A couple months ago, I decided to try a little experiment in Melee. Whenever I played by myself, I would just go into training mode and combo for all I was worth. I started to only play off-speed, 1/4 speed to 2x speed, switching back and forth often. Most of you know this, but one of the ways the brain learns is through "osmosis", where being around or exposed to certain information allows you to absorb said information. Playing at the lower speeds for a while got me to react to frame data more... fluently? I guess that's the appropriate word for it. Playing at faster speeds (and yes, admittedly SD-ing at higher speeds) slowed the game down for me perceptively when playing at normal 1x speed.
TL;DR Off-speed training made me see Melee better. Any thoughts on this? What do you guys do to make your brains Melee better?
