My first time analyzing viewer replays since I first started the channel. If this vid does well, we'll do another one, so follow the twitch/twitter to stay posted if you want your replay reviewed (we took a look at a lot more replays than what was shown in the video). Appreciate you all 🙏
i play modern gief and i feel my norms kind of suck and i get out ranged by other players in neutral mainly those low kicks wat do i do besides using the knee. i also noticed my sweep doesn't always win against some characters is this true or am i just doing inputs a bit slow. im diamond btw modtiergod
Loved this breakdown and analysis Diaphone! As someone who loves these types of videos, it really helps a ton, even with watching rookie level gameplay. There's always something you can take from any level of play, and apply it to your own!
You do a great job of showing examples in the training room along with the footage. It's like a math teacher giving a real life example of how to use a problem.
Just wanna second this, this is one of if not the most awesome SF6 video I’ve seen yet, like from anyone. This is the type of stuff that realllllllly helps people grow as players. Doing god’s work brotha 💪🏼💪🏼
I'm sure it adds a lot of work, but those training mode clips demoing the options you're talking about really set this apart from other viewer replay analysis content. I also love that you're focusing mainly on plat/diamond players. That's where advice starts being less about basic mechanics, and more about decision making.
Once I saw the examples visualized alongside his suggestions I knew Diaphone was dropping banger content Can only go through so much analysis where the only feedback is: "could have done [x] better"
hey i'm the second aki from the patience section. first, i just wanted to say thank you to you and your editor for putting so much effort into your youtube content and for giving me the opportunity to get my gameplay reviewed. i was afraid that my mistakes would be too low quality to gain meaningful insights from, but your advice was really helpful to me and something i needed to hear in that moment. watching someone else watch my gameplay from a fresh perspective really helped me to be more objective about my level of play and gain a better understanding of how to improve. i was in a slump when i asked for a gameplay review, but your advice was encouraging and gave me an idea to anchor myself to. again, thanks to you and everyone in stream who watched my gameplay and gave me encouragement and advice. i really appreciate it. 🙇♂
That eebbaa guy isn't bad. He's just in that stage where he learned the game, so he's thinking about every possibility and being extra careful. Once he realizes he has to take some risks he'll be catapulted to diamond
appreciate it brah i think i picked up the habit of being too patient from playing too many games in low ranks where you can win by waiting for people to make huge mistakes and punishing them. i'm trying to focus on taking more initiative now and finding a balance between being aggressive and making sure to take calculated risks.
@@eebbaa5560 Don't forget a loss means there's learning. You won't learn much by steamrolling players but getting your a$$ handed to you. So IMO it's all good to go YOLO so you can find what works and what doesn't while also providing pressure. But that's my take anyway, anyone concur or nah?
This is the exact stage I’m in, I’m still in silver and I can win by just waiting for somebody to throw out something unsafe and then punish, but I know in my HEART that my pressure game is dogshit and as soon as I gotta start going on offense it’ll all start falling apart
The extra effort you put into making examples and lining up the timing for them to show better pressure/combos and stuff was awesome. Im sure that took a lot of work
This video was really helpful, i have an issue with being over patient like the AKI you were watching. I get flustered when fighting people who are over aggressive and don't take my turn. Being in platinum everyone plays very aggressive so i end up losing a lot
hey i'm the aki he was reviewing here. i think part of the reason why i played so passive is because i subconsciously felt like aki didn't have the tools to compete in neutral, so i was too passive and tried to wait for people to make big mistakes. being patient works in gold and below, but in plat, you kind of have to take the game into your own hands or you'll just get run over. i haven't played much since the review, but i think i'm getting better at taking initiative.
My way of taking initiative is just drive rushing to win neutral and taking the risk to drive rush cancel combo despite the big cost so I can maximize an opportunity.
Easily some of the best SF6 content as of recent, as someone else mentioned the cut of the training room vids are awesome to see. I really hope this does well enough to make more of.
Diaphone really is great at making content. I am currently watching a lot of Brian F, Nephew, Sajam, Diaphone, Anime Illuminati and I guess Justin Wong. Brian F, Sajam and Diaphone feel like the most helpful in the way they present things, but I feel like Diaphone is arguably the best or at least most polished.
I love your videos. They have helped me understand the game more, and improve. Went to my 1st local tournament and was able to absorb way more because of what your videos taught me.
Thanks for the tips! I think the one that helped me the most was doing normal in to drive rush when you're not sure if you have the punish in time. Definitely gonna add that to my game plan!
For anyone wondering why Diaphone is pointing out 'one and doneing' alot, it's the same reason why tournament format is also Best of 3 and not Best of 1. Fighting games, especially SF6, have tons of options to account for. This means that you can *never fully figure out a player's gameplan in a single game.* This is why you should never take one single loss to heart, the first game you should always ask yourself 'how does this player play the game' and figure that out as much as you can. You can spend the second game to punish all of these tendencies and with the balance of patience vs agressivenes you can spend the third game finally applying your *own* pressure.
Thank God a modern Kim showed up. I wanted to stop by the stream but I was busy. I'll be saving a replay for whenever you do this again because this my 1st time actually taking street fighter serious like learning combos and the game mechanics
