[Generic_Detractor2021]

Are there any games DSP is actually good at? Every video I've seen of him playing anything looks like he's a mediocre at best player.

Monopoly. Go to jail! Do not collect $200! Bankrupt!

it's iike pottery. After all the false claims and trolling it once again comes down to Phil's own retardation that will bite him in the ass.

 

[LostMy1stAccount]

Earlier on LSB's illegal restream, someone pointed out that it looked like DSP was using a turbo setting to spam out moves in Street Fighter.

It really didn't sound like the usual mashing noise when the punches and kicks were flying out at warp speed, so there could be something to it. DSP got a cheer asking about turbo and of course denied it.

Personally I think it sounds just lazy enough to be true.

I disagree.
There is a slight tapping sound. It was somewhat difficult to hear it on LSB's stream, but you can hear it on Dave's vid.

EDIT: even better around 25:58

That new emote of his just further illustrates the fact that his entire existence is based upon trolling him and him being a fucking joke to everyone.

As mentioned earlier, his chat is just a non stop flood of tards spamming memes about Phil like "T pose!" "Ban!" "Clown mode!!!1one" etc.

Nobody is watching his gameplay. Nobody is talking him seriously. Even most of his whales just tip him so they can be a big deal among all his loser faggot regulars.

Then you have the 1 or 2 real fans like Derich and King Michael who are legitimately handicapped.

 

[TheGreatWhiteNorth]

This new emote is just a literal lack of shame that Phil inspects any and all paypigs that dare bother the pig with their meager offerings, how even the mods don't get second-hand embarrasement from Phil's blatant greed is impressive.

It's hard to be embarrassed when your job is shit.

cdndublo7 was their name. I almost forgot Dhalsim had a teleport back in ST because phil literally never uses it.

Edit: Watching back his 10 minute rant, he says "I don't do a simple pattern to win." Oh, really phil?
Vega: Wall dive, slide kick, low stab, roll.
Dhalsim: Yoga fire, yoga fire, slide kick
DeeJay: MAX OUT. MAX OUT.

His Vega play especially is just complete pattern play bullshit. You can look up his 2k5 Evo match against Tokido who also played Vega and it's staggering how much of a difference of skill there was where Dave just put on autopilot and used Vega's bullshit OP pattern while Tokido at least banged 2 braincells together while playing.

The loss to Ryu was especially funny with his salty "thats not how you're SUPPOSED to play Ryu! Go watch any top tier super turbo player and they don't rush down as Ryu!"

He was hitting the copium hard in the last 30 minutes.

Yup, he thinks that if someone doesn't play a character a certain way they're doing it "wrong" (read: if you don't use any established pattern he doesn't know what to do). Besides, he must be aware of the fact that he absolutely cannot deal with rushdown players and never was able to, that playstyle in particular makes him seethe because it fucks up his basic bitch pattern play.

EDIT: Oh yeah, also forgot his "I don't do a simple pattern" post-loss cope was after the Ryu match. He got dumpstered by the Ryu precisely BECAUSE he saw right through his basic bitch Vega pattern that he's been doing for 15+ years now.

Piggy Boy's greed has hit a fever pitch. He has now made a tip audit emote.

And you're not gonna thank your friends at KiwiFarms and detractor Youtube channels for the emote idea, Dave? Greed is MASSIVELY strong!

[OverlySensitive]

Personally I think being addicted to the point where you devote all your waking hours to arranging imaginary blocks is pretty lame as far as addictions go...somewhere above gatcha junkies. Cokeheads have more dignity. But I will admit you can build some amazing structures.

I like watching people build things and do minute tasks. I'm kind of surprised I never bothered watching any minecraft stuff but I might try, I am one of those weirdo's who likes to watch other people "work" and not because im judging your ability I just enjoy watching tasks be completed.

I cant really critique people wasting time building game world stuff because its at least creative and I think I max my time clocks a lot in games because if you give me a customizable option for anything really I'm just going to waste my every waking second on it cause I have nothing better to do and its fun for me.

