What makes Smash Bros the game it is without a doubt for me is the amazing all-star lineup of all the characters I grew up with, and some I have not but am joyed to learn about. The real issue here is knowing who to use when there's so many good characters. Because of this it's very rare to see someone truly stick it out with just one character forever.
When I say main I mean a character you genuinely use in the effort of winning, studying all their moves, being familiar with their strengths and flaws, playing them hundreds of times to build that experience level. Theoretically you can do this for everyone, but we only have so much time in our live, thus the choice.
Ideally I think 2 is a good number. For example I main Mega Man and put most my training efforts towards him, but I also use Charizard as a secondary who primarily would be reserved to use for a matchup that would usually be awful for Mega Man. But I mained Toon Link in Brawl so my familiarity with him allows me to easily pick him up in Smash 4 so it's a hard choice if I might as well continue to use him with my other two or not.
What do you guys think? Who do you main and if you have a secondary(s) why did you choose to have a secondary(s)? Do you think there's a smart limit? Or no limit?