Great stuff, love this kind of spot checking replay analysis. The points are clearly explained and the training mode examples in real time are a really fantastic addition. The strengths and weaknesses of different players is always interesting, the guy wake up DP'ing the safe jumps is a really clear mistake to me but I'm a similar rank to that player so I am likely making similarly equally big mistakes in my games, its just always harder to see it in yourself. Great content, keep it up!
In my experience rookies are amazing at doing complicated combos (and set ups sometimes) but they're still easy to beat because they don't know fundamentals.
To simplify your patience advice fighting games are rock (passive), paper(establish), and scissors (Preemptive). Passive beats preemptive because you can wiff punish or react to react able option, preemptive beats establish because if you're sticking out buttons and they're holding forward they will run into your fist, and establish beats passive because if you run up with a quick button or grab passive play can't react. Just observe what your opponent does then choose the option that beats it.
If you end up doing more I need to catch ya on. Lol I feel like I’ve hit a wall and been wishing for someone better to tell me what I could practice on or what is it I’m missing. Love these types of videos. Did this for my overwatch a few years back and it helped a lot.
I started my SF6 journey on Monday 10/23/2023, played Manon reached Bronze after placements and Iron with Marisa, after labbing and learning more (and regaining stuff I lost from not playing fighting games in like 4-5 months) I reached Bronze with Marisa and currently with a 6 win streak, goal for now is Gold as it was my rank in V and just have fun while improving. Despite having experience this video will help me a bit here and there!
the AKI player that kept holding up on wake up, I feel like a lot of us are stuck in that mind set. He opened with 3 points (1) combo execution could be better, (2) struggle in neutral, (3) struggle with keeping pressure. He was so focused on offense that he thought he was losing matches cuz his offense was lacking. When in reality it was his disinterest to play defense that was getting him ok'd. Granted it was only one example, but in that match he never had the opportunity to show where he's at with his 3 point because he just didn't wanna block. I feel like way too many people plat and below just refuse to block.
Do you mind splitting out a chapter for each player next time? Great content that I'd be down to watch tons more of. The immediate training mode examples you spliced in are an excellent touch.
I got from Plat to Diamond becuase for the entirety of July, everyone thought neutral jump was the best way to fight Kimberly. Defense is worth labbing, too! If you ciuldve defended yourself in a way that covers multiple options from the opponent and gets yoi a punish, but you didn't, youre leaving damage on the table with your own defense.
That last Kimberly was insane because why can you do combos but be in rookie?? I got through rookie with grabs, target combo, I didn't know what linked into what and I feel like if you can do that, as long as you don't make mistakes, you'll be breezing through rookie to silver, interesting thing I've seen on reddit was a Marisa player that could do some 60% damage combo but was bronze for some reason, after that huge combo, the opponent jumped in and beat the remaining 30% of Maria's HP and it's so confusing seeing players that can (consistantly?) dish out damage just lose to a single mistake in such low ranks where everything is just mistakes on mistakes
I played against the 1 and done Kimberly yesterday. She one and doned me as well. Got curious and checked her profile and cannot find a single instance of her rematching anyone 😂
Ye this is dope even I feel like I play better than the matches in this video, I still make some of the same mistakes and don’t know my option…. Ie the safe jumps you were talking about
Hey if I wanted to get a reaction on a match how would I go bout doing that. Love the way you break down mistakes in matches a really like the tips you give throughout.
really nice video, im stuck in platinum so im looking for ways to get better, but i think my defense is weak, need to focus more on anti air and tech...
Problems with SOME moderns i encounter, maybe diamonds and below is, they just mash autocombos in every opportunity they got without knowing if its safe, or if its the best option in the situation. Making them easy to beat, ... most modern masters, still use classic motions in their characters and barely use autocombos
please more. I find it hard to analyze my replays right. I only see my errors but don't see what is the answer. Also it is hard for me to stay in the training mode more then 30 minutes. I understand I have to train my combos and other things but I am bored really fast. So I am learning really slow and these videos are easier for me to learn new things :)
I mean you can always just jump on casual that's what i usually do, small sessions on lab and then real matches on casual. since i started doing this my rank skyrockted and i'm being a lot more consistent
The reason you're probably staying in training mode for no more than 30 minutes is bc you're not looking at ways to make training mode more engaging besides practicing combos. Start a training session against ken, put it on block all, go into reversal settings and put 2 slots on 'on block' and 'after damage', both crouching light punch and crouching medium kick. (The thing most kens press during your strings. And just practice pressuring.
i need to learn more and try to use practice mode better, i just try doing battle hub a lot because i want to be able to get through these battle pass things and the game gives you next to no points for it in any mode outside that but every time i go there i just get curb stomped and feel depressed and not wanting to try playing the game anymore
You just need to understand alot, footsies is a key example, it's not just about which move you use. Ie luke crouch mp, if you space it out correctly then if blocked you are free from all damage whilst if you hit you can drive rush in for a combo. Use it incorrectly and it dosent matter you used mp you're in danger

