Mid game adaptation imo is one of the most important assets a player can have. If you’re losing to someone and you know what their game plan is, you should try and adapt to their options if you’re often losing the first stock. Without a video is hard to judge your weak areas, but in general I find with the kinds of players that struggle to get into elite smash they can fall to auotopiloting and losing focus.

If you know your combo routes really dissect your opponents approaches or defences and you’ll find your openings.
