I don't know what the situation with hiroshi is exactly, but I know my mindset about how to play the game evolved as I got better. My first mindset was something like "if I can just play really smart, my complete lack of anything technical beyond lcanceling won't matter". Needless to say, that mindset clearly lead me to an early brick wall as a lot of smarts can only be applied with technical skill. Eventually I did what every Florida player does and I tried learning a space animal or two, and my mindset turned into "if I can just be as technical as possible and never miss a thing, tech chase like a god, etc, then I'll never get hit and can't lose". Obviously no one can be perfect all the time, and this mindset doesn't really take into account how you have to really learn all the characters in a sense so you really understand how to fight anything you're up against. When I realized that, I started to learn as many characters as I could. Then I took a little break from the game for collegial reasons. Now my mindset is along the lines of "if I can just figure out the flaw in how the other guy plays, I can use my technical skill as a tool to outsmart him". There's probably still holes and walls to my current mindset, but it's certainly an evolution from where I started.
