Did you listen to the japanese commentary? They were talking about your dhalsim.
Yeah it was around 1:53:30 to 2:02:00 on

Rough translations of that interesting tidbit below.
(Commentator) A listener asks you if you learned something from Sabin vs Daigo MM
(YHC-Mochi) Well, hmm.. in short conclusion Sabin is much better than me. You know he is really good at "dealing" (to opponent's attacks), his reaction speed is far superior than me.
Yeah he's really good, but... what can I say, I'm not saying that I'm better at other areas or he's worse than me overall. But he had lost to Daigo.
This is really hard to explain.. but the point might be how-what-when make which moves or such. As you could see in this match I made a lots of mistakes like anti-air or drills, yeah I admit that I did bad moves so many times. But I think I managed to do some moves with "meanings" in some key points successfully.
Hmm we(me and Sabin) are different types so it's not simple "Who is better".
My thought is.. this game is "How to reduce opponent's health" game, not "How to manage opponent's move in several scenes" game. so this is the one.
If I add more I always make attempt to execute my moves not relying on reflex speed. So, this might be my point if I can say.
(C) My thought is, when I watched you two's match for a comparison, I thought Sabin is really good in some scenes in some sets in some games, delivers best answers.
If you compare these key moves/scenes as a dots and these dots will make a line in final match, you'll win. Sabin made many of good dots but his dots didn't make a line at the end of whole match.
These dots and lines thingy is what Daigo always says and Mochi wants to practice to do.
(M) We're not talking that Sabin is bad, he really is excellent and his "dealing" ability is top-class, no matter in Japan or in USA. I was really impressed by that MM movie.
But since I know I can't do the same dealing like him, so I can't win the game by similar "tactics", so I have to put my effort on making my own "strategy". When I was in Mago match, I was trying to see the whole match from a bigger perspective, so as this time.
I believe there are something that you'll notice while keep using Dhalsim only.
For example, when you failed anti-air, and you have to guard their attack, which normally other Sims can deal with it, this in other view, you successfully made your opponents have "This jump attack works to this Sim" mind.
If I could successfully make him think that and I remember, I can handle really important scenes like when the opponent believes his making come back and pick his jump attacks to win.
Sometimes it's intentionally, sometimes not, but I always keep these kind of things in my mind.
(C) When you re-watched this match, Daigo changed his style after Mochi had large advantage in first five games,
It took Mochi two games to address the issues properly, the great thing was Daigo kept trying to make these games not let Mochi adjust it instantly.
That was really interesting, this shows he sure knows how to manage whole "match", I'm really enjoying this ftw 10 match rules to watch these mind games as well.
