Emperor of the Moon
I have three more to add for myself.
Execution. In match my execution goes down. I think it is because I practice from a neutral position instead of moving around. Sometimes I turn the AI on just to practice one combo while moving and it helps a bit but not as much as I'd like. My execution is not bad, I think this is one of the better skills of mine but it could still be improved. For example I still get wrong inputs for Kenshi and Freddy when quickly moving around on screen. Sometimes after dashing forward after an enhanced ground spike I'll go for b1,2,u1 and input: dash db1 and end up hitting them with one spike instead of my combo. Kenshi is worse, I get reflect in a ton of situations, combos, trying to do shoulder from ducking etc.
Frustration. When I feel overwhelmed by the other player my mind slows down instead of speeding up and my decisions get worse. I'll use what I call a frustration breaker at the end of the first round with almost no chance of comeback. If anyone watched the last CoCo that @GGA 16bit won you saw that with me vs @perfectlegend. I pretty much just stood still while Kung Lao repeatedly shoved his razor sharp hat up my ass. I know Kenshi was a bad choice and debated going Freddy instead but I just wanted some tourney experience with Kenshi. Still it was obvious that his speed shut down my game mentally.
Downplaying. Not the kind we normally talk about here, but I can't think of a better term. I seem to play down to my opponents skill when I'm better. I do not push myself to play 100% if I'm better which causes me to almost play more like them and do dumb things. If all they do is jump and teleport I'll start doing that for some fucking reason. This isn't nearly as bad anymore but I did run into this problem at CoCo. Off stream I played PlayingtoWin. He doesn't really play anymore and plays the game like it is a few months old. Still I kept falling for early Raiden traps and random supermans. This one thankfully wasn't the train wreck that was me vs PL, it came down to the final hit of the set but he still took it. There is no reason I shouldn't have been able to win that set 2-0.
Hopefully after Frosty Faustings I'll be able to look back and say "I improved on all the things I listed."
