That was a really nice animation for revealing the rank, props to the editor!

Thank you Diaphone for proving top players have no idea how the playerbase plays. We all learned today.

So cool to see sajam collab with sajam. Truly the crossover ever

This needs to be a recurring series. You guys have solid chemistry too. Keep it up Diaphone 👍

I cried when I saw that Zangief vs Ryu match Also weird editing mistake at 19:56

OMG i was thinking about this tweet last night and how unhinged it was. glad to learn about its origins lmao

that last one had me howling, that Marisa felt like a smurf once i saw the ranks.

Why does Diaphone always decides to eat when he's ready to record lmao

I love how JM's logic is "If they're high level they pick Chun Li" like you don't have to grind through the ranks because of your character choice xD

I knew the Cammy was Master cos some of those hit confirms/conversions were clean but the Guile being 1800 MR really caught me off guard ngl. And yea, Hondas play the same from Rookie to Master lol.

The chemistry between you guys was off the charts! This was a banger episode, editing and all.

This was a great video! 2 personalities I enjoy do challenges together.

Please more of this! Only suggestion I would have is to make each person make a specific guess, whoever is closest wins, not just saying higher/lower.

Guess the rank is really good content, would love to see more of this. Pssst, editor: slip in either a jmcroft/diaphone game or a ridiculously high level tournament match in there at some point down the line

This was ludicrously entertaining, I’d love for you guys to do this again in the future! Love y’all’s chemistry too.

This is honestly a really fun concept. I'd love to see more of this. It's got Will It Kill? vibes to it, this would be fun to see more of with different guests.

The thing about that Marisa at the end is that not everyone plays ranked. There is a good chance that Marisa was just someone who plays with their buddies or something and just started climbing the ranks, but that first rank they fly by doesn’t really fit their skill level. That was me with Mika in SFV. I ranked up really fast, but was bronze at some point

Probably my favorite video of all time, REALLY hoping to see more of this!

this was such a fun video, please do more of this!

I love these guess the rank videos please do more

One of the best vids I've seen! Do more of this.

The content we need. Loved this!

This was super fun. I watch both of u guys but i hope i get to see more of u two together

Great video, this shows the potential for more types of interesting FGC content that's possible

Hilarious video, I'd watch like 20 more of these lmao

Ryu vs Gief was like a choreographed martial arts dance 😂

The two most likeable FGC content creators out there. More of this.

this is great content. would love to see this be a series.

This is a fantastic format for a video guys.

This is an FGC collab that warms my cold and shriveled heart. Always enjoy you and JMCrofts!

Was just thinking of this video idea when i was watching guess the elo from gothamchess few days ago, yall delivered with this video. There should be more of this

About the playing better at the start of the game, as Mike Tyson would say: "Everybody has a plan untill they get punched in the mouth."

This was a great vid bro you gotta do this again in the future!!!

I loved the video! If you ever consider making this a recurring series, you guys may want to take some inspiration from Harstem's Rank Roulette (Starcraft 2). I personally really like their system of simultaneous submission (they send it to Harstem's editor before confirming IIRC) and the way that they count the points. The gist is that the goal is to have the least amount of points, and the worse your guess is, more points you get. That way you both reward really good guesses, as well as the game not being easily decided by the last round.

This was a great video, I love watching both of you guys. Would love to see more collabs from you guys!! The tweet killed me as soon as I heard him say it 😂😂😂😂

14:06 that entire series of events is so hilarious.

This video kept me smiling and laughing the entire time. Loved it!

Every single player on earth has gotten to play at the very start of the match. Past that, it's you either get thrown to death or mash out against a mistimed anything with a 4-frame. If you have a plan past the first 13 seconds of the match, you're basically a god at this game.

Amazing collab with the man of the people! Great show and fire tweet!

Such a good video concept

Please do more of these!

I bet that Cammy Guile masters game was a game 2 and Guile flashkicked as a read based on her previous roundstarts.

Loved the idea! You guys could do like Harstem does for SC2, both people bet at the same time and get points for every rank away from the answer. Winner is the one with the least points in the end!

I love this format!! More more!

That Honda matchup lmao “could be anything from bronze to master👀” XD

nice video! editing error, the result for chun vs rashid later shown up in the middle of the video around the 19:55 mark. Otherwise, a nice watch. Have a good day!

I think this experience could be better if the clip also game with the number of games that the player had, so you can compare gameplay to number of games played to help decide. Because like, the honda players could vary wildly in their rank based on numbers of games played.

this was a super fun vid, would love if you compare the region ranks against each other :)

Really enjoyed the video, very fun format....... The amount of ads are wild though.

I need more of this in my life.

This was hilarious. Was wondering why no one tried guess the rank content for sf6 yet.

Good stuff boys, keep it comin

This was so much fun to watch

This was really interesting!

Cool concept, loved to watch different level of playing. But we can see you cheating at 19:55 for a free point later xD

I love the punishment tweet. Need more of these tbh.

" I don't think scrubs pick Blanka " Crofts, as a Platinum player, I would like to HEAVILY contest that statement, Blanka's have been some of the consistently easiest dubs I've gotten

Very funny and creative content. I really enjoyed watching it! If you do this again, how about doing it for "Modern Controls"? So we can make things a little more difficult for you.

