Many players telegraph what they're about to do.
The problem with some people is that they're too focused on what their ghost is looking like, so they're not gonna be countering their opponent's next move.

Try playing without both player's ghost, it really emphasizes on prediction. Good practice for trial and error guessing.

Yeah, no.

You can post it but only if you articulate how to get smart and no watching the show doesn't count.

Nah I, as a ex-duelist, completely like Game Plan vs Free Flow instead haha.

Whats the difference?

Game plan changes every frame, as you make small or big adjustments.
