Whats the best way to work on consistency ?

I find that sometimes I do really well, and then sometimes I do really badly in my play.
I can have games where I get a Nice ken combo, space my opponent really well, get a few tippers in here and there, some nice ledge drop back airs and win. And then I have games where I up-smash instead of up-tilt, constantly miss techs, and just get pissy over it all.
Basically, my play is really inconsistent in the ways I described above. How exactly do I work on consistency?

(Also I always play people at around the same or above my skill level, so its not me going from fighting a terrible player to fighting a really good one)

Play a lot, take breaks, stay calm, adapt. Playing a lot will smooth out your tech skill errors. Taking breaks will keep you from getting too mad about things and it's good for your health lol. Getting angry won't help you play, it'll only make you concentrate on how bad you're doing and it won't help you do better by adapting to your opponent. Adapting is the most important thing you can do, the same thing won't always work.

Also water is good for you, drink it.

Ken Combo is actually not guaranteed at all. It only works on upward DI, so don't sweat it if you don't get it.

I have this same problem since ive only been playing competitively for a few months. And what Ive noticed that works for me is that i practice only for about an hour to two early in the day for a few days. then don't touch the game till the day or night before for another 2-3 hours and then just play and I don't do as bad. In the beginning i was practicing and playing people everyday and even tho a lot of practice is good i think over doing isn't good because it makes it easy to pick up on ****ty habits that carry over into playing people. So taking breaks and doing something at times is great.

To the OP, its literally just practice. Just go into training mode and keep doing whatever until you can get it 10 times in a row consistently. Combos are different, unless they're guaranteed combos, you''ll just have to react to the DI and punish from there. But of course first you need the tech skill to get your character to do that when the time comes. Spamming your characters movement, no matter how fast or slow the character is, is a great way just to know almost everything about your character so you can do those combos when the time comes up even though you had rarely practiced the combo. Over the past summer I basically just practiced nothing but movement on what most would call a slow character, and now that character is faster or equally as fast as a lot of the people I see at top level playing fast characters except the fastest of the fast characters like SilentWolf or Jeapie, just no one knows if cuz i dont upload videos or go to tournies you can believe me or not. Just keep practicing you'll get there trust me.