I’d like to see what you have to say about some of my videos. I’m struggling advancing in silver.
It was a fun watch and you actually showing solutions to the situations is really great for those struggling. More of these please
Thanks for sharing I learn alot
You do a great job of showing examples in the training room along with the footage. It's like a math teacher giving a real life example of how to use a problem.
Just wanna second this, this is one of if not the most awesome SF6 video I’ve seen yet, like from anyone. This is the type of stuff that realllllllly helps people grow as players. Doing god’s work brotha 💪🏼💪🏼
Definitely agree.
Second second this part, that is what actually helps me think and hopefully improve.
You get a sub for that alone
I'm sure it adds a lot of work, but those training mode clips demoing the options you're talking about really set this apart from other viewer replay analysis content.
I also love that you're focusing mainly on plat/diamond players. That's where advice starts being less about basic mechanics, and more about decision making.
My thoughts exactly, really helps people visualise what you're talking about, keep up the good work!
Once I saw the examples visualized alongside his suggestions I knew Diaphone was dropping banger content
Can only go through so much analysis where the only feedback is: "could have done [x] better"
hey i'm the second aki from the patience section. first, i just wanted to say thank you to you and your editor for putting so much effort into your youtube content and for giving me the opportunity to get my gameplay reviewed. i was afraid that my mistakes would be too low quality to gain meaningful insights from, but your advice was really helpful to me and something i needed to hear in that moment.
watching someone else watch my gameplay from a fresh perspective really helped me to be more objective about my level of play and gain a better understanding of how to improve. i was in a slump when i asked for a gameplay review, but your advice was encouraging and gave me an idea to anchor myself to.
again, thanks to you and everyone in stream who watched my gameplay and gave me encouragement and advice. i really appreciate it. 🙇♂

