Stand 4'ing airplanes out of the sky
Most of us have heard the phrase "Think before you act" and it goes without saying that this applies to fighting games as well. But to what degree? Far too often I catch myself thinking too much about what I should be doing or what my opponent is going to do. This means that I focus too much on what's inside my head instead of what's happening on screen, which seems to greatly influence my reaction speed. To out some concrete questions up:
- How do high level players balance whatever happens in their brain and what's happening on screen? (Tagging @A F0xy Grampa because he seems to have mastered this pretty well if you look at his play.)
- Is it a good thing to sometimes let your mind take a bit of a back seat and just focus entirely on what's happening on the screen?
- Is adapting to the situation more of a thinking or a doing thing? I often struggle when it comes to adapting to my opponent (after all, a Liu Kang player with a solid neutral has to be approached very differently compared to your average ranked Scorpion player).
