Check my edit above. It means downfromtherafters is not necessarily tied to darksydephil@hotmail.com, anyone could register an account to any email address, and it will prompt 'let's get you in' even if the email verification has not been completed.

Meerkat signed up under a bogus email, never verified it, and when he went back, he got the same 'welcome back' message.

Note - this does NOT mean DSP has registered it. I went ahead and registered the 'nonregisteredaccount@hotmail.com' at which point an email verification is sent, then went back to login and received the same prompt. So it's quite possible some gay-ops are happening to make it look like he's double dipping on the champions.

You're right, because this is the same problem with the old hotmail account.

There was some debate on here with some people concluding that the hotmail was actually signed by DSP because of the supposed purge of unverified accounts, (i.e: some unverified accounts were purged out of their system, meaning that when trying to sign up on those, the "Welcome Back" message would not prompt, while DSP's did, meaning it wasn't purged and therefore verified). In this post TJ explains it, although I myself am skeptical.

Just to have a visual of what would happen, even if you don't verify, then reloading the page:

 
The new Street Beggar gacha launches today, is Phail gonna get hooked on it? WWE Champs seems to be entering the late stage of a mobile game and could be shut down at any moment... are we gonna have to change our memes from 6 star Hulksters to 6 star Zangiefs?

Imagine he loses to someone with a Japanese user name, has an Evo (like 'Nam) flashback, and has a seizure or something.
 
The SF gacha is pretty bad. It's an auto battler where you have minimal control over your team. I'll try to download it on my PC and see if I can maybe sniff out Phil if he joins, but this is a low effort gacha by all accounts. I don't see fighting game fans moving off of KOF: All Stars for this one.

Edit: Whales already out in full force, with a player already completing the standard campaign that goes to Stage 6-40. I am on 2-13 and it is already getting tough with what the game supplies you for free at this point. I am unable to looks up/search players yet but I think once I have access to the battle arena that will change.

Edit2: You are able to change your in game username at will. First time is free, second time costs 200 of in game currency. A lot of players already, with plenty of whales at level 100 too. Hopefully no Alogs use a DSP user name.

While I don't like to double post I can no longer edit my previous post/can't edit it more than twice.

While I have no updates on the whereabouts of our favorite gin and gacha addict, I think it is still worth it to give overall updates on the game, to sort of pinpoint areas that would draw him in.

The player base at this moment is quite large, and searching for individual players require a code, but there are ways to still see some of the top players, none of whom I have seen raise any flags.

The game is really boring, more so than other gachas, but like most at launch, it is overly generous in the beginning with pulls and rewards to keep you somewhat engaged. You will run out of needed items to power up your characters quickly though, resulting in boring grinding or obviously, spending.

There are A LOT of things to spend on and I mean a lot. Keep in mind I am not spending a dime on this game (nor have I spent on any gacha game in 6-7 years). Some of the offers are "good", like $100 that gives you daily 10x pulls for about a month. I saw the offer pop up once but can't seem to find it anymore.

Character growth is similar to every other gacha I have played. Draw a good character, use items and gear to power him up. Upgrade your gear which requires other items/currency. Pull duplicates of said character to "awaken" them which powers them up further. In Dokkan Battle for example, you need to pull the same character 5 times before he can be fully awakened. From what I gather the character tiers will work like this:

A Guile + A Guile= A+ Guile
A+ Guile + 2 random As of the same element= S Guile
S Guile + A+ Guile= S+ Guile
SS Guile + any S+ of the same element= SSS Guile

The method for "boss characters" like Gouken and Bison are different though, as those only accept duplicates, no random characters will work. It would take 8 pulls of Bison to have a SSS Bison

Max characters levels say 120, but I haven't seen anyone with a character that high yet, Highest I have seen is 112, and I have seen a SSS Guile from a rank 33 user (User name: Goose Guild: XCEPTION.) The game doesn't require but does obviously promote having all the characters, because certain team combinations will grant your party a buff during battle. There are quite a few A tier characters you can pull.

Campain stages seem to go up to 9-40 as I just saw someone complete that level. Other side content for items like "Supreme Fist" has floors, I am on Floor 13, just saw someone clear Floor 200. Keep in mind this game is a day old.

