Facing Skilled VS Unskilled Opponents
The differences between fighting skilled and unskilled opponents can be many and varied. Skilled opponents think more deeply and respond better to what they're given, but can be fooled by feints and traps that unskilled fighters may never even perceive. Unskilled fighters can be wildly unpredictable and hard to strike without also being struck, but with a little care their ignorance of more advanced ideas can be taken advantage of. Each poses it's own problems and must be handled rather differently.
