As long a time fighting game player since I was in high school, I've learned a lot about myself through my wins and my losses. In this session I discuss these experiences of self discovery with others, and we explore why fighting games struggle in terms of popularity compared to other genres. In this session I am accompanied by v115, one of the top Smash Bros Ultimate players in Ontario, and Initial T/Tiipots a top Canadian Guilty Gear player who placed top 5 at Canada Cup with a Steering Wheel.
