Let's see how this partnership goes. FGC is giving MLG another shot.

Sounds more like MLG is getting desperate and is trying to leech off EVO by organizing a sideshow. Which would have been unthinkable months ago when according to their supporters MLG would have meant more EVOs a year. But hopefully this means that the MLG guys will actually get to attend a FGC event and find out what makes the FGC tick.
 
Mike Z and Ultradavid really only play on style no matter what game.

They always go with the big damage option, and never the flash. At first I figure Mike probably play solo to go easy on people then it hit me "oh wait this guy use to play juggernaut in marvel 2."

Boobs.

And pretending to "stick it to the big companies," I guess.

Fuck style. That's the main reason I always hated watching Marn play.

LOL I vary from game to game. Marvel 2 I played Santhrax which was not a pretty team like MSP. In Marvel 3 I jumped on Zero day one... so yea eventually went with the style path.

Been like that for many other games like Alpha 2 to SF4 as well.

These guys are okay, but the Runback really suffers from the lack of Tasty Steve now because of the oversaturation of commentary from........

I know I totally agree with you I've been bitching / ranting for the last few weeks.


I know levelup reads Gaf too. Dammit JIMMY WE ARE NOT TROLLING! We are being dead serious =( Please bring back Steve and tell ETR "We appreciate your courage of putting yourself out there and being on the mic, but we just need to take another route."

It's funny because AJ has said in chat "well Ultradavid and Chen took some time before people liked them."

Well fuck, how long is it going to take before ETR stops being so damn annoying? Him and Skullgirls are keeping me from watching right now.
 
Who in the world is this ETR guy that people keep talking about? Is he that Asian dude that was commentating for Skullgirls?

The bald white dude who commentates Marvel (literally all of Marvel) during Levelup's The Runback on Thursdays...

Anyways, the black guy who was commentating earlier was funny. What's his name?

It might be a good game too.

Yeah, the game is fun as fuck to play. I understand why people don't like it though, its a bit hard to understand especially if you're an 09'er like professor beef. The general pace of the game and inputting of commands feels a little "off" in some ways. I think people well versed in Arcsys games take to it better.

Eh yea I rolled my eyes when I read that from AJ.

1st James Chen been around since the 90's and David been around since like 03-05. Both have been playing fighting games for a long time, understand fighting games and the concepts behind it (important to commentary), and know many players and somewhat of their background (for filler situations during dead-air).

Their struggle at first was because they didn't have any chemistry and they didn't know how to transition from one to the other (Ex: talking over each other, or not knowing when to shut up).

ETR fails at everything from game knowledge, to telling jokes during dead air, to not knowing when to shut the fuck up, to not knowing when to stop yelling Jesus Christ the list goes on and on.

So because I don't like Skullgirls, I'm an "09'er." That's specious reasoning, but ok.
 
chriskun said:
Is there a reason why Tasty Steve doesn't commentate anymore??? was he too raw?
Click to expand...

I believe one of the commentators last week at The Runback said he was out of town, in St. Louis or something.

Hopefully not permanently...

EDIT:
Professor Beef said:
According to his Twitter, he's been out of state for a little while but he got back to CA recently. Not sure why he's not there today. Probably just didn't feel like going.
Click to expand...

Oh cool...hopefully he shows up tomorrow.
 
Not surprising since Level Up streamed the SBO qualifiers at Round One arcade last year.

I wonder how Round One is doing lately since the FGC isn't there anymore. That place looked pretty cool. Valle and Choi can totally hook up Watson with that qualifying spot.

Lets go KENO!!!

Edit: LOL KENO with the counter pick, and Valle with the counter counter pick.

Edit #2: Keno wins... but not with Balrog =(
 
damn, keno... whatever happened to keno anyways, he just dropped off the face of the earth. He's not with that one girl anymore is he?

Theresa? Yea I think they broke up long ass time ago. He showed up like two weeks ago saying he works at a Pho place.... I guess he still got that Asian fever.

They are working with the Live on 3 guys to help host/produce the stream at the Sunday after party, MLG has no involvement in that or Levelup as far as I know.

nah, Scoots is gonna ESPORTS the hell out of the scene until no one can remember if anything else was ever there before.

Pretty sure they were talking about people not playing Marvel post Evo, not a new Marvel

i see. because of the SF 25th anniversary tourney.

I know it's not SF, but not including UMVC3 is fucking stupid. Capcom is always off the mark with this shit. It really shouldn't be a special SF 25th anniversary-- they should be supporting the tourney scene like this all the time. If they were smart, that's what they'd do.

But no, they probably let some fucking guy in an office in tokyo design a worldwide tournament off the top of his ass, with no input from anybody who actually knows how these things should go down. And still, no pot bonus at EVO announced.

RARRRHGGGGGHhh (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻
 
So did Spooky announced anything last night?
