How do you not autopilot?

[Irrelevant]

The reason reason you play good on autopilot is probably because you intuitively understand what to do in order to beat whatever your opponent is using(maybe not on a technical basis but simply on game mechanics)

Depending on how your mind works I see two ways to improve upon this way of winning:

Look more deeply into the mechanics your character is using in order to see if there are things you should do better.

Change what you do in certain situations to see if that needs to be improved(So like, "In this situation I would normally go for this strategy but I think I'll try this")

well, thats what works for me in any case.

There are lots of tactics that blow up autopilot hard, though. Things like throw reject miss will royally screw someone who autopilots during defense.

It's probably more that

A) their opponent was autopiloting themselves or

B) they didn't realize they were on autopilot and didn't punish it

When I play someone good, they don't let me get away with not thinking.

I don't know what throw reject miss is; But the reason I gave him those suggestions is because I think that he/she adapts that what the opponent does and gets used to it.

So if someone did enough of those, he;d probably counter it eventually.

I think in this case autopilot means react to your opponents moves not start playing with a pre-set plan.

throw reject is a tactic that beats throw teching
