"It's very easy to plateau in fighting games": GekkoSquirrel talks about his love for GGS Giovanna, his expectations for Project L, Street Fighter 6, and more
Nate “GekkoSquirrel” has only been making fighting game content on YouTube for a few years now, but most of his content is educational, hilarious, and insightful. GekkoSquirrel’s YouTube channel is home to many videos about fighting games, where he brings a wealth of knowledge to newcomers and veterans alike.

While most players (this writer, included) have been playing fighting games for years, it's difficult to play them at the highest skill level, which is why many fans appreciate this form of educational fighting game content.