I don't get the gacha games though. Paying to win something never appealed to me since I enjoy busywork more or less and when you can just pay for the goal I don't get appealed so I don't really understand being addicted to paying for "ease" of a win in a game. Its not even legit gambling with a potential payout so there's nothing to win, no advantage to get.

Are there any games DSP is actually good at? Every video I've seen of him playing anything looks like he's a mediocre at best player.

Not really. At his best, Phil was a scrub flowchart junkie in Superturbo, which often saw him creamed by better players soon as his rank went up. By ducking ranked and fighting only Derichs he can farm some wins, but it's like fighting your mom in a first to 10. Kinda pointless. Phil is better than the worst fighting game players and often keeps a positive win ratio though. For a measure of good, Phil's better at fighting games that total casuals and people who started yesterday. Still not REALLY good though.

He generally lacks good eye-hand coordination, timing skills, situational awareness and reaction time to make any action or driving game work. When he plays those he's generally unable to produce good gunplay. Center mass in gta or one single, very slow headshot in red dead and that's yer lot. Frequently unable to see obstacles coming up on the road as well. Same thing applies in modern shooters, Phil does not headshot on purpose and his tactics never really evolve past camp a spot or rush a spot without a thought. Phil has never once learned spawn spots or any advanced tactics. He's unable to handle even semi-advanced things like jump rushing or dropshots.

In action rpgs, Phil will read a guide and overlevel. He'll usually run into some snags earlier on, but you won't see him struggle in the lategame. Noteworthy that he never misses a single Estus upgrade in Dark Souls, for example. So by the end his preferred tactic of mash R1 at the thing and facetank whatever they throw at him works beautifully. Because he usually has the damage, from reading the guide on which were the cheesiest weapons, and the health to survive anything.

Phil's "good" at turn based rpgs in the sense that he skims guides. And as we all know, the way those work make it literally impossible to fuck up with a guide. Even then, he rigurously sticks to normal playthroughs. Beating an rpg by figuring it out carries some merit. Beating it with a guide is a given. Even with a guide, Phil absolutely refuses to do bonus bosses or post game content, even on normal. He sure as hell isn't doing it in Yakuza, he didn't do it in Persona, and he didn't do it even in Fractured But Whole, which was as beginner friendly as it got. Any time the RPG ramps up the challenge slightly, Phil doesn't trust himself enough to go through with it.

Ever since he started stalling and reading guides, Phil has killed his appeal as a streamer. Which was mostly being a joke. Thing is, while he's boring as fuck nowadays, he's also still a toxic, greasy beggar. So people just watch for the sideshow now. Really, Phil is trying very hard to whitewash his reputation, but he just doesn't grasp the basic problem of why it's not working.

That sounds like a challenge. Is that garbage he plays on Friday nights cross platform for PC... and cheap? I've barely played any fighting games in 4 decades but totally confident I could beat him with mouse and keyboard at any of them. He has no reflexes, can't deal with spam attacks and never changes tactics when he's losing in a match. He makes Low Tier God look like a Low Tier God.

 

[TheGoutburglar]

Definitely a detractor who got too close and became a retard.

@SauceRyuKen Phil will never will be legit good at any game because he refuses to go against his own nature, and it's in his nature to seek situations where he can win but it will be luck. There is a reason he gets turned on by gambling, by the act of tossing dice, it's the best way for him to be who he is and still sometimes be a winner. Same goes for fighting randoms online, he knows he will lose sometimes but it's better than playing offline, on whatever version he accepts as being the "real game", where he has no excuses to fall back on when he loses, which he knows he will do.

I think Phil may have legit identity issues, in that he is terrified of not knowing who he is anymore if he changes anything about himself. It would explain why sabotages his own dreams by refusing to adapt, put in more effort, and stop lying about what happened.

Or he's just a spoiled entitled fuck that he insists on getting his dreams in spite of being a stupid lazy lying asshole.

Good analysis.

Whenever Phil has to play a game that does not easily allow him to either overlevel or cheese it, e.g. Darkest Dungeon, he will usually just drop the game (like he did with DD).

It's weird to think that Phil legitimately believes himself to be a "good gamer". I know some people who play games just 4fun who are insanely better than Phil at most games. And most gamer streamers are like that. Even those cute anime girl vtubers, some of them are extremely good at FPS and also are very good at other kinds of games. All while actually having engaging conversations with their chats.

