Good matches. Those post match poses are still beautifully awkward.

Playing on pad isn't a disadvantage. He's one of the three best players in Europe and he's playing the best character in the game, of course he could beat anybody in the world if he plays well.

Please stop saying caster it's not a real word there's already a word for commentators it's commentator maybe you've heard of it, it doesn't have anything to do with wizards tho

Dear lord, Tasteless' commentary on fighting games is AWFUL. He obviously knows next to nothing about the games and says random words he's picked up from his 2 hours of research. He's like the people I work with when talking about computers.

He's not very knowleageble about competitive SF4 but he's definitely been enjoying casual fighting game for years. I remember about 3 years ago Day9 was doing a daily he made a joke about how Tasteless played Blanka because it was the only character that could use cannons.  Day9 also used to use the nick "Striderdoom" and loves MvC2, so they're both not entirely unfamiliar with fighting games.

Being "familiar" with fighting games doesn't make you a good commentator. I'm probably MORE familiar than Tasteless (I know it's Gen, not Jen) and I still wouldn't commentate at KiT because I knew I didn't know enough.

Tasteless was at least learning and improving a little between episodes though. That's good enough for me.

Gen might need to trip her to stand a chance. Oh with a sweet divekick and she's bodied, nice keepaway Jen! Good deflection on the grab by Cammy.

The problem is Gootecks who keeps derailing and tasteless is honestly trying to pay attention to the game. Get someone like...I dunno, Combofiend. gently caress, I'd even take Magus. Maybe.

Explaining things for new players is important and I'm glad gootecks tries to do it even if he's not the most efficient at it.

Yeah, he's known for being a Starcraft guy but he does play and like Street Fighter. He's probably being used because he's he's pretty established and they trust him to keep things smooth and professional.
