i found tasteless better than gootecks. gootecks rambles on a little 2 long. xian did a 26 combo and bootecks talked the whole way through while tasteless instincts kicked in to mention it
John Pierce gootecks might be rambling, but atleast he gives an accurate insight here and there. Tasteless is just stating the obvious - gen did 16 hit combo..the combos are long...gen uses ultra.. they are playing on training stage which someone picked.. DUH, we can see that, its not even worth mentioning.
It's so laughable how hard they're trying to make competitive fighting games a mainstream thing. When it comes down to it, most people who aren't in to it already will think it's "for nerds"; and that fact won't change no matter how much douchebaggery, play-it-cool commentary, basics-rehashing and CGI transitions they add. On the flip side though, I like that they're doing little interviews with the players and whatnot, that's one trend I hope continues. It's nice to see that they're actually humans & not just androids that show up at tournaments every year to obliterate the competition.
I don't think its laughable. I think its great. Esports and the like have come along way since their infancy. Yes they don't compare to popularity to "mainstream" sports and events but given the trends and movement towards technology I'd say it will become a mainstream reality. Maybe not in 10 years, maybe not in 20 years but the light is at the end of the tunnel.
What I find funny is that they're trying to push current day games with current day sportscast formula. I agree that at some point in the future, virtual sports will probably a big part of mainstream society; but they're trying to push it far too prematurely and they just don't know how. That's what I'm laughing at
What i find funny is people complaining about the positive progression of a popular competitive gaming event. For those that do keep up or watch this stuff , its a step in the correct direction . Its much better than watching a stream from the basement of a rented hotel. For how much money is spent and won for these events this is what it should look like.
That's if you can call a mainstream-targeting mass-appeal morphing soul-ejected shell of its former self "positive progression". The scene will evolve, to be sure; but you should keep in mind that the community will evolve along with it. Change is absolute, it can bring positive differences, but it can also bring negative differences; and in this case, aiming mainstream will grow the scene, but the community won't be like it is today. I don't know about you, but the thought of the FGC going from a bunch of chill people who are really passionate about fighting games to a mainstream whore filled with all the shallow & uninspiring bullshit that accompanies things of its ilk (see: football, baseball, every spectator sport that has exploded with popularity) just kind of sucks. I wish that the world you imagine filled with wholly pure progression was real, good sir.
Very refreshing way to broadcast this for people who may not be familiar with it. One really talkative commentator with an "Awe-struck" companion. It's a brilliant setup for newer FGC viewers.
I actually think Gootecks and Tasteless are a good combo for commentating. Gootecks has far more knowledge, but I think Tasteless has clear commmentary experience and has the unique perspective of someone inexperienced at sf4. That is an important perspective when you are trying to attract an audience of both sf4 fans and future e-sports fans that don't know a lot about street fighter, which this show is obviously trying to do. For example, Tasteless can get hype about a combo that looks good on the screen even if many viewers know it is not difficult or uncommon. Meanwhile, Gootecks can provide the real knowledge and make sure it's pointed out when someone does something subtle that requires real skill.
man shut up, he is putting in a solid effort and over time he will improve with his knowledge and understanding of the game, have some respect you streamboar
toasted guy A solid effort? Are you kidding me? This isn't a fucking tutorial, this is a serious show that ESGN has put money into. If Tasteless knew that he didn't know the game he shouldn't have bullshitted his way into commentating this series. It's a joke to me solely because of him ruining the audio. Tasteless gets no respect from me when he asks what normals were performed and whether it was an overhead. Tasteless' commentary is truly tasteless.
Gootecks was a better commentator for experienced players AND new spectators Gootecks was explaining why 2 bars is important for FADC Gootecks was explaining how stun works Gootecks talked about normals Tasteless just agreed and followed everything he said and yes, l know Tasteless is unfamiliar w the game but instead of faking it like he somewhat knew what he was talking bout, example when Gen's Ultra did not work on a jump in Cammy the 2nd time and he goes 'l was use to seeing that work' when we all know he just saw it happen once earlier he should just ask questions to Gootecks on what is going on as the inexperienced Street Fighter player he is to talk for the new comers first checking out Street Fighter If he asks questions about things he doesnt know, it'll answer the same questions that most people who are unfamiliar w Street Fighter will be asking him just faking it like he knows the game when he doesnt is just irritating If Tasteless reads this, sorry for coming off harsh. l think if you just ask questions to Gootecks of 'who has the better advantage here and why?' 'why did that work on this character and not that character?' 'what is this player thinking since he's up against that character?' and have Gootecks answer - it'll give people a MUCH better understanding of the game
