"I don't have time to learn a new fighting game."

Imagine you're a video game streamer who has 100% control over your own schedule and game selection and you say something like this with a straight face. If he just played a different fighter once a week going forward he'd have the time to learn it. Little things like this are just part of why he's such a shit streamer.

All he does with these old school fighters he loves is whine about them and go on and on about how "dis woodn't work ahffline dood!" So fucking try a different fighter ffs?

What I find funny about this comment is that this idiot's gameplay when it comes to "other" fighting games is utter trash. Three good examples of this(for me anyway) is Injustice 2, Granblue Fantasy Versus and Solcaliber 6. Mister 4th place at EVO literally follows the predictable pattern of choosing a big slow character, learn a easy predictable broken combo and spam it to hell. As we all know anybody decent or adaptable or have the ability to switch up strategies blow him out the water every single time. But once again this is the same idiot who has played SF2ST for about two decades and hasn't learned a damn thing.
 
Okay, a new fighting game comes out. What do people want to see? Who's in the game and what they can do. What does Phil give his audience? I'm going to just do practice one character for an hour and play badly and then quit.

What a shitty game!

This brings a question to my mind: Why doesn't he get in his practice off stream? I mean I know the answer is because he sees anything related to his streaming as a job and as such doesn't touch it when he's not streaming, but still not only would he get more viewers but he might actually perform better if he were practicing "behind the scenes" "as they say".

Yeah, you get the best practice in for fighting games by playing long sets with a player who is as good or better than you. It would be perfect for him to get some practice in "behind the scenes" both online and offline by inviting one of his friends...
Oh wait

Anything that would improve his content is out of the question, especially if it takes place "behind da scenes."

His fans will never get a "okay guys so I've been practicing with [insert character here] in my spare time and now I wanna show you what I've learned" moment from DSP. There is no genuine hype or excitement surrounding the piglet. The most they get is a story about how some asshole didn't wear a mask while he was out shopping, or how someone dunked on his ass during a Twitter argument.

I know this has been said a billion times by now but, he truly is one of the worst streamers in existence. The fact that his fans still give him money, even when they can sift through the debris of his 12 year begacy and see that once upon a time some effort was put into his content and now they're getting the juice at the bottom of the garbage can, and still give him money is cold hard proof that he only attracts dumb kids and austistic mongoloids, with a few ironic fans here and there.

Once upon a time DSP served his minions food that was at least cooked in a pot or an oven, now he serves them half-microwaved TV dinners covered in cat hair and they still gobble it down with a drooling smile and empty their pockets.

DSP HATES video games while simultaneously pretending to represent "da reeyal gamuhs" as if the average gamer has an autism schedule and is traumatized by the mere mention of playing a game in their free time, and his fans actually buy into his whole "da only hahnest real gamer dropping truth bombs on shills." Fucking bizarro land.

On top of what everyone else has had to say about this, there is the fact that Phil doesn't even really enjoy Super Turbo enough these days to play it for his own amusement, so there is simply no such thing as him even unintentionally improving.

You have to keep in mind, the modicum of knowledge and skill he displays today is a depleted form of that which he attained a very long time ago. In the early 2000s, Phil legit had pro fighting game aspirations, and that is the only reason fighting games are a major fixture in his streaming. He asserts that he doesn't have any training to do, he's already pro level, which is bullshit, so the real explanation is that he's lazy and doesn't like even fighting games enough to work at doing better at them. Why else do you think he lies so much about why he loses?

Basically, there is nothing about Phil today that will ever be better tomorrow, because he no longer has anything he cares to legit get good at. Even his e-begging is getting lazier.

Let's not forget that even for ancient, "solved" games like Super Turbo there's always some faggots STILL discovering new tech and strategies for it. He thinks the game was in the some type of cryostasis for 15 years or some shit and it's the same game with the same meta as he remembers. Not to mention, the new players have all tutorials for all big fighting games, no matter how new or old, right at their fingertips on the internet. Back in Dave's day you had to be part of some autistic "pro" group where they'd share new tech or tech that was already discovered in Japan since those woodwind instrument players made sure even back then that when someone discovered new tech that it was spread far and wide, same for Koreans but Koreans are more into 3D fighters like Tekken. In the US scene you often also had to be part of some gay clique which gatekept new players by hogging frame data or tech for themselves so newfags can't get in on their competition.

Like I mentioned earlier, nowadays that's not a problem at all thanks to the internet, and players which were considered "pro" back in the day would be mid-level players today. But the big difference also is that a lot of the pro players back in the day kept up with the changes in the meta, trained hard and that's why they're still pro-level players. On the other hand Dave won 4th place on a fluke once and decided that that's it and that he can keep resting on his laurels for the rest of eternity.
 
A lack of change is like anything else, in that the degree of it is what matters. Daigo and Justin Wong are still at it today, so they haven't changed there, though the latter has a family while the former does not. But what matters is that they don't play the exact same way that they did back when, say, EVO Moment #37 happened. They wouldn't survive if they did.

That is ultimately what ruins any potential Phil might otherwise have: he takes a lack of change to the absolute extreme.
 
I don't care if Phil is good or bad at a new fighting game. I just don't want to see him play as Sub-Zero for four hours when there are twenty other characters to choose from.
 
For those who have missed it, here you can see the epic match between Dave and the Japanese player who broke DSP's gear and his will in Dark Souls Remastered today when he encountered him as the Old Monk boss. Including both perspectives as well as overlaying the audio.
EDIT:
Here's another version of a video that's a shorter since it combines both of their perspectives by mrhuth

You guys may laugh at DSP here, but he was the best NA player in the room that night.

Or the "Where did the backstab come from???? When you can clearly see that the japanese player run up to him, turned around and hit the sweet spot for the backstab. Phil was a punching bag who got beat up for giggles.
 
So I'll just leave this here. It's pretty late, considering this shit happened two weeks ago, mostly because I kept wavering on whether or not I should even bother. I'm not familiar with video editing, this was all done with free software I found, and I repeatedly told myself that this wasn't worth the effort of making when there are others who are a lot better at it. But the moment when this pro gamer just walked right up to an enemy sniper and camped right next to him to stare out of the same window just made me laugh everytime I remembered it, and so I said "fuck it" and went ahead with creating this.
