Calling all gaming students! UC Berkeley is set to spice up the Spring 2024 semester with a unique class centered around the world of fighting games.

This isn’t just about mastering combos and executing flawless moves;
it’s a deep dive into the impact of the genre on a global scale.

The course, as outlined in UC Berkeley’s description, aims to guide newcomers to a mid-level of play, ensuring a seamless introduction to the captivating realm of fighting games. Geared towards those with less than 100 hours of gaming experience, this class is tailor-made for beginners looking to up their game.

But there’s more to it than just honing your skills. The class will unravel the influence of fighting games on Japanese culture, acting as a gateway to understanding the nuances of modern Japanese society.

Now, here’s the catch – you need to be a UC Berkeley student to snag a spot in this exciting class. However if you are, picture this: every Tuesday and Thursday from 5 PM to 6:30 PM, you’ll be immersed in the world of combos and culture. Act fast, though – the application deadline is January 24th.
