Here's something that I've been going through, and what a friend who's been playing for pretty much the same amount of time is going through. Hitting a wall with a character, as in the feeling that there's no more a player can do with character on a personal level, of course this is almost never the case, as my main was DHD, there is definitely more that can be done since a DHD main reached top 8 at APEX, I'm not saying that the character literally can't do better. But what I'm talking about is a character's shortcomings becoming too significant to work around while playing at an intermediate level. My example is DHD's main shortcoming, KO power, I playing him at a recent tourney and lost a game due to the other player surviving to insane amounts, but then switched to R.O.B. who I had a much lesser playtime with, and almost won the game, only losing because of an SD at the start of the match which I very almost had a comeback from.
Who else has run in to this problem? Is it a good idea to switch mains to the one that gives better results or stick with the one that the player has better character knowledge with? My main concern is that I'll eventually fall in to R.O.B's shortcomings and be in the exact same situation until I just play top-tier, and that if I stick with DHD I will tough it out until there is a point where nothing more can be done, and I'll have to switch to get better results anyway.
Edit: I thought I'd add, I'm really bad with dual maining, I'd rather have dedicated knowledge with a single character
