I have been writing about fighting games for a long time, and I am very good at it, so here's a thread of my greatest hits for folks who are new to the Patrick Miller Experience. I love FGs because they push people to improve themselves, so that's usually what I focus on. (Art by @koh.money) #fgc - ThreadSky

From Masher to Master: The Educated Video Game Enthusiast's Fighting Game Primer was one of my first instructional works! It started out as an @insertcredit.com article I wrote bc people kept asking me to teach them FGs. Still holds up OK.

Most of my writing from the last few years is over at https://pattheflip.medium.com, and the one that really kicked things off there is "TL;DR: Play Guilty Gear".

I wrote this bc I felt I was losing my love of FGs trying to like SFV, and Xrd helped me find it again.

"I don't have time to play fighting games competitively" was a fun one bc I was able to get specific and demystify the learning process instead of just telling people to play a lot and deal with it. Learning to practice a skill is powerful stuff!

That one would later be adapted into my Hard Reads video series on Core-A Gaming: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2sZplDZpOyY

I'm not above a good listicle, so here's "8 skills I learned from fighting games (and you can too)"

I am not exaggerating when I say that everything good in my life was enabled by the growth I got from FGs, and I want to share that with others who need it.

"Playing against weaker players is good for you" was another important one that helped a lot of my readers build healthier relationships with their fellow players. Using PvP matches to experiment makes it valuable for players across skill gaps.
