@@quimartolas12 Thats basically me lol, tournaments are great but I sometimes just want a normal high level ranked match if I want to quickly see how a character can be played.

I reckon replay channels are more reflective of how inconvenient a game's replay archive is, as opposed to a content theft issue. Searching a replay on YT is much easier than trying to navigate other's replays on ggst. Especially compared to SF6's replay archive. Also nice to have a library of footage somewhere other than a game's servers.
I've been combing through like dozens of replays daily recently and actually finding a replay is so incredibly annoying even if I know that it exists, when and where it was played and what characters were involved
Studying FAB and snake_eyez's gameplay form these "replay vultures" is what helped me get to celestial with potemkin. I literally wouldn't be as good at the game as I am now without them.
I like the high level channel cause they got FAB on there like every other vid, and i love it. Its so useful and ive improved a hell of a lot studying what he does. Though, as an avid Dinosaur enjoyer using "Vulture" to denote someone bad and useless in the community is unappreciated, smh (Not being seriously upset, lol)
Its indeed grey area and vague. Its like react channels like Penguinz0 and AsmongoldTV. Or lets plays because even though the content creator have voice overs, its still unedited footage of someone's works. I mean who owns these footage anyway? The ones that created the video essays or the ones that reacted to it and edited it to make it their own?

yeah definitely falls into that bubble especially since there isnt even a reaction and very little editing of the content but like you said who even owns the gameplay?
@@Raynfgc Have you watched reaction channels? I exampled Penguinz0 and AsmogoldTV because those I know thats have fair content on their reactions. Almost all reaction channels like Tyrone Magnus and Rogerbase are just literally reacting without editing and commentary.

