think i'd been feeling a little "going through the motions" with playing lately and kinda just jamming games without making conscious effort to focus on learning and improving, but tonight was a really nice reset to that. spent some time warming up in training mode practicing charge inputs, then hopped into matches. feeling a bunch more comfortable executing leo's fireball made neutral feel a lot better, though i'm still iffy at executing his DP in live matches. might have to practice that one some more. but overall it went great, felt a lot more comfortable going toe to toe with people in floor 4 and overall won more games than i lost (even despite ending the night going 0-9 against a ky i really struggled to win exchanges against. motivation to get stronger!)
