I swear everytime that gets reposted it loses more and more quality
yea I feel like it's a little too... timid in production.
It's OK, but I think this one is king right now. Works much better at it's job. The SF one is too long.

in the future, human anthropologists will only be able to reconstruct the early 21st century through SBaHF tier jpegs
I know who she is but what am I missing here
Event seems hella small.
the sf one is an extended recut of the original
Ha, didn't notice that. I feel ashamed ('._.)
I wonder if all of their events are like this.

Yes and no.
I always wanna participate in these threads, but I usually attend EVO so it becomes pointless.
I'm hoping I hit EVO next year- though depends on a few things. This year was the first time budget+time matched, but nothing I wanted to play this year.
SFV at least is a fresh start and should be less setplay oriented for the first year.

Ultra ps4 anyone?
More of a rhetorical one. Embrace the eeeeeeeeeeeee-sports.
Speaking of fighting game commentary, I don't know how many people saw the leaked commentary notes for WWE commentators a while back (and the Reddit thread for it), but I haven't seen it mentioned here yet. Most of the advise actually seems reasonable and applicable, and would probably be useful for anyone looking to do FGC commentary.

She did commentary with Aris once.
Whats your psn?
Pretty sure you can't.
Missed this. Good read, though I hope it is less moblike than his plans for a million people to show up in the auditorium as that might reinforce their perspective.

I saw this one twitter. I really thought the notes were really cool and gave some insight on how they do things.

I haven't seen a time announcement. They never start on time anyway.
Some of it, some of it would turn you into Michael Cole. I'd rather have Jessica Nigri and the one dude who didn't know what a hadoken was commentating Evo finals than Michael Cole.
(To be fair, Jessica Nigri's actual FGC commentary was actually pretty good for someone who didn't know a lot about it, commentating is harder than it looks- I sound like Terry Gordy doing a Badstreet promo when I'm commentating)
I do think pool play and finals play require a different set of commentator skill. In pool play you often have to drive the action with your personality, whereas finals play speaks for itself.
yea no.... This list just exposes Vince McMahon's control-freakish nature when it comes to commentary because WWE commentary is heavily criticized currently because it is very bad..
IF YOU ARE AN FGC COMMENTATOR, DO NOT FOLLOW THIS LIST

I was just assuming it would start at around 5 or 6pm. But this doesn't look good:
From Yipes FB page.
Scouring it even more, Sam mentions that the tourney should start around 4pm PT.

Plus there was absolutely minimal promotion.
Seemed like Yipes/Persia/Spooky are just mailing this one in.

when does curleh start?
Spooky isn't actually there to stream it. I can't remember who he said, but someone else is just running his channel for it

Sonic Fox vs PL aka the only reason to watch ESL
that is no where near is good as V's right now
The sign of a good song or sound track in a game, to me is when you are in an entirely different time and mood and the song has now dictated what time and mood it is. You don't feel like playing the game you hear it and you like " ...I kinda wanna play [insert game here]" right now. I don't get that from yagata, this isn't the only factor of a good track, but if your track does that its a good sign
Not only does V do that, its like " Hey you remember early 2000's late 90's angst rock, I hope you like it guess what the hell time it is!" and you are like " I didn't know I was still about that life "

So this is how Curley dies. Not with a bang, but a whimper.
SonicFox about to face Perfect Legend (for the first time in MKX?) on the MKX ESL League Finals:

I hope SonicFox breaks one off in PL.
There was a moment some time around or just before they started doing the Battle Royales where promotion just went away completely for Curlehs. From streams, websites, everything. They started becoming more frequent, tacked onto existing events, etc. Lost a bit of it's luster IMO, even though it's almost always a good time. I would like it if it became more of an annual thing to build up to.

it's okay, PL is just saving tech for EVO, the tournament that actually matters
Yeah I think the super frequent Battle Royales tacked onto whatever major hurt the "brand" a little bit. Definitely stopped seeming like something special
