Phil's already locked out 95% of games due to his own ineptitude and the fact that he cannot stomach sexualized women. It would be easier to list what games he can play without being an absolute spastic.

Were that the case I would hotly anticipate his Re-Re-Re-Re-Re-(Reeeeeee)demption Run of the Life is Strange games and the Oeuvre of David Cage, Chevalier of the Legion of Honor.

I like DarkViper but for someone who has over 4,000 hours in a game he sure likes blaming the game when he should know better.
 
Frank Hassle was on Rakieta Law on Monday. They mostly talked about Boogie2988 but they also got a bit into our guy Phil. Frank seems to know quite a bit of DSP lore...

fuck, the only time i see rekieta is when he gets posted in this thread, and compared to a year ago during the bankruptcy saga, this guy looks fucking horrible. you can tell he's a full blown alcoholic now. he should really quit youtube and try to get his life together

And that's why him calling people beating him with basic shit scrubs always makes me laugh, top irony and he doesn't even realize how hard he's projecting.

When you say:
"The only reason they're beating me is because they're using cheap tactics."
Your next logical follow up question should be:
"How can I beat those cheap tactics?"
But for Phil, there's no learning flow to games, if he doesn't understand it day 1 or someone doesn't hold his hand and teach him then he's lost, and that's why he'll be an eternal scrub at everything he plays. I promise you the only reason he got good at ST was because of Howard and Rambo teaching him shit and holding his hand.

DSP has convinced himself that those "cheap tactics" literally have no counters whatsoever, so his defense mechanism of "nothing he could do" kicks in.

Yes, I fully believe that fighting games would program mid-tier level tactics that are completely unblockable and uncounterable. That seems like a good way to balance the game.

I think he was always that bad, he just got a new camera that really shows it.

Went onto pigpiggo to see if I could clip when Dave said that using him as a case study in idiot proofing a game was illegal. I think there might be something wrong since the last result I got for the word "tip" was May 14th.

Also saw that Dave is somewhat on a downward trend for using the word "tip". He peaked in April 2020 and then there was a spike in January 2021.

Waitress dont even use the word TIP 1000 times a month. I doubt even strippers do?

I would put DSP below the Tank Abbott tier in that analogy.

For those that don't know, Tank Abbott was basically the archetype of the "bar room brawler" back then. In video game terms, a glass cannon. If he connected, you would be unconscious, and Tank had some spectcular knockouts and to be fair a good chin. But against anyone with any type of skill/training, he would get taken down or just kept at distance and Tank had no idea what to do. He started his career 8-6 and then lost 9 of his last 11 fights, the most notable one being a specatular 43 second fight with Kimbo Slice.

I would put DSP below that tier because Tank really did have a charisma and a look about him, and if he connected you would be sent to the Shadow Realm. He just couldn't connect against anyone actually good.

I only bring this up because I wanted to talk about Tank and very rarely get a chance to do so.

Slightly off topic but if Tank wasnt such a lazy fuck who liked booze (Who else do we know like this?) he would have been a great fighter. He wrestled in college and was above average, if he could have put it all together (for the time) he would have been great. Loved listening to him on Sherdog years ago, he had some crazy stories.

Yeah that's exactly what he does. I've talked about this after every VF stream but he has this weird idea of how 3D fighting games are "properly played" where in this pigger's head "good fundamentals" somehow involve finding powerful yet slow single hits rather than mostly using quick, safe moves, which are a relatively low risk way to set up your slower, strong moves and launchers. If you want an even bigger frame of reference you can look at his Tekken TIHYDPs. In both Tag 2 and 7 he showcases this complete fundamental misunderstanding of how 3D fighters are played. Whenever he gets above the Derich ranks and graduates to levels of play where people at least grasp the most basic mechanics of the game he gets demolished and then accuses the opponents of using scrubby easily abused shit that takes no skill. I mean just think about it for a second, imagine you're playing some dude and you notice that he always pushes buttons when he's at a heavy disadvantage, wouldn't you just throw out a launcher every single time to just get this scrub outta here ASAP and hopefully get matched with someone who is actually around your level of skill? I sure as shit would and whenever Phil is on the receiving end of that beating he thinks that the other player is just spamming that move randomly without thinking about it, he doesn't recognize that he's more predictable than the sunrise and sunset.

What I noticed yesterday was, first of all, Phil saying that "look! He sidesteps every single move! This is bullshit!". Like, yeah buddy it's in the fucking game... Maybe learn how to use it? It's insanity to complain about a player that understands the mechanics better, has a bigger moveset and STILL say that he's not better than you. C'mon now...

Also, some players simply sandbagged him. They just baited his moves (usually trying to going aggressive and backing out repeatedly) and wait until he misses a medium punch or a low sweep, to just punish him, taking half of his HP bar. It was like some adults playing with a 5 year old boy... That was kinda sad, tbh.

And this is coming from someone that barely understands fighting games... VF5 punishes you 10x harder than SF2T, for example, but he doesn't get it... And he's the guy playing the fucking game, ffs.

