Prolly a bit of exaggeration but i needed advice on the general outlook of the game that i should have, not something specific. Its true for me.

Definitely bump-worthy. Shffl cross-ups? Dash cross-ups? Excellent additions to my game.

I think this was one of the most informational things ive ever read. This can be applicable to any other FG as well.

question though: Ever since I went to a melee tourney this past weekend, Ive felt like my game cant improve at all. Ive been playing pretty low level players for a while now ( a lot before and a little bit since the tournament. ) Its gotten to the point where I can predict almost all their techs, their WDs, their attacks, and when they shield, and I can pretty much counter everything they do. I know I cant improve significantly from playing these people, but I do want to and I will dedicate myself to get better for the next high level players I play against. what mindset should I try to be in when playing these low level players?

Play people that are higher than your level. Thats what I usually do. (although you won't feel good about yourself sometimes, but you'll get better that way)

Although, I also feel like I can't improve, but I just keep playing.

Like the other guy said, play people who are better than you. You learn more from your losses than your wins, at least, you better lol

If you're beating these low level players consistently than you've run that pool of players dry of improvement. They should be improving more rapidly than you. Get some losses racked up against players that are better than you and reap experience and new lessons learned from your matches.

Sorry about that, this hasn't been updated in a while. Overswarm didn't want me to copy the whole article, he said he'd rather have a link to it, thats why it isn't entirely here, I dunno what to tell you =(
