I've heard varied opinions on dual maining and I want to hear a list of pros and cons of dual maining characters.

No.Everyone should main three characters, the character they want to main, the character for bad match ups, and the character they have the most trouble against.
Future advice, break down your paragraphs with linebreaks everywhere and make your posts readable. I like seeing people's opinions read, and no one is gonna read your post the way it is now (no offense).Obviously...
YesNo.
It may help to mess around with the character you struggle the most against to help you really find out how and where the character struggles, but maining him/her just because you struggle against him/her is bad.
And the way you worded the post kind of shows that you don't quite understand what a main is. A "character for bad match ups" to use secondarily to the "character they want to main" is a secondary. I'm a Peach main who sometimes likes to use Samus for certain matchups, but that doesn't mean I'm a Peach/Samus dual main.
I see where you're coming from. though. But character you play in friendlies or character you're exploring to find weaknesses =/= a main. It's totally normal to play six or seven different characters in friendlies; that doesn't mean you main those six or seven characters. But if you want to improve drastically and quickly, playing six or seven characters in friendlies is not an option.
I think dual maining is not a very good idea. If your main really struggles with a matchup or two, maybe a secondary is okay to have, but unless the matchup is actually terrible you're probably better off learning the tough matchup with your one, best character.
You would be far better served learning the bad matchup unless it was completely unwinnable. Even then, what you're talking about is a main and a secondary.Everyone should main three characters, the character they want to main, the character for bad match ups, and the character they have the most trouble against.
Thanks for the advice man, I apreciate itFuture advice, break down your paragraphs with linebreaks everywhere and make your posts readable. I like seeing people's opinions read, and no one is gonna read your post the way it is now (no offense).

IMO Don't dual main until you reach a high level of play. If you want to dual main, you better be attempting to learn every matchup with both characters. Struggling against a MU you don't initially understand is a great of way of gaining deeper understanding of the game.
Playing around with multiple characters will probably slow your growth just by the fact that time you put into other characters is time you could've spent working on your main.
I do it anyway because it's fun.
