I've enjoyed Kitana Primes commentary the last few events I've watched. Also Tom Brady, Ultra david, 16 bit and pig as well
That's why I don't have an issue with you so much though. You have knowledge within the scene, but I don't think you'd dispute that you have gaps in that knowledge that some of these other people wouldn't. I wouldn't have a problem at all with someone like you teaming up with someone like 16bit. The issue here is moreso about having two commentators outside our scene, while other games regularly have someone who specializes in that game.
I'm giving an example of how someone who hasn't spent years closely following the NRS scene might not know things about players/characters beyond what's common knowledge and who the regular placers are. David definitely does his research and takes an interest in NRS games more than other general FG commentators, but you're missing the point
Someone start conjuring that magic nauuuu!!!
Gotta disagree here. I definitely get up as everything progresses and you can feel the change from the first match in Top 8 and Grand Finals.
One thing I implore you to work on is telling back stories and histories of competitors before a match. Explain to people why they should care, don't fabricate but educate (did not mean to make that rhyme like green eggs n ham )
it's true that i don't care about the bs tym drama, but i do make sure to know as many players as i can irl. i know that i'm better known for street fighter, but i've been playing and commentating in the nrs scene since mk9 in 2011, so at this point i'm pretty well familiar with a lot of people.
You do realize what you're asking me to do with this one, right?
The point is whack because David hits all the things you want in a commentator but you keep saying he's missing things which isn't true at all.
agreed, except that those guys from the American ESL are probably the worst casters I have ever heard.
He commentated at UFGT10 with 16Bit. For some reason them commentating PPJ versus Filipino Man is ingrained in my Injustice days memory lol. That match up was super hypr tho.
If you get the ok form the event guys, and they do not send you over.. start a gofund me page... I bet that will get you there in no short order.
oh yeah BigD is pretty awesome too
haha i'm not talking about tym drama though. i mean like histories of lesser-known or underrated players who we could see rise up to top 8, match histories between players who might fight, things like that. that's what i'm saying, like, you're a great commentator and i don't think anyone would have an issue with you in the booth. the issue here is getting at least one of our own people in there too. someone like 16bit, kitana prime, or ketchup/mustard teaming with someone like you could help fill in gaps on knowledge or information you may be missing while being entertaining commentators in their own rights
That would be one HYPE tournament
He even admitted he's lacking a lot of game knowledge right now. And like I said, I'm not saying kick David out, I'm saying put at least one of our guys in whether it's with him or with another one of our guys. If you're not a specialist for a community you're going to be missing information that can help viewers get interested in a match.
