The idea that Nintendo is trying to free up resources so they're not being used to support hardware that hasn't been Nintendo's focus for years doesn't even occur in his head.

And DSP has a Business degree, everyone. I don't and yet even I can recognize why this is happening.
By this logic Apple should be still supporting the Apple 3 which predates the iMac or MacBook. (Life according to DSP)
 
I forgot how salty Phil gets playing fighting games. This is honestly Phil at his most entertaining. Fuck "chill" streams, this is the kind of stuff Phil should focus on because this is that true khwality khantent. Dude mashes everything and the second his opponent hits him, "THEY'RE MASHING!". It's just a non-stop stream of excuses, it's nuts.
Yeah, fighting games reveal child-Phil. From punching his momma's tit as he ferociously sucks milk, to raging as she refuses to buy him a Wolverine toy: he wants everything EASY and NOW. This selfishness is the eternal child within, and is the core of Phil's mentality.

And it's wonderful to watch.
 
I would have joked about him trying to larp as that typical bloke that fixes something in porn and Katherine can't find her wallet but his larp backfired because she was too daft to pick up on it. Now it's just sad because, you know, reality.
Fuck you sooo much for imprinting this image in my mind.
Yeah I would guess the whales are already giving the max per month they are going to give regardless of payment methods. When the gifted subs went away they just increased the amount they were tipping since they didn't have to pay for gifted memberships anymore.

This is what phil doesn't seem to understand with wanting gifted subs and super thanks so bad, the money he gets from those is still going to come from the same small pool of whales. The people who want to give phil money are already giving him as much as they can. Its not like there's some guy sitting around with money he wants to give phil but is waiting for gifted memberships specifically before giving any money.
I very much believe that DSP might have hit the max, or is close to hitting it, of what he can milk from his current whales. Getting new ways to give him support will not get him more money.
EDIT - I saw this in my twitter feed and...Phil, is this your endgame? Are you trying to get to Breen wiseau, savage levels of delusional?

View attachment 2990503

almost there, but they're not cunt waffles so....
Yeah I do think he is this delusional, I really do think he has pignosised himself.

As an aside I was looking at the Battlefield Twitter to have a laugh at DICE and found this:
FLQVk8pXwAgQmPq.jpg

This is pretty dead on of how Phil will look in a few short years.
 
Also has Phil ever played a female character in any fighting game? He really seems to gravitate towards big, burly men (while complaining that his moves never come out...while often playing the slowest characters in the game).
I think the "Phil is married" jokes are actually fairly spot on for why this happens. There's plenty of examples of Phil projecting himself into any game he plays. His aversion to dating, creating himself whenever there's a customizer etc. Phil gravitates towards burly/muscular characters because of his "bodybuilder" delusions. In the same vein, I think he avoids female characters because he's worried people will think he's implying he's girly.

That old man’s face is weathered and rugged. His eyes and gaze hint at the shit he’s seen and been made to shovel through his life. His facial hair is well-trimmed, suggesting a self-care routine that he may have been keeping for decades, indicative of a certain pride in his appearance. The deep wrinkles between his mouth and cheeks show that while this man wears a distant, possibly sorrowful, possibly even grim expression, he has had cause to smile and laugh a great deal over the years.

This man has lived. Phil will never look like this.
 
I think the biggest clue that DSP is a fake gamer for me is that he uses the fighting stick thing.
I don't know what this has to do with anything. For old fighting games it makes sense to play with the original controller. Might be easier to pull of khambos because the stick is 8 discrete switches instead of an analog stick, so you know for certain which direction your inputs are. The springs are beefier on the good arcade buttons too (original button assemblies were rated for something like 1 million+ presses) so it's easier to mash buttons because they're not soft and they spring back quicker.

Plus it's fun. Playing arcade games with the original controls hits different.
 
Oddly the game would of been perfect for him with stalling content as there is always something to do especially if you only log on every few days. I think the sheer amount of females was the killer for him.

