You might want to update the OP with this new info.

The OP has been needing an update since March 2016. I still have it set to say that Phil has left Twitch and isn't coming back when now he makes his living begging for donations on Twitch.

Still, this new information does deserve it's own section, along with an update on current events here and there and an update on the greatest moments (such as the video that caused Leanna to dump DSP)

Don't forget to mention that he ate Leanna's sandwich and it was dry. RIP Leanna's sandwich.

I'm making some backups with archive.is of his top-haters site, his other stuff (namely SRK) probably won't be touched given he has no longer access to his SRK accounts.

Also, full apology to Valle from his old WhoaMoses account/SFA3 bitching:
Okay, so I over did it a little. Okay, a LOT. I was making assumptions that I
couldn't back up. It just gets a tad annoying when there's this whole East-West
coast rivalry thing that's so stupid to begin with, and then I have to read all
these arrogant bastards on the West coast saying they're just good,
period.......I'd like to apologize to Valle (tho he probably didn't read the
thread anyway) if it seems like I was making a personal attack on him. I
shouldn't have used his name, but been more general. I was just wondering if
these so called "pros" played a hell of a lot of SF to get that good, is all.
But I went overboard, and accused Valle of having no life and playing games
24/7. Oh well. We all have our bad days.
HOWEVER.........

I'm sorry guys but my belief that MvsC is more fun to play than A3 sticks.
That's right. I never said that MvsC had a better fighting engine, or that it
was a better game overall. I said that A3 is too slow (maybe my machine is set
really slow, or maybe I'm just used to the versus series, but it's just SLOW
around here) and that VCs are trash. And I still believe I'm right. If the game
was just A(Z) and X-ism, and a little faster, I might like it more. But I'm
sorry, this game is just too boring for me to play. I played it for a month
after it came out and soon realized that I could decimate any opponent with
No-ism Zangief. Then somebody actually figured out how to beat me, and I
switched to X-ism Dhalsim. After a week or two that got old and I picked
Rolento, then Karin, then Rose (who is highly underrated, if you ask
me).....then I even got desperate and played as the shotos....then the novelty
ran out. I'm just plain bored whenever I play that game. It's too highly
dependent on previously planned-out matches. And once I'd found out they ruined
the Alpha Counters.......well that was the last straw, so to speak.
MvsC is just more fun. It's more dependent on spur-of-the-moment thinking. Some
of you have argued that if you use a certain pattern with characters like
Wolverine, Chun-Li, or Strider, that you'll always win. Not so. In theory
you're right, but this is real life. People make mistakes. Controls mess up.
Shit happens. And it'll be that one second that you make a mistake that I'll
take control. And then you can kiss your beloved two tokens goodbye......
And as for infinites.......I already explained that nobody around here knows
how to use them but me, right? Well yeah the competition does mainly consist of
scrubs. But there are a few decent players. And why don't I use the infinites
to win every time? Because that just wouldn't be FUN. F-U-N. I'd rather have to
use three combos to defeat my opponent than one unescapable one. Because ya
see, video games are becoming a lot like professional sports. It used to be for
the love of the game. Now it's just to be "the big shot" who can beat
everybody. Well for those of you out there like that, I say SCREW YOU. We don't
need your kind around our machines. Some people just wanna have fun. Go play
baseball or something you losers. Use some skill for a change, learn how to
play the game, or go home.
Also there's a big difference between throwing and infinites.....namely, throws
are escapable, and throws don't kill you instantly. So there. Personally I love
throwing, and believe it or not I take a lot of shit about it. Maybe next time
a scrub complains about me throwing him, I'll use an infinite? Maybe then he'll
be happy.

So that's how I feel. This is my personal opinion. I never said any of this was
fact in the first place, just my belief that MvsC was more fun to play, and
therefore a better GAME overall, than A3. Because games are judged not by how
hard they are to play, or how much skill they take, but by how much fun you
have while playing them. And I knew that by going against popular opinion and
not conforming to what the common video gamer believes, I was gonna take a lot
of shit. And I did (13 posts of it actually). And that's okay, because nothing
that anybody says will ever change my opinion. Call me a scrub. Call me a
loser. Call me too lazy to play A3 every weekend and master all the characters.
Because you're right: I'd rather stay awake while playing MvsC.

I should mention that this post is dated January 22nd, 1999. So far, oldest known presence of Phil on the internet. I'm betting though, there's older posts from him.

I've been noticing that this thing called Impact keeps popping up in this site. Apparently, Phil wanted to try his hand at making a big fighting game tournament, one that would rival EVO. No, I'm not kidding. Seems like it was a short lived effort as by 2004, both this site and Impact seemed to be dead in the water. Need to keep checking on this.

