 no people in the comments would be like, as a joker main, I can confirm... So he was making a joke to kind of point out that it's an overused saying sort of thing.
MkLeo single-handedly carrying the byleth viewership
Wow! I didn't realize kazuya was popular enough to even be in top 10!
If people can get Electric Wind God Fist inputs correctly, they’re likely to give Kazuya a spin
@@nemonus4279 as a tekken god omega kazuya is my life
@@Justrandomthingies How much simpler is SSBU Kazuya than the most difficult Tekken Kazuya, do you know?
@@alexanderlane2971 words cannot describe how disappointed I am with your assessment
@@alexanderlane2971 what other character has a 7 frame jumpsquat, i11 OOS as the fastest option, or must master a 2 frame window move to use the character reliably? Also, Luigis grab is a rather spammable disjointed combo starter and kill confirm.
Of course Sora is #13, the conspiracy continues
Sora is MoM confirmed?!? (gone wrong) ⭕️👈
Oh my fucking god why did you have to make me realize that
The number 13 can't leave him...
bruv nothing is wrong with the number 13
@@Ufo3208_ clearly this person didnt play a kingdom hearts game
Glad to see Mega Man being solo mained so high up!
I’m surprised Mega Man even made it to the list, to me, he’s just an underrated character that needs more attention.
Mega Mains Unite!
Same! Made my day
He’s not high up. Only among tournament players
@@DanBlabbersuhh yeah?
Lucas makes so much sense to some regard, especially if you are looking at it tournament wise. Im suprised to not she sheik in solo mains tho
we’re always sad
As a sheik player I have secondaries because I generally play lots of characters, many before shiek. Even the top level sheik reps like VoiD, Mr R, EIM, then kameme and even zackray that one time, all have plenty of great characters
But also some matchups are bad and secondaries can be worth it. Then steve came out and secondaries are definitely worth it, really bad matchup for her
Sheik is much too tedious to make sense
@@oetic5016 nah. You just need fundies
Has Sheik ever been a solo main character other than Melee? Because a lot of People in Smash 4 played Sheik alongside their preferred character from what I remember.
I actually screamed LETS GOOO when i heard that lucas was the #1 solo main
When one of my videos can get a reaction like that out of people, it definitely makes my day. Many thanks. :)
As a melee player who is only recently getting into ultimate, it’s insane to see Ness, Roy, and Bowser in the top 10 most popular mains.
Nice to see my PSI wielding bois being absolute menaces.
SORA IS NUMBER FUCKING 13
I saw that, and I was like are you shitting me? This can't be a coincidence at this point
Here’s a 13th like😉
I dont get it
@thequeenvsslime1 Kingdom Hearts has a recurring theme with the number 13 (and 7), from the name of the game being 13 letters to the villainous group in the game.
Smash Bros even honored this by making Sora the 13th DLC character and being released released 13 days after he was announced (Oct 5-18 2021) in update 13.0. He also was the 7th DLC fighter for Fighters Pass 2.
Tl;dr 13 (and 7) are significant numbers in the series, so Sora being #13 in the list is both ironic and appropriate.
*cue 13th Struggle*
Sora being 13 is pretty fitting
As a Shulk main I fully understand. Every Shulk main wants to unleashed the true power of the Monado
As a Lucas main, this brought me joy!
Ay me too! 😁
@@TurboToaster574 Ay! Another Lucas main!
@@CobaltPerseverance154 I use PK freeze all the time
I like to play as lucas kirbu and pit
@@TurboToaster574You play like a virgin then
Me over here just chilling as a Sephiroth main.
Same bro
First time I ever used him I was shocked at how good he was I may be converted from Young Link to hin one day.
Same dude his side charge swing is soooo satisfying to land.
We are few but we are feared my brother
We will never be a memory!
Inkling...you will still be loved...maybe not by these people...
As a Ness main yall underestimate us a lot because we all don't spam pk fire
I will agree that Ness is better than his reputation and very technical, but he almost never gets results despite popularity.
A trained lucas is scaryyy to play against
PK FREEZE
Yezzir!!!
Lucas top one of solo mains made my day, i'm proud of my main and our playerbase
Let's go Lucario is a great solo main
F@KC YEAH!!!! HAHAHA
Yuhh
Bowser being in the Top 5 shows just how incredible he is in Ultimate
He's the most forgiving fighter by a landslide. You can be average as hell at the game and still play bowser to his fullest because of how basic but powerful his kit is.
@@343Films
Mhm.
It makes him an amazing option for a main
@@343Filmsu can do some cool stuff with bowser tho
@@desmondliart
That is true.
Up-B Out of Shield is a classic
the speed tho
😬
Mostly expected except for LUCAS WOOO
As a Ness main, I can understand how annoying PK Fire is, which is why I don’t spam
Damn I wasn’t expecting Lucario to be here. There are only like 40 Lucario mains
As a sonic main, i can confirm we have city escape playing constantly in our heads.
