Just started a new YT channel for clips / videos that didn't make the main channel. The full matches from my EVO run will be uploaded there shortly so please subscribe / check it out! kzfaq.info/love/p0dVho_Z6OC-3z7rNGkgLA Also yes - I'll still be playing Kim unless there is some broken DLC character that comes out.

The one time I wanna develop a ego and pop off is the one time I die, I will forever hold that L in Granblue Rising lol. Honestly though just so nobody gets it confused me and Diaphone knows each other for a good while and it was all in good fun. Congrats on your runs in SF6 and GBVSR.

Congratulations my man. You have been an inspiration as a Kimberly player, I loved her since day 1 but I was thinking into dropping her for Ken or Cammy, but then I found your channel and I became instantly hooked to her. I'm ready to make a push to Master rank all thanks to you. Amazing performance for one of the best Kimberlies in the entire planet.

It’s tough to say just based on one tournament placement, but I certainly got an argument for it. If I had to choose someone besides myself, it would be jaccy from Japan, they are also #1 on the CFN leaderboards right now too. We both have things we do better than the other, I learn a lot from them 🙏

I was waiting for this vid. Congratz man, you played really well! Sure to be prepared for playing well in tournament it's important, but being nervous really sucks. I think people who gets used to offline tournaments and not being nervous, can even beat someone better than him and go really far. I hope that will be your case in near future :3

Hey Diaphone! As a kim player AND very green to taking fighter games seriously (casually and i mean very casually played some games growing up) seeing you place pretty damn well with Kim is awesome. Used alot of your videos when I picked up sf6! Was able to catch a few of your matches at Evo. Excited to see your kim evolve in future tourneys 🤟🤟🤟 Mad respect!

@RockBottom7626 10 ай бұрын

Sick matches. Bonchan was that barrier which you were honestly relatively close to beating. He just grinded SF6 so much and his Luke is from a mechanical standpoint the best in the business (yes, I would say even better than Menard, there is a reason Menard switched to Blanka against moke). But it is never an excuse for not winning, and I still want to see you take EVO with Kimberly next time :D

Holy crap dude I saw one of your videos AGES ago when I was starting to get into Guilty Gear and watched one of your guides. I hope you don’t take offense to this but I just assumed you were one of those content creators who was good enough at the fighting game they played where they could make educational content on it, however once they ran into a pro player they get absolutely washed. Yet here you are practically a pro yourself playing on the biggest stage! You have my respect. I also totally thought you were just a guilty gear specialist LMAO I’m sorry. Awesome job bro
