In preparation for the balance patch for SF6 one been doing a bit of digging and I personally think DSP is not going to enjoy the changes as much as he's hoping.

Blankas overhead is +1 on block instead of +2

Cammy has a couple of nerfs, mainly the side switch combo that wrecks Phil not being as effective or optimal and the spin move to dodge projectiles is a lot tighter to execute

Interesting one is every character will has access to drive reversal on wake up, but is +6 on block which is Interesting design wise but I think this is bad news for Phil, he abuses DR reversal as is and will get punished bad once people adjust

In summary: the salt mine will remain open
 
To any fitness kiwi here, since even though i exercise i dont have the deep knowledge. Is dsp muscle density supposed to look like that at his age?

Phil has the body of an elderly grandma. He has zero muscles in his arms, legs, shoulders, back etc. His torso is bloated. The man has the energy levels of an elderly man. Even his day off stories sound like stuff old people do.

Phil has deluded himself into thinking because the number on the scale is lower, he is no longer fat. The reality is a lot of his weight loss is due to muscle atrophy. I image he struggles to lift five pounds.
 
I absolutely love how much of a fucking consumer DSP is, he sees the new MultiVersus re-release or whatever and is soying out over all the cool new characters, saying he's definitely going to play it, then not even a minute later he says that the only reason he stopped playing it was because the audience didn't like it.
Wanting to play a game your audience has already told you that they don't give a fuck about is so fucking retarded, even for DSP's standards.

You know what blows my mind with DSP and Street Fighter? He never plays in practice mode. I dont think Ive come across any players at his level who dont enter practice at all. Its kind of mind boggling to me, practice modes are generally something most FGC players enjoy. While not everyone is a lab monster, its almost a pre requisite to enjoying fighting games. I know everyone here thinks hes the worst player to ever live, and every Doody video says he got destroyed all night, its kind of crazy he plays at the level he is at without ever entering that mode. None of his combos are really optimized, but its still somewhat impressive.

Really shows you how Philbert approaches everything in his life, minimal effort. Part of me thinks he doesnt practice as a way to cope and say, "I dont even take this game serious" but he never mentions it. He would rather sit and look at the matchmaking screen instead of labbing anything. I couldnt imagine playing a fighting game like that.

You look at someone like Sajam, who is a commentator and not really a competitor, the guy and 99% of all other streamers are in practice mode inbetween matches, not DSP.

I was actually curious about this myself and I looked it up on the boot camp and he has more hours in CUSTOM ROOM MATCHES (7 hours) than in practice mode.

I feel like you can see in real time Phil realizing nobody is going to buy his bullshit in this clip. Like he starts out genuinely annoyed and surprised, but like halfway in he’s just starting at the chat and insulting the guy and it doesn’t feel like it’s got that oomph to it like when he’s really tilted

It’s less impressive when you remember a lot of the other players at his level also probably spend next to no time in practice mode. He’s played against some absolutely dogshit master level players

He also plays goofy ass characters that cheat you outta rounds, zangief just needs a couple spd and you’re dead, Blanka and his gay ball move, and Lily is also a command grab character. These are more unorthodox characters that will really knowledge check players in a way stuff that flowchart Ken’s don’t, it’s a lot easier to block punches than it is to learn on the spot how to deal with goofy ass command grab robbery, it’s why grapplers have sorta a stigma in FGC’s

I’m not going to call SF6 a scrubby game, but it’s definitely a game where just putting in the time you can get to his level in the rankings without fully learning how to play the game lol

I've always believed that Phil would be perfectly happy living in some shitbox trailer in the middle of nowhere, doing nothing but gacha on his phone, drinking, and watching wrestling, if it meant every cost for the rest of his life was covered. Because the pigroach simply doesn't have any idea of actual, meaningful success.

More realistically, if he loses youtube streaming, he'd be one of the guys who do truck unloading at 3am at Walmart or Target, and that to-this-day unspecified back injury sure as shit wouldn't exist.

He’s already letting the khando fall into disrepair, won’t be long until the place is a shithole

He has admitted that the WAKhando has water leaks and mold buildup, I doubt he ever took care of the latter so him and Khet are probably suffering from some robust mold poisoning too. I believe that out of his 2 and a half bathrooms only one still works, the other bathroom and the 3rd toilet have been out of commission for years. He also has admitted to regular bug infestations.

Yeah, I'm thinking it's already a shithole. The only saving grace is that his pigroach luck made it so that all this shit is self-contained within his middle unit khando, you just fucking know that if his neighbors got leaks and mold due to their ghoulish and fhet neighbors the HOA would've put the fear of God into him already.
 
If it weren’t obvious before Phillip never touched anything other than dumbbells it is now.

“I know if I had the time I would enjoy working out now”
”It was addicting”
”What do you mean favorite exercise?”
”How the fuck am I supposed to remember the most weight I’ve done”
Nobody who watches DSP lifts but it’s wild to see just how transparently he‘s making this shit up as he goes. No time to work out now, he’s busy watching TV and drinking.
Hit the nail on the head with how Phil works. Just embellishment and exaggeration.

