depression segment after his SF session where he took off his hat and glasses cause he was sweating too much (ingame and irl)
- modern fighting games simplified controls so much and his inputs are so accurate that the games just can't help but do moves that are executed by the first half of his inputs
- learning the new way would require more time which he doesn't have with the new FF coming out
- half the cast plays the same
- everything is safe
- every match is an insane grind
- everyone has a 60% damage combo
- SF changed, not pure anymore, too many tools

Bets on when SF6 is getting moved to fridays?
 
He is really starting to hate Street Fighter 6. It's taken pretty much the same path as SF5 did where he hypes it up and likes it at first, then the new cannon fodder players lose interest and/or his rank gets too high and he can't keep up with the competent players. He starts losing 50% or more of his matches and his ego just can't take that so he starts going on increasingly salt filled rants with ridiculous excuses and complaints straight out of the scrub handbook.

I hate to give phil credit for anything but im honestly surprised hes actually been playing online ranked matches. I thought he would spend 2 months in single player mode.

My money is on SF2 coming back to Fridays. SF6 is hurting the ego too much so its going to be deemed a shit game like SF5. However, he is still craving some SF action so back to SF2 where lobbies let you dodge good players and beat up on retards all night.
 
He is really starting to hate Street Fighter 6.
He hates it because it truly rips his ass open for all the world to see just how bad he has gotten at fighting games. My apologies for creating that visual but it is accurate. I would say when he was appearing at tournaments for Super Turbo he was "decent" he had good overall reactions, combo timing, and a decent meta game even though it devolved into choosing a counter pick*.

His reaction time has only devolved as he's gotten older and I'm sure his closeted alcoholism has not helped that. He has no real sense of a meta game trying to understand the player he's facing. He doesn't have the scrub friendly mechanics that Super Turbo had such as most supers are safe on block and are very easy to chip kill with, if you do a wakeup SRK or Flash Kick and it's blocked or it whiffs you don't really get punished as hard as modern games where at the worst the other guy will just hit you with a sweep that does like 10% damage or something like that.

Plus the fact that 6 gives players tools to catch you pressing buttons which he's simply not used to this at all. I don't play 6 but if you do that armored move there's a huge risk/reward factor and it forces you to respect the other player and understand the meta game or you will get opened up. There's no "get away from me" kind of shit like mashing Jab, Jab into something or cr.MK into fireball with the shoto characters without the threat of the opponent calling you out for doing that.

From what I can tell: 6 shuts down the auto-pilot you could get away with in most Street Fighter games because of that armored move, parries, and that dash cancel move. Because of that, it forces you to adapt and change up your gameplay from match to match and this is something Phil and people like Low Tier God simply cannot do because of their inherent stupidity and weaknesses in fighting games.

*An example of counter-picking: you play Ryu in Super Turbo and getting your shit pushed in by a Vega player. So now you switch to Blanka or E.Honda to stop specifically what that Vega player can do.
 
Yeah after yesterday's Street Beggar 6 session I'm thinking its days are numbered. That one Ryu downloaded and destroyed him so hard that he went on a 7 minute extended schizorant about how everyone else is so much of a low IQ flowcharter that SOMEHOW his galaxy brain IQ and Hannibal-tier strategies don't work. Then he did what I waited for a few streams to happen and said that the game is just like SFV with its "safe bullshit."

In a few months he's gonna do his usual crazy homeless guy at the train station rants about how he's the only guy who is real and ahnest and transparent and isn't a paid shill so he EXPOSED SF6 for being a shitty fake SF game, everyone else is a paid shill or was brainwashed by the FGC Illuminati and snake-headed aliens working at Capcom who put brain control probes inside every idiot who likes SF6.

Oh yeah, I also love how this game has such good netcode that he can't really bitch about lag so he added an excuse where he basically told on himself for having no fundamentals. You know his excuse about how he has a competitive way of playing so scrubs doing random shit peace him out since his pro gameplay can't compete? Yeah, he basically admitted that he has zero fundamentals and that he's a scrubby flowcharter who gets fucked once his flowchart stops working. This bullshit about competitive players getting peaced out by scrubs doing random shit just doesn't happen. Daigo doesn't get destroyed by 9 year old Goro showing up and just going full gorilla mode on his arcade stick.

Objectively speaking: V was a shit game. It had mountains of issues beyond just the gameplay. The journo's and casuals complained that there wasn't enough casual content. And the hardcore no life FGC tourney guys complained that the game was just badly designed, had an emphasis on button mashing for Crush Counters and "get in for free" YOLO gameplay that heavily rewarded someone for losing. The only reason why it was made was because Sony financed it wanting a good PS4 exclusive (it also had a Steam release with crossplay but no Xbox release). So it was really a game made for nobody.

