The Third Strike One Week Challenge

[@I.HEAR.A.SOUND.]

This character selection section is so well edited...

[@oscarvini]

1 Week training, 1 year editing the video 😂

[@oscarvini]

and yes, it was worth it

[@char-rez83]

but the edit is CLEAN. . . :)

[@kohalurker]

timeless game, the vid can't be late :v

[@sham_noway]

i think its beyond funny that the Q won 10-0 despite having zero combos from the command grab oh my days

[@SuperArt7]

It's not when JMcrofts isn't really nice in the game. Diaphone is a better player overall...I'm not surprised 😅😂

[@MrDanno]

@@SuperArt7 and yet JM then went 3-0 afterwards lol

[@gustavosanabio473]

@@MrDanno Its because when Diaphone played Q, it strips away everything that he might have worried about, it striped away all the stuff he was struggling with all week, all the dropped combos, the huge parry mental stack. All that was left was his fundamentals, which are astronomically higher then JM

[@nintendork9207]

​@@gustavosanabio473Yeah, its wild how often people forget that mental stack can really fuck with people's play, so they almost completely forget that with decent fundamentals, you can get pretty far just off that.

[@ELNIPLO]

if you think croft, a player that's in this game for years, can lose 10 - 0 with a one week player you gotta be delutional, this was so fake i even gave it thumbs down. YOU CAN EVEN SEE THE GUY GOING D HK FROM AFAR LIKE A MORON...REALLY?

[@whoasupercrazy]

The Q pick into 10-0 was the biggest twist of 2024. Absolute cinema.

[@YaBoiJosid]

DAWG this might be the best 3S video i've seen editing godlike, Anime arc was fire, Truly peak diaphone/Caste!

[@walkingking707]

JM is gonna be gassing your Q at every bar conversation after the tournament

[@AnonFuzz]

Bro really slept on Q only for him to rise up as the best.

[@KraZeOzone]

They always be doing my boy Q dirty til they see hes legit asf

[@SaruWaza]

Not only is the video extremely fun to watch, but the editing is amazing. The Third Strike effects were recreated beautifully, such a joy to watch.

[@HafusAndLegacy]

My favorite part was when you said you gotta get washed to get clean.

[@goob8945]

Yea I’m stealing that

I mean, shit ... It's true I'm so, so clean too lol

great video and love the challenges/concept. would love to see a part 2 vs. Jwong. obvi that’s his game but could do bonus round with bans again or something different to level the playing field a bit. also SMUG is a bit newer to this game as well, would be another fun collaboration

[@stockyoinker6490]

Jm I love your contenttttt

[@stockyoinker6490]

Just realized im on the wrong channel but i love ur content too. Todays a good day

[@Crowlo17]

I’m laughing so fucking hard right now 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@mistah_mojo]

This video is so good! It's cool to see that the learning process applies to EVERYONE!! Having your commentary was really cool throughout this

[@calmguru1274]

Does this start a cascade of challenging commentators / content creators to their choice of game to establish dominance? I hope so

[@char-rez83]

What I enjoyed most about this video is that he didn't just show the victories, He also showed the losses. For me it really helped to demo the learning Process, and it was inspiring. Keep it up.

[@gustavomelhoramigodaellen]

the Q 10-0 was crazy!!!

[@bryan-zn8qc]

great video. Seeing you go through the hoops of learning a game was awesome. I've never heard JM sound so serious in my life

[@RedLineOneGC]

U make some of the best fighting game videos....VERY informative in your videos...my fav ones are any time u review footage and implement clips of what ur taling about for visual clarity...whether its the scrub quote vids or reviewing your own footage...its dope as hell

[@ghostdesignstv]

this was a really good watch! it was more interesting than a series about who can hit master the fastest, because you get to see the thought process and progression!

[@El-Burrito]

Holy crap I've been waiting for this vid since I saw JM with the baldjam PFP

[@cyborkninja1139]

Best JM diaphone moment is the "I lost" Aki tweet, that was peak

[@MrPotatoParty]

Bro is counter picking twelve. THE LACK OF SHAME!

[@pscwplb]

Never apologize for picking Q. Always apologize for not picking Q.

[@bigeoof1804]

Only 2 minutes in, the editing is SO much damn fun already and the premise is clear and compelling

[@Comrade-Broski]

I'm ready for the Diaphone Retro game arc

[@ericesn]

Nice video. Very friendly vibe, but still playing to win. Love to see it!

[@VoyivodaFTW1]

Such a good video. Amazing content, editing, and the ending was just icing on the cake. Amazing collab with the legendary JM Crofts. Great character variety. PERFECT!!!

[@sparksdojo9091]

The funniest thing is to watch you literally learn why people love this game so much during your journey. It was beautiful! Much love man! Keep up the great content!

[@Gonbebe]

This is one of your best videos yet, such a fun watch.

[@Manus_Factum]

I love that Diaphone enjoys the "now, fight a new rival" as much as I do

[@manuelito1233]

Godlikke editing and training arc. this was SICK. Goddamn WILD

[@Turnabout]

This was a fantastic video. One of your best! And your hair was on point!

[@valerius9751]

The Q games were crazy. The runback games were very entertaining as well

[@Wanderer-lj1gt]

You know, I think it's really cool you talked to shodokan and actually learned the character and all his intricacies. Thanks, not a lot of content creators would go out of their way to actually find the best people to teach a character

[@Eggroll3s]

You made very interesting character choices, but I remember seeing the stream where you decided on it so it makes more sense. Glad to see you bringing 3rd Strike to a more modern audience!

