DarksydePhil / TheyCallMeDSP / Phil Burnell: General Discussion #2

[UncleTusky]

So I recently went through the FF6 Pixel Remaster myself and it took me just over 20 hours to 100% it. How long do we think it'll take DSP to just beat it normally?

It took me about 37 hours to get all trophies except items and bestiary (got about 80-90% of those) and Gambler's Death (don't think I even tried to do that RNG mess until my second time through). With how much exploration some of the other trophies took I'd guesstimate the time for me to platinum the game in one run would be ~40 hours.

So Phil would probably take ~100-125 hours, maybe 150 or even 200 if he's trying to draw things out. Since he will back burner the game as donations slow down this will spill into 2027 if he doesn't wagequit sooner.

Then there are the glitches: I have seen posts complaining that the 100% item trophies do not pop even after multiple runs. I haven't seen it myself in FFVI but I have seen it in the FFV pixel remaster (definitely same devs and almost certainly same/very similar engine) so it could definitely hit Phil as well. My second run to get 100% items took about 20 hours even with boosted XP/ABP and skipping everything I did not need for those trophies, so Phil would need 40-50 hours in a second run to get a missed/glitched trophy for a total of 140-plus hours.

ETA: In addition to the glitch there are at least three (bestiary + exploration + magicite) missable trophies; the magicite one is hard to miss but DSP is inept enough to pull it off. We could ve in for a bumpy ride if he tries to 100% the game. Then there are things like 100% lore (the game's term for Blue Magic) collection that are part of 'completion' despite not having a trophy attached.

On topic, DSP fake fanning things is always so entertaining. I played ff8 once, when I was a kid, 15 years ago. I instantly reconginze who Quehastash Trhaphe was.

Phil doesn't know enough about anything to even be a fake fan. What he's actually apeing is the experience of looking over the shoulder of your brother who's playing a game you've never heard of with completely unfamiliar characters, then 20 years later claiming that you loved that game (that you didn't play or understand). That's his level of cognition, truly level 1 stuff.

 

[Do Not Touch Me Pls]

Why does he say “I don’t know why I’m getting hit, I’m not doing anything”? That’s why you’re getting hit, Phil.

I think he does this when he's (supposedly) getting countered while not even attacking. Aside that he was very clearly either mashing jab or his reflexes or hand-eye coordination is like a dead dog's.

 

[DarkFuhDillz]

Yeah what causes that? I've also noticed how his voice has been changing, even between my last watch a yearish ago and now. It's gotten so much more nasally and has this weird pitch to it now.
Is it the post nasal drip?

He uses filters. It’s also from alcohol and throwing up damages your esophagus. I learned that the hard way.

Yeah. Phail used this excuse all the time playing SF6.

"I'm not doing anything! Hits me anyway. Why did you hit me? I'm not even doing anything."
*Counter Hit*
*Punish Counter*
"Look! I'm not pressing anything!" *holds controller off camera* "Unbelievable. This guy's a no load loser scrub."

 

[QwahlityKahntent]

Which just means three times the shit of course because they're all terrible but any rating at all is overrated.

Lightning returns was actually pretty decent

 

[LieLieFyre]

All FF games are boring.

 

[BPD Gunt Rider]

Let me combine my autism to yours, ff13 is grossly underrated. I know putting the game on rails for the first 2/3rds was disliked. But the game play trys to mirror the story there.

It's assumed space to fit the full game on disk and time constraints greatly limited the first 2/3s of FF13 into NARROW HALLWAYS. I tend to believe that because reading the log in the game, there's so much stuff they never even touched on in the game that I'm sure they wanted to.

FF13 is my "what could have been" game. It was released so incomplete and things were wasted. The battle system is honestly really good... but, you never need to use it outside of post-game battles. And then 13-2 went too far the other way, and added Pokemon monster catching for some reason.

 

[Malcolm X]

Phil here tells us he can ABSOLUTELY tell the difference between a 6 frame and a 4 frame just by ear.

DSP, former pro fighting game player who was the top non-Jap white North American at EVO 2004, can't play in any match with more than 40ms latency because he can't reACK to his opponent's moos. Okay, the fastest possible human reaction time is about 100ms, but DSP (prahbably one of the best overall gamers in the country) has superhuman reaction times, so he can reACK faster than the literal blink of an eye (also about 100ms). He only loses to SCRUBS who mash JAYUB in LAG, which are unBLAHKable even though he is DOWNBACKING and NOT DOING ANYTHING. DSP, you see, is too SKILLED to mash jayub, and that's why he can't beat SCRUBS who SUCK and DON'T KNOW HOW TO PLAY FIGHTING GAMES. Mahdern fighting games are bad because SCRUBS can MASH JAYUB while PROS like DSP can't reACK to their moos, and so he CAN'T DO ANYTHING while everything the scrubs do is UNEARNED.

 

[SensesFail]

The best thing about Phil playing
any fighting game is he's washed as hell.
No longer can he live in the glory days of his youth
at the arcade. He's slowing down, becoming more fragile
as the years press on. Those reaction speeds aren't what they used
to be, ain't that right Pigler? You're competing with the new generation
of FGC players. T he asian kid who's 10 years old beating your ass
like it's nothing and he's just labbing, you're a practice run, a warm up.

Best part is, you'll be begging hand to mouth
like this for the rest of your days piggy.
No retirement in sight for you and no savings.
I can't wait for the arthritis to kick in during his late 50's
and he'll still blame his shitty internet. Never change Pig. Never change.

