It may not always affect things in a big way but that sort of thing will always affect things in some way. It's just human nature. If it doesn't cause actions, at the very least it will affect thoughts which will potentially affect actions in ways the person in question doesn't even realize.
Nobody in the FGC has much money. We're all poverty, and tournament winnings are a zero-sum game.
My google translate is rusty, but they seem to only use the PS3 as an example. Looking pretty bad for the 360 ATM.
I haven't read this rant but I don't see anything wrong with that. The FGC is more than just those two games. And as far as streamers go, hell yea more people should step up their streaming game and show the dedication/work that Spooky has. Would be good for Spooky too as it would be a lot of weight off his shoulders.
To be fair (and I say this from experience), if you stream at most of these events you may as well be streaming off of a potato. If you're lucky, they'll also give you a turnip and a radish. Internet availability at most venues is somewhere between spotty and just outright awful, and no one in the FGC has that MLG money to bring in satellite trucks to supplement that. People will run off of 4G hotspots which can work, but I've also seen cell relays get slammed so hard they stop working, so that's always a bit sketchy.
Streaming sucks. It's a ton of work and you have to constantly monitor everything in case someone trips over a cord or Twitch decides to give your bandwidth to some LoL streamer or someone blasts a jet engine into the mic or the online DRM fails or a million other things to go wrong, and for what? To get shit on all weekend by a bunch of trolls? Never mind actually getting to do anything at the event. Most people don't want or need that in their life. There's a reason more streamers haven't stepped up. It actually isn't that hard to get set up at an event (it's not like there's a glut of streamers), but good luck making enough money to pay for the bandwidth on a 4G card.
I can't remember the last time PL actually made a coherent point. He's one of those players that has million dollar hands and a ten cent head.
I couldn't even chat in my own channel.
The little things can be satisfying.
And if you're involved in your regional scene then enough people can get your back when things go awry. KiT is really volunteer based and decentralized. Pretty much everything Marvel related, from streams to setups to bracket runners, is sourced out of our small Alabama group. Having all these top players around for what might as well be one of our locals is pretty fun.
Gif is just showcasing being able to cancel mp into air hurricane kick. And the EX hurricane kick itself is like a lot better.
Canceling EX Demon Flip into EX fireball.
Canceling EX hooligan into air cannon spike.
