Fighting Game Psychology: Mental Loops Vol. 1

This is a short book about the recurring psychological loops in competitive fighting games. These are the patterns behind ranked frustration, tournament discourse, and the same arguments that replay online.

It is not here to give you “how to win” steps.
It is here to name what is actually happening under the surface, so you can stop getting pulled around by it.

No matchup advice.
No tier lists.
No secrets.
No Game Fu core material.

Just clarity.
