TJPuma is a GrandMaster 2XKO competitor, coach and content creator. This site is where the video work gets written down — the breakdowns, the guides and the tools that come out of playing and teaching this game every week.
The short version: over a decade competing at the highest levels of fighting games, more than a hundred players coached, two esports organisations founded, and a day job in motion graphics that explains why everything here is a little over-designed.

What you’ll find here
Everything on this site comes out of games actually played, not summarised from somewhere else.
- The blog — written breakdowns of the YouTube videos, with real gameplay screenshots. Coaching sessions, matchup work, character tech and the occasional honest post about losing.
- Guides — reference pages for characters, systems and fundamentals, from fuses and the tag system to numpad notation.
- The tier list maker — a free interactive tool built for this site. Drag, rank, share your list.
- Coaching — one-to-one sessions and free VOD reviews.
- The shop — stream overlays, digital tools and FGC merch.
The approach
Most fighting game content tells you what to press. The aim here is to explain when it fails, what it costs, and how to tell whether it worked — because that’s the part that actually moves you up a rank.
That also means being honest when something isn’t good. If a character is mid, the guide says so. If a flashy route does less damage than the simple one, that gets measured and written down. Nothing here is sponsored.