Let us get to prices for pulls! Pulls cost 2700 gems for a 10x. To date from the game, I have 7677 gems. Prices for gems are as follows (all first purchases have double gems):

$2.99=300
$9.99= 680
$19.99=1280
$29.99=1980
$49.99= 3280
$99.99= 6480 gems

So spending $100 only gives you two 10x pulls.

You can currently pull 40 A tier characters. Most sit at a 0.162% draw rate, rarer characters are 0.016% like Bison. Overall chance of a A tier character on a 10x is 4.61%

Let's say I want a single Grade A character, and I can do 100 pulls. The chances I get that precious oily Zangief is around 80%, or around $400 in pulls.

Now all of this moot until we located the elusive Begging Fiend, but should he ever be discovered, this information should serve us well.

I will continue to update with information I find useful but I don't know how much longer I will waste my time with this boring shit.

Nice! This game sounds like just the thing to play after a long hard night of streaming. Just imagine how good it would feel to watch your SS+ Giefster crush a pathetic low tier scrub while knocking back a few gin and sprites. And the best part is, no lag or dropped inputs! The game knows you're a winner so your win rate is 99% plus.

I only have little to add but yeah this game is on the worst end of gachas for f2p players. I'm not too gacha savvy since I've only played 3 ever in my life as a free player, but I never thought of having to need to pretty much get duplicates of the same shit you already have to make them stronger, and you NEED to do it because levels stop mattering because those cap out. So you eventually NEED to do pulls.

The missions they have you do turn out easy at first, then from mission 9 to mission 10 for example, the power requirement will double. So you either wait a day or two for your idle exp to level up, or you pay up. So eventually you can't just idle at all because your level capped, and wait for pity gems to do pulls for duplicates to boost your characters, but you get garbage half the time.

Game was alright for a day or two and then you get met with shit and you either: suck it up and wait, pay up, or just drop it. I imagine Phil went the pay up route, and the thing is you buy some of the shit in the cash shop to get over a hump, but you're going to run into another one down the road again, so pay up again.
 
The TOUGH HARDHITTING QUESTIONS:

Do you waste your money? No

Are you spending money on WWE champions? No

Are you a bad guy? No

Sounds like a nice man. Don't know why these internet nerds hate him.

...........

Burnellology is a complex and deep discipline. Unless someone puts in serious work to do their research and is a competent experienced hardnosed interviewer not just some lightweight creme puff who hosts social gatherings over zoom trapping phil isn't going to be a walk in the park. All an ignorant interviewer can do is ask questions and hear back answers and have no idea whether they are complete nonsense or not. If the event does go. I hope his initial amateurism of stumbling toward an interview of a person he somehow managed to know nothing about is just some lame act, and he takes this seriously and really hits the books and the audience can participate. Dave isn't a criminal mastermind and as we all know is dumb as a rock in many ways but posesses a certain pig cunning and has spent his entire life manipulating dumb and oblivious people. He will chew up and spit out someone who underestimates him and comes incompetently prepared.

I dont want to share too many ideas that would help phil but a easy test to see if he's playing this street fighter gacha would be to use some terms/phrases in his chat that someone who plays would instantly recognize and see his reactions. If he leans them or goes clown mode playing up how he has no idea what the person is talking about, you know he's playing.

It's not the math bit that normal people have a problem with, unlike Phil most people can do basic math.

Normal people have a real problem believing that somebody would spend even $1K on a wrassel wrassel bejeweeld game. So him spending more than what his waife earns doing part time each year for 5 years doesn't make it easier to believe.

(In order to not Derich up the main thread, specific reply on this topic goes here) Then, take it down to a granular level: he spends on average $60 on gambling for sweatyman.jpgs a day, for approaching a decade straight now. :stress:

(:_(I'm afraid that actual mature adults will still find that 100% insane....honestly I find it insane, that is one brand new game every day for 5 years. The more you think about it the worse it gets.

The few times I've told people outside the vortex about Philbert, I usually wait a fair bit before bringing up his softcore gay game spending, so they are a bit more prepared and even then it can quickly turn into a powerpoint.

Yeah, I have to agree. $60 per day, every day, 365 days per year, actually sounds more insane to me. I think you have to be a little bit dented if large amounts become less significant or more reasonable to you if you seperate them into smaller chunks. That's actually how you go bankrupt while drowning in consumer debt.

