I started out with Clavat, then I switched to Selkie. But then again, I'm a whore for the low defense/high speed class. :/
Speed is more preferred for me.
BTW, I got Brawl and I can't play it until I get the GC/Wii remotes back. XD
I am getting a new Wii for my birthday (old one couldn't be repaired) & getting Brawl wanna play online (I admit I am kinda cheap with Marth, Ike, Pit & Sonic :) )
Maybe when I get my remotes. I'll probably fail agaisnt others online.
I'm trying to get good with Sonic so i'll probably suck anyway. As long as you don't have much lag you'll be fine.
