The Sixth Sense

(I started not to post this in fear of being flamed, but you know what? Screw the flame, I'm gonna ask my question.)

When your playing the Smash series, and your in the middle of a fight, do you have a sudden realization? Yoiu may have a hard at the start of the fight, but then you start dominating the opponent halfway through. It's almost like you develop a sixth sense or something. You can ultimately pick up on all your opponent's moves and know what they're gonna do next. It's an amazing feeling.

So my question is do you experience this level of smash, or am I just ranting on about nonsense?

yeah, but its not like a revalation, i just see my opponents patterns and weak points and capitalize. But sometimes, i do get "in the zone" so to speak

Yeah but I feel like I can react near instantaneous when I'm in the zone ... (I still don't act instantaneously though)

I can only anticipate all of my opponents movements, and send them back 7 fold if a certain Devil May Cry 3 soundtrack is playing in head.

Yeah, kinda like Megaman's Full Synchro, where you can see what your enemies are gonna do before they do it.

I was fight a Lucas once as MG&W, and whenever he approached, he would either use PK Fire and leap back, or use his running attack then Dsmash. I realized this, and I bucket'd every PK Fire that came out, and turtled whenever he attacked. In this way, I got a full bucket, waited for him to run at me, and knocked him out of the field. It was awesome.

tl;dr version: WATCH THE POWER OF AURA!

You're right, it is an awesome feeling.

The feeling of imminent victory.

...Or aura.

Hellz yes, I'm notorious for giving away the first stock too easily and then going Rambo on my opponent(s) and pwning everyone :D

Btw, shadenexus18, LOVE your sig.

Don't know if you can call it a sixth sense, but I seem to subconsciously improve in the middle of a battle. I guess you could call it adaptation too, but that requires a conscious effort on my part. I'm starting to think that attitude etc. is more important than I thought @____@

Sometimes I zone out, and suddenly become somewhat more skilled at dodging and anticipating my enemies moves. I press the controller subconsciencely as if it where breathing.

Aura? Nawww.

Yes, there are times when I do feel I have insight into my opponent's tactics, and those times are actually often. I just know everything he/she's going to do, even though I may not counter or evade it the right way.

For me, I play better on an adrenaline rush.

UNLESS I'm Pika, in which case I play better when I spam my opponent to 160% damage.

Your attitude concerning how to play each character is a huge factor in your ability to win. Lucario mainers understand this through the use of the term "going Azen on them," meaning after losing a stock, they suddenly get interested in the game and play significantly better than before.
