looking at more advanced players though, you can look and see what they want to do. theres more thought and logic behind their moves. they have play styles that you can recognise and relate to.
Definitely not just you, I feel the same way.
For me it has to do with the level of competition I'm adjusted towards. I don't ever think I can play all that well if I don't get to play Snudge or Logic in the last day or so. If I'm not forced to really step it up, then I feel like I "settle" and then develop bad habits.
The only way I get out of it is either finding that steep competition somewhere, or set goals independent of winning for me to accomplish that way I can push myself. Like hit a certain speed, only touch the ground with my hands a certain amount of times in a game, etc.
old player, bad habits.
cant teach an old dog new tricks etc.
then again, put me against players like kamiko, ticux and kristis, and i can compete, even win sometimes.
put me against newer players and i just eat the floor every game.
you cant look at new players and think you know how theyr gna move from turn to turn, you cant predict what theyll do and react accordingly. you just have to hope you have a better offense than them.
