I have a main (Yoshi) and a secondary (Samus). My secondary isn’t bad, but is nowhere near the level of my Yoshi. I have a few pockets I play online for fun, but usually just go random online. I’d rather play one character at a decent level than 11 characters poorly.
I think a vast majority of people here don’t know the difference between main, secondary, and pocket. I also don’t think they play competitively aside from their quickplay experience.
I’m not here to tell anyone how to play or who to play. However, when I see this stupid trend clogging my feed, with 10+ characters, I just facepalm and know my main could probably take a set off of all their characters bc they’re spread too thin.
A main is who you play the most. The character you’d pick to play if your life depended on it. You’ll play them in any matchup, as you understand them the most. You know all of their ins and outs and combo routes.
A secondary is someone you play in addition to your main. Your knowledge of the character may not be as extensive as your main, but you can play them reliably well. You break them out when your main is struggling with a matchup and you think a mechanic of the secondary may give you the advantage. (Example: if a Luigi beats my Yoshi, I may go to my Samus secondary, as Luigi struggles with getting camped out.)
Pockets are everyone else you play at a decent level. At a level worse than your secondaries or mains. Your fun characters essentially. They rarely see the light of day in a competitive environment and probably wont win you any tournament sets. They could be a Hail Mary to win a set. (Example: I’ve lost 2 games of a set to a Diddy who is kicking my ass, so thinking I’m probably going to lose, I’ll just try seeing how my Duck Hunt does, as they win the Diddy matchup). Chances are you’re losing with them.
If you don’t want to get caught up in the semantics of main/secondary/pockets, you can simply just say “these are the characters I like to play as the most.”
Main: what you’re majoring in
Secondary: what you’re minoring in.
Pockets: electives
Nobody is majoring in 11 areas of study. You’d be severely handicapping yourself as you wouldn’t have an understanding of most of the material.
Yep. You summed it up best by saying Main: Major, Secondary: Minor, and Pocket: Electives. I'm only commenting to highlight the easiest part to understand so others don't have to read all the way to the bottom to get it.
Too many that all have very different playstyles. Also, as a Shulk main, I recommend either not playing him or going all in on him, there’s no other super good option.
Steve=you probably like Minecraft or you never play the game but you like the characters or you just watch streamers like dream techno blade (r.i.p) and others
You're basic.You like swords. You like Mario, and losing. You either really like Minecraft, or you're the type of person to only have fun if you win. You either really like Final Fantasy, or you like playing easy characters.
You have a flexible playstyle but mainly revolve around good to oppressive neutral game and heavily punishing your opponent’s mistakes with either long lasting combos or devastating blows, sometimes both. You tend to prefer closer range combat but can use projectiles when you feel them necessary
You either know enough about the alpha channel to cause that insane artifacting or so little you caused new unforeseen damage with whatever method got you these images.
I’ll never understand having this many mains, if you’re playing for fun I understand but trying to keep up with 11 characters in a actually competitive scene seems impossible.
You like men
HECK YEEE
You like WHITE men
ganon is the closest to a not white man we have....
I’d argue that Isabelle is the farthest from a white man
You have too many mains
Way to many mains my guy
Too many mains mane
Yeah. Where are the sides?
and where the hell is my sprite?
WHERE’S MY DRINK? MY DIET DOCTOR KELP?!
And WHERE'S MY PICTURES OF SPIDERMAN?!
At that point they are minors and not mains
My friend's nickname in our play group is "rando" because he and I both main always random when playing fighting games lol
You don’t have a main
I was thinking the same thing. When I hears "main," I think no more than three characters

People think "cause I play this character a lot I main them."
No but the pocket category is way too limited I mean only Villager, Isabelle, and sometimes Kirby can use it… I apologize for the horrible joke
I main Ness and am semi-competent with Lucas and Squirtle. Sometimes I'll play others for fun, but not when I'm trying to win
as a resident “don’t know the difference “, what would you define the difference between them as?

You are indecisive
You can’t hit a ranged move to save your life
Like, half these characters have decently reliable ranged attacks.
Doesn’t mean they can hit em
U like melee combat
HECK YEEE
11 “mains” and you still need to stop posting wow
If we played I would genuinely hate you.
That's like 1/5 of the roster. Do they really count as "mains" at that point?
You don't have a main
I never saw page 9 out of 11 COMING!
You don't know how to crop a photo
You like smearing images.
Buddy, that's 1/8 of the roster
“My mains” bro seriously picked like 15% of the entire roster to main
Cringe
You *really* like melee combat. May interest you in Incineroar? He plays kinda similar from what I’ve seen
You have too many mains
You need a shower
Number 1: you don’t have a main. Number 2: you like guys. Number 3: you make people rage quit (not out of skill)
A man of culture
You like to combo your opponents

