DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell - General Discussion

[Faded]

Pretty much. He bragged about that win too as if he actually won because of skill.

I hear his "strategy" is the same though. Run and hide and make it as far as he can through luck rather than skill or playing the game like a normal person. I would like to think it's a psychological thing where in any confrontational situation Phil would wait for his enemies to take each other out then proclaim himself the winner by doing none of the work. But who knows? Maybe I'm thinking too much.

like getting top 4 at evo

Fucking lol. $200 drop on Patreon. N xt prestream should be good.

It will be fun to see how he spins this. He can't mope and be passive aggressive about the goal not getting hit because he made the change to Twitch subs. Probably do the "Patreon power" speech, even though he has shit all over the patron's choices multiple times.

Either way there will be some kind of push for cash by the end of the month, because he doesn't get paid his Twitch money for about two months. Just in time for that huge tax bill he is already bitching about.

The fucking egotism and narcissism in this guy, he can't not just have a camera pointed at his fat head, he has to recreate himself in every damn game that has a character creator. I'm glad he put a baby tat on him because he is a big fat baby

I know that recreating your appearance on an avatar is fairly common but phil's lust for plastering and looking at his face everywhere in every single game and all his fanart and merch really takes it to a new level. Is this a narcissist calling card?

 

[Prince_of_Rewards]

Still confused why he subjected himself to 3 after hating 1 and rage quitting 2.

He clearly doesn't enjoy, understand, or care to learn about the game. It's not a fighting game so he doesn't have a basis of knowledge, it's just like when he was terrible at fifa because he refused to learn.

The only thing he's done better than ufc 2 is not name his character NAME.

None of his fans even care about sports games. That's why he hasn't played one since Madden (maybe the nhl beta? The best tihydp btw).

Just baffles me.

edit: I will say that Phil's lack of sports knowledge is maybe my favorite thing when he plays sports games. He refuses to practice or learn and things like fifa and madden are just a constant highlight reel, even when he tried to cheese the ai on easy.

I remember back in the day he couldn't figure out how to start a quick match in FIFA and consistently fucked up getting through menus to thee actual game.

I also recall him playing FIFA and using the pass button to shoot, and constantly insulting the game mechanics, the fan base around FIFA, and ultimately(in ignorant New England fashion) insulting the pronunciation of player's last names. Asshole Phil doesn't watch sports or rarely mentions he watches any sporting matches in real life, so when he pops in an NBA or FIFA or MADDEN it's him trying to make a quick view-buck by playing ignorant to the gaming ecosystem. He's a digi-whore.

He won EVO East 2006 in Hyper Street Fighter 2. That's probably his biggest win. I'm sure he won some local tournaments in various iterations of SF2 and maybe SF3 courtesy of lesser local players.

There is no way Chad here would play 3S. That game is the EVE of fighting games and if he can't even handle Monhan there's no way. He probably thinks parrying is cheating.

 

[BrunoMattei]

I remember a video on youtube someone posted where a former Arcade champion who played Street Fighter in the early 1990's dominated everyone and actually won a championship. I can't remember his name (I believe it was Tato or something close to it). Anyhow the video described by folks how great he was as a kid . He was 12/13 and would dominate everyone in the arcade. He then won the big tournament and named champion.

So as quick as he arrived ....he disappeared a year or two later. He never came around to play anymore. As one guy joked , he had beaten everyone. So he got bored and decided to move on. Well after searching they found out where he lived and he was now married with a couple kids.

He admitted he grew bored with Street Fighter and he had beaten everyone and just stopped playing. That he went to college and has a good job n family. That he never really told his family about his Street Fighter past.


It was like this guy was the anti-DSP. His life went on , he achieved what he wanted and he packed that part of his life away and moved on to have a family and career.

His nickname was Tomo.

 

[PoopMagnet]

I love Phil commentary on sports games. He shows no aptitude or understanding of the sport but talks of it in a manner as if he is thoroughly knowledgeable on it. He's that dude that can't articulate the plays being called, doesn't understand how penalties are called, and thinks he knows how to manage or playcall for a team because he played Madden/FIFA once or twice in his life.

