Is it better to specialize or generalize?

the more you know about the whole cast the more chances you have of beating them and the best way to learn about a character is to play it instead of knowing the moves and its best counters, it lets you at least know what options or approaches the opponent is thinking of taking against your character, even if its not always accurate.

though it backfires if you don't have a main character that you know inside out.
 
Step 1) Pick a character you like most and enjoy using. Learn the game through that character. Baisic/core gameplay should begin to develop here.

Step 2) Know what your character can do the rest of the cast.

Step 3) So you know your character inside and out. Now its time to develop your skills with other characters. You should choose the top 5 moves to know and utalize with every character. Just 5 moves...This will help you learn thier strengths against your character.

Step 4) Teach yourself a combo with each character and when to utalize. For instance...if you teach yourself to combo off a wiff from your opponent with Hilde you will probably never wiff against her again.

Step 5) Win at Evo.
 
I think if you're new to the game, you definitely want to specialize in one character. Once you get the hang of the game, using two or more characters is a perfectly viable playstyle.