Wow, these are really well put together. It's surprising that they couldn't find a better commentator pair. No disrespect, but between gootecks' long explanations and tasteless' ignorance about the mechanics, it was more enjoyable to watch it on mute.
Wow that's pretty tight; I wonder how it would have been if Alioune hadn't trained for Xian beforehand. 34:28 Mike Ross and Tasteless what are you doing lol...
Loving the matches and enthusiasm from gootecks and tasteless but I feel that a little more technical explanation would help people get more interested. (Looking at you Gootecks) You don't need to explain frametraps, plinks etc but constant phrases like "now he has meter, here comes the mixup, nice footsies" explain why the meter is important and what the difference between ex and normal moves are, what a mixup is, not just "it opens you up" but that it forces you to react or guess high, low, left,right or grab. shenanigans? what are they.... Lovin the show but don't dumb it down so much. "nice overhead block" is good, "nice overhead block, an attack that you can only block while standing forcing you out of the comfort zone of crouch blocking" is not that hard to grasp. if you don't play fighting games you wouldn't know why it was a "nice block" because you wouldn't know you could only block it high. Lookin forward to the rest of the episodes.
It's not a problem if one of the commentators is less knowledgeable if he sticks to a supporting role and giving the beginners point of view. It doesn't matter if he gets better and more knowledgeable in SF, he will never be up to par unless he switches to full time fighting games only, so he should just refrain from talking about the intricacies of the game altogether. As it stands however it's just annoying to listen to.
I think people completely miss the point of this. #1 It's not a traditional tournament. It's a GAME SHOW even down to spinning a wheel. Complaining that a non-tourney doesn't use tourney rules is like moaning that Wheel of Fortune doesn't have double elimination brackets with pools. You're completely missing the point. #2 This is trying to draw in new people. Why do you think they have a clip explaining what a fighting game even is in the beginning? No, they are never going to have host that speaks exclusively in frame data and in language that only the super hardcore of Street Fighter or fighting game fans could ever hope to understand. That's not the point. That's clearly not the point. That's obviously not the point. Why do you think Gootecks takes the time to explain every term he's using. It's not a mistake or an accident. Plus, I doubt they could get others even if they wanted to. The FGC rejects pretty much anyone not from within their small group that wants to do something involving fighting games. Other commentators probably wouldn't have participated for that reason alone.
all the hate on tasteless is coming from people that are already part of the FGC. My girlfriend does not follow it and she was actually interested in all the fight night streams because it was way easer to folllow than more technical commentary. mass appeal- so far so good
I've been following the and been part of the FGC since vanilla SF 4, and I think he does well. It's obvious that he doesn't have the in dept knowledge Gootecks has, but over all he's doing good.
I think the format for this wasn't good. It kind of gets less hype the longer it goes on because there is so much less money to be won. I think a traditional Tournament style bracket with a whatever prizepool would have been more interesting. The biggest factor in being able to win lots of money here was lucknig out into being spun on the wheel early on.
Namezzzzzzz I didn't watch the Starcraft, but the hearthstone works nothing like this. They spin the wheel yes, but it's two teams fighting to build to a bigger prize pool Ther was no situation in hearthstone where it could be two people competing to see who wins some tiny ass amount of money like 100 or whatever the lowest possible prize here in streetfighter is.
Yeah, few positives. Money is invested in something I like. I can see the potential that the FGC has to grow as a viable money maker. Nice stage set up and polished look to it all. And I like the layout of the score keeping. That being said, there were a few areas of improvement/questions. Who exactly is the demo? Commentary should be decided by experts in the community, not sponsors looking for reassurance. Why is it so polished yet miss completely on what makes the FGC up in the first place? What other formats can be explored to make it a bit more exciting/engaging?
bottles of urine everywhere but I'm glad that people are actually trying to pump production value and originality into something like an 8-man invitational
im not to bothered by the choice of commentators. Though if they wanted the most respected sf4 commentation duo they should've flown it Ultradavid and james chen. But I like tasteless, shame he is not experienced. Gootecks is good but I don't feel he handles well "on his own"
