I know only top 8 will be streamed and I don't know if this is actually doable but if someone is able to record the pool games and upload them after that would be pretty cool
Finally watched part of top 8, couple of things:
Wub yoo Kai, but I second this.
Your game knowledge is pretty lacking, or at least it doesn't show in this commentary. I don't feel like you really understand or articulate why players do things, which kinda connects to my fourth point. You don't talk about match-up related stuff with characters and i dont know if its because you dont have the game knowledge off the back of your head or because you just choose not to, but talking about what the matchup looks like on paper and then later connecting how the players adjust to the matchup is always really interesting.
This is actually why I liked pairing up with Taluda on commentary back in the day, and also why I went with Dhoppler and Peanuts (who were, funnily enough, my backups for each other in case one of them didn't make top 8), because I felt their natural inclination to speak on the technical was a good counterbalance to my own style.
I know I told him that. Boy don't listen.
No, it was all part of an elaborate ruse by the Melty Blood community to get everyone to come out and watch their grand finals.
As I said during NEC, I think it's required watching for anybody who wants to commentate SG2E that they watch Marvel vs. Capcom 2: The Movie. Dolfinh already offered 99% of the advice I was going to offer, but if you want a good inspiration the video is there.This is actually why I liked pairing up with Taluda on commentary back in the day, and also why I went with Dhoppler and Peanuts (who were, funnily enough, my backups for each other in case one of them didn't make top 8), because I felt their natural inclination to speak on the technical was a good counterbalance to my own style.
I know the game, and I know the matchups, though I admit that I intuit much of that. I could always know them better, though, and I could certainly increase the frequency and specificity with which I talk about them on commentary. I will make that my primary focus of improvement.
Don't even act like you do that on purpose.