Phil is still decent at fighting games and most trolls can't beat him. People like raw playing cammy or other trolls took time and skill to do, a newbie can't touch phil,
And I know thats not what you said, but what fucks him up is his own expectations.
One hit and hes in that spiral of complain - lose focus - blame the other guy - next match. And it all goes the same way unless he wins.

Some might think this was always the same, but go back 5-7 years and yeah, he didn't sound as mad or misantrophic. He's legit dooming like you said, but age is not the main issue.
He wants to be so much above the level of others because "fighting games are what hes actually good at", and this ego is what fucks him.

If he legit tried to have patience with the game - and himself - he could improve. But if he could do that, he wouldn't be a lolcow, so.....

You’re partially right, but as somebody who watched something like MVC2 (and to a lesser extent CVS3), he’s trash and he benefits from a lot of other players also being trash.

I’d compare him to the people who enjoyed “pub stomping” in COD that hate SBMM because it eventually puts them in a more skilled lobby and exposes that they’re not as good as they think. Phil currently is better than casuals and can beat more average to above average people if they make a mistake or have a severe disadvantage in a matchup. That’s why his win rate hovers around 50-60% at best.

He often plays Magneto lead teams in MVC2 and he’s so absolutely trash at that game that he often loses Magneto within 10-15 seconds and barely touches the other player. The only times he gets a win in that game is when he plays a casual/average player or plays somebody that doesn’t know that BB Hood has a super that does massive damage or that Tron Bonne’s assist also does the same. The second he plays somebody who knows how to skillfully use assists or punish his, he’s fucked.

Same goes for SF6. I’d say casuals don’t know how to beat some of the lower tiers because they don’t see them much, not to mention Phil finds a technique that he can spam and spams it, so a casual might not know how to counter Blanka ball spam, but people with a pulse do. Not to mention, Phil played the game for probably more time than most people (easily close to 700-1000 hours), so the fact that he never learned how to counter the top tiers should say everything you need to know.

Oh and even if he was slightly better 10, 20 years ago, back then he was a bigger cheese player, literally running to Vega in SF2 or Blanka in CVS3 or Sentinel/Storm teams in MVC2. And he never won shit. Nothing wrong with being slightly better than average, but he’s the 1-1.5 K/D COD player who thinks he’s hot shit because he stomps the 0.5 K/D people with no pulse with ease.

 

[Tsoliassssssssssssss]

Phil is still decent at fighting games... took time and skill to do...

no he is not. He doesn't know +- frames, counters, he can't reliably execute combos, his sf6 gameplay is the same patterns since the release of the game, he is blocking while pushing action buttons (this is his frustration when he whines "I was blawcking"), he can't even advance from scrubcore, let alone struggling for weeks and months to reach master with some of the characters.
Check one of j. wong's stream. These are both oldfarts in SF. JWong plays sf while reading chat and replying to chat, it's a second nature to him.
Phail struggles while playing sf, any sf.

Also no on the second part. PoP was playing 6 months and he beat phail in 3/4 of the games they matched together. PoP playted cammy, according to him, because she has a nice ass, not because she is a counter pick to anyone phil plays.

Please correct me or educate me on that. I did some search 1-2 years ago, when phil was still playing sf6, because I saw a few former competitors to phil who claimed the same and the statements didn't reflect what I saw.
I saw phil playing some broken and mostly top tier characters, i.e. bison, t hawk, sagat, blanka, vega in those older games, he peaked once at 4rth place on a very special ocassion with a game everyone shits upon, he didn't have multiple years being up there.
This reminds me the 2005 USA F1 grand prix

The 2005 United States Grand Prix (Indianapolis Motor Speedway, June 19, 2005) — 14 teams’ cars did not start because of safety concerns with Michelin tires. Only the teams running Bridgestone tires (6 cars) started.

If phil participated in the USA 2005 grand prix with his shitbox, he would have been 7th place.

If you show someone phil's gameplay of sf and tell him that this guy plays this game for 30 years, they won't believe you.

 

[Big Brown Schlub]

Regarding the new fighting game sperging. Yeah, he's completely washed now. You could legitimately call him decent way back in the day but now I'd barely even call him a scrub wall. Regarding PoP, Cammy has either a bad or even matchup with all of Phail's mains, yet he spanked Phail regularly, not to mention Phail has overall a 5% winrate against Cammies. 5%. Against a character where he has an even matchup at worst.
Tyler1 reached 1.7k MR in SF6 and I've never seen that retard whiff punish once. The fact that Phail couldn't hit 1.7k with better characters speaks volumes on how far he's fallen.

 

[SwiftBucks]

Yeah what causes that? I've also noticed how his voice has been changing, even between my last watch a yearish ago and now. It's gotten so much more nasally and has this weird pitch to it now.
Is it the post nasal drip?

Actually from isolation. You can develop speech impediments and irregularities by never talking to anyone. Your brain will do things like pitch correct by mirroring others. If you are completely alone, there's no way to know what's normal, no way for you to gauge how you should talk. It's also probably why he butchers sayings all the time.

Miserable and unloved. Cognition failing. Shitting in diapers. How can one not be jealous of this man and his winning ways?

 

[Balr0g]

Also no on the second part. PoP was playing 6 months and he beat phail in 3/4 of the games they matched together. PoP playted cammy, according to him, because she has a nice ass, not because she is a counter pick to anyone phil plays.

Also PoP started playing other characters down the line. He managed to bring Mai to Master rank and I think he managed to do that with Aki as well. And who knows which other charatcers he brought to Masters. And unlike Phil he also has a little kid now.

 

[HorseWifeAppreciator]

Imagine being Dave and Linda and waking up every morning knowing that your one successful attempt at reproduction spawned Phil.

He's also using his new mic completely incorrectly which fucks up his audio.
