Yeah you wanna impress yourself, but I like to look for opponent's actions with as much anticipation. Like with Chun Li all I want is for you to jump at me and I will beat you with her HP 2peice and set up Kikosho or EX Bird Kick, but people won't just do what you want. So you either need CPU on expert kind of psychic reflexes or you influence the fucker to jump, which can be done many ways.
Most of the attacks you do should be bullshit feints waiting for mistakes, if you're facing a bright lad anyway. Some people can be eaten alive by routine attacks, not worth the forethought. Then you got guys like Drak or RoXer who wisely cover up character weaknesses and the mind games expand.
Overall, however, SF4's DNA still ebbs toward execution rather than mindgames; so Soulcalibur is more attuned to my competitive beliefs (Yomi, shit like that). It helps that SSF4 is balanced as all hell, which is why we all got so evenly skilled in a short period of time with our own characters.
But yeah, we need to stop looking for self gratifying set-ups. Got me killed too much.
