My EX got me a PS gift card which will give me at one more chance to do some final KOFXIV series before it comes time for KOFXV. My boy Geese Howard is already confirmed (on a technicality, based on the leaks). Most of favorites on in that game now.

 

I don't know what SF6 is going to reveal. Hopefully, Capcom doesn't get too many funny ideas in listening to certain fringe groups from the West. 

I really want to see what will happen post-3S. Like Gill actually getting his just desserts. Phantom Bison concept. A new villain. Etc... 

 

This year was... interesting to say the least. Marginally better than the last. I wish the best for the folks here. Including their families. 

 

Meanwhile, I am going to explore Rose's VTI, because I have this strangest feeling that I am missing out on some potentially better options for match longevity. I've watched a handful of Rose tutorials just a week before. 

That it was @Darc_Requiem's birthday! 
The man deserves a shoutout of all shoutouts! 

And, bless him for the holidays!

 

Happy Birthday, Darc! 

 

In addition, I'd like to give pay my respects to the folks here...

 

 

Meanwhile, I am going to reupload some more SFV vids. Just had to start off again. 

Max Dood... 

Isn't a KOF player. He only knows KOF because of CVS2 and he has a distinctive boner for Rock Howard specifically. 

The problem with Max Dood is that he has a bad habit of putting really bad takes or really surface-level/misguided commentary on his material, specifically when it concerns fighting games outside of Capcom. Obviously, the man *is* a Capcom shill. 

 

Not that anything is particularly wrong with that in of itself. Folks can like what they like. They can dislike what they dislike. 

It's the misinformation he puts out that irks the hell out of me. 

 

Let me get into the specifics. 

He tries to play DOA because Mai Shiranui is in it. Cool. 

So starts a stream for DOA5LR. 

 

Coincidently, my DOA peeps from FSD, like DestructionBomb, Emery, FoN, KasumiLover, and a few other folks who go to events and the rest of homies show up to the stream. 

 

Clearly, he is having a hard time. Either attempting to play it as if it were Tekken. Or, just making blatantly stupid mistakes otherwise. 

There is a tutorial mode available. He passes it over, despite outright telling the chat that he does not know what he is doing. 

 

Myself and almost everyone from FSD was literally screaming at him that we were there to teach him and play him online in a lobby. 

Even his own base was telling him that there was "Tutorial" mode. Instead, he just keeps talking shit like an idiot. 

 

In addition. In regards to KOF, he has been known for making really suspect comments about KOF. 

Recently, he *just* discovered* that Chris' walking animation pays homage to the Moonwalk. Even people that *don't* play KOF at least know about Chris. 

He was an infamous character from the franchise who turns out to be a catalyst for the final boss of KOF97, Orochi. Not only that, but Chris *often* ends up being top tier in a lot of the KOF games he shows up in, 98 being the more notorious example. Not just for his tools, but also his secondary form, and the general properties of his own normals (like his jCD). 

 

Most people (specifically in the FGC) are *somewhat* aware of this, even if they don't necessarily play KOF, or at least heard of it if they've been around the FG block for more than 20 years. Yet, somehow Max was unaware of Chris, even on a basic level. 

His KOF game play is marginally above average. Very marginally. And yet he still makes a lot of suspect (and potentially hypocritical, if his "insights" towards Shermie or Angel are to be taken seriously) comments that give his base the wrong kind of impression towards the franchise. Then, of course, the occasional misguidance on KOFXIV and his constant comparison to KOFXIII, which is the game he (apparently) started on before. Folks asking some Capcom shill such as Max for advice on KOF, is like trying to ask Rip from the Tekken community on how Virtua Fighter, Street Fighter, or DOA is supposed to play at a higher level. 

You... don't... *do* that. Anyone with comments knows that this is not going to work. 

If I seek advice on Street Fighter V? There is no way in hell I ask someone like Rip for that sort of thing. Because he doesn't *really* play SF. I would ask experts or people highly familiar with SFV. Like @Darc_Requiem, @Skortor pretty much anyone else on this forum. Because they understand the intricacies and nuances of SFV. So listening to them is always a better idea. 

 

This may sound a bit long-winded and just me shit-talking but it is just a number of things I notice. 
Max... frankly needs to simply stay in his lane. This is not me necessarily trying to gatekeep people from KOF (because that would be detrimental from a certain perspective). But, Max isn't necessarily helping anyone with his constant meandering about and blathering on the subject of KOF, especially when it is made very clear he has no clue what he is actually talking about. 

Hey guys. 

 

I have to build my youtube back up again. Luckily I saved a good portion of my old tutorials and match videos from the last ten years ago, so I'll have to reupload them to another channel. 

 

Evidently, uploading FFVIIRE stuff is cardinal sin to some folks. 

 

I genuinely hope everyone is doing okay for this holiday! I really apologize for not posting lately. 

 

Everyone is getting Shermie'd. And, I mean... *everyone.*
