I'm a Diamond 1 Marisa Main and my session was incredibly helpful, especially for someone like me with no prior SF or FGC background. She made the lesson super approachable and helped assess my game replays and point out ways I can improve. Super informative, responsive to questions, and amazing to work with. Definitely recommend!

I'm a Classic Diamond II Marisa main, and it was honestly lifechanging. I wish I was exaggerating, but I think she (very kindly) reworked and redefined pretty much every part of my gameplay in an hour, from my godawful round start, neutral, my win conditions, options in basic scenarios, etc. The session was roughly 30 min vod review/30 min teaching in practice room, but it seemed flexible! She also answered questions before the session, and invited me to the Marisa Discord for more resources after!

Street Fighter 6Never played a fighting game before (or never done more than button-mash)? This is your intro to Street Fighter 6's mechanics and general flow of gameplay, explained from the ground up. I can also explain any terminology (like DP) or notation (such as motion inputs) that you're unfamiliar with!

About me
JWong’s favorite modern Marisa. Sponsored by Paragon. Powered by ADVANCED energy drinks and Zenni Gaming glasses. Disaster bi. I also write YA. She/her. Avatar by Chatdy.
What is your experience with Street Fighter 6?
I started playing at launch with no prior experience, tested into ranked at rookie, and had absolutely no idea what I was doing. Now I have 1,000+ hours in the game on my home console, a team sponsorship with Paragon, and a peak of 1700s MR thus far in Master Rank. I got out of EVO 2024 pools on winners side, and I'm frequently top 8'ing (and sometimes winning) my local tournaments.
What characters do you play?
My main is modern Marisa, with whom I've peaked thus far at mid-1700s MR. The vast majority of my time on the game has been spent playing Marisa. I also recently started learning modern Ken as a pocket character, with a current peak of 1600 MR.
What control scheme do you use?
I play on a leverless controller--all buttons, no joystick.
Why do you look familiar?
You may have seen me around! I went viral to the tune of 1,000,000+ views defeating Justin Wong's Impossible Zangief challenge at NEC 2023. I was later selected as one of 8 contestants on Justin Wong's online SF6 reality show competition, NXT Up. I'm one of the mods on the Marisa Discord. I'm in a loooot of other Discords. And my original content may be somewhere in your algorithm.
What do you do in content creation?
I have a partnered YouTube channel with 2K+ subscribers, an affiliate Twitch channel 500+ followers, a Twitter with 2,400+ followers, a Bluesky alt with 1,000+ followers, and I've worked with assorted brands (Zenni Gaming, SGF Devices, and Hit Box Arcade.)
Are you friendly to [insert people group here]?
I am a bisexual, cisgender woman and a fierce ally of the entire LGBTQ+ spectrum. I also identify as disabled/neurodivergent due to my dyspraxia (which affects my fighting game fine motor execution) and my autism (which is why I'm so cool.) As long as you are respectful to me and of others, you are more than welcome here! I especially welcome queer and/or disabled/ND students who may feel more comfortable entering the FGC with the support of someone who shares their experiences.
Do you only teach modern players?
Much of my modern play also integrates motion inputs. While I prefer modern myself, I am happy to teach classic.
Do you only teach Marisa or Ken?
I only play modern Marisa and Ken, so I can't teach specific combo routing for other characters. What I DO have is a strong fundamental knowledge of the game itself and the ability to identify where your game plan may be faltering! (If you have highly character-specific questions I can't answer, I can help you find resources that can answer!)