[@starryknight5555]

The editing was immaculate and seeing Q do so much work during the set was amazing

[@charlotte_0_0_0]

this is awesome love seeing like an understanding of this game ive only seen ppl fawn over

[@Wonderpalm1979]

All these years later and I still am in love with how this game looks

[@takeshisakami]

Oh no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JMCROFTS WHAT WAS THAT?! I'm so hype for Diaphone but also so sad for JMCrofts. So disappointed in you my dude ;_;

[@wilmofosho]

I forgot to like the video, had to come back and like it. 2 of my favorite guys and also just a extremely well made video

[@owenmelton6023]

Awesome video i appreciate all the beautiful street fighter content mr. Diaphone

[@zane5952]

I love these type of videos diaphone keep it up man

[@Xengard]

ok this video is awesome, definitely one of the best on your youtube

[@Spectre_EX1081]

Finally understanding where the bald Sajam pic came from with JM. Gotta say I was confused AF when I saw that on Twitter

[@thatgwana]

This was a top tier video with the commentary and editing

all the studying for Yun/ Chun to 10-0 with Q is actually INSANE

[@syncr0904]

Your content recently has been 🔥

Amazing video, loved everything about it.

DiaGoat and GoatCrofts. Legendary video.

[@evilded2]

FIGHT FOR THE FUTURE!!

[@H1_R3Z]

The chat lighting up, trying to get Crofts to say "FOLKS" as soon as he spoke was hilarious.

[@Thisisaweirdthing2makeusdo]

Dude, congrats on 25th thats crazy 😮❤

[@Slidius]

I loved that u sweeped with Q by skill learnt from practicing and training with yun

Third Strike is similar to Marvel vs. Capcom; Choose the level of degeneracy you are comfortable with and try to have fun.

As always banger video from you. I miss strive videos tho :(

[@SUREILLBYTE]

Bro the editing is crazy

[@DaikonDev_]

greyfishgames you werent slick

[@Vanity0666]

Everyone loves Q until theyre playing Q I think the most understated aspect of 3rd Strike that people don't really appreciate is that just throwing random shit out in neutral builds meter even if you arent hitting the opponent, back in the day it was not uncommon to forgo an oki setup in place of doing a couple of light shoryukens to build up meter while the opponent is knocked down. The neutral is so strong in the game, and the corners feel like they're in just the right place on stages to make you feel like there's always a possibility for a turnaround.

[@twistedgambit9084]

Nice diary 😂😂😂😂

[@letsblocking]

Hey, I'm one of those people who have been playing 3s for 25 years. I'm pretty sure you could catch up pretty quickly if you wanted to, you're obviously a very quick learner. This was a fun video to watch.

[@RockBottom7626]

21:02 The JoJo themes kicked in, all of them.

[@ZenithPotentia]

Q being the underdog of the video was the biggest plot twist ever. You wrote him off so quick at the start only to end up winning 10-0 even though you spent the least amount of time with him 😂.

[@MT-or3kz]

Dia don't be a cutie challenge - impossible

[@dpwhale]

"You gotta get washed to get clean" - words to live by

[@rush99]

Either yun, makoto or dudley would be awesome to see return in sf6

[@ΚρανίΩ]

My beloved alex needs to come back too, imagine a ddt in sf6, would look so clean

[@kylecutler4145]

With yun do the target combo into activate with out the shoulder on hit. But on block do the shoulder but mix up strength and timing to stop easy parry’s. You want to do this as on hit the shoulder makes you lose a lot of damage Be ready to confirm on block if they mess up and don’t block or get hit trying to parry. Learn this concept and will improve your yun lots

[@corporateGH0ST]

i had no idea who you were before today, but i already like you more than jmcrofts.

[@Wolfgang_von_Caelid]

I would absolutely love to see a video along these lines, but with +R (maybe with LK?)

[@vstalbain]

Looool the 10-0 with Q was the biggest plot twist of all time. Let me know if anyone ever challenges you to Vampire Savior - I will happily lead you down the path that rocks.

[@dark_andromeda1495]

Him banning q is one of the funniest things ive ever seen

[@AresLodin]

Dude lost and was like "i have a proposal. You cant use the only character you put time in while i know other characters. And i get to set your profile" lmao

[@wheatleyede7628]

Bro JM said ban Q which was the character Dia spent the LEAST time with. JM was for sure coping but not as hard as this comment 😂

[@mus0u]

automattock taught me everything i know about Remy, i sure wouldn't feel bad losing a set to him haha

[@co81385]

What a great video! I don't play SF3, so, I found this informative and educational! When I did dabble with it a long time ago, I played Yun, and I felt like I learned some stuff about the characters from watching this. I do agree with you that everyone needs to have a "sweaty" character in their arsenal 😅 That is a good way to put it! Just curious, if I may ask, how *does* Yun anti-air in this game? When I had dabbled with this game, nothing seemed to be an apparent anti-air option. Or, is having a strong anti-air game not as important in this game as it is in other fighting games?

[@kevinm4193]

This is top tier content boi

[@Spleen2ween]

Why does Diaphone look like Plup’s older brother

[@itsybutsy]

stop. 15:20 that is a goated remix of jazzy NYC where is it what is it called I want it *_NOW_*

[@AstralTaurus]

Jm gave the controller to his big brother for that urien 3-0

[@jettisonantics]

This is crazy, because Urien is one of Q's worst matchups, and you weren't even using a lot of Q's good tech and combos besides kara throw and good SA1 confirms. Truly inexplicable.

[@skunkface_]

Yun training was worth it cause you still learned match flow and timing/conditioning
