Accepting Replay Review Requests

## Offer Replay Reviews to Help Players Improve Replay reviews are one of the most effective ways to help fighting game players identify and fix their weaknesses. As a coach on Spaghetti Showdown, you can accept replay review requests from students who want detailed feedback on their matches without scheduling a live session. ### Enabling Replay Reviews Go to your **Profile Settings** and open the **Coaching** section. You will find a dedicated toggle for **Accept Replay Reviews**. Enable this to let students submit replays for your review. Once active, a replay review option appears on your public coaching profile alongside your regular coaching availability. ### Setting Your Pricing You have full control over how you price replay reviews. Choose between: - **Free Reviews** — Great for building a reputation and attracting new students. Free reviews still earn you visibility and ratings on the platform. - **Paid Reviews** — Set a per-review price in euros. Paid reviews are processed through Stripe Connect, so make sure your payment account is set up before accepting paid requests. Consider offering both tiers — a basic free review with general feedback and a premium paid review with detailed annotations and a follow-up discussion. ### Writing Your Review Description Add a clear description of what your replay reviews include. Students want to know exactly what they are paying for. Describe your process: Do you provide written notes? Do you annotate the replay using the Spaghetti Lab tool? Do you record a video breakdown? Set expectations upfront so students understand the value. ### Managing Requests in Your Dashboard All incoming replay review requests appear in your **Coaching Dashboard**. Each request shows the student name, the game, and a link to the submitted replay file or video. From the dashboard you can: - **Accept** a request to begin working on it - **Decline** a request if you are too busy or it falls outside your expertise - **Mark as Complete** once you have delivered your feedback - **Send a Message** to the student for clarification or follow-up The dashboard also tracks your review history, average completion time, and student ratings. Keeping your turnaround time low and your ratings high will boost your visibility in the coach directory. ### Best Practices - **Set a realistic turnaround time** and communicate it to students - **Use the Web Annotation Tool** to add timestamps, drawings, and notes directly on the replay - **Focus on actionable feedback** — tell the student what to practice, not just what went wrong - **Follow up** after a few days to see if the student has questions about your notes Replay reviews are a flexible way to coach on your own schedule while making a real difference in someone's gameplay.
