Is It Bad that I Usually Only Use ZSS?

When playing with my friends competitively, they tend to use two or three characters. However I just use ZSS when playing legit games. Is this bad? I just can't get over her speed, precision, and overall flow. The only character I use seriously other than ZSS is Lucario, but very rarely.

Should I branch out to other characters so that I have more options when playing serious matches?

Zss should have a secondary to cover her bad MUs but very little players actually can make it with more then one character (side from the MK pocket)

edit - try the questions and answers next time

Frisco you know
meh not like we have active threads out the ***

honestly, if you're good enough pocket falcos shouldn't be a problem for you, and he's our worst matchup. I don't think your average ZSS main needs a secondary unless you're looking at regional level with a good falco in the area. We aren't easily CPed basically, they have to actually be very proficient in our bad matchups for us to feel it hard

Well, she's the only character in the game worth playing, so I would say it's wise that you only use her.

I only use ZSS.

My other decent character is Zelda and she's strictly worse in all instances. (but has some nice surprise value)

Personally, i dont find it a problem. I try to pick up secondaries...but i rarely use them, even though there are a few falcos in the area (who usually kill me). Solo ZSS is fun.

the other problem with seconds is using them in bracket...which one wouldnt really feel inclined to do anyway if they love their main to begin with

No point, Wolf doesn't cover any of ZSS bad matchups. Pikachu or MK are the only worthwhile secondaries for a ZSS main. Or IC I guess, but IC bad

Falco covers ZSS' bad mu's. Well, safe for the ditto, but if you main 2 characters and wish to cover each other, you'll have to ditto eventually anyways. It's like IC+D3, they cover each other, but if there's another IC you have to ditto.

Too bad Falco and ZSS are like day and night, and way to hard to play both at top level.

Just going by what you currently have listed in the MU thread, but if you have trouble with Diddy, Wolf isn't a bad way to go. Also, platform camp until after 30% and Wolf isn't bad against Falco either.

I don't think Peach is too bad of a secondary... She does pretty well against Diddy and the Falco MU isn't THAT bad. :3 The only problem I have is ****ing Snake between the two of them. **** Snake **** F tilt :(

Peach loses snake and falco hard imo , Either that or not many Peaches have stepped there game up to prove peach wins those MUs but im not discussing this any further, as fear of the orange text'd troll
