Hello! My name is Jarred, but I'm better known by my handle "GrunkleBarlowe." I've been competing in fighting game tournaments since 2014, and I am a top player in both BlazBlue: Central Fiction and Them's Fightin' Herds. I love teaching and coaching just as much as I love competing. Thanks to my background in education, I am great at articulating high level fighting game concepts. If you're looking for a well-spoken coach who can push you to the next level, look no further! I developed my skills through passion, persistence, and discipline. My journey to this level of play has been filled with walls and plateaus. As such, I posses a strong understanding of the the mental and physical challenges faced by aspiring competitors. My teaching style is focused on helping you develop long-term strategies for facing these challenges throughout your fighting game career. Some possible focuses for improvement include, but are not limited to: - General decision making. - Usage of resources and system mechanics. - Match-up development. - Proper usage of replays and training mode. - Developing strategies for efficient learning. - Dealing with tilt, tournament nerves, or other mental barriers. Everyone learns at a different pace. Whether you're stuck on a specific problem, or you have no idea where to begin, we can work on your improvement together. Book me for a session, I can't wait to work with you!