Because like video game streamers, react channels, lets plays and top lists videos replay channels never go away. Theyre permanent part of internet and social media culture
For GGST high level gameplay, I don't care if what they're doing isnt necessarily right, since the channel is a great help for me, as someone who's stuck going between floor 5-8. It helps me see how top play is, study how certain characters should be played around, different combos for my characters, neutral play, etc. It's probably a bigger help for me then others since I have literally nothing else to help me learn Strive except for RUclips, but still, it's very helpful to me
yeah 100% its always good to be able to see how top players use your character as sometimes they have combos and playstyles you wont find in a guide video
To see my own channel featured by a RUclipsr I actually watched every now and then way before I started my channel is nuts! Thank you! And keep up the amazing content!
Like long ass comment on that video explains, it can very easily have opposide effect. If you are a beginner, don't sweat about missed opportunities every nanosecond. Learn fundamentals, understand the character's game plan, clean your inputs and have run. "Optimal play" is made up term for the people who want to control the game without actually winning any tournaments
There's definitely benefits to having easily accessible replays for top players. I know I like watching them to learn new things for my characters. Having played other games where all you have for resources are whole tournament vods, where your only option is to skim through hoping to find a good player of a specific character (or god forbid a specific matchup), I see why these channels would be popular. There are some questions to the morality of monetizing others' raw replays, though I think channels like Fraud's are quite welcome (assuming the analysis is actually good), as they add another layer to the raw replay that is transformative.
I feel is there really a harm in uploading footage of matches that are probably never being uploaded regardless? If their names are being shown I don’t see much an issue
Fraud level gameplay gotta be my favorite “replay vulture” ngl. In my opinion I think these replay vultures are MOSTLY fine, it gives lower skill players a way to analyze and learn from high level players really easily, but some of the people in the videos don’t consent to having their replays reposted, which I feel like they should take more consideration into that. I think that at the bare minimum GGST high level gameplay should ask before posting the replays if it’s okay to use their replays instead of just posting em.
@@espernova228 that is true but most people use the replay feature to look at their own replays, not each other’s. I’ve rarely have used the look at other’s replays so correct me if I’m wrong, but it’s hard to know if the people you’re watching in celestial are actually high level players or someone who just got out of floor 10 due to the way strive’s ranking system works, which is why replay vultures exist in the first place. And strive usually recommends replays of players around your skill level instead of above it. Basically most replays of high level players aren’t taken to a larger audience to be analyzed, and most players are ok with that; which is why I think that the replay vulture channels should at least ask both players if they want to be featured in replays.
Actually funny thing about Fraud Gameplay, they're moreso proving a point by posting these replays. Showing that Tower's rating system is so skewed it's causing people to literally cheese the system for no other reason than clout. It also helps that Fraud gameplay knows what they're talking about when talking combos and such, makes me think they're a probable top player themselves who made the channel
like it or not there is nothing wrong about doing it. It's an old topic and some FGC icons have complained. The thing is no player owns any rights to game play footage at all. The replays are public and in fact are owned by the companies respectively. (ASW Capcom, Bandai etc) Some ppl dont like it but by the ToS they have nothing to claim. As long as no one is straight up coping a video they edited and created (excluding replays they upload non edited) there is no wrong doing.
I've watched High Level on and off for a few months. Their vulture content opens my eyes to new ideas for matchups. Low Level popped up for me a while later and I don't hate it. Rather than hound on the players, I like seeing how the players adapt to each other. I got Fraud in my recommends a few days ago and find them entertaining. Their brief info dumps are great for players like me to polish our own gameplay.
I get why it’s bad, it’s basically on the same level as reaction content, but the high level gameplay channel got me throughout senior year of highschool
I like ggst high level gameplay cuz I just sit down and watch some games of my favourite characters while I eat, it’s just nice to see the big names (for me players like Uwabami and RedIAmNot) since they don’t upload often and following their tournaments they show up in can be a doozy.
... What was the point of this video? You start talking about 'replay vultures' as though they're a bad thing, and then don't take either side on it. You define 'replay vultures' as people that take raw gameplay and upload them without editing, and then talk at length about GGST Fraud Gameplay, who is clearly providing in depth commentary (which is no longer unedited). If someone is upset with someone uploading their sets, why not do it themselves? If I want to watch some new high level matchups on my break, am I expected to take my PC to work and boot up Strive? I don't see any issues with having accessible gameplay videos. If anyone can already find and watch these through the games, there's no difference from making it more accessible.
I feel the argument of people not wanting THEIR gameplay to be featured is...a bit silly. The main instance I could find for this is if you're a content creator and want to use that game in your content or you stream and that game was in your stream. That would be a reason that exists outside of the game itself. But if you're playing offline, you're not entitled to your gameplay. You don't own the game in any capacity, especially when replays are already public. The only difference is the accessibility of it and theres someone making money off of it, which I feel is redundant because previously no one was making money off of it. So, I don't see the harm, make your bag. (again unless its the content creation perspective). There are also a couple of reasons I'd prefer them over a particular content creator (i.e. larger pool of material to study, larger variety in said pool, no commentary, etc.). Obviously actual content creators and high level players provide perspective but I think both types of channels provide value even if some takes more effort than the other I feel it's a non-issue. They're at best a good way to find character-specific MUs and optimal gameplay for newer players and sometimes just sick clips from up and coming players who're willing to take down replays if someone asks in most instances. And at worst they're taking advantage of a poor system to make easy money. Even then, I think the pros outweigh the cons (This mainly applies to GGST: High Level Gameplay, I don't really watch anyone else so take it with a grain of salt)
