Holy crap that was fun. It was a tiny venue I think 16 people total but being on stream with one of my best friends made it a hell of a night, and I am definitely coming back. They even invited me to be on mic again next month!

Also, how the hell did my scrubby ass make it to Losers Semis in Mortal Kombat?

I still shouldnt have gone that far!

Tbf almost everyone there was mainly a Tekken player, and I am definitely not touching that without going in the lab for a month.

The VOD if anyone wants to see my partial-cringe at commentary. It was my first time out, and I didnt even expect to be doing it until I walked in the door and they asked me if I could be the number two, but I definitely want to do it again.

I am the guy in the hat.

i don't mean to be a tough crowd. I just know that a lot of early commentators use that + fake yuuuuuuuul hype to substitute for actual analysis. not saying you need to be doing that for a 16 person tourney but

For MK and SF I did as much as I could I dont know shit about Tekken but part of me posting the VOD here was for actual feedback (Aecioos hat rage notwithstanding). I am sure at least one person here has actual experience on this kind of thing, and I would like to be better the next time around since I will actually have time to practice and prep a bit.

...Yeah, I should have put that message when I posted the link, but oh well.

keep wearing the hat if you like it.

informative casters are better than casters who overreact to everything that happens.

don't worry too much about doing a perfect job. it's not like you're at some major worldwide or even national event, it's just a small thing. do the best job that you can do. if you do a good job, probably nobody will notice.

if you had done a bad job they likely wouldn't have asked you to come back.
