I feel like a great player when I'm one of two characters, Wario and Game and Watch. The rest i never win with. Does that technically/necessarily mean I'm a bad player. I can tango with the best of 'em when I'm G&W or Wario, but i usually get 3 stocked when I'm 90% of the other characters.

Mindgames.
Never getting hit.
Using hitboxes well.
Being able to pick up on technique quickly.

It means you're a good mainer and not a counterpick player. Stick to what works for you.

I try to use all 39, but that isn't exactly the best idea. I can pretty much counter the whole cast with Metaknight and Dedede instead. A few more mains wouldn't hurt though.

This is the truth. Know the basics. Knowing the basics will make you able to play better with other characters. You obviously will not be able to play everyone to their full potential by just shielding and dodging, but it will help you tremendously.

being only good with you main doesnt make you a bad player, it just means you have less options XD.