SCOOPARCADE and he is playing with the joystick of the pad !!! at least, i think in Vs fighting games, the crosspad is better (even if the crosspad on Xbox controllers sucks)
For those who talk crap about tasteles as at commentary wth I only heard him talk & gootecks don't talk as much for me tasteles is doing good he has the voice for commentary
With only 8 players it should be a round robin, every player fights everybody once, though the winner might become known before the end then. Other best one should be double elimination, this seems an unfair system where the later you get the play the more chance you have to win.
Holy balls. I don't want to come off as a snob, but here's my rant- I guess I should applaud the effort & $ that went into this, to help "bring attention" to the fgc, but this whole thing just felt wrong. I mean it was dumbed down so bad. I think anyone watching this has seen many many matches, & doesn't need it simplified. Maybe that is just my SF obsession talking though. And that Tasteless- OMFG for real. Dude- stick to the Starcraft if that's your thing. When watching the Xian vs Mike Ross set I almost committed suicide after hearing him repeatedly say "Jen" instead of "Gen!!!!" Each time I CRINGED!!!! but ok- I will watch all of these. But for the love of GOD can we replace Tastless?! I PRAY that somehow the lords of commentating James Chen, Grahm, Killian, or someone like Skisonic can get on the mike.
I'm not understanding the format of this. So they can win more money based on how many matches they win. But what happens if someone continues winning, and then loses to his last opponent? Does that opponent now have to basically restart his run to try and beat everyone else? Seems unfair if the last guy remaining could just win 1 set and take all the money, while the other guy had to beat everyone else.
Tasteless literally said nothing of any value during the match; just listen. Throughout the match his "commentary" consisted of loudly agreeing with Gootecks ("YEP. YEAH. YEAH. "), stating the obvious about non Street Fighter specific tournament scoring and mentality ("THAT COULD HAVE BEEN 3-2 NOW. BUT IT'S 5-1NOW.), and attempting to ad lib on a game he very well may have never played before in his life, judging from the appalling misinformation he tried to pass as casual knowledge ("SHE'S A FEW NORMALS FROM A CHIP." and who could forget "CAMMY SPIKE! "). It's not that his commentary is "mainstream" or "easier to follow, " it's literally empty talk, and any attempts to "state facts" are completely wrong. Get two experienced FGC commentators working as a team to be concise and informative for new Street Fighter viewers and knowledgeable about current events in meta game as well as FGC current events for fighting game fans. That's how you get people interested in the game. Anything is better than listening to Gootecks getting talked over by a bro overreacting to an ultra combo.
Anyone know how good Alioune is compared to Xiao Hai and KBrad? I don't watch him much so I can't gauge his skill compared to his fellow Cammy players.
I like the idea of the show but please get a better commentator tasteless doesnt sound like he doesn't know too much on streetfighter, should have got one of the players to comentate. Interesting show though
+AtotehZ Many of the older Street Fighter players grew up playing the game on actual arcade machines, so using an arcade stick is second nature to them; adapting to another control scheme would actually be harder for them. Some people say the arcade analog stick offers the best consistency and accuracy, since it's not as easy to accidentally do jumps and whatnot, but it's really just personal preference.
Setsuna F. Seiei I think I'm just baffled at how long they continued to have arcades in Asia and the US. The older Street Fighter games didn't have 6 buttons, they didn't even have 4 aside from the stick. In Denmark we used Amiga and commadore by the time SF2 came out, but it was inferior to the keyboard controls even back then. The only player I've seen that might be older than me in the series is Infiltration(just checked, he is 1 year older)
AtotehZ Huh? Street Fighter has always had six buttons... Maybe you saw one of those pressure-pad setups, where the strength of the punch/kick was determined by how hard you mashed the button, so there were only 2. Arcades that couldn't afford the expensive pressure-pad setup (or thought it was too gimmicky?) bought the six button setup instead.
Would have rather seen more experienced street fighter commentators. James Chen, Ultra David? The dude on the right obviously is bullshitting, he has not idea what he's talking about.
Its so awkward when tasteless says "bodies him"
So annoying
Lol@ His combo was so long that he actually started to get life back.
For something with this much production they couldn't get a better commentator to team up with Gootecks?
*****
"He just doesn't know as much on streetfighter". Exactly. Get him outta there. Drop one of the escorts, pick up a better commentator.
***** "He just doesn't know as much on streetfighter." Yeah, that's exactly my point.
i found tasteless better than gootecks. gootecks rambles on a little 2 long. xian did a 26 combo and bootecks talked the whole way through while tasteless instincts kicked in to mention it
Bitch and moan more.