Btw why is he playing KOF twice in a row, is he testing if the night streams will kill this?
What's funny is that there is a shitton of books in the game, too. Phil easily could have made a thing about going through and trying to find and read all of them like he's doing with Skyrim - they're all actually somewhat lore relevant too, not that I think Phil has the mental capacity to appreciate the complexity of the story. And there's also fully customizable player housing you can unlock once you get sufficiently far into the Liyue chapter (and it's REQUIRED to get the housing, not that any part of the unlock quest itself is actually remotely hard as it doesn't even involve any combat, just a lot of dialogue).

Genshin has everything Phil could possibly want for a chill stream game, but he's not willing to put the time in to understand the base mechanics (which don't even involve spending money if you're smart about free resource use) so he's completely oblivious to this.
 
My dear fellow mentally-ill idiots, as mentioned here before, during DSP's latest KoF shitfest, an opponent by the name of "ClassReal" started using a combo with Dinosaur consisting of triple low jab followed by whatever the fuck that was. I must admit I am not a fan of fighting games. What I am a fan of however, is DSP's blatant hypocrisy. I must also admit I do not know much about fighting games, but I luckily don't need to to point out DSP's blatant hypocrisy. All I needed to do was put my autistic brain to work with some minimal effort.

I put together a little spreadsheet, with some information about DSP's Dinosaur gameplay after his matches with ClassReal. Namely: the number of attempts to execute that very same combo with Dinosaur, how many succesful attempts there were, how much it accounted for in terms of percentage of damage, and the total damage he inflicted to the opponent.

It looks a little something like this:

DSP Hypocrisy.png

See the table added below.

NOTE: the percentages of damage dealt are based on the total health bar (thank you devs for including 10% measurements in the health bars). So the % of damage dealt with the combo is also based on the total health bar. For example: if the total damage he dealt to an opponent was 60% and the damage dealt with the combo was 30%, it means the combo caused 50% of the damage he dealt to the opponent. This has been accounted for in the "Average percentage of damage dealth per round (based on total damage dealt)".

For those who do not want to check the data: DSP is a hypocrite who calls other people scrubs for using a certain tactic/combo, then proceeds to steal that tactic/combo to have it become a major part of his gameplay (1/3rd to be exact). When others do it, it's "autocombo bullshit", but when he does it it takes skill and he beat the opponent because he's just that good.

I think the biggest clue that DSP is a fake gamer for me is that he uses the fighting stick thing. You can hear him tapping and clacking and stabbing his pig hooves on the buttons all the while complaining about input lag. My question is aren't those things really meant to be used during LAN parties and when the other player is in the same room as you? And please correct me if i'm wrong.
He busts that fight stick out as if its proof that he's a gamer when there's no reason to. He's secluded in that house where no one can verify his lag. Kat sure as fuck doesn't care about fighting games"How do you do fellow kids? See my fighting pad?" Its just sad.
Fight sticks are standard in fighting games, especially if you grew up playing in arcades. Playing with a gamepad isn't "weird" and you can do perfectly fine playing a fighting game on a standard gamepad, but I can tell you from experience that when you started off playing fighting games on an arcade cabinet it can feel really clunky trying to use a pad. That's why fight sticks for consoles exist, and you can use them both in offline and online multiplayer.

It's a bit of "playing as I've always played" and a comfort thing.

When I started I played on the OG X360 pad -because I really never hit arcades- and playing Decapre or shit like that was pure fucking pain. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty of players that are great with pad, be either with grapplers like Snake Eyes, zoners like Louffy or bumrushers like Smug. But for some others, they just don't click.

While using an arcade stick you're using other muscles and the way of gripping also changes depending on who's using them, giving you a bigger range of choices in how you input your moves.

This then ties into buttons, which I find cumbersome on pad and doesn't feel right to have 4 buttons and then playing around triggers and shoulder buttons with pinky and thumb or however people grab them. I've seen lads pull off some Monster Hunter on PSP-tier claw grips on pads, while I can just have my right hand fingers dance alongside eight wide buttons.

I shudder thinking of going back to a pad and still play Nina on T7.
 
Imagine playing alongside this dipshit in an arcade...


"uhhh I did nothing"

"WOAHHHH I NEVER PRESSED THAT!?"

"ACK ACK ACK Destroyed!!"

"I was blocking that!"

"You wouldn't have won if I picked Bison!"


No wonder people in the FGC hated him, he's annoying as fuck with the constant excuses.



