It’s official: The PGstats YouTube channel is live!
While Panda’s main channel and Panda Fighting Games focus on the casual audience, PGstats content is geared towards those looking to take a deeper, stats-driven dive into their favorite competitive titles. Kicking off with content for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Melee, the goal is to expand into other fighting games as well.
The channel to date boasts a selection of longform data-based analyses,along with insightful interviews with top competitors now that in-person events have returned.