@ 19:56 @Castehappy has some rogue clips left in his timeline! spoilers for the Chun/Rashid match ahead ! love this video, two great tastes that go great together

Wow the editing was really slick!

Great vid, very entertaining. You should collab more with JMCrofts 💯

Jmcrofts a man of the people! Loved that 😁

sick vid, love the collab

Great vid!

really solid vid guys, love the idea, fun watch!

Great Video 🥃 Make this a monthly series

For how much effort went into the reveal animation, and that it shows both players ranks, maybe in future episodes, Diaphone should guess player 1's rank and the guest should guess player 2's rank. Point for correct, half point to closest guess if both are wrong

i love this style of video no matter what the game is

I'm in Silver myself, but recently I saw a post on the guilty gear subreddit about the Japanese servers being harder (which I'm playing on). I did notice I guessed low on most of these.

This looks so fun I wanna submit my replays

You can derank to rookie 1 and hit plat 1 in less then 3 hours if your good. Diaphone is disconnected from us non-masters. 😢

This actually helps to improve

Great Episode!

Kinda cool to see how accurate the guesses were

its simple crofts + diaphone = goated content

I remember playing in a rookie tournament, and getting beat by classic zangief. He not only did 360s pretty fast, but also two 720s. Yeah, I got no idea how ranks work in this game after that.

RECURRING SERIES. THIS NEEDS TO BE DONE

33:09 my guess would've been Wood 3 ngl, but I remember a Marisa on reddit posting a clip asking how to beat Ken and the clip had her do a 60% combo then loosing 6 times in neutral and they were bronze 3 so imma bet this is the exact same Marisa as that reddit post 2-3 months ago

That's some high quality entertainment...

This video is so much fun.

I think a better way to play the game would be u both choose a rank and count how far u are away from the actual rank. Smaller distance gets the point is both guesses are equal distances away then no points or one point each. And to make it a bit harder I think still take turns in who guesses first just both people can’t guess same rank

That Marisa had to have been smurfing or something, no way that's bronze.

I was playing Cammy for the first time ever yesterday. Going through my new Challenger matches. -- Started fighting Bronze player, fair enough, he had some good stuff but was a bit predictable with the jump ins and didn't know any combos. -- Then another Bronze player, modern Ryu, who immediately started mashing EX-Hadouken button and didn't know what any other button did. Okaaay then.. -- Then a Silver, ok this is where the majority of my characters go, should be even match.. dude only spammed DI at every opportunity. -- Then a Gold, oh this is where my mains go I don't know if a new character I've never played before should be here. Opponent was good and I barely squeaked by positive in the Bo3. -- Then suddenly jumped up to Diamond out of nowhere, oh shit this is a higher ranked player than I've ever faced before! I'm going to get dumpstered by 50%hp combos and knowledge checks I've never seem before! ..... Dude spammed DI at every opportunity then one-and-done'd me when I got a perfect in the second round. I can no longer guess the rank of any player with any degree of accuracy.

That double Honda match has me totally stumped. I forgot how much of a noob slayer spamming butt slam is.

Editor's got good materials but needs to QC the final product before upload 19:55

that Honda mirror was triggering holy 😂

14:04 is one of the best clips I've ever seen in SF6 since release. lmao

The video was pretty cool but the guessing part of it was kinda weird. It would've been better if instead of one person guessing the rank and then the second one going with higher or lower, you both take a guess at the rank, and then u get more or less points depending on how close you were to the correct rank. Something like 3 points for hitting the rank and division, 2 points for guessing the rank but not the division (like you guessed diamond 3 but it was actually diamond 5) and then if neither guesses the rank then whoever's closer. I feel like that would've made it more entertaining and overall harder to win!

Ain't no way that Marisa was Bronze! Great collab guys and the editor is killing it with the visuals!

That ryu vs gief match - I was watching, thinking 'no way that's actually mine?!' Because I had the exact same DI nultiple times in the corner with jump out exchange; fullscreen run punish... And of course I use the same 2nd skin color You know how I understood it wasn't me? I don't use Drive Rush. Haha

Ha, I'm almost positive I am the Ken that lost to the Ryu. Great match, and great video.

11:20 thats kens optimal midscreen damage off a jump in.

The Gief match was hilarious LMAO

IMO, in the future, you should just have both of you decide on paper or something, and just read that out when it's time to reveal your guess. It's tough to not be able to guess the same rank since, like you mentioned for masters, sometimes it's obvious.

Do more this is hilarious

three in so far and Ive made the exact same guesses as jm wish that translated to being good though haha

Lol I kinda knew JM had the advantage here just because he still plays through a lot of these ranks when he tries new people but was closer than I thought gj yall.

for the next time, maybe whoever's ahead should guess first to keep it closer til the end

I was pretty darn accurate with the golds and silvers lol. Last match was probably a Marisa smurf (or someone who doesn’t play ranked much) going against an actual bronze Juri

jmcrofts is crazy good at this hahaha I would lose in a landslide as well