I want a stream of Infiltration's facial expressions. That guy is the best.
It's so laughable how hard they're trying to make competitive fighting games a mainstream thing.

This has been amazingly fun to watch.
I love how everyone wants to avoid Infiltration. I have a feeling Tokido and Daigo would want to play only him xD
Very refreshing way to broadcast this for people who may not be familiar with it. One really talkative commentator with an "Awe-struck" companion. It's a brilliant setup for newer FGC viewers.

thanks for the upload mate
This show NEEDS Haitani so badly. If one person can bring hype to a room full of 8 or 9 people, his Makoto can and will do it.
Why do they try to trick us about how many days they took to record this? ¬¬
I want this back! :(
omg please remove Tasteless !!!!
tasteless is doing fine imho.
man shut up, he is putting in a solid effort and over time he will improve with his knowledge and understanding of the game, have some respect you streamboar
Shouldn't have hired him if he didn't know the game.
toasted guy
Ok calm down he doesn't know you.
toasted guy A solid effort? Are you kidding me? This isn't a fucking tutorial, this is a serious show that ESGN has put money into.

Great win for Alioune.
I LOVE STREET FIGHTER!!!!!!!!! & 4 might be the greatest.
this looks legit and really cool
Love the format, but should have only one of each char. I understand having Tokido and Infiltration, but would be nice to have a Boxer or Gief
Why would anyone want to see Boxer or Gief?
I would watch fighting game show like this. It's fun.
Gootecks was a better commentator for experienced players AND new spectators
Gootecks was explaining why 2 bars is important for FADC
Gootecks was explaining how stun works
Gootecks talked about normals
Tasteless just agreed and followed everything he said and yes, l know Tasteless is unfamiliar w the game but instead of faking it like he somewhat knew what he was talking bout, example when Gen's Ultra did not work on a jump in Cammy the 2nd time and he goes 'l was use to seeing that work' when we all know he just saw it happen once earlier

If he asks questions about things he doesnt know, it'll answer the same questions that most people who are unfamiliar w Street Fighter will be asking

Tasteless made me cringe.
Wow that's pretty tight; I wonder how it would have been if Alioune hadn't trained for Xian beforehand.

I can't understand why people who not only don't play SSF4 but don't play fighting games would bother watching this.
'Gen has been killed by Cammy' xDD
tasteless is fine just give him time to grow and get better? ive heard way worse on commentary already within the FGC.
Sure there's worse commentary out there, but even the bad commentary out there is knowledgeable regarding match ups, frame data, setups, etc.
It's not a problem if one of the commentators is less knowledgeable if he sticks to a supporting role and giving the beginners point of view. It doesn't matter if he gets better and more knowledgeable in SF, he will never be up to par unless he switches to full time fighting games only, so he should just refrain from talking about the intricacies of the game altogether. As it stands however it's just annoying to listen to.
Tell us again how Gen can change fighting styles.
I think people completely miss the point of this. #1 It's not a traditional tournament. It's a GAME SHOW even down to spinning a wheel.

