My vote.
he was only good at the royal rumble exhibition.
but on tournament weekend, all of his commentary flaws were quite noticeable.
capcom really needs to find another commentator to switch up their default choice of ultradavid, james chen and skisonic.

no more awful than usual. LMAO @ that long-ass pause when he forgot what a "round" was
"and that's gonna be enough to take...
*a minute passes*
*a hour passes*
*many suns set in the west*
*species are born into creation, scared and crying in the sun. Over time, the specifies grows and evolves, changing into forms unrecognizable from its initial inception. Eventually, the species dies out, giving way to the new in the ever-lasting circle of life*

Everything I heard today was fine. He had a few Chen-isms but nothing too bad.

Never understood that one either, you could do way way worse than either of them.
UltraDavid just sets the bar super high I guess.
I smell some Game of Thrones here...
No one is at the level of ski.
I like Chen, dunno why but I do.
I can't say I had a big problem with any of the commentators I heard this weekend. Improvements could always be made but overall t'was fine
C'mon son, I KNOW you know better than this. Did you forget a /s at the end?

the real king of fighters
He did bring his worst game while commentating with Ski yesterday, some of it stuck until today.
Also, this was the first Xrd top 8 I've seen with excellent commentary, Tasty Steve is the man.

I think this is the year EVO gets to 200K on Sunday.
Edit: James Chen wasn't that bad today, and I'm surprised you're complaining about him when the commentary for MKX was terrible. Whomever was commentating with UltraDavid during MKX constantly dropped sentences, didn't follow up on UltraDavid's comments, and didn't provide much insights for MKX. He also couldn't get people interested in Tanya mirrors, or didn't even try.
Say what you will about James Chen, at least the guy is passionate about commentating and tries his best.

Voting for this.
No he's been losing a lot. I like how he embraces being the bad guy and he's the only Japanese who plays the IWBTG games.
this is the only choice, enzo.

He's not any better at that than other commentators. Ultrachen for USF4 isn't superior to UltraGodspeed for MKX.
Also, the issue isn't about wanting a Yipes style commentator over what he's providing. It's that his explanations aren't always appropriate. More than in game explanations, he tries to conjure player stories that are just broad assumptions on his part. X player hates this because this happened two weeks ago. It almost sounds like gossip.
Ski and David aren't right 100 percent of the time, but they don't take these leaps like James does.
I used to think that but tbh I'm not even sure he's the best bridge anymore.
He's not as bad as Ski tho

Rog used to be around all the time, but then he "retired"/got a job so we haven't seen him much. He's still great tho, as we saw.
I mean the new ski as in people hating on him just to hate on him. I actually think Ski is absolutely fine as a commentator as well. The Ski hate is a meme at this point.

So who had the best entrance this weekend, Dieminion or KBrad?

James Chen is fine, he's just a poor hype man that still tries to get hype more often than he should
To be honest DMS is the only mute-worthy awful commentator that's been on the mic for a major lately, in general everyone is way better than they used to be, even Ski.

No beer for KBrad, so Dieminion.
I think I figured out why I'm not the biggest fan of James Chen' commentating. He takes too much time to get his thoughts across, during which a whole lot of stuff could have happened. All the while he continues to talk and drowns out the other commentator, usually UltraDavid. I actually don't mind listening to James run solo on commentary and he can hold it pretty well. When he's part of a pair though, I just get the feeling like they're both in contention for who gets to speak