On a sidenote, archive.is backups (just in case) from some of his SRK antics:
http://archive.is/CNlxt
MVC2/ST tourney results, dated April 17th, 2003. DSP won the ST tourney.
He still complained about the controls, though.

http://archive.is/PdZgv
Bitching about an MVC1 tourney and arguing with one of the staff members.

http://archive.is/6Jsfn
Calling Capcom programmers lazy. This post dates back to 2002. Even back then, he still blamed the programmers. He hasn't changed at all in 15 years.

I'll be backing up his SRK stuff now (may post some more top haters stuff later)

http://archive.is/ye3iJ
http://archive.is/FeXje
Starting a fight, claiming if he had gone to that specific tourney, he would have gotten 1st/2nd in MvC2, 2nd in CvS2, 1st in 3s, probably first in TMNT even though he's barely played it and 2nd/3rd in GGXX.

(November 10th, 2002 tourney results, Phil bitches about JWong being in MVC2)

Reserving this for top-haters stuff:
http://archive.is/Vsy9f
Apparently, his top-haters site had a webcomic. Couldn't find it now, but it's entirely possible DSP made a webcomic. Need more info to fully confirm this though.

Mentions leaving (for a while) the site to go to an internship company.

All this old stuff people have dug up (thank you) has been hysterical, but underneath the laughs is a deep sadness. This is proof going back to 1999 Dsp has been the exact same person he is today. I have seen people say they hope Phil wakes up and snap out of this delusion, but these old posts are proof that ship sailed long ago. Phil has been set in his ways for 20 years and will continue until the day he dies. Even if he loses his Youtube legacy, Twitch, his house, and his car this guy will still be on the internet in his parents house talking down to people with the same level of ego he has had his whole life.

BREAKING NEWS

It may not be a Phil alt:

https://twitter.com/WoahMoses1

Steam page: https://steamcommunity.com/id/xavenged7x

This is the Xbone account: https://account.xbox.com/en-US/Friends?gamerTag=ExplosiveSpace

So either (A) this guy happened to pick one of Phil's old aliases or (B) Phil is very dedicated. I think it may not be Phil because Phil doesn't have that much commitment for something like that.

'WoahMoses' was a chat mod before Twitch during mid-late 2015, his masked hostname confirms New Brunswick, Canada which fits with the Twitter & Steam public info.
He was obviously just using this already known old DSP nickname.

20151002 Indies Marathon #3:
[13:06] * WoahMoses (~WoahMoses@Rizon-43CC3708.dhcp-dynamic.fibreop.nb.bellaliant.net) has joined #TKOH
[13:06] * [^_^] sets mode: +o WoahMoses (+o meaning channel operator or full mod status, as opposed to +h for half-mod. This is 'Facebot', one of the many names available for a Rizon services bot who would op users, kick for blacklisted words etc.)
And to show he was modding that same day:
[13:22] * @WoahMoses slaps Popsicolo around a bit with a large trout
[13:22] <@WoahMoses> My first full-mod slap
[13:25] * WoahMoses sets mode: -v ArtificialDifficulty
[13:29] * PatreonGoalNewMouse was kicked by WoahMoses (PatreonGoalNewMouse)

He later used the old Oh Shoes Phil 'joke' from Friend Request Ridicule to hide his name... here's his last regular modding appearance:
20151130 Rock Band 4 Marathon:
[12:44] * WoahMoses (~Harley@oh.shoes.phil) has joined #TKOH

I was told about search results for DSP's old WhoaMoses name a couple years ago, a funny example was his usenet post begging for NeoGeo ROM sites: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/alt.games.sf2/HdsntgH-DAU/DT_VGbHWo8oJ

DSP at least admitted this in prestreams for KoFXIV, he said he'd played a couple earlier KoF titles in arcades then admitted to playing ROMs of at least a couple more when they didn't show up in his local arcades.

Usenet search for DSP's old names in the SF2 group here:

Been awhile, but I figured I'd hop on here again.

Don't know if this has been discussed before, but what do you guys think influenced Phil's decision to dedicate his teenage/20's years to fighting games, particularly Street Fighter 2?

My best guess is that he was slacking at school or frequented an arcade hall and played SF2 most likely beating some rookies thinking he was hot shit and would attend all these tournaments where he would meet John Rambo eventually.

One thing I find so absurdly hard to grasp is that for someone who apparently collects alot of video game stuff such as framed pictures and desktop figures that he'd be considered a video game geek, he sure as hell doesn't put any dedication towards getting good at them if that's his bigtime passion besides wasting money and just lazying around conning people.