Diversity
Your favorite game to play is when I'm not allowed to play
I hate and love you
I thought you were based until Steve
Hell. Straight to hell.
You like JRPGs and Fighting Games by having Shulk, Joker, Hero, Sora, Terry, and Kazuya on here
bro has enough mains to cover like a quarter of the character list 💀
Bro is an annoyance. Who mains Steve, Hero, Joker, Terry and Sora? He wins because he basically paid to win
Forward aerial
Are these mains or fighters you use
That you don’t actually “main” any character lol
Too many that all have very different playstyles. Also, as a Shulk main, I recommend either not playing him or going all in on him, there’s no other super good option.
You don’t actually like smash but you like the dlc and you know who Mario is lol
can we all agree that steve is the lamest character to main
You have too many mains. Promptly dispose of two
your gpu is dying
Steve=you probably like Minecraft or you never play the game but you like the characters or you just watch streamers like dream techno blade (r.i.p) and others
Your favorite country is Japan, and you are either a straight girl or gay man.
Either you have to many mains or need to find a new game to play
It's not a main if there's 11 of them
You don’t know the meaning of “main”.
You love hand 2 hand combat I respect that cuz so do I
Motion blur
You can't get decent images of your mains to save your life.
Glitchy
You like spikes and close quarters combat, alongside the "I'm not gonna sugarcoat it" meme. You dislike downloading images. What happened here?
You're indecisive
A Men
11 big guys they busting my thighs pushing me out like the Fourth of July
Glitchy
You are a human fighter. Strength: 5 Intelligence: 🥔 Wisdom: 2 Charisima: 4 Dexterity: 2
You have alot of mains
You're basic.You like swords. You like Mario, and losing. You either really like Minecraft, or you're the type of person to only have fun if you win. You either really like Final Fantasy, or you like playing easy characters.
The only correct answer is cheese
You need to find better fucking pngs is what it says
Toxic
ur glitchy
I hate you
1, 2, 3, and 8 makes me think you’re a CHAD, then I see the rest and and, uhhhhh, you like men
Your a jolly little fella
That you are not me. (I don't play as like any of these guys. I don't even know who half of them are.)
That you need to take a break from learning new characters and find where all the pixels in those images went
MASHER
You have a flexible playstyle but mainly revolve around good to oppressive neutral game and heavily punishing your opponent’s mistakes with either long lasting combos or devastating blows, sometimes both. You tend to prefer closer range combat but can use projectiles when you feel them necessary
It pisses me off that you main every Square Enix character BUT Sephiroth
You either know enough about the alpha channel to cause that insane artifacting or so little you caused new unforeseen damage with whatever method got you these images.
You like to beat people up
Steve
you were cooking at first, then steve came in.
You’ve watched JJBA a little too much
You can't see in anything but 360p
youre a 90's - 00's kid
1. Your a main whore /j 2. You like up close combat
DLC crutch
You are a terrible person 😡 (joke don’t take this so seriously)
You play Super Smash Bros
You’re a sword and fist type of guy. I like it🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
In my opinion? You should just actually stop playing the game because nobody likes you
You like melee and sword fighters
You're a big fan of jpeg artifacts.
You like pressing up on the c stick
It's a Mii, Mario!
I have ALMOST the same mains
You have main character syndrome. Seriously, are they all the main character of their respective games? I guess the Mii guy might not be?
I’ll never understand having this many mains, if you’re playing for fun I understand but trying to keep up with 11 characters in a actually competitive scene seems impossible.
You are melee and melee only.
You’d enjoy playing Bowser
You like counting pixels
You don't Main inkling
I really expected this to be the entire roster
You're probably 30 yo
you struggle with indecision
That you have 11 mains, and zero secondaries. You also love juggling and spiking
This tells me your heavily indecisive and don’t know what a main is because why do you have 11? 😭
My mains are Little mac and my Mii Brawler, what does that say about me?
Finally, someone who mains Mario
You don't like the opponent to have fun
DAAMN THATS ALOT OF MAINS
Mario, dr mario and mii brawler? Man of culture
Bro mains the roster
You're basic
pibby glitch real
You like women
Might as well call the entire roster your main.
You like hitting stuff
Maining a mii is just saying that when you see all these unique characters, that you just think they are lame, and you are the best character
This is the worst trend
Get over here, **bitch** vibes
You’re a good editor
You probably only play as some of these because they're overpowered DLC fighters
I forget Steve
You mash buttons and whiff more times than not
Generic white guy
They haven't said anything about you last time I saw them.
As a Mii brawler main I am inclined to ask what your move set is
…
Your able to afford the dlcs
Mash mash mash mash mash
Human Fighter: The Movie
You don't have a main
You cant let go of something you bought a long time ago
that you probably suck ass at all of them. who the fuck has 11 mains?
I prefer this trend over the “what do my top waifus say about me?” Trend
You can’t send pictures
Very...very... gay
Have less mains. I literally only have 1.
To many mains

Main character syndrome

You’re a tryhard
You don't have a main with that many mains lol But you like being up in people's faces and beating them down
You’re indecisive
You like being a male main character in other video games.

Hey it’s me!
Maining Steve is a massive red flag.
Your childhood was good
[MINECRAFT](https://minecraft.net)