I honestly can't really see what Phil's non-ironic fans see in Phil's streams that they consider good enough to warrant hundreds of dollars being sent to him, but it most certainly is not his gaming skill.

That looks like PayPal's copyrighted logo. Would be an awful shame if Superhound knew about it.

He has no reflexes, can't deal with spam attacks and never changes tactics when he's losing in a match. He makes Low Tier God look like a Low Tier God.

He plays it on PS4 or 5, but his version is PS4 for sure. It must be cheap by now, but buying a past generation console isn't worth it, most likely. There is a PC version but it has no crossplay. I'm sure this is part of why Phil avoids Fightcade like the plague, because he knows he'd get 10 or 20 actually competent snipers training their sights on his pudgy ass every time he fired it up.

Yeah, he really makes every other fighting game streamer look top tier just with his stuff. Being realistic I would say he's a bit below Max Dood's power level if they were to fight something modern like SFV. Max Dood already isn't really THAT good, although he's undeniably above average. LTG's just completely out of Phil's league, credit where credit's due. He's LTG and he's a salty bitch, but he sits comfortably at Diamond with multiple accounts, and I doubt Phil could push into Platinum if he gave it his all. I'm pretty sure you could take him in Alpha as long as you remember to break his flowchart grab attempts. Super Turbo, as long as you learn how to outflowchart him, you'd be good. Making pigroach bacon isn't really that difficult, he was defenseless as fuck in Team Fortress 2 last time he stuck his butt out for a prompt smacking... Big part of why he always tries to avoid doing so.

EDIT: Yeah, no wonder he gave up on Darkest Dungeon immediately. Phil may be able to take down games that are difficult in the modern sense, which is "It'll take you a couple tries", like Dark Souls. But it's rather telling that despite growing up in the era of arcades and token takers, he's never beaten a game where the question is "Can you even beat this at all" like Metal Slug, Streets Of Rage, Final Fight, etcetera. Mind you, you CAN cheese Darkest Dungeon, I beat it on Stygian on my first go, but it definitely takes a lot of thinking to find the busted stuff. Like you wouldn't really think to just tailor a party for a specific dungeon, or to do something that's retarded on paper like sending four Crusaders to smack some skeletons, but that's exactly the type of strategy the game expects out of you. Once you find stuff like The Wall or the double Highwayman frontline spamming Point Blank Shot is when the game starts becoming a little easier, but even then, a single crit can send everything tumbling down. Well, The Wall is mostly unbeatable no matter what, (Barring Prophet bossfights) but you still need to farm the guys up and make sure they survive long enough to become badasses. And to beat the final dungeon, you straight up need to farm up FOUR whole totally badass parties... And Stygian has a time limit.

That sort of thing just isn't something Phil can do at all. I doubt he could even beat it on normal. I just hope he's forced to do it as a viewers' choice eventually, it'd be hilarious to watch him squirm and cry bullshit when the blatantly unfair stuff happens. Of course, unlikely to ever happen since Phil just hates providing any entertainment now.

 

[Big Brown Schlub]

For a measure of good, Phil's better at fighting games that total casuals and people who started yesterday. Still not REALLY good though.

He used to be a good player at the time, but now he thinks that just resting on his laurels for 15 years makes him as good as he was and that he's still "got it" against skilled younger players or players as old as him that kept playing the damn game regularly for 15 years. I mean for fuck's sake he plays the game for 2 hours once a week at best, that's not how you keep yourself from getting rusty.

There is a reason he gets turned on by gambling, by the act of tossing dice, it's the best way for him to be who he is and still sometimes be a winner.

One thing I find VERY telling is when he says "the game gave him x" or "the game refused to give me x" when playing any multiplayer game, be it a fighter like SF or a shooter like CoD. He thinks that his autistic Socratic world of forms ideal of "the game" is this RNG that sometimes gives you the wrong move or refuses to give you a kill or gives the opponent the correct move or a kill like it's a fucking slot machine. He has equated getting a headshot in CoD to be purely luck-based like pulling a 5 star Hogan in WWE Champions. That way he can shift the blame off his shitty gameplay where he aims at the guy's legs and hipfires in CoD or his spastic button mashing which causes him to drop moves in SF.

