RiftCoach

A training companion app that turns your Marvel Tokon (or any tag-fighter) replays into a personal lesson plan, flagging unsafe moves, recommending punishers for your main, and drilling the matchups you keep losing.

Target user

Fighting game players grinding the Marvel Tokon beta and ranked ladder

Features
  • Replay-to-coach analyzer that uploads match footage and surfaces the three biggest punishable habits
  • Matchup lab with character-specific punishers, frame traps, and oki setups refreshed as new DLC like Phoenix Cyclops lands
  • Daily drill queue that adapts to your weakest category (anti-airs, okizeme, neutral skips) and tracks improvement across sessions
  • Cross-title profile so the same coaching carries over to Guilty Gear Strive or Street Fighter 6 when players rotate games
Why now

Marvel Tokon's open beta, Year 1 DLC roadmap, and Insomniac crossover costumes are pulling lapsed fighting-game fans back in, and most newcomers have no local scene to teach them the basics.

Monetization
5/10

Esports coaching platform market is $382M growing 18.7% CAGR; FGC players do pay for frame-data apps and coaching, but most tools (FighterCenter, Spaghetti Lab) currently offer free tiers, suggesting willingness-to-pay is modest.eSports Coaching Platform Market Research Report 2033Fighting Game Coach | Match Analysis for FGC Players | Brackify Runback Coach

Longevity
5/10

Marvel Tokon has an Arc System Works + Sony publishing backing with Year 1 DLC roadmap, but tag-fighters have a poor genre survival rate (DBFZ, MVCI faded); game launches in 1 month, so viability is still speculative.Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls Open Beta - Start & end times, roster

Feasibility
4/10

No public evidence of a Marvel Tokon replay file format or frame-data API; competitors target established titles (Tekken 8, SF6) with known formats, so building coaching logic for an unreleased, still-balanced beta title is high-risk.MetaPunish — AI Fighting Game Intelligence
