I haven’t played Streetfighter, but I’ve played a fighter game for 10 years. I have a strong comprehension when it comes to how to influence the probability of you winning. And I figured I share it to you. This may seem like tripe, but for me its essential. Let me begin by saying that, if you fight the strongest, you will become strong. Hence, sitting on the shoulders of giants. Your competition will influence on what you minimax. You can mold weak approaches and become more vulnerable fighting lesser players. I feel that it’s important for ‘reading’ purposes. The stronger your ability is to read your opponents the easier it is for you to punish them. Being pure movement and timing based is the art of fight games. It shows that passion and hours of play, how the human mind can progress in survival of the fittest and how far you can manipulate the fights in your own favor by reading and or feeling patterns. Learning to become the strongest, you’re constantly trying to make yourself complex and unpredictable. Players know that you become more predictable as you learn gimmicks, frames and movements. It takes thousands of deaths, if you’re dumb and stubborn like me, to reveal true top-tier movement and influence. You realize how much of a strong influence from the small movements you make. It’s an art like your painting a story for your opponent to punish him. Top tier players have this movement that’s so poetic in the sense that they know when your convinced about a particular approach or unconvinced and will follow through whichever he figures the opponent is going to react.
