Holy fucking C O P E C A S T Batman










Phil unveils the theme for his upcoming summer marathon event
... it's called DSP
DSP's DSP (Digital Summer Party)
During the marathon, Phil is going to discuss all of the new games coming out, and decide which ones he wants to play. Then there will be a
"fun gaming segment" , in which, Phil will be doing a
"fun and special online segment" of Street Fighter 6. There will also be a
"special tiermaker event" in which Phil will be ranking "
American cookout-style cuisine"
"So that'll be neat, just there, just think about that, .... intro, drinking because if- ya know if- ... people contribute a certain amount I'll take a shot, gaming schedule update, Street Fighter 6 online play..... uhhhhh tiermakers, and... food recipes, pretty neat! Right?
Phil begins his Street Fighter 6 cope-therapy session..
Right off the bat, Phil complains that the game ranked him too high based off of his placement matches with Manon, and this is why he was getting clapped so fucking hard yesterday.
He uses this ass-beating cope, to transition into one of the most
unfuckingbelievable copes I've heard in a while....
( KF won't let me embed the restream VOD, very fucking cool, so here's the link. The rant starts at 36:00 if you want to watch it for yourself. )
Back in the day, when a new fighting game was released, it took months for people to get good at the game. But nowawadays, because fighting games have become profitable, - (Phil stops mid sentence and emphasizes that people
do not do this
[thing he hasn't even said yet] because of hype or popularity, they only do it for profit) so people think that if they get good at a new fighting game in a week, they will get views, popularity, and will win tournaments, even though Phil just said they do not do this for popularity.
Phil once again emphasizes that people only get good at fighting games quickly because of money.
Phil says that the FGC used to be a fun, casualized environment where people could get good at a game at their own pace, and literally no one cared about getting good at games quickly, because people actually had lives back then.
Back in the day, it would have taken someone 6 months
minimum to get this good at Street Fighter 6, had it been released 20 years ago or whatever. But now, everything has become a competition. Phil says that competitive fighting games have now become a competition
Phil complains that he gets punished for 60% of his health when he makes one mistake. He tries to shame the people he's playing against, for spending a week grinding combos in the game, .. it didn't used to be like this myann.
He copes about no longer being a professional Street Fighter player. He hasn't labbed combos like his opponents have. Why? Because Phil is focused on providing a variety of content for his audience. This means he must play every character in the game, he cannot lab one character and get good with them. If Phil
could, he would have picked one character and grinded it out, but his audience would not have gotten the variety, and people would have complained that his content is boring.
Trying out a new character in Ranked online play is a recipe for disaster, because Ranked is full of try-hards with their "get good mentality" playing the one character they've been practicing with. Games aren't supposed to be that serious, its supposed to be chill fun, but these no life losers on Ranked spend their time labbing combos. It didn't used to be like this back in the day. Even when Street Fighter 4 came out, people didnt get this good this quickly, it was months of chill fun, but now... gaming has gone too far.
Gametrekker, in addition to having given Phil hundreds and hundreds of dollars in the past couple weeks, has also created a Google Doc for Phil, which keeps track of all of his wins and losses, his performance with each character, online placings, etc. Phil opens this doc and immediately complains again about how the game put him in the wrong online placing, and he shouldn't have fought those try-hards.
Phil says that fans have suggested he start playing Casual online instead of Ranked. Phil says that he never plays Casual in any fighting game, but he now has to because of the try-hards. Its literally impossible to play Ranked, and it's also Capcom's fault for making the game like this.
Anyway, Phil needs to de-stress, so he will be playing the Single Player mode in SF6 instead of playing online for the next several streams. He also heard through the grapevine that Single Player has some sort of in-game currency that you can use to buy skins and stuff.. pretty neat huh?
Tuuhuu
Big ups to
@Bigbadyeet for the clip
Phil gets a 1 dollar tip from someone trying to impersonate someone else from Phil's "community" Phil says multiple times he knows who this person is, (remember guys.. Phil only sees your email address when you tip), and he goes on a toxic deboonk, in which he says that online harassment from trolls pushed away that secret lined-up interview he's had for months, you know.. that interview Phil made up immediately after the SideScrollers debacle? Also copes about react shit.
