I get that its a learning exp but i'd rather learn in a different env where there isnt as much pressure to learn/win at the same time

Fun fact: That exact scenario, the pressure to learn, is where you will find the most meaningful information for any match up.

A lot of our match last night was me discovering counterplay on the fly. I didnt lab Sheik/DH at all. I just adjusted while playing.

Same with RHK. I complain about disjoints 2732 times in friendlies, yet I strictly discipline myself in bracket to find ways around it.

I guess it comes down to my mentality. Playing in bracket definitely helps me learn, but it puts more stress on me to play better and i lise

Focus on learning. In friendlies its easier because there isnt the stress of focusing on winning, you can just learn.

Bracket may be more serious for both players, but at the same time if a top player knows you dont know what to do, they'll take advantage of

That and just mess with you to tilt you a bit more, like what happened with me and craftis. At one point he literally ran circles around me