As a kirby main... you all dont understand... kirby can kill every god effortlessly... 🐸
Good to see that my boy Mr. Game & Watch is one of the most solo mained characters in the game!
Proud he made the top 10 too
On god. Guess flat zone 2 is just that Chad of a dong
I love gnw
That's why I'm a Wii Fit main for the last 6 years!
Sora on 13th is just another perfection
Sora being #13 is perfect
I can already see Xehanort wavedashing towards him just saying “x-blade” again and again.
This is seriously the most high quality Shorts on TH-cam. So information dense and complete, like bro this must've taken so much work
I hope you make a full vid out of all this data too. Even if it's long and redundant it's cool to hear you talk about this shit lol
Thanks a ton! I really appreciate it. I have data-related Smash ideas on the back burner that I plan to get to as soon as I can.
I'm so surprised people actually use Ness other than me and a few others, sure you can spam PK Fire, but nobody I know can use his other moves effectively. It being ranked in #7 is really surprising to me and I'm so proud of my boy.
I’m so proud to be a lucas main
Here's some tips to win against Ness by a Ness main:
BEWERE OF PK FIRE, Play defensively, swords, jugle him and predict when he is going to use PK Fire.
Tl;dr: Outsmart the Ness.
Or just SDI and never recover low otherwise you’ll get hit with the yo yo
@@The_Gabeit depends on what type of recovery you have.
Some multihit recoveries can clank with the yoyo hitboxes and grab ledge (lucas), some have a huge hitbox that can outspace the yoyo (chrom) or they can hit ness through the stage (ridley).
@@eaa1338 , yes, I guess you just have to find it out
Another great counter is using a reflector/magnet to stop PKs
Ya true, depends on the ness, I mainly use pk fire to check fast characters dashing in and use it to predict where they will go next, I get lucky if it actually hits
Such a beautiful coincidence that gnw is the 9th most solo mained character
Haha funni number go BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
You can quote all the fancy data you want but nothing is more satisfying than playing as "DORF" online and spiking with Ganondorf's down aerial
As a Earthbound fan I am shocked and happy my bois get played
unlike a certain smash bros game
As a Yoshi main, we are just built different
As a fellow yoshi main I can confirm
we must unite
you guys play yoshi because you don’t know how to play anyone else
as a yoshi main, we need to get rid of crafted yoshi
@@yeehaw8089shut up
Cloud is the perfect storm. He is CLOUD and he is super easy to pick up.
Glad to know my two mains, Ness and Lucas, are more popular than I thought
I always stay true to Ridley.. unless in the next one rayman gets added😂
Its a common thing you see that the popular characters are also often finger breakers. Joker is really strong and appears a lot in top play, but is so physically and technically demanding to play that nobody solo mains him.
As an Isabelle main, I can understand why she isn't in the top 10 on either list
Cause thats fuckin weird
@@cjtheterrible2238 isabelle is great
That's funny because I can swap in Olimar's name (my main) and this sentence works perfectly but for completely opposite reasons
Same bro
Yoo another Isabelle main
It makes me so happy that Wii Fit is up there in the most popular solo mains. She's truly one of the most fun characters once you understand how she plays.
POV: you’re a Ganon main
That would be me
I have so much respect for solo lucario mains, even if they’re bad. They deserve a good fight!
I mostly play Joker and Roy, but not because they are the best characters but because I like the characters in general.
Yeahhhh, I've been maining joker, and I feel bad because I know he's top tier, but I just like persona 5 man
I play the characters who I like in their series
I play zss because i like playing zss and will playher even tough i consider her top 15.
as you should bro
Lucas kinda shocked me, really the biggest underdog of the roster.
I'm a Lucas main, but I'd say the biggest underdog is Little Mac
Nah@@JohnDoe-id5ih
You mean the most annoying on the roster?
The biggest underdog is kirby
r u stupid Kirby is who every 12 year old plays, and based on what u said I assume you’re 12 ☠ @@vispev3123
You cant tell me that the mayority of cloud and joker players werent inspired by Sparg0 and Mkleo
I CAN tell you because they are MAD popular in general to begin with >:)
@@chomusuke3636As a joker main.. gonna have to disagree with ya there LOL. Whenever i was first getting into smash 3 years ago i saw a leo joker set and that shit looked fire, and id have to guess its that way for most jokers
@@jaydenhohman2590 Yeah, i forgot that, Persona particularlly used to not be that popular
@@jaydenhohman2590 I guess Persona fans don't exist. Nope its only Mkleo fans.
Steve Minecraft being barely in the top 20 of characters played but always being half of the top 16 means he really is that busted.
Steve my beloved

I can confirm being a good Lucas main isn’t easy at all
I mean your not a good one so that makes sense

@@PK-Sage *defeats you* heh nice try kid
@@the_epic_gamr_boi why so rude
@@Estfireemblemhes having his roleplay villian-arc
Ness and Lucas are just sigma like that.