People are so sensitive XDD. Replays are literally given for free in game. This guy just posts them on youtube for people's commodity. Nothing illegal here and nobody is hurt. If you feel he makes his money too easy maybe you are just a little jealous. Remember... You can do it too!! Or maybe find an even easier way to make money
Gatekeeping advanced tech from being in yt videos is the most toxic fgc type shit I could even think of and also the reason why we have games at 150 players daily and newbies leave our games in a week after getting quadruple perfect. All of these replays are accesible by anyone owning the game but we aint gonna be launching GG Strive every fucking time we want to see what are the new combo routes of our characters are. These channels are necessary.
People gloss over the fact that what we call "vultures" are simply performing a curation service that makes it so I don't have to search for replays myself. I think they are more helpful to the community than anyone would care to admit, but high level players prolly hate them because they do not benefit from the service. There is also probably more than a little resentment over the idea that other people are monetising "their content" (that they refuse to monetise themselves).
On a level of technicalities - this is NOT "someone else's" gameplay. The person starts their own copy of guilty gear and records their own guilty gear screen. That just so happens to have people other than the recorder playing If you want to go down that road - the players who post their games rarely if ever share revenue with people they played with, so thats 50% of "vulture' aspect And then there's you vulturing with literally no gameplay of your own, just providing commentary So you would be wise to think twice before going down that rabbit hole
It is literally someone else's gameplay. This is like saying it's your gameplay when a friend is on the controller just because it's your copy. Not someone else's recording or video though obviously.
These channels are very helpful. With how long it takes to access anything online in strive, and how tedious the search feature is to use they make it really easy to find decent quality gameplay for any character in the game. I remember after the Undernight 2 beta came out and the only gameplay footage I could find of the character I mained was some guy going 0-2 against Sajam. Plus having them on RUclips allows you to have the game on one screen, and the video on the other meaning you don’t need to constantly exit training mode to check what happened in the replay. You also no longer need to worry about day one character guides coming up over any current patch gameplay.
For context as to how hard it is to find gameplay for some characters compare how hard it is to find recent gameplay for a character like Shiki Tohno from Melty Blood Type Lumina compared to any character in guilty gear strive.
This makes me question why more high level players don’t stream or upload their content themselves there is an active fanbase for it and it would help when they’re not doing tournaments especially when a good majority have their replays set to public not only would it help get the game out there more if it does well they have an extra source of income if it goes well
i agree with this but they also cop a lot of backlash a lot of ppl are super judgy like *awh u could of 2k'd there and won* i think a few top players are starting yt stuff recently
The main replay channel for GGST absolutely REFUSES to credit any players channels at all. Never put their twitter, twitch, RUclips, nothing. I think it's kinda disrespectful when they try to lie to us saying "it's too hard" when other replay channels do it all the time. If you just gomna take other's people's game0lay for your profit the least you can do is credit the players to the best of your ability
Idk if anyone remembers but like a year and a half ago there was a a replay vulture that deadass had porn playing in the background and they blamed it on something else
I’m honestly surprised that you didn’t mention some of the comments on the high level gameplay channel. It’s an entire different world from the actual video! XD
I mean highlevel replay channel at least puts some effort editing. Like he transitions matches smoothly in addition to changing background music. Then some others have really choppy transitions between matches
I think there's nothing bad with high level ggst (I don't remember atm if they monetize their videos, which would be kinda meh but whatever), it helps lots of players have easy access to high level plays, instead of booting up strive and search for a specific player you want to see replays of. I don't like any of the others tho, especially the fraud one.
Replay vultures are the most fitting name for these people. They're the unsung heroes that greatly benefit the environment/community. It's helped me so much learning new characters, couldn't imagine how worse I'd be without them.
Double edge sword I guess. They can serve as ads for players but can be annoying reusing content without permission. At the least they should be asking for permission or setup a form for people to willingly submit their clips.
Honestly the exisitence of high level replays represents their is a clear demand for them. FGC devlopers should allow us to be able to search for replays for a character vs another character at a certain rank / top 1000 and find replays that are say a week old or less. Then you can use native traning mode systems like Frame data, the SF6 frame bar thing or directly taking over the replay and playing the senario itself to provide a better service than a replay vulture can provide.
i really dont see the vultures as bad unless you were planning to make content off of that match or matches other than that these channels help alot in whats new, what you could be doing wrong or bnb for a character your just picking up or trying to put down.
Personally i love GGST top tier gameplay cause sometimes i dont really have the time to play so i can basically learn the theory by watching it Also the community in the coment section is amazing
I like watching other people’s replays, it helps you improve at the game. Like maybe you don’t know how to deal with slayer so you watch high level games of people beating slayer and learn from that. Replays alone got me to celestial 😂
in a way its open to most intermediate players, I meant moreso you can just cheat your way into celestial if you want, not you're bad if your not in it xD
The only issue I have is that as a new player when I'm trying to find resources on yt about a certain character or something, the results are so bloated with these matches it can be genuinely hard to find commentary/discussion videos. Majority of the time when I'm searching for GG content, I'm not looking for these videos. But 99% of the time they are listed before what I'm actually searching for. Idk it's not a huge deal it's just annoying really.
for me personally I really like these channels existing cause I can type in my main in the channel search and I can see what top players do, it's a really helpful resource that's way easier to obtain than searching through hours of tournament footage, and I can spend more time learning rather than looking
I have like a whole playlist of ggst gameplay, mostly by this channel I think. I learned some coversions I did not know about through it. Never thought there could be a negative side to it...
maybe I make my own replay channel? xDD join discord dummy! discord.com/invite/raynfgc
Feel like people who hate replay vultures are just jealous that they arent making the easiest ad revenue of their lives just reposting replays.
probably a large part of it xD

