That would require Phil to even admit he's not the greatest game player ever born.
Phil would literally die before ever letting those words leave his mouth.

Please, he's very open about the fact that there are 3 Japanese players better than him.

Guys, for real, I don't fucking get it.
Esports athletes RETIRE in their mid 20's, cause even then, their hand eye coordination and reaction time is WAYYY down compared to their competition.
Phil....is approaching his FUCKING 40 years old
Yet somehow he's gonna go to his grave ranting and raving that the ONLY reason people even touch him is because he's getting robbed due to lag and online play.
We will never witness this magnitude of raw pride and ego, ever again.

Until Phil explodes, with Phill II emerging from the ooze left behind, revealing that Phil is a failed Timelord who can only regenerate the same personality a few decades younger.

The thing is that even at his "peak" at fighting games Phil was only good at ONE game. Just one. Which was Super Turbo. He was pretty bad or average at best (to be generous) at everything else he played. There are tournament players in the FGC who are in their 30's or late 20's and continue to play. Infiltration, who is considered one of the best players for Street Fighter 4 and 5 and won multiple Evo's, just recently won Evo Japan and the guy is 32.

Speaking of, is it just me or does he try to play every single fighting game as if it's Super Turbo? Sometimes it looks like he's trying to do "footsies" or other ST-specific things.

True. Super Turbo is a complex and easy game if that makes any sense. Complex in that you have to have very good reactions and make reads in order to win. Easy in that the game is all about counter picks and you just have to learn one or two combos and your best options at getting in.

Between the money he brings in and the daily spamming of Twitch reports from people who want to get him banned Twitch probably just pretends Phil isn't on their platform. He is a nobody who Twitch can leech cash off of with the slimmest of chances for it to backfire.

Why the fuck does he want to go to California so badly? He was talking about going to California all the time when he was with Leanna. Does Kat want to go to California? Maybe, but we know Phil does, and that's all that matters to him. She'll be along for the ride, sure, but he'll just use her as a photo op to brag about his vacation to California. And lol at wanting to see Universal Studios. Not even somewhere good like Disneyland, fucking Universal Studios.
Boy, it must be really awkward for Kat to be in the other room listening to Phil rant and rave like a lunatic over a video game. And you know that Phil is gonna cry on her shoulder about it, too, telling her about how he had a rough day at work, dood. She has to comfort a 35 year old man like he's a small child because he can't handle losing. Not to worry, she knows that her giant manbaby just needs another fattening meal to keep him happy for a few hours.

Valle is no slouch in modern fighters. I don't know if he's started playing DBZ yet. But he's transitioned to being more of a tournament organizer/E-Sports guy now.
Edit:
2nd edit: I'm a minute into this video and have to pause and offer some fighting game commentary. Phil is using Android 16 who is tentatively considered to be a top tier character. And it's funny that he hasn't evolved in the slightest. He still plays like it's Day 1. BTW, he played the beta's as well.
16 is considered one of the most dominant characters in the game because his buttons are really good, he has pretty much every tool you can think of except a full screen beam super, but his most notable aspect is that he can get hard knockdowns where the opponent cannot tech out. What that means is that when 16 scores a hard knockdown the opponent is put in a 50/50 "get fucked" situation.
Phil could easily have gotten a hard knockdown if he did a tiny bit of research or spent any time in the lab. When he got the guy in the corner he could have called an assist and continued the combo. Or he could have used Vanish for 1 bar and also get a hard knockdown. He also uses Gotenks who is a very good assist for 16 because his assist can hit them anywhere on screen and basically keep them in the corner.
3rd edit: why the fuck did he accept a match that was zero bars anyway? Is he that exceptional? I'm being rhetorical. I don't think I've ever seen him use an assist either.
4th edit and I'm done with my autism: he sticks Trunks as a mid character on his team for some reason. Trunks is considered by everyone to be a point character (the first character on your team) because his mixup and footsie game is great. However, he lacks a lot of tools that help in the later game such as not having an air special or super plus his only beam super doesn't do a lot of damage.
16 is a great character no matter where you put him on your team but placing Trunks as a mid character on a team is pretty exceptional.
5th and final autistic edit: at 15:12 Phil say's "It's so stupid because it should be safe to do the throw but he can mash to go through it!" Yeah, that's how throws work in DBZ. You cannot just do a throw/command grab unless it's 16's level 3 grab (that has invincibility but they can jump out of it after they see the super flash). You'd think a former PRO-tournament player would understand that throws lose to normals...
I LIED! 6th edit: at 21:45 lands a ki blast on the opponent but doesn't use Vanish to extend the combo. At 21:57 Phil whines "I d-d-did anti-air and it gave me projectile! OH MY FUCKING GOD DUDE! MAAAAASSSSHHHHH!" Nigga, you can't anti-air with Ki blast! The Ki blast is an entirely separate button. The only way you can kind of anti-air is if you do 236 Ki (which is a solid beam for most characters) but that's all dependent on spacing and where the opponent is. So the guy using Goku still wouldn't have gotten AA'd by 236 Ki because he was too high.