@@eebbaa5560 I'm at a similar point in this game so I feel you lol. Improvements may be small but they all count, keep at it

This is a high quality youtube video. All the cuts to training room footage showing off what you're explaining is great, thanks for the effort
Thank you weeding out that one and done guys.
There are so many of them around in ranked, it is unbelieveable.
This was awesome! I'd also love to see you review your own replays as well.
I’d love to see a dedicated tech showcase for Kim and aki. Set ups, tricky strings, etc. would be a fun video.
Loved the video. The examples showing the tips literally were great! Sent it to some friends also
Easily some of the best SF6 content as of recent, as someone else mentioned the cut of the training room vids are awesome to see. I really hope this does well enough to make more of.

Great content. Love that you showed an example of your advice each time. Should help a lot of players this way. Thanks
I dont remember anyone showing the solutions to the situations edited into the video. Makes it way better to understand what you should have done
I love your videos. They have helped me understand the game more, and improve. Went to my 1st local tournament and was able to absorb way more because of what your videos taught me.

Thinking about that platinum AKI never holding back to block.
One of the best viewer analysis videos out there.
Great analysis. Plz keep doing these. Small details i learned. Like the height of the jump during parry. Good stuff

Some high-quality content. Love fighting game analysis.
I really enjoyed this. It helps me project my frustration at my casual buddies hahaha
These reviews are really helpful, especially when you cutaway to a visual example in training mode!
This vid was awesome, learned a lot just from your commentary, would definitely love to see this again
Thanks for showing the training mode examples it's really helpful

Man didn't pay 60$ plus DLC to hold UP Diaphone. lmao
Yesss more replay reviews!!
That was an amazing analysis video
Followed these tips, now I'm starting diamond 😤. I still need to optimize and learn my frame data but im gettin there.
Lol the stress in some of those replays he evaluates is hilarious.
User replays are very useful for the community because they represents a skill level more approximating the viewers level i hope these continue.
Loved the video. The training rooms clips are much appreciated as well. Only sad there was no ryu replays lol

5:20 I'm dead not the Psychic sound effect
I'm pretty sure the Kimberly at the start was actually mashing the heavy auto combo
I loved it, helps me learn from others mistakes!
dude this is awesome! do you do coaching and stuff?
yes, please make more videos like this one!
very entertaining this gonna be a great series
Do you mind splitting out a chapter for each player next time? Great content that I'd be down to watch tons more of. The immediate training mode examples you spliced in are an excellent touch.
Any more kim videos? Any goals in mind? Maybe chasing legend rank? Love the coaching videos. Hope you do more.
Of course :)

great video even if i dont play most of the characters shown. lots to learn
Ahhh i miss when people make big mistakes over and over. It feels so rare in masters so far. 😫😩
Damn, amazing video!!
I loved this. Do it again!
If you do decide to do this again, how should we go about submitting clips? I have a view clips I’d love to see reviewed 😁
i love these series
Love this woild be amazinf kf you made it a series or a regular thing

Koobuku if you see this I’m sorry bro but watching you get hit by literally everything was hilarious 😭
Great video 😊
This content is really good, as others have stated those training mode clips over your explanations are od.
This is excellent content
Ye this is dope even I feel like I play better than the matches in this video, I still make some of the same mistakes and don’t know my option…. Ie the safe jumps you were talking about
what’s the answer to kim teleporting at mid screen. ik i can just block but she can go for an overhead, low or grab after the teleport
amazing examples to go with commentary. noob bronzie here learning
As a bronze player this is super helpful. Might rewatch this every once in a while.
I didn't know one and done was bad :O. All my matches are that lul. Will make adjustments.
Loved this
Enjoyable, and very informative. Subscribed!
Cook the chat again! Super fun watch.
I want more of this
Hey if I wanted to get a reaction on a match how would I go bout doing that. Love the way you break down mistakes in matches a really like the tips you give throughout.
This was rad
One-and-done is only acceptible in a few occasions. Diarrhea, ‘gonna be late for work’ (if it’s true at least)… maybe something else.
That is a cool ass idea. Do you also consider people from your youtube comments as possible review material? That would be awesome
Waiting for next episode already
really nice video, im stuck in platinum so im looking for ways to get better, but i think my defense is weak, need to focus more on anti air and tech...
Why is budget Brian f out here with the match inspection
I hope you do another video like this

Start a training session against ken, put it on block all, go into reversal settings and put 2 slots on 'on block' and 'after damage', both crouching light punch and crouching medium kick. (The thing most kens press during your strings. And just practice pressuring.
30 minutes is already a lot of training mode. I like to training mode for a little bit, then play matches and lab stuff out for a bit etc, break it ip
please do this more
Hi, may I ask how do we counter kens crouh medium kick?
I play 0 of these characters but I think I came away with some stuff. Really like this video it is super well made.
i need to learn more and try to use practice mode better, i just try doing battle hub a lot because i want to be able to get through these battle pass things and the game gives you next to no points for it in any mode outside that but every time i go there i just get curb stomped and feel depressed and not wanting to try playing the game anymore
You just need to understand alot, footsies is a key example, it's not just about which move you use. Ie luke crouch mp, if you space it out correctly then if blocked you are free from all damage whilst if you hit you can drive rush in for a combo. Use it incorrectly and it dosent matter you used mp you're in danger
Love this
If they're walking, they ain't blocking.
Just started watching right now and my guess is I do 110% of these mistakes regularly
