Patrick Miller, author of the excellent From Masher to Master strategy ebook, has a knack for identifying broad ways in which a player can improve in fighting games. Such is the case when a viewer asked him about how to improve via watching your own replays — and though Patrick’s answer cites specific examples within Guilty Gear Xrd, his way of thinking is universally useful.
Patrick regularly uploads gems like these, but we figured this no-nonsense framing of what a fighting game match actually is would be particularly insightful for players struggling to move up ranks. If you enjoyed this, check out his YouTube channel for more theoretical dissections.
