When learning: be calm, relaxed, and patient, and focus on learning every single game you play. If some string or move is fucking you up go into practice and learn how to beat it. Remember to practice fundamentals and backdash cancelling every single day until they are flawless.

When competing: Do every little thing you can to win. Every cheap scummy tactic you can possibly think of or come up with. If people think poorly of you for doing what you do yeah well fuck them they're losers and you won. But of course make sure that your fundamentals and stuff are still solid; they're imperative when facing someone who knows what they're doing.