Also a huge bandwagon fan as well. He's Tristate so he was a huge vocal fan of the Jets in 2010 when they had some good win streaks but now "doesn't like sports."

 

[TheyCallItNPD]

His UFC player is quite disconcerting. From certain angles during fights, it looked quite photorealistically like Phil (in terms of face shape and hairline at least). It's actually worse than the shower video - a semi-naked digital Phil.

I also thought about his narcissism disorder - he always makes a version of himself if there's a character contructor. Is it sheer lack of imagination? Many people enjoy the chance to become someone else... but Phil only wants to be Phil.

Here's the video. It's a good watch.

The thing is, relating to several other posts in this thread about his past, Phil was never amazing at fighting games, but he was competent. Trying to downplay his past matches saying that people like Justin Wong let him win is just dumb.

Phil sucks at fighting games now, he's a miserable human being now, he's a pathetic shell of a man now, there's no reason to pretend he was never OK at fighting games to try and make him look even more pathetic. He does that more than well enough on his own.

I mean, hell, his own claim to fame of glory that he keeps bringing up is a 5th place or something? Once? Like 15 years ago? Let that stand for itself. Trying to make that sound more pathetic than it already is only reflects poorly on yourself.

his claim to fame is that he got 1st place*
*if you ignore the 3 japanese players that did better than him**
**on a port of a game hardly anyone else played***
***over a decade ago

phil is the kind of person who would gloat about being the smartest person on the bus... and toss in "it was the short bus" in tiny text at the end.

.

I didn't say he totally did. I just said it was something I always wondered considering Justin Wong's level of skill far exceeds Phil's. Being competent at Street Fighter means nothing against someone who is more competent at it . If that makes me sound dumb then I'm sorry.

This was the video by the way

If it's worth anything, that video was twelve years ago. That and even the high tier players in the FGC don't have perfect records either. It's almost surreal how you can do a character study on Phil just from his fighting game time alone. There's no denying Phil was at least decent back then- otherwise he'd be way more irrelevant back then- but like everyone knows by now, everyone else tried to learn and adapt, meanwhile Phil stayed mediocre and had to jump on a game most high level players skipped to even bag that 4th place trophy. You could even argue he got even worse, with doubling down on his attitude, not committing to learning a system, and his age and health. Phil has shown plenty of times to cling on wins, not realizing no one cares if you beat a known pro unless you can consistently do it.

On a sidenote, I just got my 5th win this morning.

Phil's average skill in fighting games has never been the issue, it's how he is always a bad loser and a bad winner. I don't even understand how once in a blue moon he calls a match "good" when he loses - he has insane standards for what constitutes a "good" match in a fighting game. From what I can gather, in his tiny world a match needs to have "an honorable player" before he's satisfied, and that's ridiculous because there is no "honor" in the objective of getting the opponent's HP to zero.

Once in a while when someone does a decent combo but also fucks up and lets Phil do one combo back, he sees it as an "honorable" match and is content, doesn't swear, doesn't shout, but still has to squeeze in a tiny bit of passive-aggressive critique of the other player or an excuse why "I could've totally beaten that one BUT"

But no, his skill's not *bad*, it's average. Nothing special one way or the other, it's his attitude that stinks the worst. You can easily enjoy average, especially from someone who does all kinds of games for fun. Unfortunately Phil does worse than average in everything that's not fighting games and isn't having any fun.

btw he's still going on about his EVO win, just a couple days ago. As if his win has anything to do with sucking ass at DBFZ (the ego on this guy, I swear)

 

[Freshtodeath]

I'm gonna assume this is what happened. At the time DSP hyperfocused on 1 game. Justin Wong is prolific so he probably was focusing on many games at once (Marvel 2, SF3, SF Hyper Turbo) maybe even Smash bros Melee.

Thanks guys for the info. I thought the name started with a T. I believe I saw that video awhile back.