It was such a failure that Capcom finally fired Yashinori Ono who oversaw Street Fighter 4, Cross Tekken (which was also a failure), and one or two other games I think. His role was kind of blurry in terms of what he contributed to the games but he was a big proponent of dumbing down the gameplay to make it easier for casuals. He was also an obnoxious fag who always appeared at game presentations and shit doing the "Herro! Thank you very much!" Jap promoter who barely speaks English schtick and liked to dress up in drag (such as Chun Li) at events and do Jap O faces for the cameras.

I know, I remember the months leading up to SFV's release and it had massive anti-hype. Japanese pro players even called it "Duty Fighter." My point was that SF6 really doesn't seem to fundamentally play the way SFV did. Plus his historical revision where he was the only person who was real enough to call SFV out for being bad is up there with him claiming that he invented the term playthrough and video let's plays. Just pure delusion.

For the record, Street Fighter has actually been working on that kinda thing since ST. SF4 had Focus Attacks for easy armor, SF3 had parries, Alpha had its Alpha Counters. Its just that V was so fucking nothing. There was like no big idea to the game, the V meter was the closest thing that game had to a unifying idea, and all it did was just give everyone a limited gimmick.
 
To add to the SF discussion:
While SF6's Drive System may be comparable to previous mechanics in the series like parry, focus attack, alpha counters and even crush counters, there is another slightly bigger change which blatantly exposes DSPs scrubbyness.
The Drive Meter.
He spents his Drive gauge every chance he gets and doesn't parry any attacks to preserve it.
I only had his stream up on the second screen, but I could swear that 90% of the time I looked he was in burnout mode.
There are obvious drawbacks to being in that state (like losing access to EX moves, the ability to parry and Drive Impact/Rush) but another big thing is that your opponent's attacks get safer on block. (every attack gains +4 frame advantage on block)
So basically during burnout, you can't interrupt hit strings you could before and have to block even harder and be more patient.
And we all know that this is exactly what he isn't able to do as he constantly tries to "mash" out of strings instead of blocking them.
 
He spents his Drive gauge every chance he gets and doesn't parry any attacks to preserve it.
His meter usage is completely retarded. He constantly uses the drive counter move, I forget what it's actually called but it's basically the same as an Alpha Counter from the Alpha games. It uses lots of meter and does basically no damage but you can do it to interrupt an opponent who is pressuring you and reset the situation. Phil is trying to throw it out every single time he blocks any enemy attack. I've seen both players in the middle of the stage, Phil block one jab and immediately do the counter. Then he does an EX Blanka ball and whoops, there went 2/3s of your meter, dumbass. Then he's getting trapped in the corner and constantly doing EX up ball to attempt to get out while whining that Blanka has no way to escape corner pressure, and he never uses the counter in that situation, which is basically what it's meant for. Just a fundamental refusal to understand the mechanics of the game, which should be very simple to someone who has played so much SF over the years.
 

According to DSP his life is suoer stressful and he can never add more artificial stress like sky diving, scuba diving, ridng in a submarine, jumping off a diving board, or going for a hike.

I shit you not, he fucking says hiking is dangerous because there are ticks out there. This motherfucker must've been so fucking coddled when he was little. Does he think ticks are super bugs that chew your arm off if they latch on or some shit? Does he not know they are repelled with alcohol, which is 90% of his body mass?

He can't even fake sympathy for these missing people and their families, some dent just says they are all billionaires and you can see his gin brain hold back gloating and being smug because they are successful. Retard it doesn't matter if they are billionaires, these people probably died painful deaths near the bottom of the ocean you fucking cunt. Go ahead and secretly gloat though asshole, make yourself feel superior to others just because they have money. Really does show how little he knows of the world if he has to have a dent tell him this news, isn't it a story on Twitter still?

That arrogant blow air through his nose laugh with that grin makes me want to go full on PoP mode and hope an jet engine falls on his house like in Donnie Darko
His little laugh that sounds like a snake laugh? I feel the same way when he does it.

Its so funny how this is the only game in the world where pros reliably get so thrown by new players they lose roughly half their matches. Id love for phil to point to examples of this happening to any other player in this or any other game.

You think if it was possible for a scrub to reliably body a pro by throwing out random moves then there would be at least one example of a fat retarded homosexual scrub lucking his way into a 4th place win.... Oh, well maybe phil is on to something.


His description of Avatar's plot is thus:"natural inhabitants of a region being invaded by outliers.''

bruh. who talks like this.

Someone who copied his homework from another movie reviewer but went to thesaurus.com so it wasn't so obvious. I think its safe to assume that if dave says anything thats not just "I saw a thing!" he stole it from another youtuber. He also needs to see what the majority opinions are so he can plop his gouty ass squarely on the fence to deliver his big brain centrist hot takes.

Its good but all the people who say its really good are stupid sheeple dood! If you like avatar style moobies then avatar is a moobieyou will like style!
 
Ok, that's taking it a bit too far.


A cat is living there.

hmm this is true...

His little laugh that sounds like a snake laugh? I feel the same way when he does it.

not quite it's like this blow through his nose laugh he was doing so he can make the smug face at the same time...
