I guess my top 5 would be Yipes, Chris Matrix, Lee Chung, Aris, and Spooky.

She's fine as long as she's not with Nina or someone like James Chen. She's smart but easily distracted.

I used to think they were really bland, but then I noticed they do some pretty decent analysis, so I guess overall they're OK.

I think it's a habit that'd be negated if she got more time doing commentary, anyway. I just feel like her commentary is underappreciated because it's generally really solid. :)

More commentary chat:

I noticed with Justin Wong commentating on Marvel, he has started doing this thing where, if a player doesn't optimize a combo opportunity in the way he himself would, he gets a little bit upset/disappointed. It's kind of annoying.

for real tho justin is probably the best in terms of actually talking about whats going on/what people will do. he's uncanny with predicting the future. yipes has the best flavor commentary, so i'd probably combine them as my dream team.

Yeah, Justin Wong has this (awesome, btw, I don't hate it at all, and in fact, I love it) thing where he knows Marvel so much he can predict the future. Anybody have that video where Justin pretty much said what was going to happen in an entire round before it actually did?

He's been doing that for years. Look up the mvc2 Clockwork vs Neo match and he does the same thing. Some people find it unhype, but I really enjoy getting to see Justin's thought process. He seems to know exactly what the players are thinking and what they'll do next, in a way that's a step or two ahead of anyone else watching. It helps explain why the dude wins so much.

It's not even just in Marvel, Justin Wong is secretly Joseph Joestar

It was NCR2k14 salty suite, I think. Drunk Floe and Drunk Justin got on the mic, completely ignored everything going on on stream, and instead spent about ten minutes where Justin tried his damndest to convince Floe to eat a slice of pizza.

Thanks to Twitch deleting archives, those glorious moments are now forever lost.