I think there's nothing bad with high level ggst (I don't remember atm if they monetize their videos, which would be kinda meh but whatever), it helps lots of players have easy access to high level plays, instead of booting up strive and search for a specific player you want to see replays of. I don't like any of the others tho, especially the fraud one.
Replay vultures are the most fitting name for these people. They're the unsung heroes that greatly benefit the environment/community. It's helped me so much learning new characters, couldn't imagine how worse I'd be without them.
Bro. I don't even play GGS because I don't got the money. I play the Guilty Gear of PSVita and this makes me mad af lmao.
Double edge sword I guess. They can serve as ads for players but can be annoying reusing content without permission.
At the least they should be asking for permission or setup a form for people to willingly submit their clips.
High Level gameplay is goated because it blessed the world with Konakonizumi
Honestly the exisitence of high level replays represents their is a clear demand for them.
FGC devlopers should allow us to be able to search for replays for a character vs another character at a certain rank / top 1000 and find replays that are say a week old or less.
Then you can use native traning mode systems like Frame data, the SF6 frame bar thing or directly taking over the replay and playing the senario itself to provide a better service than a replay vulture can provide.
2:36 oh shit I've won against this guy once
i really dont see the vultures as bad unless you were planning to make content off of that match or matches other than that these channels help alot in whats new, what you could be doing wrong or bnb for a character your just picking up or trying to put down.
I just watch the low level gameplays cause I know that one day someone will come across my garbage Happy Chaos replays
Personally i love GGST top tier gameplay cause sometimes i dont really have the time to play so i can basically learn the theory by watching it
Also the community in the coment section is amazing
GGST FAN is prob the best replay vulture out there
his videos are so entertaining dude
Fraud replay is a G, theyre super open to feedback and explain the purpose of their channel to anyone with distaste to it
I actually like watching the pros on there that play my fav characters so I can see how they play neutral and stuff and take notes
Second?
You're here too...
@@nabik.l.8865 hello!
I like watching other people’s replays, it helps you improve at the game. Like maybe you don’t know how to deal with slayer so you watch high level games of people beating slayer and learn from that. Replays alone got me to celestial 😂

Don't care as long as i get to watch umisho playing Sol
Ah yes, the infamous channel with the May pic.
Damn that hey listen in the intro brought memories man I miss monto

Buff millia. Justice for konerkon

in a way its open to most intermediate players, I meant moreso you can just cheat your way into celestial if you want, not you're bad if your not in it xD

The only issue I have is that as a new player when I'm trying to find resources on yt about a certain character or something, the results are so bloated with these matches it can be genuinely hard to find commentary/discussion videos.
Majority of the time when I'm searching for GG content, I'm not looking for these videos. But 99% of the time they are listed before what I'm actually searching for. Idk it's not a huge deal it's just annoying really.
for me personally I really like these channels existing cause I can type in my main in the channel search and I can see what top players do, it's a really helpful resource that's way easier to obtain than searching through hours of tournament footage, and I can spend more time learning rather than looking
I have like a whole playlist of ggst gameplay, mostly by this channel I think. I learned some coversions I did not know about through it. Never thought there could be a negative side to it...
Hell yea
