DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[RIPRhongoBongo]

I found it funny he whined about Zafina being a gimmick character when he was carried to Master using literal gimmicks

 

[Catboy Ranch Dressing]

Watching the guy play Tekken. He really calls anything the opponent does "mashing".

In Street Fighter, he calls any counter his opponent does "random." If they neutral jump to avoid his command grabs, it's random. If they time a Level 3 to counter his offense, random.

There was a dude in last night's Tekken 8 stream who whiff punished with a Rage Art (basically a comeback super) and Phail called it "random." Everything everyone else does wasn't timed, it was mashed, random, spammed, pattern play, but Blanka ball into grab being 50% of his gameplan in SF6 is calculated, a good read, he predicted it 10 steps back etc.

I can't wait for when people catch on to Phil and repeatedly use throw escapes. Fuckhead was whining last night that someone ducked his throw attempt and he blamed it on the game and lag. He'll eventually run into a player who manages to create breathing room to prevent Phil from trying to use command throws all the time, and we'll get a whole new set of excuses. At least he hasn't bitched about rollback netcode (yet).

 

[Rabbi Palpenstein]

I'd argue that would be best for him anyway. He needs to transition away from internet content creation as his primary source of income.

I doubt he'll voluntarily do that, though.

He will die before he does that. Remember years ago, Machinima was trying to set him up with the possibility of being a Fighting Game Commentator, and he reacted with confusion and annoyance that they would DARE insinuate he do something other than sit on his ass all day getting mad at video games. Phil has burned too many bridges to do anything like that now
Man, I miss the Machinima arc

he has complained about internet connections being shit, implying that the netcode isn't the best?

Considering we are approaching tax season, you guys think he's gonna get more manic with the whole members and tips?

We are always approaching something he can exploit for tips and memberships.

Yes, undoubtedly. His member income is going to go down significantly by March.

Another exdenthead to join the club, right next to BlindFatty and RahbAhnWheels

2011 through 2014 Phil would just buy anything he ever looked at or thought of. He's always been this empty shell of a person who thought 'If I buy all the toys people will want to hang out with me.'

I was watching the video where he talks about his fire alarm he ripped off in the condo recently because it is fucking hilarious and I only recently realized how much of a fire hazard his hoarder condo was.

Phil legitimately thought he'd have an easy way to escape his the condo caught fire when that place already had shitty visibility. That condo filled with smoke and fire with very little fucking manuveroubility is a fucking death setence and serious hazard to everyone, himself included, in that building. Not to mention all the loose wires and shit he had all over the floor plus the fucking shit literally everywhere.

And just a reminder, we have confirmation from last year that at the very least the smoke detector in the ahffice is ripped out from when he was fucking with his camera and trying to set some shit up.

Actually fucking scared me.

I'm pretty sure he mentioned them yesterday, but I can imagine we get some unhinged shit this year.

 

[Need Help With Tips]

DSP playing Tekken is cringeworthy even when he's not explicitly raging about the game, the constant "dood, I don't know what this character does! I don't know the matchup!" is grating. You said you barely play Tekken and you need to learn, you don't have to remind us that you don't know what the brand new character Victor does every time you get hit by anything.

Probably, before the bankruptcy DSP never put aside money for taxes and if he's in debt again from spending money on pulls then he might have to do another two fundraisers. One to raise funds for taxes and the second to raise money to pay taxes on the fund raised in the previous fundraiser. Just like the old days.

It was even more cringe when he cried about lack of character knowledge when he got blown up by Bryan and Lee players who mostly just used moves they've had since either Tekken 3 or Tag 1. I thought he was a robust classic-style Tekken player?

Dave's need to always have an underdog qualifier "I don't know this character!" "I only use low-tier characters to challenge myself!" is another thing that's beyond tired now.

Oh Emerald Seven, Where Art Thou?

 

[Overdrive MASK_de_SMITH]

Can we stop for a second and analyze his new favorite phrase: "Can't stop the BUTTON MASH!"

Button mashing obviously is a thing in fighting games, but calling combo strings "button mash" is just otherworldly levels of stupid. He probably says it 3 dozen times in this video. No Phil, you can't stop the other player from playing the game.

Anytime Phil caught his opponent "mashing buttons," he was actually trying to mash out of blockstun. Maybe Super Turbo let you get away with that, because that game had invincible reversals, but not Tekken. In Tekken, your options are to sidestep and hope their next attack doesn't track you, predict the next attack and "crush" it depending on how it hits you (a crush is when you use an attack or movement option that simultaneously evades the next attack, like a 'high crush' evading high attacks), or keep blocking and hope they throw out something unsafe.

If that sounds hard to do, that's because it is. It's that level of thinking that goes into really learning and playing competitive Tekken, and that's just a fragment of it. What I mentioned was one defensive option out of so many others, and DSP's tiny mind can't fathom the amount of skill needed to really fucking cook in this game. Tekken ain't the pigpen, Phil. You gotta put that grind out or get bodied.

I'd argue that would be best for him anyway. He needs to transition away from internet content creation as his primary source of income.

I doubt he'll voluntarily do that, though.

No, he wouldn't. It'd be hard for him to leave content creation when he's centered his entire sham of a life around it for the past 15 years. The minute he stops making videos is the minute "DSP Tries It: Suicide" gets posted on a detractor channel. But he's just too stubborn for that.

Oh Emerald Seven, Where Art Thou?

He moved to Argentina. Duh

 

[myone]

The usual thrown back channel report. Still going strong right guys?

I'm looking forward to the day he gets sub 100 views on his main channel and we'll see daily black shirt emergency videos for his three remaining whales.

 

[FormerPro]

I wonder if Phil knows deep down just how insufferable his content is when you do anything other than point at laugh at how shit he is.

You would think if there was one genre that Phil might actually have the tiniest bit of insight about or anything at all interesting to say it would be fighting games. I had him on my second monitor last night and when he's doing well his entire commentary consists solely of him shouting out whatever move he's just done and one of his 3 or so catchphrases in a strange voice.

" TIJUANA TWISTER BABY! Oh wow look at this- MOONSAULT! GIANT SWING! MONSTROUS DAMAGE. I GOT HIM."

How he could ever keep a straight face while calling his content meaningful might be his biggest achievement.
