Its not the character, its the player. pick the moves that fit you best, not the character you prefer.
Hear hear.
Although, I'll admit the reason I first chose pikachu as "my guy" probably had less to do with his agile moveset and more to do with the fact that I was ten years old when brawl came out.

Uh, whut?
So you're admitting you choose the characters you can most easily score KOs with, and don't even try to learn how to use a character properly (i.e. not button mash like a 'tard, or just use one move over and over again)...
...in a roundabout way you're also admitting that Pikachu has a cheap moveset.
I've worked on a lot of different characters, and in doing so have found ways to adapt strategies to deal with different kinds of opponents.
Snake's moveset is really out of whack with the rest of the other characters. I've been trying to figure out how to best score KOs with him for ages, and only just figured it out last night (his Down-B is so awesome for suckering people).
Dude, pikachu has thunderbolt. Also known as cheapy-mc-cheap-cheap...
cheap. You can hit people who are ten feet and two ceilings above you.
And um well, I wouldn't say I can get KOs easiest with Pikachu, since all of my friends have now been playing against said Pikachu for 10+ years and know all of my tricks. I play him because he's familiar, I like him, and the little "pikaaaa!" noises he makes are
painfully adorable. Also if I choose anything else I will lose instantly to my friends who, on the day I first chose my Pika-destiny, cemented their fate in Yoshi and Luigi. Not battling this golden trio at least once a game session causes all of us sadness and pain.
BUT ANYWAY.
Ahhhh Snake! He's my "i'm in srs mode now guyz" character. I can wipe the floor with my opponents' blood playing Snake. He's got those little mines you can stick all over the place, friggin remote-controlled rockets, mortars to shoot up peoples' arses, AND he melees like Ganondork on steroids.
And if that wasn't enough, he's got a little faggy helicopter for his up+B!! How cute is that?? You can totally climb forest temple in one up+b with it too cause the f*cker lasts so long. Plus, he's hot! Mmmm...
