What is the best way to think?
In a previous post I asked how to get better at the game and someone other than giving me tips through the post also taught me on the game directly and I found out he and really good players play totally differently from me, I play figuring out my opponent, trying to think like them, while good players take more in consideration risk and reward for example in a situation where I had used a free cancelable attack at the end of a combo he blocked, I had assumed he would know I would grab predicting the block and jump/grab so I used hold getting parried (I know hold is generally a bad move but it's pretty unexpected and beats most stuff especially at close range where they usually assume you'll grab) because he instead of trying to predict me decided that it was better to risk being grabbed which at most ended with a bit of damage (I was on mutant so I couldn't combo of it) than getting hit by a guardbreak