"Wait you beat me twice??? You're a fucking scrub, who has no life and probably lives in his parents basement nuhuhuh."

"WOOH!!! I beat your ass, nuhuhuh I don't even know what I am doing. *leans back and smiles*

No wonder Phil hates gatekeeping. He'd get curbstomped by the FGC if it had instituted some standards back then.
 
I don't know what this has to do with anything. For old fighting games it makes sense to play with the original controller. Might be easier to pull of khambos because the stick is 8 discrete switches instead of an analog stick, so you know for certain which direction your inputs are.

Its a matter of personal preference.
Dave played Fighting Games for 30 years on stick, and it is common sense that it is easier for him to pull off moves on stick than on gamepad.>
If you look at it from a technical standpoint, a Hitbox would probably be the ideal controller because it lets you input directional buttons faster/simultaniously but if you would give a pad player, a Hitbox, he would suck ass with it until he learns to use it.

Just a reminder that Louffy won Evo 2014 Street Fighter 4 playing on a Playstation 1 Pad.

The first thing you gotta trick your mind to not do is using the analog stick as a replacement for an 8way stick. Use the D-Pad instead. There is a lot of "its personal preference" when it comes to controllers but one thing top level players can agree on is not to use the analog sticks.

They're usually to sensitive, I know I can do a 6 > 3 > 2 (imagine the position like a numpad) every time using a Dpad, and an 8way stick funnily enough to enter Taki's possession stance in soul calibur 6, trying to do that with an analog stick is damn near impossible to nail 100% of the time and even less so in the heat of a match. Try with an analog stick and it can easily be 9>6>3>2 so the game looks like its dropped your input.

I still get my ass handed to me by certain players on a pad though, fighting sticks aren't indicative of a players skill.

Some combos I feel are easier if you set up your stick a certain way though. You can combine multiple inputs to one button so a combo becomes as simple as pressing 3 pretty big buttons. as opposed to bridging your thumb over Y and B (or Triangle and Circle) and hoping you press them both at the same time.

There's a video online somewhere (perhaps a helpful kiwi knows what I'm talking about) of Phil playing against someone in person where you can literally hear him murmuring stuff like that under his breath as he gets beat, then gives a super salty handshake and storms off. For the longest time I thought that was just his online persona but that video confirmed he is just genuinely mentally ill.
 
[...]Use the D-Pad instead. [...]

100% agree. No one believes me irl when I say it after they mangle a turn in Mario kart because the sticks are too sensitive

It's a speed thing too, I almost feel like you lose a split second trying to figure out where the analog stick is and should be whereas D pad is always instantly predictable
 
Lazy cunt still can't change his fucking patreon, was having a look at it.


Someone who wants real growth puts effort into their streams and content, they don't clock out like it's a nine to five job and refuses to do one minute past close time unless he is guilt tripping hard for money so he can feed his wife because you guiz didn't support the stream.

Has this faggot actually ever put in preparation work for his streams?
Like not installing the game on the start of the stream like a retard.
phil literally thinks if he just plays that one game, he'll suddenly be rolling in millions, and can retire to some island so he can self medicate and play gotcha all day

Correct, that's why specialized gamepads for fighters usually don't have analog sticks, you're supposed to do everything on pad. I still prefer a stick, but getting used to doing motions on a d-pad isn't that hard, circular motions for example are as simple as just very quickly rolling your thumb over the d-pad. Hell I find motions where you have to repeat a direction like 66 to actually be easier on pad.

I don't know which video you're referring to, this one?
The tournament footage where I distinctly remember Phail using all the same excuses he uses when playing ahnline is when he played MK9, check it out.

You need to show them the dark souls of kart racers then, Garfield Kart.

Trying to daisy chain drifts while you're getting put to sleep and toppled over with heat seeking pies is tougher than a ng+ run of dark souls.

Anyway back on track. Is this the first time Phil has played a fighting game at launch and dived right into the online?

Because even on the tough difficulties the AI still plays like total Derichs, so when Phil sticks to offline he's training himself to fight against derich AI that won't help him the minute he gains a rank and gets out of the derich pool. (if he ever gets that far)
 
Back
