I think we've all been there and there's really no problem with it.
I wouldn't be so sure if I were you.
I've been playing Smash for very long, now, and only recently with Smash 4 I'm branching out to other character than Mario. And even then - very slowly.
Well anyway, OP,

, I assure you playing too many characters will always be better than sticking with only one for as ridiculously long as I did, however, picking from a select group and trying to specialize at them is still essential, as you have noticed.
Who are the characters that you are most interested with? If you want to choose which characters to main, you can go from a short list of subjective reasons:
- How much do you like playing as the character in relation to others?
- How much do you like the character itself?
- How much do you like the game/series the characters is from?
- How much do you like the look of your character?
- How much do you like the alts of your character?
- How much does its playstyle fits you? (Which can be Objective, like "It's a fast character and I like to be aggressive" or Subjective, like "I like people with swords, since I really like the look of them and it gives the character and my playstyle a distinct look")
Or a list of more objective reasons:
- In user made tier lists, what is the average tier the character in question is placed at? (Examples: - Top Tier, - High Tier, - Low Tier, etc.)
- What is the history your character has with tournament results?
- How many times has your character been rebalanced through nerfs and buffs throughout all the patches, and will your character be affected by tomorrow's balancing patch?
- What is the MU spread for your character? This is specially useful to consider if you're considering a secondary to aid your actual main.
- How easy do you think it'll be to play this character at a competitive level?
- If you decide to play them, are you willing to learn all of the character-specific combos and techs your character brings with them?
This is what you probably should consider. Of course, it's entirely possible you might end up playing a character because you like their playstyle but not the character itself (
cough cough I really don't like Mario), but right now, you have the power to choose.
