It is one thing to mess with various characters in offline play or casual matches, and it’s totally different to practice them seriously - to reach a high rank or even to compete in a tournament. But being totally focused on one fighter also has some downsides. Having a specific range of flexibility with a few mains or one main and a couple of secondaries feels the most effective. And still, if it is so, why do many professionals choose a different path? We analyze the pros and cons in this video in an attempt to help you find your own perfect answer. Do you already have one? Please, share it in the comments.

character specialists unite :) there's something so special about being a master of your craft and pushing your char to the absolute limit

I usually go with 3: the first choice is one to learn fundamentals, the second to cover maybe some weakness of the first, and the third something weird/uncommon to have variety... In general it's good to play characters with different play styles to learn better and have more fun

I used to only play like one character that I really like, but running into games where I don't have a favorite made me just play as many chars as I could. It's kinda fun, but it also feels bad to learn a new char a little bit and then regress when moving to a new char.

Right now in SF6 i'm going through the entire cast and completing their combo trails whilst simultaneously playing ranked with said character i am doing the trails with. I've gotten a good feel for them all now and im getting a sense of who i like and it also feels good to have other characters i know so i can switch between them when im washing my friends with a matchup they are struggling with, keeps things more competitive. I feel like for Street Fighter all the characters play so different so its worth learning them all for the sake of fun. In Tekken everyone is kind of the same (e.g. df 1 is a universal mechanic so if your fundamentals are good with one character you can be good across the board with everyone (of course on a meta level its a lot different, but my ponit stands). In Street Fighter I like playing everyone. In Tekken I just main my boi Jin

There is one more view, and that is that playing more than one character opens up and changes the way you look at your character, playing a grappling character after playing a rush down character might make your rush down character gain an extra dimension by upping your graple game with them etc..

Dedicating yourself to one character is good for learning the game, but it's always good to learn other characters as well. My first experience in Tekken was with Law in Tekken 3 until I realized that I could do more things playing with Hwoarang and then I chose Hwoarang as my main until I got to Raven in Tekken 5 😅, currently I play with Master Raven/Raven, Kunimitsu and Yoshimitsu

I like learning multiple characters but still mainly playing one, this way you have a character that you are very good at while still knowing how to play others and not burning yourself out playing the same thing over and over

I like to try and learn new characters just for fun. It is a game, so I don’t mind if I’m not great with the others. However, one infesting thing is, for characters I learn beyond a basic level, and start getting into the mind of a person who plays this character, I sort of learn what they’re actually thinking. This means when I’m playing my main against that character,, I now have another packet of knowledge, that being, what would I be aiming to achieved with that character? Obviously I have to adapt to the player, and definitely great players think on another level, bit it’s still an interesting method of learning match ups

I always have 3. My main, my sub and my reserve. They should all have different strengths. For example Tekken 7 Kuni, Julia and Alisa

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. The reason why I usually say that I have “multiple mains” is because the reality is, I’ve never been the “One and Done” player when it comes to picking characters in fighting games. I play a variety of different characters and the ones I play the most are based off of 3 things: Design of the character, character history and personality(aka if I like them or not), and gameplay structure. I choose characters who I connect with. Whether it be from an actual character perspective and if I think they both look cool and are cool in the lore, or if I think their gameplay speaks to me and fits my play style. And for games like the Injustice series, Mortal Kombat, and Smash Bros ESPECIALLY, there are a lot of characters who I constantly play most of the time because they fit one or all of the points I’ve mentioned. I have my list of primary mains, the characters who I’m always playing. Secondaries, characters who I still use just not to the same degree as my mains. Then I have characters who I’ll play with on occasions or just rarely pick up. I have multiple options for characters. And that’s my point. When you’re playing a fighting game, you should NEVER have just one main. You should have variety. Find the characters that speak to you. The only time you should have one main is if you literally don’t like or care for anybody else on the roster. Which is only the case for specific fighting games.

I play with every character in fighting games. If you know the basics and fundamentals along with some general specials and combos it's better to play with everyone

Mk11, dbfz, sf6, sfv, mkx are the only fighting games I've learned every character. Mk11 and dbfz only ones I can say I truly mastered every character, even tho I'm still only an above average fgc player, only been playing for 2 years but I feel I'm at a wall, also currently struggling to learn umvc3 and skullgirls. Feel like I shoulda sticked to being a character specialist, but learning many characters is way more fun

I play other characters to learn the matchups easier. It seems like a less boring and interactive way to learn the game instead of sitting in training mode exclusively. However, I usually just play one or two seriously.
