As of now, I'm officially a Corrin/Diddy dual-main, with Robin and Palutena as secondaries.

Corrin is my main pick in most situations. Diddy will be used if I feel I need to play a more neutral based game, or against Corrin's bad MUs.

Robin is specifically for MUs where I can shut down the opponent with her ranged options, like the super heavyweights.

Palutena is mainly for Villager, but I also use her against characters that heavily rely on projectiles.

I dropped Mario, Sheik, and Sonic largely due to their lack of consistent kill options outside of kill throws, smash attack reads, or inconsistent 50/50s. Sheik is also too difficult to utilize as a secondary, Mario isn't as useful a counterpick for bad MUs as I thought he'd be, and Sonic is difficult to play optimally (my concept of optimal Sonic is pretty different from most people's opinions).
