One thing I always like to do, even if it is a dick move, is try to beat my opponent with the entire cast. I start out with a weaker character (for me) say Dhalsim, if I win with Sim I will switch until I lose or he quits. Though if he cant even put up a good fight, I probably wont continue either. Why do I like to do this? First off, even though it's not as true as it once was, Dhalsim is my scrub beater. If you lost to my Sim, especially in earlier days, it means you're probably not going to beat my mains. Secondly, it gives me a chance to practice the whole cast and possibly learn something new about them. Online there are not a whole lot of people that can take a round off my honda, at least not randoms anyway. If there's not somebody on my friendslist to play and no good lobbies, I have to deal with weaker players.
I believe I have Honda's tricks all in the bag, so learning the other characters forces me to think up new stuff, and see the situations from another character's perspective. I've learned how to play Vega, Sim, and Sagat in HDR by doing this, and improved many of my other characters to a great degree.
I think this is the real key to Super Turbo, is knowing all the characters inside and out. It definitely works for me, as I get a better grip on their normals by actually using them. If you've never actually used Vega how will you know how good standing roundhouse is for anti air when you don't have charge. Watching Videos? You probably won't remember that in the heat of battle.
Playing everybody was exactly what Valle did in A2, and we all know how that turned out.
