Haha, same. Except our version of Dan is the one who owned the Dreamcast, so we couldn't never really stop playing with him.

Especially the "Nu-uh THIS way I like to play is the only way REAL gamers play the game!" thing was driving me INSANE.
It's actually hard to watch cause that guy was so infuriating. (yet really nice whenever we didn't play Smash or Mario Kart)

 

[Cyros]

I bet Dan could beat 1 or 2 people in his pools at EVO. That bombastica reminded me of the Gandhi/FSP match from SSF4AE. One guy is more technically proficient on paper, but is constantly getting caught by random play from the other.

That was good fun, and it looks like UltraDavid/James Chen did an episode about it.

I only made it 10 minutes into the SC video. Watching Jason, who is supposedly good at Fighting games, try repeatedly to block attacks that are unblockable (the first couple of times? Sure, but it's not like Dan wasn't spamming the same attack over and over and over again), and then complaining "What do I do? Am I supposed to doge?"

You could try something that has worked in every fighting game in existence, HITTING THEM when they are in some crazy charge up state, but that is probably too complicated or something.

I'm thinking it didn't help that Jason was playing characters he didn't know the normals for.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

I thought Jason was supposed to be the fighting game editor.

Dan is the adult equivalent of a little shit. I would have totally stopped playing with him as a kid lol.

 

[avengers23]

Jason Shit-tier, more like.

 

[Glitchesarecool]

It's not like Dan was wrestling the controller away from Jason. Jason could have picked whatever the hell he wanted.

That said, Dan was being pretty shitty.

 

[avengers23]

They really should send Dan to Evo to compete. Dan, Jason, Iron Galaxy people could create some great content.

 

[BUNTING1243]

Dan is the adult equivalent of a little shit. I would have totally stopped playing with him as a kid lol.

I loved when Jason asked if he actually had friends in college.

 

[bigwinnerx]

Jason's just jobbing for Dan.

 

[Myggen]

I wouldn't say he was shitty, I've seen that kind of trolling countless times when playing local multiplayer.

 

[Data West]

It's amazing how we can hide all crappy behavior under the guise of 'trolling' nowadays.

 

[Xater]

I wouldn't say he was shitty, I've seen that kind of trolling countless times when playing local multiplayer.

Around these parts people that act like that get punched.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Jason and Dan were just flirting. If Jason was not man he would have babies by now. Sexy

 

[alr1ght]

Dan should cover EVO.

 

[BanGy.nz]

I want to watch Jason crush Dan at Street Fighter IV.

 

[TheMrPliskin]

I want to watch Jason crush Dan at Street Fighter IV.

Yup, Jason needs to return the favour with a street fighter bombastica.

I thought El Fuerte was an original SF4 character

 

[Typographenia]

Oh wow, this mixlr video is amazing.

As soon as the cartoons thing came up it went full bonkers.

The escalation kinda reminds of Rick Santorum or whatever fielding questions and nuking charleston came up.

 

[TheMadMan007]

Man, I would hate to play Dan in fighting games. He was ok on Mortal Kombat on UPF but this soul caliber video is making me want to turn it off.

 

[DOBERMAN INC]

Dan is the Floyd Mayweather of Soul Calibur, calms down after the initial 10-15 minutes though.

 

[Hot Coldman]

Ideally, a good fighting game should make it easy for people to shut down button mashers.

 

[jgminto]

Yep, Dan is the worst kind of fighting game player.

 

[tchocky]

I just want to see Brad play SC against Dan to see Brads reaction to the trolling.

 

[nckillthegrimace]

Ideally, a good fighting game should make it easy for people to shut down button mashers.

Oh, like in Smash Bros.

Kenny Omega makes Youtube videos now? Fuck yeah I'm watching that!

 

[mnz]

Soul Calibur actually has a review on the site: http://www.giantbomb.com/reviews/soulcalibur-review/1900-34/

 

[SatelliteOfLove]

Things we see but are not learning:

Dan trolls and it works.

Voldo dong juggling is still the best fighting game move ever.

 

[Jamie OD]

Fire Dan hire Kenny Omega, a wrestling otaku who is a pro-tier e-sports Street Fighter player

Also the Omega mode in Ultra SF4 is named after him.

 

[Typographenia]

I apologize, Jason, but I couldn't help laughing at your expense.

 

[Keyser Soze]

Dan was having fun playing video games. Nothing more.

You are debating someone enjoying video games.at the same level as highly important things that happen in our world.

You need to stop this.

 

[mnz]

I'm firmly with Dan this time. If you win in fighting games, you get to talk shit. Them's the rules.

 

[wenis]

Basically. This isn't even chalked up to "weekend GB thread", this is just petty.

 

[Rainmaker]

When I play fighting games I play with HONOR. I shake my opponents hand and recite my favorite paragraph from The Art of War. After I win I give my opponent a rose for their hard efforts. This isn't about fun. This is about going head-to-head with the modern day warriors of the digital arena. If you don't play EEEEEXACTLY like this you should feel ashamed. You have brought many dark clouds upon my favorite sport. I'm a likable person.

 

[Typographenia]

Drew and Dan inspire me during boring meetings.

 

[Kelas]

that is awesome

 

[Hot Coldman]

Oh, like in Smash Bros.

it's like infinitely more accurate in Smash

button mashing = forfeiting

 

[Owlowiscious]

Jeff was so excited about Mario Maker, too. I don't think we should tell him.

 

[Wunder]

Haha this Soul Calibur Bombastica is great

 

[TheMrPliskin]

Jeff was so excited about Mario Maker, too. I don't think we should tell him.

If anything this should make him more excited, he can make levels devoted to dumping Yoshi into pits.

 

[Hot Coldman]

You can't have a Mario World level editor without Yoshi! Now we need the cape.

 

[OdysseusVA]

Jason is bad at video games
