If you don't underestimate your opponents you don't make silly mistakes because of confidence. You're better off not even taking their rank in consideration and just playing as if the person is amazing. | ||

I don't think it applies well to SC. A lot of skill in SC is based on reading your opponent, which does mean reading his skill level in the different areas of his play. You have to play differently depending who and what you're up against. Their history, the builds they know, their micro, their current mind-state, their current decision making, their influences, etc.. Iccup is like an expansion pack to SC. It adds simple new elements of play such as mind-games with "top rank?" and "where are you from?" and BMing to try and tilt the opponent. Maybe start every D ladder game with "I hope you like cheese!" It's legal, it's funny and it's genuinely effective. They'll be nervous, they'll scout early, etc.. Anyway, to answer the OP: Against really good P's in TvP, I'll play pretty greedy sometimes, cutting corners and trying my best to gauge goon count to get earlier facts and later e-bay. I need every edge I can get so I'll play hyper aggressive. The first person to attack gains a lot of initiative and a psychological advantage. Against D/C players, I will play way more safe, play way more defensively(if I care about my record. If it's purely practice, I will play greedy a lot so I can clearly find the line between too greedy and just greedy enough), not worrying about the psychological advantage of being the aggressor because I have the confidence already to beat them. And D/C players tend to throw units away and you can just wait for that and then unsiege and a-move. | ||

ZvP: I am aggressive early, and at some point I either go for broke or stop being aggressive and start macro whoring like crazy. Unfortunately once I start macro whoring it is hard for me to get back into aggression mode, which is why the longer a ZvP lasts, the more likely it seems that I will lose it. ZvT: I have difficulty being aggressive early against Terran. Unfortunately, I simply can't get my apm high enough to handle anything past middle game armies in ZvT. Idk, I am very cautious against Terran players and I shrink away from fights that I shouldn't, inevitably letting them force fights on their terms that I am doomed to lose. ZvZ: My best matchup, because I know about what you should have at any given time. I play super aggressive, but so does everybody else, so that isn't really surprising. | ||

More seriously though, I generally always expect my opponent to be a B or higher smurf wanting to noob-bash, so I play my best then pat myself on the back for being a nub who did his best when I get my wallin and first two tanks destroyed by 2 goons. | ||
