Rokunaya:
I know that you like highly technical, cautious matches that demonstrate great character and matchup knowledge. However, you should be aware that there are multiple playstyles that are effective at both top and lower levels of play. The cautious, technical approach is only one of these, and only works alone when one player is clearly dominant to the other in terms of matchup or skill. Few American players will reach a level where they can rely on this type of play, and it requires the longest learning time.
Granted, its better that new players begin by playing conservatively/defensively and trying to learn these skills (in regards to both learning the game and probability of victory). However, I think you should also try doing an explanation of a match including a direct, yomi intensive player who is confrontational and forces guessing situations. It's another playstyle and a skillset that is equally important to development as a fighting gamer. Try explaining how such a playstyle affects the match and works. I'd suggest a match with Luckystar, Kaimaato, or such players (i don't know jp players). America wise, that'd be jiyuna, usually zaelar, sometimes me, and sometimes zar. Also, it'd be a good idea to point out the yomi element in spacing that isn't that obvious to most people. I only saw your first video to be honest, but it's my opinion from this that you explain things in too much of a "someone did this, so this is the counter" fashion. From my perspective, the impressive point is "he knew the other guy'd do that, so he did the counter". Knowing matchup and optimal options is in my opinion only a value modifier for the yomi situation that eventually decides the game.