That's the funniest part, you can get away with not mastering Roman Cancels until you get to the ladder where the above-average players play. That's what made his excuses for ducking GG dumb. He says that he'll need to spend time learning the basic mechanics of the game when he has to do the same for VF because it's unlike any other 3D fighter at its core. Then he says that GG is a complex fighting game series so he doesn't want to "waste his time" trying to learn it while VF is widely known as being the hardest 3D fighter series to get into and one of the hardest fighters in general to get into.

Lets not forget that Dave actually has played some ArcSys Fighters in the past.
He played Persona 4 Arena, FighterZ, Granblue Fantasy VS and most importantly Blazblue.
Guilty Gear is just a slightly more complex Blazblue.

He could actually start up GG Strive and after spending 20 minutes in the tutorial mode go online and play on a casual level.
So basically the same approach he did with VF5.

Heck, I would argue that Dave would do better after 5 hours of Guilty Gear than 10 hours of VF5 because he always was more of a 2D guy than 3D.
 
Yeah, VF was a foretold tragedy, really. He got to dunk on scrubs for pretty long. He actually lost to a commendably adaptable Lion playing Derich (8th Dan and he dropped Phil with some effort. Phil had a good 80 matches of experience on him.) and everyone in the later matches of the stream just torn him to shreds. I like that he struggled so hard against the Chadliest of the cast, Brad Burns.

For all his complaints about the game, he's just playing it wrong. He raged at pointless shit, like crying in anger RANDOM THROW!!! when that 8 matches Sarah player used a throw punish on his scrubby ass. Most of the times he said counterhit were still wrong. He uses these huge, staggeringly slow moves with no setup then complains when the other player stuffs them, because they're actually using good neutral moves. It seemed like his whole gameplan was for the other player to put forth a "legit" match, so he could scrub under their safe highs with the elbow into sweep forever. Some of his rivals were just not fucking having it, opting instead to jump over it for huge launchers every time. Then Phil would complain about a mid-style-floaty-move. By the way, he kept spamming Shun's cartwheel kick, a mid-style-floaty-move that led to a combo for nearly 40% HP even if the last kick didn't hit, and I feel like Phil's stuff was unoptimized as usual. One of his favorite mixups was low elbow (A move that pushes away and retreats, creating a gap, though clearly leaving Shun minus) into mule kick (A REALLY short range mid launcher that would often just painfully whiff right in the opponent's face)

And to be honest his choice of Shun (I get it, he's a drunk, Phil's an alcoholic) was pretty fucking stupid. He didn't even use most of Shun's good moves, he had trouble getting that downback "quick" knockdown kick for some ungodly reason, and he completely ignored his stances and his drink system, which would be the main point of playing Shun at all. Other than that, Phil's just not creative enough to play a Drunken Master in any game. They're always this confusing offense archetype and Phil couldn't confuse anyone but Derichs who struggle to find their way out of a straight hallway. I still feel like he would have been a much happier pig holding musclebound Wolf between his gouty hands or even responsible BBC owner Jeffry. Taka would have been a legit good choice, but I think something in his head precludes him from playing fat guys. Not to mention Taka is a bit king of hatey, being an unceremonious sumo wrestler who loves to win and hates to lose. Plus, he's got an insanely dangerous, easy to keep going offense. Perfect choice for him, but he'll never even try it. I feel like his choice of Shun was half proving us wrong for the clear Wolf call, and half not liking how throws worked in VF. Choosing a character you like is always half the battle on these types of game. Even tierwhoring is actually worse than just playing something you legitimately enjoy.

Once he was out of Derich ranks, he was out for the count with no hope of recovery. Almost everyone took him apart last stream. It's a great disaster, and I heavily reccomend it. One of the few times Phil was actually entertaining.

A choice quote from DSP tonight:

[After getting his shit pushed in by Wolf] "Unearned! Nothing here is earned. He's just- all risky mov- risk risk risk risk but it's all safe cause it's online I can't do shit."

He starts by complaining that everything his opponent does is risky. The obvious retort being: 'why not just punish him?' Even his gin addled brain realized how stupid that sounded so he pivoted mid rant to the evergreen "ahnline kahmbo" excuse... for a game he's never played offline. Brilliant.

I think there's an even better part of that rant, just after he says that. I can't be fucked to re-watch it again to get the exact quote, but he complains about the other guy using a rising attack that he has no answer for. I'm fucking trash at fighting games, but I'm able to recognize patterns. Yeah, the guy keeps reking you using the same move. Either find an answer for it in your kit, or don't open yourself up to the fucking move dipshit. How does that translate into anything but a you problem if you keep falling for it?

I bet Phil doesn’t even make his “custom, gourmet, fan requested, original, authentic, nutritious, chill, hearty, interactive, sugary tomato sauce” today.

Big Pig Boy Phil probably just wanted to sit in his chair drinking, jacking, and reading kiwi farms.
