getting some elphelt mirror match experience in really highlights my biggest issues as a player - i'm really good (or, at least decent) in neutral, but my execution is pretty poor comparatively so i have to win way more interactions to actually close out a round.
which makes sense, i've always been bad with combos, and it really just comes down to needing to spend more time drilling in training mode. which my ADHD ass is completely allergic to lmao
but honestly? i'm happy to be at the skill level i'm at, because i'd rather be someone who can effectively play neutral but can't do big damage conversions over a combo fiend who never gets to do their big flashy combos because they can't get in