The WiP is up. Nothing groundbreaking but a few fun points.
On DBZ: "Bandai-Namco, ArcSys, whoever you want to blame, they got the money from everyone it's in their pocket, we gotta get more revenue, who cares if the game actually works well online or not..." Sounds like Phil's policy for his Patreon, but it doesn't stop there. Why not attack other streamers? You got it...
"If anyone says otherwise, they're lying to you. It's that simple. Either they have fibre optic internet, which almost no one has, or the online connections are bad and they're lying to you, to get your views. That's a shame. *wet snort* I don't have to do that. And by the way, I'm not a high level tournament player, so I don't have to make excuses for my loss. If I lose, to a legit player that beat the shit out of me, I'll admit it - that happened a couple of times today. It's rarely happened.... sadly they just keep playing the game because it makes them money."
Phil also explained that it can't be his router because he doesn't have this problem with other games. Okay then... Obviously a lot to unpack in here. A bit of projection, a bit of DSP logic, ego for days. If you were watching today, I don't know who these legit players were as Phil certainly kept that to himself.
On the taxes: They're coming due guys, for real, he has to take an evening off to start crunching numbers, and he is probably going to need support. There will be a beg-a-thon likely on Feb 28 (ahead of projections!) in preparation and to try and hit sub goals. Phil has a theory (buckle up) that having a sub counter and tip counter on the screen encourages people to donate, so he'll probably do that. I like how he frames it as though this is a little realization he has just had and isn't a tactic he previously railed against.
He also plans to play PUBG for this, probably. Now you may be thinking 'but I thought Phil would never play a game that he didn't like for money', and to that I would say, who said that you fucking mentally ill nudnik? *SNORT*

