Hey guys, i really just want to get this out there because i'm seeing this happen way to often in tournament matches, especially in brawl matches.
If you find yourself playing against a character you have problems with, please try to learn the match up and learn the disadvantages of the match before switching to other characters. You'll find yourself learning how to play the character even more if you learn how to be safe with your character, how to correctly approach depending on who you're playing against, watching what your opponent does. Etc.
Of course, if you feel comfortable with how you play the game, you don't have to take my advice. Hell i do horribly in placings as of lately, so there's no real particular reason why anyone should even think about taking my advice, but i'm just calling it as i see it.
Continuing on however.
Perfect example. Dynomite i talked to you after you lost to player 1, and told you that you should go back to wario, he's your main, you'll do better. You commented saying that "he three stocked my wario last tourney" or something to that effect.
I checked the wario thread this morning, and come to find out wario v diddy kong is 55 : 45 -- 60 : 40 in wario's favor.
It even tells you how to play the match up. right under.
The problem is, you'll forever be "getting three stocked" by his diddy because you won't keep the character selection screen from saying meta knight. You can get a lot better at the game if you just stick with one person in my opinion, do some research, see what makes wario a good character against diddy. What's hard for Diddy to counter and use it to your advantage.

I remember i was really proud of you two months ago, when you got 9th at a tourney, completely destroying your last placing of 25th sticking with d3 the entire tourney. You lost your match against Octix and exclaimed that you would learn how to beat metaknight with your D3. I'm sure you're still trying to figure it out. However as of lately i've seen you take up more characters, diddy kong in particular. Because of a ROB matchup. Alby it's an annoying matchup, but when you play one character in particular, match ups will be that way with everyone you use, you have to learn how to take a disadvantage and make it unknown, it makes you a better player altogether.
Really it just makes the GA community weaker, we don't learn how to use our small amounts of advantages to get us to win, but instead we keep our disadvantages as minimal as possibly by using another character, without actually learning the character.
Because of this we'll all find ourselves one day playing a really good metaknight, and end up playing metaknight for the rest of our brawl career.
