Keeping things brief, this vid addresses the “phenomenon” when you play someone for a good while and eventually start doing really well against them, only to fight someone else and feel like you haven’t improved at all.

In other words, for a lot of us, we’ll do quickplay and find someone who sticks around for a bit, bodies us, but after a while we find a rhythm and get comfortable; but I argue that taking this long to get comfortable is not indicative of anything good and that one must be careful in determining if they’re learning anything useful after long strings of matches, or if they’re just becoming hard-wired to that one person’s unique and subtle nuances they’d otherwise never have such time to learn in a tournament.

If the vid isn’t helpful, I at least hope you don’t suffer a sudden decrease in IQ because of it.
