When Magus commentates, it is more about him than the match. Who he thinks they should be picking. What he thinks they should, would, or will do. It's basically verbal self-fellation.

He's better than Justin Wong at least

Justin's not a good commenator, but you can see just how good his mind is when he's doing it.

By the way, for Capcom Cup, I'll be commentating SFxT with Combofiend and SF4 with James Chen. Magus1234 and Combofiend will be on for Marvel 3.

Yay!

Seriously? Magus for Marvel? We know he's a smart player but he isn't that great as a commentator. UltraDavid, please replace Magus.

[EarlyEarly]

Magus falls in to the Tom Brady line of commentary where he just harps the decisions players make and constantly disagreeing with what they are doing.

He does this, but it's worth it to get in Justin's head.

This is 100% accurate.

hey david do you see yourself getting a lot of work now that youtube is cracking down on youtube game streamers? you're a copyright lawyer right?

 

[ThatCrazyGuy]

I am in the anti Magus commentary camp as well, haha.

I am sure he is a nice/cool guy, just he's weird in a bad way on the mic. Opinions and all that of course.

I don't think any sort of copyright lawyering can fix youtube's general stupidity

lee chung and art is commentary team of the year

Aris looks like a black bearded version of Fusoya.

There are crackheads and there is Happy Medicine.

Who is doing the Capcom Cup OT?

I thought you were gonna do it.

If not, I'd be happy to do it.

 

[Kadey]

I'll do it. I'm already done this year's Christmas greeting.

 

[biosnake20]

They never made the Magneto alt available did they?

Not sure why they didn't just release Magnus without a helmet as an alt. How much work would that take to accomplish?

I like it when Justin just comments on the back and forth smack talk between the characters in the game.

 

[Dahbomb]

LMAO @ that FChamp vs RayRay...

RayRay calling out assists against a Dark Phoenix is among the worst things you could do in the game decision wise.

I'll never understand the Magus hate. One of my personal favorites. Just seems like a chill dude.

This is how I feel about SkiSonic. Well, maybe he is not a favorite, but I don't get the hate either. He is kind of where my neutral button is.

 

["God's Beard!"]

I like Skisonic. He's been there forever.

DJHuoshen or anybody that's too monotonous(gilty) or repeats memes(cameraman) constantly gets a mute.

Same, I find the hate for Ski to be comical, honestly.

Never understood why some don't like Team Rush Hour. Is it because they can immature/unprofessional?

You can't evolve past Gandhi's level. When you can confirm into a dp from the second hit of jump strong alone, you can't get much better.

I don't like ski b/c he brings his hype at the wrong moment. I mean does playing the neutral play really need you to be yelling about it? I think this match kinda explains what I'm talking about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2a_Z3WNWXs

Just being a chill dude isn't enough to make a great commentator.

I don't hate Magus personally, but his commentary ranges from terribad to decent; not enough for me to say he's a *good* commentator. He's gotten better and there's less of the tier-whoring shit now, but Karst's summary of him up there is pretty accurate.

I think it was EVO, but the one time Magus and Yipes commentated showed me the clear difference between a good Marvel commentator and.. well Magus. You had Magus with a bunch of "don't know what he was trying to do there" and "should've could've would've" and you had Yipes on the other end talking about what input they tried and missed, why they chose to make that decision (as opposed to redundantly explaining the consequences which are right in front of you), what advantage the set up would've given if it landed, etc. Intricate knowledge. Yeah not everyone is as knowledgeable as Yipes about the game, but when knowledge is substituted with dismissive remarks, it doesn't really make it very pleasant to listen to.

I'll bet he picks up Sadira.

I watched that and thought it was fine. I don't really find Skis hype to be infectious, but I was not bothered either.

I found nothing wrong with that. I really don't get the hate for ski.
