I've honestly loved this game, played it casually through the years, and not once have I memorized a pattern. I just do what's best for me at any given moment, and do my best to wreck the opponent when it suits me. My main recommendation is to stick with 'high form' mode, all the other modes just don't work for me.
That said, I don't play it competitively. If I were to, this may well be an issue.
