Look, play the character you can win the best with. I didn't pick DDD cause he's high tier. The fat man picked me. Believe me, in a competitive fighter, you can't pick your main, it just doesn't work that way.
Sit down with me, I'll tell you a story of how I learned this lesson.
I was pumped, I was finally getting my hands on Guilty Gear, the greatest fighting game of all time, I went and researched all the charecters, tiers, matchups, tactics, and decide before even touching the game that the right person for me was going to be May. She simply seemed to fun to play, before even touching her!
I get the game, I learn the basics, all with May, and I fit my first hurdle, I could not get the loop down, no matter how much I practice. All right I said, I'll try her bread and butter combos, again, they just did not feel right in my hands. Then I said it must be that I'm new to the game, I just need some experience using the character. About a months go by, I am not having fun except for when standing still and dolphin spamming (because both are so cute), and I am not winning or progressing with May at all. I start to choose random characters, looking for someone who fits my play style. Much to my surprise, my style was fit perfectly, my bread and butter combos done with ease, and my progress rapid when I began working with A.B.A. I could definitively tell this was the character for me.
Even Fiction himself messed around with the top tiers until he finally stumbled upon Wario for himself, he knew and understood the power of M2K, but failed to work with him properly. Mango came out of left field maining Jigglypuff. Taj knew the power and abused of Marth, till he got ***** by Gimpyfish, too which he found his only usable option: Mewtwo, of all people.
Case in short, you can not change or affect the person who works best for you. Its a natural thing you can't control.