$100k is an insane amount to spend on sweaty men jpegs and divvying it up into smaller time units doesn't make it any less so.

Edit: This is also a pet peeve of mine when it comes to financial advice: "Oh you only need to save x money per day to make it big after y years!" No shit sherlock! If the only thing holding you back from being rich is failing to realize that saved (or spent) money adds up, you deserve to be poor.

A gatcha game based on the only fighting game he was slightly decent at years ago that allows him to win based on how much money he throws at it? Games like that are bait for people like him. It'll indulge his fantasy of actually being good on SF while also sating his need to actually win at something.

I predict more begging and the tips goal increasing to compensate, but DSP definitely gonna jump on that shit.

After spending more time on the game, it really puts you in the mindset of Phil.

It's a gacha based off a fighting game, so it's already competitive. There are people on day 3 that are insane levels. The amount you have to spend on this game to be competitive is fuckin' insane.

I'm going through looking at other peoples characters and how easy they are breezing through the game and it's really making me feel like shit. You really need to pay up and I'm thinking how great it must be to be able to afford this type of junk by poorly streaming videogames daily to fund this type of shit.

Imagine being Phil and the temptation to open up that wallet just to get up to everyones level, or else you're a loser.

Gacha really does target the weak minded and easily addicted. I have played gacha for years, and as I have said real early on in this thread, I spent in the very beginning. $20 all time on Dokkan Battle and probably $100-$200 all time on Marvel Puzzle Quest (that's when I was competitive and needed PVP shields, the game has gotten out of hand in the last few years and requires massive whaling to stay competitive in PVP).

It is easy to just jump on any gacha game for 10-20 minutes and knock out some dailies, maybe play through an event while taking a dump. They can easily be fun time killers if you don't have an addictive nature and need to be the best.

Seeing insane players 2 days into a new gacha is so common. I saw it on Ni No Kuni Cross World and Dragon Quest Tact. First week players were maxed on everything possible, which probably costed them easily a few thousand. No different in this game. It is temporary satisfaction. Yea it is excited doing pulls, and it's a small rush when you pull that featured unit, but the rush dies within seconds when the realization that you don't have the currency and items to power up that shiny new character. Then the cycle starts over again.

And there is the sole purpose on why Dave blew $100K on WWE Champions. Him dropping 100K on a mobile game makes him feel like he's finally a winner at something. Winning the game of life? No. To him, real life fucking sucks and he's rather hide from it. Phil is known to do a LOT of projecting - yeah, no shit, Sherlock you're saying - but, imagine the insecurity one must have to go "Yeah, I have a mid-size condo that I fooled some idiot banker into giving me money for it." "Yeah, I lied on my bankruptcy forms about having $5,000 in business expenses.", but this makes me feel like a winner.

He dropped that cash because deep down inside, he knows he's a fucking loser, however, in WWE Champions, he's a winner. No one can come REMOTELY close without dropping $100K to get to his level. Imagine having a 99.6% win rate in anything! Even the HARDEST competitors out there know that the game isn't fun anymore if the tables are tilted in your favor. The HARDEST competitors out there are ALWAYS looking for the next challenge to overcome, as they feel that they have "something to prove". Since Phil is scared and runs from real life, this is his Mr. Olympia trophy, this is his Vince Lombardi trophy, this is his Larry O'Brien trophy, this is his World Cup, etc...You get the point.

In his mind, he doesn't care about "winning" at life. Making a final payment on your mortgage and getting the deed to your house? Nah. Having a family to pass on your legacy? Fuck that. Making memories with the people you love? Nope! All he cares about is making sure he stays on top on whatever gacha is next in line. Because in gacha, he's a winner. He's not that loser that got bullied in high school, he's not that loser that got denied from a Ivy League school because he isn't a basketball American, he's not a loser that was fired from almost every job he's ever had, no! In gacha, he's a winner. As long as the money keeps coming in to support that addiction to NOT make him feel like a loser, that's all that matters.

If he gets addicted to Street Fighter gacha, which he will, he'll do whatever it takes to get to the top and will drop huge amounts of cash to stay at the top. It'll be just a matter of time.