This show is missing a live audience to bring in some hype. Other than that, I like.
kick tasteless

4-1 "Xian is adapting well". Really Tasteless?
Intense match!
bottles of urine everywhere
but I'm glad that people are actually trying to pump production value and originality into something like an 8-man invitational
alioune vs xian was a good match I thought he was going to come back and win!
im not to bothered by the choice of commentators. Though if they wanted the most respected sf4 commentation duo they should've flown it Ultradavid and james chen. But I like tasteless, shame he is not experienced. Gootecks is good but I don't feel he handles well "on his own"
Xbox 360 pad - the best fighting game controller in the world ! We learn new stuff everyday.
Uh what? the 360 pad is generally regarded as the worst fighting game controller out there due to the awful D-pad.
phantomofakina It was a joke. I can't find right words to describe how very bad this pad is !
SCOOPARCADE and he is playing with the joystick of the pad !!! at least, i think in Vs fighting games, the crosspad is better (even if the crosspad on Xbox controllers sucks)
C A M M Y S P I K E ?
DAMN XIAN, WAI U DO DIS
LOL Tasteless needs to just cast SC2
the announcer opposite of gootecks get's too excited. he clearly has no idea what he's talking about. Muted!
Fight starts 4:25
They have a German shepard
cammy is one of my best characters too :P in fact I do well with most of the chicks...but cammy especially
For those who talk crap about tasteles as at commentary wth I only heard him talk & gootecks don't talk as much for me tasteles is doing good he has the voice for commentary

Get two experienced FGC commentators working as a team to be concise and informative for new Street Fighter viewers and knowledgeable about current events in meta game as well as FGC current events for fighting game fans. That's how you get people interested in the game.
Anything is better than listening to Gootecks getting talked over by a bro overreacting to an ultra combo.
Anyone know how good Alioune is compared to Xiao Hai and KBrad? I don't watch him much so I can't gauge his skill compared to his fellow Cammy players.
Sorry for the late answer. But he's on Xiao Hai's level but not on K-Brad's.
I like the idea of the show but please get a better commentator tasteless doesnt sound like he doesn't know too much on streetfighter, should have got one of the players to comentate. Interesting show though
fun....
aaaaAAAAaaaa E-SPORTS
so jokes that the black dude plays with a controller. Aint nobody got time fer joystick
Get rid of those bloody win poses. I cringe every time I see them.
Hngh dat harem tho...
These guys badly need to hire James Chen and the white guy. Gootecks is alright, but the other guy is annoying.
damn
a did any one see that ALioune is useing a xbox D pad
+Salima Algalany I've wondered why they're using the arcade setup at all. For me there would be too far between the buttons.
+AtotehZ Many of the older Street Fighter players grew up playing the game on actual arcade machines, so using an arcade stick is second nature to them; adapting to another control scheme would actually be harder for them.

Setsuna F. Seiei I think I'm just baffled at how long they continued to have arcades in Asia and the US. The older Street Fighter games didn't have 6 buttons, they didn't even have 4 aside from the stick.
In Denmark we used Amiga and commadore by the time SF2 came out, but it was inferior to the keyboard controls even back then.
The only player I've seen that might be older than me in the series is Infiltration(just checked, he is 1 year older)
AtotehZ Huh? Street Fighter has always had six buttons... Maybe you saw one of those pressure-pad setups, where the strength of the punch/kick was determined by how hard you mashed the button, so there were only 2. Arcades that couldn't afford the expensive pressure-pad setup (or thought it was too gimmicky?) bought the six button setup instead.
Would have rather seen more experienced street fighter commentators. James Chen, Ultra David? The dude on the right obviously is bullshitting, he has not idea what he's talking about.
Got to say Tasteless is horrible. I've been following his SC commentating but this is just...
