I've been playing for about a year and a half now, and I feel like I am at the point where my tech skill doesn't have to be the center focus during my matches anymore. What I seem to be having issues with is watching for my opponents habits, as well as making myself not so predictable. I play with my brother daily and he is very good at adapting to certain situations and different peoples playstyles. On the other hand, I get very stuck into a single way of thinking during games. I think this may have to do with the fact that up to this point, I've been focusing solely on out maneuvering and execution, rather than reading and unpredictability. I play a very aggressive falco and will find myself getting caught by the same things frequently, however, when I try to switch it up and play more defensively I'll be dissected rather quickly again. I've tried to make a conscious effort but I just cannot seem to pick out what it is my opponent is doing before they figure me out. So my main question to you would be are there any ways to train myself or practice applying the mental aspect of melee?
