Fox and Diddy. Maining only two people helps me focus more and get better. Even then, most of my attention is towards Fox. I'm working on getting a solid Fox before I start working on my Diddy.

Wow, two semi-hard characters to master XD

I main Olimar, and secondary Zero Suit Samus.

I'm kind of drawn to characters with high/semi-high learning curves.

I can use many other characters decently as well.

(But not ICs and Peach, I can't stand using either of them =/)

It's physically impossible to have more then 2 mains because then your not mainly using anyone. Instead you get six characters that your decent at but no mains.

Its good to have mains that are not similar to each other. that way ur ready to play your opponent with a somewhat counter pick all the time... :D

If its in that order, then wouldn't kirby be your main and everyone else be your secondary? You can't prioritize your mains. Why do you think "secondary" is a term. No one can also have more than 3 mains. 3 is REALLY pushing it, and 2 is acceptable. Everyone else is a secondary.

Wouldn't those all be secondaries though? A main is someone you use consistently, so it's basically impossible to have more than three.

I've played like half the roster for a couple of days each, but I've only stuck with two. I'm competent enough with the other 10, but they aren't that fun for me so I don't want to try to actually learn them.

Not really. A main is someone you have the most knowledge of, and use more than anyone else. I can tell you almost anything about 20 characters, because I've used them all very often these past few months.

I have plenty of secondaries, but I use them without ever checking the character threads. My 8 mains are the ones that I learn everything about.

I main Peach and I play with her the most of the time. I won't get really bored of her.

But I still like secondaries. I second Zelda xd.

And then I'm trying to learn Zero Suit Samus, Ness and Sheik. I'm okay with Zero Suit Samus, but I suck badly with Ness and Sheik ><

If you (Yaaay) want to play as ZSS, you have to learn how to tether. If you dont know what that is its when Link/TL (etc) use their grab to grab on the ledge when they are falling. Once you can tether good you can pwn with her :D

I think that you can main as many characters as you want, but if you main someone then you pretty much have to know all their matchups and be able to do all their ATs consistently. So sure, you can have 6 mains, it may mean you play brawl every day for 5 hours but its possible...

My main is DK. I picked up kirby for his matchup vs DDD. Pickachu and lucas are really fun for me. Marth is awesoe=me (except for your horrible recovery!) And I would like to bring wario up as a second main cause hes that cool. Basically My real main is DK and i would use him against any matchup (except maybe ddd).

Well, there is a thread that shows how long it takes to main someone, but I dont remember where it it. But it is not impossible...
