I think this is very common, I go into high and lows, some nights, I can win anything, no matter the opponent no matter the match up, I am unbeatable.
Other nights, I am a scrub. I fall for shit I thought I was past, I am off my game, i make the wrong reads and drop combos and punishment chances like i never spend one minute in training room.
Being consistant is the best ability for any tournament player, and not everyone has it.
only when i play ST and 3s… I learned how to charge partition in 3s, and how to super cancel in st through " being in the zone".
I don’t think this is quite the same thing. What we are talking about is a shift to a mental state where you “see” things differently. Yes, it sounds like I’m high, I know.
You mean like this?

Happens once in a while.
I was in this full lobby with a really good Ryu player that was beating everyone and when it was my turn I beat and perfected him on the last round. I was probably the worst player in that lobby and whenever I watch that replay I think “there’s no way that should have happened”
It happens to me everytime I get high. When I’m sober, I cant play Marvel for real, but when I get high as fuck, I can play like a GOD. At first it was just Marvel, but now its like all of my games lol. That’s one of the reasons I look forward to these upcoming 3d fighters. 3D fighters are really easy for me to understand and play. not as much as 2d fighters. I had to work my ass off to get good at those.
Happens to me occasionally. I don’t put much thought into it so I usually just put it down to my mental state at the time, how energetic I feel, when last I ate/drank etc etc.
I totally know what this is like. I’ll have weeks, like 3 in a row where I play like this, EVERY SINGLE MATCH. I’ll be beating players that I KNOW are better than me on average, but because i’ve got this heightened state of awareness going on, they can’t touch me. I think some of it, is that I’m willing to take more risks when I’m playing in the zone like that and sometimes I feel like the guy on the other end is like, “He’s not gonna do tha…OH SHIT, he DID!!”
It’s awesome. It makes the game so much more fun because I feel like I’m operating on the level I SHOULD be, but can’t always.
