I think it's more like choosing one tag you like and make it great by getting better.

Yeah that's been bothering me too. I think I might be on to a good tag now as I decided not to use eltoroguaco for This. It's my internet alias, but it's more fun to have something a little more smash related when playing the game

Just going to say I also want to get my feet wet in the competitive sm4sh scene but being unable to travel and losing in tourney mode so many times has me quite frankly SCARED OUT OF MY MIND!!
I finally gave myself a nickname (after playing for so long might as well) going off of what I heard from a friend of mine I chose the nickname Nostalgia (it had a nice ring to it, I know I liked it). I may get trash (and trash-talked) by people online...but there's nothing more satisfying than seeing your character on the victory screen.
It's also hard not to get stuck in a rut, when you know what works you tend to use it over and over....don't do that....explore your options trust me there are several. Then as the OP said find experienced players. A player who's been around the smash scene more than once can tell what's wrong with your technique at a glance. As long as they're not jerks about it ask for some advice and no 'change what character you use' doesn't count.
In the meantime I'll be relaxing around my place playing online tourney mode, my best with my zard was three in a row. I even beat people I never won against before!

If you manage to find this I would like to thank you for writing this.
I was fortunate enough to find both of your threads on competitive smash 4 today from other users asking these very same questions and sharing your resources. Both are a great read and sum up what I try to explain to players through a lot of article, videos, and text. Great work.
Now for why I'm here. I was wondering would you consider adding a section near the character forums where you can talk about the character discords, aka smashcords (https://smashcords.com/smash-4/).
I only bring this up because ever since they have appeared a few years ago, plenty of activity on the smash 4 character boards have dwindled since many players have migrated there. Every now and then, I find a Ness or Lucas player wandering the boards I watch and I redirect them to Discord along with the players who ask for help in the general board.