It's weird to think that Phil legitimately believes himself to be a "good gamer". I know some people who play games just 4fun who are insanely better than Phil at most games. And most gamer streamers are like that. Even those cute anime girl vtubers, some of them are extremely good at FPS and also are very good at other kinds of games. All while actually having engaging conversations with their chats.

Out of all the friends and acquaintances I have that are just casual gamers literally all of them are better gamers than him except for two. Those two also don't have tardwranglers who handhold them through games in the form of stream chat so I'd argue that just the fact that they beat the games with minimum outside help alone makes them better gamers than Dave.

Being realistic I would say he's a bit below Max Dood's power level if they were to fight something modern like SFV. Max Dood already isn't really THAT good, although he's undeniably above average

Maximilian would destroy him purely because he plays a wide variety of fighting games and he plays fighting games regularly unlike Dave. He isn't a great player by any stretch, but purely through putting the work into playing the games at regular intervals he'd absolutely body Dave.

 

[TheGoutburglar]

This is all to say nothing of the fact that because Phil has relied upon guides and having his hand held by the chat, a lot of his playthroughs are not legit completions. He didn't go it alone on any of From Software's games, even during his so-called "redemption" runs.

This is why I have no problem calling him the World's Worst Gamer. As bad as his videos often are in terms of making him look incompetent, if he didn't have so much help, it would be MUCH worse, and rage-quits would be even more numerous.

 

[Prince Lotor]

Phil really shit on marvel vs capcom 3 as a competitive game tonight and said it lacked longevity because it didn’t last as long as marvel vs capcom 2.

marvel vs capcom 2 only lasted as long as it did because the they didn’t make marvel 3...and the only reason marvel 3 isn’t as mainstream is because infinite came out and capcom stopped supporting it, along with fighterz being new and supported in the tournament scene.

marvel 3 while flawed is still an incredibly deep game...I literally can’t begin to comprehend what this baboon is saying by implying it didn’t have longevity. The game just had a big tournament last year. He’s literally lying out his ass about a game he barely knows a thing about “after 5 years people just didn’t care about it” absolute lie

I hate when this dude tries to talk about fighting games. He legit has only ever care about sf2 and actively hates every other type of fighting game, yet he pretends like he’s some big brain who just chooses not to play them or is so enlightened to their flaws when what we really know is his baboon brain could never play marvel vs capcom 3 at anything close to the highest level

I think the reality is he will shit on any other fighter because he knows ST the most, and reasons he won't play anything new. He knows matchups enough and all he fights are scrubs. Refuses to even learn Third Strike better when it's part of the collection. And honestly I'm no FG pro, but ST looks absolutely way easier to learn. Less characters, and the mechanics in this game are barebones compared to the newer games, and combos are at max, 3 hits.

Think he just plays this junk for his quick ego and dopamine fix. Because he absolutely acts like an obnoxious faggot when he wins against scrubs with his bullshit match-up knowledge and when he turns into a sore loser when the guy would do the same shit to him.

Like he literally complained about the basic mechanics of all 3v3 fighters. He didn’t like getting hit and losing a character, bruh that shit still happened in mvc2 and still happens in fighterz. By his logic no team fighter has longevity, he just sounds like a scrub lol.

If you remember, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 was the game Phil went to EVO 2005 to compete in. It's the game he thought he was good enough at to win at an international tournament. Then he showed up and heard many of the top players were boycotting the Street Fighter tournament and there were maybe things about that version Phil could exploit to do well, so he autistically played that version 12 to 14 hours for several days.

This is old man Phil bitching about the new game that he isn't good at because he has delusions of grandeur about his abilities in an older version.
He was saying the exact same shit about MvC3 10 fucking years ago.
Timestamped @ 15m15s

Mid-June 2014 Phil had a get-together with some FGC friends before he moved, of course he made sure to film and monetize 80% of it, and he still considers himself a "high level MvC2 player".
