Stop Blaming "Cheap" Tactics
Tutorial · 2025
Stop Blaming "Cheap" Tactics is a fighting game tutorial uploaded by James Chen (jchensor) in 2025. This tutorial breaks down the creative routing, frame-perfect timing, and character-specific execution that drives competitive fighting game play — the kind of execution-and-strategy detail you can take into your own training mode. From the original post: "In fighting games, it's easy to blame the meta, broken characters, or cheap tactics when we lose. But there is a massive roadblock preventing you from actually improving: Your Ego."
