If you think watching fighting games are lame you either:
1) Never have watched fighting game streams before
2) Think watching competitive gaming in general is lame
Really though, fighting game streams are awesome, and nothing like watching MLG or shit like that which is boring as fuck as everyone is a black hole for personality. From the outside looking in, it probably looks like who can mash the hardest but it's 90% mental mindgames. The shit talking, the drama/storylines, and oh god
the salt.
THE SALT.
There's always something going on that feeds into the games and commentary to make it entertaining. Whether it's
Chris Hu's preferences on women, Noel going to jail for going back to his hotel room after a tournament and assaulting another player he caught with his ex, LI Joe almost getting sponsored by Brazzers,
IM NOT A REAL N***A, JaHa reading salty GAFers posts in a whiny nerd voice,
anything Triforce,
shots money matches gone wrong,
people getting their moms to cut promos for money matches etc. The level and kind of fuckery is very akin to hip-hop actually.
