Yuka Takeuchi
I'll be honest, I main her because the game forces her on you for the story mode so it's like why wouldn't you at least secondary her? She's still awesome anyway.

Sofia
Honestly this one was just because she's hot and she has that ojousama vibe and I love it. If she's in the other games I'll probably continue to use her.

Sailor Venus
I just use her because she's the best Sailor Senshi, that's the facts.

Sailor Venus
Same as before

Ruby Rose and Orie
I didn't play this game too much but I remember being decent with those two, I don't know who my mains would be now if I could try the game nowadays. I really should play the game Orie is from...

Bulleta
This girl is just so awesome! She's like cute but also badass with her guns. How can Capcom keep putting Morrigan in crossovers when Bulleta is perfection??

Kasumi
There's not really any special reason I pick her, she looks nice.

???
I honestly didn't have a main in this one, sorry.

Terry Bogard
He was the only one I could figure out the inputs for and the game still kicked my butt.

Ryoko
I don't really have anything special to say as my memory of this game is very gone.

Ryu
Tragedy, they made have to play Ryu, they'll pay for this.

Hotaru
I like her moveset and I wish she was in more games, damnit SNK, why is she barely in your games?!

Flame
He was one of the ones I used the most, wish I was better at the game to try the better characters.

Seena
Why would you not wanna play as the Mermaid girl??

Charlotte
She's pretty cool and I like her moveset. I would have picked the other girl but someone would have been pissed with me lol.

Kris
I just wanted a character who could grab to be honest. This game sucks so much, the front cover girl can't even do grabs.

???
Didn't really have a main. I enjoyed using the cast from the few playthroughs I did before stopping.

Sonic
For some reason he's the only one I can do a 1CC with. I don't even think he's good in tier list.

Hebe
He funny.

Kirby
I love Kirby games and he is easy to play as in this game. Funny up tilt.

Yoshi
I always found him really fun to play as in this game even though he apparently sucks.

King Dedede
Even though he's so garbage, I always enjoyed playing him. Maybe it's cause I like Kirby games so much.

Jigglypuff
Fun fact, people who I played Melee with in University thought I was annoying. It wasn't cause I played Puff btw, they just hated me as a person.

Female Byleth
Ever since I've beaten Three Houses, she has been my main. I specifically use the green hair alt. I wish they would buff her though and remove Male Byleth but I'll take what I can get.
I love her so much.

Chun Li
I remember wanting to use Cammy but I suck using Cammy. Chun Li is the only one I'm decent at doing inputs with.

Athena, Kula, and Terry
Honestly if I had play this now, I'd probably play Angel cause she's hot as f*ck. Though the other three are pretty fun to play regardless. This game was where I realized how cool Kula is.

Akari
I just think she's cute tbh.

Politank Z
He was the only one I could do some of the inputs with. I would probably play Arina or Slash if I was better with them.

Janne
She's like the only character that doesn't look unappealing in that game.

Hiei
He was the only one I was good doing combos with. Plus he's just awesome in the Anime.
