Fighting Games are often seen and talked about as a solo endeavor. You are solely responsible for the accolades and defeats that you face on your journey.
Patrick “pattheflip” Miller is a game developer, writer, and Jiu Jitsu aficionado that blogs about learning fighting games. He preaches the good word of playing Guilty Gear and uses the game as a medium for teaching fighting game fundamentals and the psychological aspects of high level play.
Pat argues in this essay that fighting with friends has a ton of practical benefits like being able to strategize as a group, having them check you on your bad habits, and shared accountability. These practical benefits also come with some great social benefits of having friends with a common goal and passion. He also gives some great advice on how to use the common interest of fighting games to win over some new friends.
