The Art of Teaching Fighting Games, Commentary, and More

Tavian ‘Philocypher’ Napier (@ThePhilocypher) discusses with Ace of Spuds (@AceOfSpuds_) about teaching fighting games.
Philocypher and Ace talk about the lack of good teaching within the community. The discussion was spurred by a post by Joe Munday talking about how fighting game players can’t explain their path of growth.
I think fighting games cause long term amnesia. Either current fighting game players forget how they got to their current skill level or they’re just terrible at explaining how they got there.

They lament the lack of good tutorials and coaching within the scene. But they provide solution of what can be done to teach more effectively. They go over some models of learning like the Feynman technique and the 4 stages of learning.
This is a great listen for anyone who creates tutorial content or coaches other players.