G&W being number 9 is just too funny
As a King K. Rool main, I’m surprised people don’t know how easy and overpowered he is.
I’m a Lucas Main this is crazy lol I love it 😂😅
My man Lucas being the #1 solo main 💪
Love ur pfp! I’m a ness main😊
Ness and Lucas main here- glad to see the turnout ;))
Pichu mains, (all 10 of us), rise up
Nice. Cloud main
I main Ness and pocket Lucas, Mother fan for life.
I love Lucas!
Link mains are definitely loyal like that
No lie. We are pretty rare in competitive though. If only he got some good buffs😢
Roy, Joker, Terry, Kazuya, and Sora are really fun to play as.
So happy Captain Falcon is still popular in the community. He’s freakin Captain Falcon arguably a more popular mascot for the game tan Mario or Kirby. Maybe not to Nintendo but to us anyway.
Falco my biggest bird at number 16
ness and lucas are such different character that it is hard to main different characters
Do bottom 10!
I'm almost sure one of them will be Daisy because I mean both her and Peach, but I started focusing more on her just because she has less representation.
As a mewtwo main I can tell you that mewtwo is bottom 3 fosho, even ganondorf is used than him
@@basil1913also duck hunt, rosalina, and mii swordfighter
@@basil1913 I doubt Mewtwo is that low. I see more Mewtwo rep than Duck Hunt, Mii Gunner, or Dark Pit.
Everyone I know that plays smash mains Kirby. I’m surprised he wasn’t on the list at all, not even as an honourable mention.
wow both my mains lucas and ness are on the top of the tierlist 😮
This is dope thank you for this info
Sora was 13? At first I thought that didn't make sense (people saying he's mid), but now it makes PERFECT sense (Kameme bringing the hype, and also 13 being important in Kingdom Hearts)
Wow, I just happened to chose captain falcon as my main and link/zelda as my secondary characters by compete coincidence
In sm4sh I switched around between wii fit, dedede, and Ike. In ultimate I retained my liking to these three but I also gravitate towards cloud and Isabelle now too
*Wait I’m Lucas.*
Wait, I'm a solo lucas main, damn I'm basic
Nah common solo mains =/= common mains
Donkey Kong and Ganondorf can't catch a break. And they're telling K. Rool "first time?"
As a main of Corrin & Bayonetta hoping this video would surprise me with one of them
Can we get a ten least popular characters and ten least popular solo mains? :D
And then theres me who plays Kirby
same. my friend called me basic for it when he mains one of the top 3 on the first list..
@@mizukittyakinyama which of them?
@@OneWhosVeryBored joker, but me and him aren't friends anymore
@@mizukittyakinyama Honestly, good. Calling one basic for their choice in the funny Nintendo kerfuffle game is not cool.
@@OneWhosVeryBored it's actually for entirely different reasons related to a different fandom lol but yeah
I’ve won tournaments as 3 characters… Aegis, Ganondorf, Joker
Lit. Congrats! :)
Well you know what they say, everyone has a pocket Cloud.
I main lucas :D
I main the wii sword fighter
cool
you dont exist
I main Joker, Wolf, and Pokemon Trainer, while also seconding Roy/Chrom, Lucario, Mewtwo, Terry, Rosalina, Pikachu, and Young Link
I dropped both Wolf and Falco when Incineroar came out, but of course, I didn’t expect him to make it anywhere near this list.
I’ve been a Lucas main since the brawl era, it’s heartwarming to see that he’s #1 for once, not forgotten like the countless times before; LUCAS MAINS RISE UP
omg, also been maining Lucas since Brawl! Rise up!
and then there's ninten
@@iwantbellpeppers he's dead
HUH! EARTH-BOUND! NINTEN'S DEAD! EARTH-BOUND!
Where's my Samus mains at?
In the hospital being treated for cancer.
ironic, an old friend and i would constantly do mega man vs link matches in smash 4 and debate who would win. funny to see the two of them back to back in this list
Glad that Kaz and Cloud are in the Top 10.
Fellow Lucas mains, rise!
As a Terry main, I find it surprising how often Terry is played considering his rep as absolute dog-water. There are very few really good Terry’s out there, and I sincerely wish there were more.
I don’t care about him or fatal fury, but i love playing as him his moveset is so cool.
One of my favorite online fights was with a good terry user, i still won, but it was fun!
Bro im a cloud main since 2019 and i cant still believe
As someone who completed the google certification and loves smash ultimate dearly ... I cannot express how much i love this short... I need more!! Wish i had friends to play smash or do some data vis with
Cloud best RPG protagonist.
Easily better than Aegis, but that’s not saying much
Mario, Peach, Bowser, Mallow, & Geno
Cloud, Sora, Joker, Hero = Bestos!
Lucas is by far the coolest character in my book and also one of the hardest in smash in general.
I'm a little bit proud that none of my mains made either list
there's some good suprises up here, especially Lucas, Yoshi and MegaMan. I'm glad for those lads.