I found a lot of similarities with the Catholic upbringing and why he doesn't do charity events(Bankruptcy forms shown he doesn't donate to charity at all anyway). Why would you record/document your achievements like a better physique?; Why would you BRAG about that?

Everyone serious about this shit likes to share their success and people sometimes really want to know because we want that, too. Of course he is paranoid and gets defensive because he sees this as someone trying to call out the bullshit but generally people want to know your routine. Especially when you phrase it like "I GOT BUFFED UP LIKEE CRAZZZZY AND PEOPLE AT SCHOOL WERE LIKE 'oh better not mess with that phil fella hes like lookin like hella buff dude'.

Nigga is full of fallacies. He could do a rant about something and you could throw a dart at a list and you wouldn't be wrong.

Mom said it was my turn on the bench press!

Wow, he's so jacked! He looks like a bodybuilder!

no way he’s doing it on reaction
What the fuck does that even mean? Is he implying that the guy was randomly doing DP every time he did blanka ball? Because I saw that match and the guy read him like a book.

Phil will cry anyway and say they ruined the game. Because even if they nerf all the top tiers to bottom and buff all the bottoms to top, then Phil will stop playing them and switch to the low tiers and cry about the same things all over again. He's gonna use the patch as an excuse to quit and say they "ruined" the game, even though he already says it's a piece of shit every time he loses.

For anyone who doesn't keep up with Rekieta, Nick just finished up a drunken disaster stream where he spoke about putting his "penis in [Phil's] butthole" and either jacked off on stream or was doing a very realistic impression of DSP'S incident (jury's still out on which).

Considering Phil's blatant glee at Nick's grim decline, I'm sure he'll have some insightful commentary on the situation.
Holy shit what did you guys (and the appeals court) do to him?

I don't play SF6 but I watched some of Phil getting Zangief to master. I then happened to watch a pro play the same character and witnessed them use a mid-air grab. I had no idea that was even a mechanic from watching Phil play. The guy is a little better than average, he can definitely beat bad or average players, but he gets dusted by good players.

If you don't play SF6, yeah I'd suggest you actually watch better players because it squashes a lot of bullshit Phil says and does. Really good breath of fresh air too.

He fought a Gief last night that did every move Phil never pushes. The Blanka he fought gave me T8 Yoshimitsu mirror match vibes of pressing every other button Phil has yet to do or utilize in an effective way.

Just completely embarrassing on his part.

I guess it depends on how you define average, on the bell curve of all active SF6 players, hes way better than average. But amongst Master players he is struggling to get beyond 1500 MR with any character, (which is the MR you need to achieve Master). So among the top 8 or 9 percent of all players, his MR rating is average.

I tuned into DSP for just a moment last night and he threw out a random Blanka ball (of course he did) in a mirror match, and the Blanka read him like a book and neutral jumped into a full combo punish. The piggie blew his fucking lid off and said its impossible to full combo off of that lol. I dont know what the fuck he meant by that but it made me laugh.

Reactions: Brother Wind
Hour two of the salt ejection SF6 video sessions yesterday, time code 38:35 of Phil's upload to his own channel, "KatNeedsOzempic"'s (neghole pozzing ween, I still laughed but poor form regardless despite the pigroach baconsweat you created) JP finishes off scrub Phil Burnell with a jab chained into a combo, Phil asks "Why did that hit me?" Easy stupid loser, (I saw this at 1.5 speed, went back to confirm I didn't speed it up so much I missed the detail of the exchange) Phil is ducking and ate a medium height jab, again he doesn't understand basic blocking that has never changed once in 30 years of franchise entries in his "favorite" series. Complete scrub, get bodied, go fuck yourself blaming anyone or thing but yourself. Your wife is fat as shit too, tell her to stop chewing, the ween's name is right.

Mom said it was my turn on the bench press!
To me the most revealing part was that this little old man rant was in the same overall rant as him saying how proud he was that he got lower-mid tier characters to Master in a video game.

Bruv, if you feel the need to whip your dick out and say "oh yeah bro I lifted, I did all the exercises that got me to 20lbs of muscle and NO ONE fucked with me anymore" then get asked a simple 'oh right? What was your PR?' then commit to a tangent about fucking trolls and belief and proving things online and practically insinuating the dude asking was a POS for even showing interest in your thing, and belittle people who DO take pride in their real world accomplishments (getting virtual fighters to a common rank is not a real record, Phil)

It's baffling. Last night he was so toxic to simple shit. Even if they were trolls, or larpers, the questions he answered were so innocuous and inoffensive and he treated them all like they were asking for his bank account. "How was your day Phil?" 'Watch my podcast and playthrough and you'll see I had a good day' Sorry, what? What kind of answer is that?
Why do people find him off putting and toxic again?
