POLL: What Buffalo did... Was it wrong?

[Kiss the Missile]

Wait there’s people in here claiming they would have hit him? LOOOL yeah okay, whatever helps you sleep at night tough guy. If anyone is fucking stupid enough to hit someone at an event, have fun being banned from every event and possibly facing charges. Only a grade A bitch would throw hands over a video game at an event.

Wouldn't be over a video game. Dude was bumping, screaming and probably spitting in Scar's face. Hands were def justified there, Scar wasn't the aggresor at all.

If you really come at someone with that energy and aren't ready to throw hands, thats the bitch move.

Buffalo made himself look childish by yelling and flailing his arms like a toddler throwing a tantrum. I agree that Scar started it, especially since he took the cowardly way out by blocking Buffalo on Twitter. Scar’s response was measured considering.

Viscant’s pop-off after the infamous LowTierGod MM is still a model. Viscant handled that with class (until the “take my dick out of your mouth” line), even after LTG threatened physical violence, posted a whole insult video about Viscant’s sex life, and called him a junkie.

The pop off was dumb af, but the reaction of Scar was even dumber.
Instead of making a blahblah hand gesture or showing his back by walking away, he just endured the whole rant. It was two grown men being bitches, rofl.

 

[Sage Leviathan]

No, it wasn't okay.
There's popping off, and then there's provoking violence with aggressive behavior.

Also, LOL "There was history/context to this." What, you mean this?



Buffalo deserves no respect. What a fucking child. His parents should be ashamed because they clearly failed somewhere.

 

[ismael4790]

It was wrong, pathetic, gives this scene a trash image and makes one wonder if underaged should be allowed to participate in these tourneys. In theory, the game is +18, so...

Props to scar for showing he is a true champion keeping that composure.

 

[KiD INsAnitY]

The whole thing was just cringy and weird. He lucky Scar is so chill.... I half expected him to get decked in his teeth for screaming In his face weirdo n aggressive like that.

 

[Fazh]

It was right to pop-off these days. makes FGC wakes-up for some drama

 

[Hellbringer]

Some of u guys act like he was grabbing him by his troath. There was only trashtalk, can't believe u guys think this was way out of line.

 

[Afumba]

He was totally out of line. Doesnt matter what beef you had on twitter or whatever, you went to an event so you have to behave and show respect and sportsmanship.

Acting like an aggressive idiot only shows that you are just a child without manners and sense on how to behave.

If it was my tournament i would have DQ'ed him and CEO should have too.

Respect to Scar for staying calm. Enough other people might have punched him.

 

[sars]

Pop offs happen all the time. Who cares, I actually thought it was hype. Scenes need rivalries like this, keeps things interesting. I respect all pro players, but this was entertaining. Now when they play in the future, the match will be more hype. I think it was a little bit to long, but it was still hype. When did the FGC start hating popoffs

 

[Deleted member 35141]

Those tweets are pretty harmless and yes buffalo was wrong.
Had a long post written out but I'll just put it simple without sounding like a internet tough guy but I was taught way different about respect

 

[The Slaj Jazz]

It was just long

 

[DrFolmer]

Meanwhile in Tekken dudes are breaking each others controllers - this is nothing lmao

 

[ColdSpine]

I would left hook that clown

 

[Enexemander]

If Scar hadn't been running his mouth for no reason, he wouldn't have gotten the (well deserved) pop off.
Both of those boys could learn a lesson from this one.

 

[Enexemander]

Scar is like 5'3. Buffalo is at least a foot taller and a lot heavier.
Weight classes exist for a reason, #1.
#2, Scar would be a monumental idiot to hit the kid. He would be disqualified and possibly barred from a major venue (stupid for a champion), could have been charged with assault (of a minor no less), etc.
There's no good outcome to that.

 

[SHAOLIN]

None of y'all would of survive the MvC2 days.

Also a lot of people on here don't know about the Raptor/Scar stuff.

 

[fr stack]

God damn e sports money has neutered you guys . Someone has a real pop off and all of you squirm in your ergonomic gamer chairs fuck off talk shit and shit happens . Id of just pushed him off stage on reaction

 

[Neferefre]

The pop off was hilarious and so is this thread.

 

[NeonGroovyGator]

Ye it was pretty pathetic.
Popoffs are cringe by nature, that one was just next level.
Can't take a 12yo looking dude screaming like a brat seriously.
Did Scar make unnecessary comments on twitter? Yes. But the only thing Buffalo accomplish was to make sure he was more ridiculous than anything Scar might've said.
Also he calls himself "Daddy" ffs.

 

[Bucketfeet]

It was OK for about a second. Then it was just cringy....

 

[Johnny Based Cage]

Now I didn’t watch any of it yet but this buffalo fellow might be responsible for the biggest face turn in history! Scar just went from one of the worst villains of all time back in the day to now being a straight up beloved champion of the people over the way he handled this situation, unbelievable!

EDIT: Wait someone just informed me these aren’t even characters from the Lion King we’re talking about, nevermind. :/

 

[Wavy]

Same arm motions and everything. Temper tantrum.

 

[NeonGroovyGator]

Ah, and just an important detail: stop commending people for literally not bashing someone's face in.
Nothing anyone says to you makes it acceptable to physically assault someone. That'd get him (rightfully) banned from events.
Having emotions is fine, but it doesn't mean you can express them however you want. That includes not yelling at someone's face two inches away from them (because it's unprofessional and unsportsmanlike) and not assaulting someone (because it's clearly wrong for anyone with a brain and also illegal).
If your way of dealing with anger is hitting people, seek help.

 

[Tertian]

That seemed to cross the thin line between a pop off and a minor mental episode.

Screaming in your opponent's face in a flurry of spit and hair is just embarrassing.
