Ever notice that a lot of people talk about making reads based on the opponent having certain patterns or looking out for obvious setups. But i dont hear a lot of people talking about is making reads based on the amount of meter both players may have. Because based on the amount of meter either you or your opponent has, the opponent may go for different things. For example. if they have full meter and u only have 1 bar. Its a safe bet that they'll have no qualms about spending 1 bar on an armor move to try and get out of your footsies or pressure. So you could easily be ready for such an attempt just by paying attnetion to both players meter lvl. And another thing that u can predict is that in most cases if a player has a breaker, they would tend to be more bold in their attempt to approach you. So knowing this, u could easily bait them and make them use up they're breaker. theres many kinds of predictions and reads you can make based on either or both players lvl of meter.
The other thing that you can use to make reads on the opponent is the health bars. Based at where you or your opponents health is at, he/she may attempt to do different things. For example, if your health is on the low side. They may very well make a bold yet frantic attempt to finish you off. If you remain calm. You may even be able to make a comback by captializing on your opponents recklessness and in turn taking the match from him/her. At the beginning of the match, when both players are at full health. Usually either they will move a bit & block or just block. Or they will try and poke you for the 1st hit granting them a breaker. Some may even use a special or enhanced special to get the extra bar (enhanced would leave them with just one bar, but it would rob u of the extra bar as well and they'd get damage).
You could make all kinds of reads easily with both of these factors combined.