Do you want my honest analysis of Phil as a fighting game player? I can tell you're from the FGC like myself, as you add a lot to my community related posts. Phil probably bought Super Turbo, enjoyed the gameplay, and got to a high level like most of us did/tried to. He got his ass kicked a lot, learned everything he could, and put the hours in against players better than him. After his 15 minutes of fame, he tried to sell out and never put that much effort into a fighter again. He had his street cred, he could claim top 8 at EVO, and didn't see a hole in his legacy. Phil doesn't approach the games like you and I do. I'd imagine like myself, you start a new game with the fighter that hyped you up the most pre-release, then work your way around the cast based on how the character's mechanics and buttons fit your comfort zone and play style. Phil, on the other hand, is the guy that goes to TYM, SRK, EventHubs, etc. and forum searches, "Insert Midtier Character BnB Combo Master Thread!," learns a midscreen meterless, a midscreen 1 bar, a super combo, and a meterless corner combo, then scrubs it up in casual, usually taking his only wins off inexperienced zoners. His paint by number approach lets decent players download him in 1-2 rounds, and crush him in a 5+ game set. Why else would a man of his reputation and stature play casuals? To avoid getting shit on by everyone that can play him more than 2 games.
A week or two after release, when forums and discords are filling up with OP tech, he digs through those and tries to gain what advantage he can (like Cyrax in MK9, if you're familiar with NRS games.) He accuses better players than him of doing the things that he's pissed off that he's not better at. He can't win games with his "release month strategy" in any environment other than the immediate post-release of a game. This is the same reason he won't go to Seattle Slug-fest, his local monthly tournament, interact with those players offline, or participate in the NorthWest Majors tournament (it's one of the yearly stops on the fighting game pro-tour. It affects your ranking going into EVO/Fighting game SuperBowl). They're desperate for commentators on their live stream, as they've had me do 20+ hours for their Twitch channel and I personally think I'm a shit commentator. Phil could easily do a better job, and if he could mellow his autism for a minute, they'd love to have him, and it would expose him to thousands more non-ironic fans. He has every opportunity in the world to be a part of a thriving fighting game community that wouldn't have him traveling more than 30 minutes from home.

Wednesday: [The Day Off]
Thursday: Ask The King / PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds
Friday: Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas / Secret of Mana
Saturday: Call of Duty: World War II / Star Wars Battlefront 2
Phil feels that he'll be able to hit 550 subscribers by the end of the month.
Phil is still whining about getting bodied in Dragon Ball FighterZ. He "sees where this is going," assuming that Bamco/ArcSys are greedy and don't care about online latency.
Quote: "The evil empire of coroporate development of games." "I don't have to sit here and play a game I know is bad online."
He doesn't talk about the schedule until ~8:40.
Phil is acting like a petulant spritch because MUH TAXES. "I need to sit down and go through 2017 reciepts. I have to make a big spreadsheet." "A detailed spreadsheet of all of this data for my accountant, and he wants it by the end of February." "It's usually a daunting task to sit down and go through all my shit for the year." "PSN transactions, Xbox transactions, Amazon transactions" "The cost of electricty, the cost of equipment, health care"
If Phil doesn't finish his taxes on Sunday, he will have to cut Monday and/or Tuesday's night stream.
When Phil learns how much he owes in taxes, he will begin organizing a second fundraising drive.
Phil thinks that he may have a subscriber drive on February 28 to do the cooking show and Patron's Choice marathon.
Phil may go back to Yakuza Kiwami in March; he may also begin an anniversary playthrough.

1) I like how Phil is one of those douchebag people who need to photograph all their meals. Somethjng he, no doubt, made fun of at one point.
2) oh joy, a piece of bread for breakfast. What a homemaker she is.

Why does keep saying things are "completely unearned"? I genuinely don't understand his thinking there. Does he think they need his permission to push his shit in? It's like he doesn't understand that he can also do the things his opponents do. He just sticks to his specific way of playing because apparently he's always right.
He legit needs to stop thinking there's some kind of honor online. The point is to KO your opponent. It's really very simple.

Does anyone else feel like the closest he comes to real enthusiasm is his gayass food reviews, though? Like, if he were possibly capable of self reflection, he could maybe develop them into something entertaining (to someone somewhere)? His dead eyes are freaky as fuck, only occasionally flashing a dull, queasy emotion of self pity or fear, but he fucking cares about his junk food. He has so much (useless) knowledge built up over years of eating that shit, it's a shame. A person with a sense of self-deprecating humor could make something of it. Far be it from Phil to see an actual opportunity. :late: &

I want to add a little something to your post that any scrub could have figured out.
At one point Phil was whining that the match up between Android 16 and Teen Gohan was glitched because 16's c.fierce launcher whiffs on him. What this moron doesn't realize is that Teen Gohan and Krillin have incredibly short hitboxes and a launcher from 16 will always whiff if they are just standing there.
This manchild has never understood how hitboxes work.
