Is guessing a skill?

If guessing is a skill, i am not skilled at it.
But that's just a guess.
Really though, i could not predict a counter if my life depended on it. High hold, mid hold, low hold, doesn't matter, it almost never, ever connects. I've come across some amazing players that seem like they can read minds. I'm talking about countering absolutely everything you throw at them, from jump punches, jump kicks, mid, high, low; you name it, they will counter it. It's not like my play pattern is entirely predictable either, i always try and mix things up abit when it looks as though my opponent has figured me out.
I love how they're so humble after they rip you to pieces too "You did well, keep training and you will become stronger. Thankyou for the fight and god bless"

Ehh, just grab them. I came across a Hitomi player who I thought was making godlike reads with all the parries and holds she was doing correctly. Then I just grabbed her constantly and she couldn't deal with that for some reason.

It does look like you've seen some shit...
Regardless I agree mostly with the educated guess department as well as pattern reading. For most characters, their strings only have a few options and at the most those options will be able to go in 4 directions (including mid string grabs which I count as highs... but I think christie strike grab might be a mid). Most of the time you'll have to make an educated guess on the option that they'll pick because just because some likes to do a low kick at the end of the string, doesn't mean they won't change it up and finish with the mid punch instead.
and I'm a prime example on patterns. When I'm out of range I usually come in with 3h+K on any character, once you know that, pretty much everything falls into place. Not saying that's gunna work for much longer though.
