[@tre-moon-dous6122]

There’s a reason why RIP and TastySteve sync so well as commentators. They actually listen to each other and take turns between each of their respective commentaries. Same goes with RIP and Markman. Of course there are hype moments when both talk at the same time

[@wimblesbimbles8865]

learn when to talk in the exact same way you learn to play tekken just fuggin keep playing

Lmao the in sync "SHE DUCKED" at 8:04 from Brawl and the commentator was just too perfect lol (edit: Straight sounded like Gogeta for a second lol)

[@georgej9366]

arslan fanboys mad in the comments everywhere, talking bout " he wasnt serious" ,"he was playing a lotta games" but when 38 yr old knee loses its " this guy washed " lol bro get outta here

[@ShaunInce123]

That's the main reason why people root against the Pakistan players, their fanboys set impossibly high standards for them & then they downplay or make excuses for them when they lose. SpaghettiRip was discussing this on his stream last night & he said the same thing.

[@noobjtb33]

[@user-friendly-.]

Well the thing is you US fan boys are always bi@tching about EU and calling Pakistan Fluckistan in almost every tekken stream and when someone comes along and beat the f*ck outta your players you start throwing insults at their name and when their fans gives you the taste of your own medicine you get personal and offended by that. Typical entitled American behavior.

[@blackjam2683]

It makes me happy that Phidx and Kkoma were actually punishing Kuni's dash ins and stickin close.

[@jitters6604]

Its also the first time i’ve seen people start sidestepping SET 2. People have been doing their homework, and Arslan needs to readjust his gameplan to see how to deal with that. I don’t think the fake dash is good against composed players

[@joshbeverly4290]

​@jitters6604 when did he sidestep set 2? Its a homing move so idk how they would do that

[@BandaiSCUM]

0:51 - Neutral. Four dash blocks to get in. Arslan jabs and whiffs at range 1 (Not a panic jab) 0:58 - One dash D/F+1 no reaction 1:04 - Neutral. Arslan 4 dashes away. FF+1+2 does not counter hit. 1:07 - One dash into the low (Arslan takes turn back not worrying about extension) 1:11 - Sidestep Low. Arslan ducks anticipating the high and still goes for the hopkick even though there is no visual confirmation of the high whiffing. (Lets get our counter hits) 1:13 - Punish hopkick and dash block twice before Arslan challenges sooner when grounded and/or in minus 1:49 - Plus frames. Two dash blocks. Power crush/homing from Arslan. PHIDX punish. The dash blocking awareness is soo sick! Love the balls on PHIDX!

[@goiflin5056]

You get commentators to stop talking over eachother by actually getting them to commentate with eachother specifically, a lot. From that point they'll know who is going to call plays like that, or who will analyze decisions or whatever. Plus they can then develop enough chemistry to actually be entertaining when they have to fill dead air time. also phidx da goat

[@Jacev_]

Yeah they just need time to build that chemistry. And iambic is fairly new (compared to the others) when it comes to commentating big events like CEO etc. Whereas Tasty Steve, Markman, Rip, MYK - guys like that have not only commentated together numerous times but they've known each other for 15-20 years plus. While I'm not personally a fan of iambic - I'm sure if given a chance to develop and build that chemistry with the rest of them, she'll do just fine.

[@jitters6604]

Generally, commentators dictate who’s doing color & play-by-play. If commentators are stepping on each other’s toes, it’s an indication of inexperience commentating with each other. But usually when something hype happens, both commentators will make an exclamation to let the audience know that something hype happens

[@ShaunInce123]

The most unexpected upset during the whole tournament. Very convincing too.

[@RivalFaust]

Very convincing 2-0 and at the infinite stage no less, gotta love the humbling beat downs

[@twoshirts1842]

1:40 thats something i think just comes with feel and chemistry between commentators. Professional sports try to get a more energetic feel commentator with a more by the book play by play guy/girl. I also think 3 people on commentary is too much. It either leaves someone never talking or people constantly talking over each other.

[@azharali2764]

Such a good game against Arslan. I hope they'll see eachother again. It's just one game

This tournament featured some nice revelations from the US. PHIDX stood out and I also loved the Xiao player Darty (?) can't remember her name.

[@FigAndFriends]

1:30 In League of Legends, I heard their commentators tap the table when they have something they want to say or point out. Signals like that will help a lot in giving everyone their voice, but League is a much slower game than fighting games, so I'm not sure if it'll really work for us

Answer to your question in the beginning. In professional commentaries, there are 2 speakers. The Play by play commentator and the analyst. Both roles created for one to lead, and the other to break down situations etc

I'm so happy for phi he's been grinding a lot

[@KulaGGin]

1:29 _"How to figure out how to not speak over each other?"_ Have visual queues for each other for when you want to start speaking. So like one commentator speaks and the other instead of starting to talk immediately presses a button and his light turns on. The other person sees it, they stop talking when they're finished and the second they do it, they know that the other guy wants to start talking, and so the other guy talks. Now, this might sound like it wouldn't work, but look how professional chess player do it, it's exactly the system professional chess players use in the Blitz Chess: they can make 5 moves in 5 seconds sometimes.

you need to KNOW your commentator friend like KNOW the very first time i ever saw FOUR commentators at a time was at strong style & they all knew one another. they know their rythm

[@hiramhankins4174]

Dope set. Was kof and sfg going on at the same time?

[@cyberathlete]

The girl commentator doesn't bring much to the commentary. She sometimes repeats what the other commentator says, doesn't bring anything analytical to the commentary. She can throw out a few tech terms to make it sound like she's smart. But the main reason for talking over another commentator is to run with what the other person is saying so it looks like you are also bringing something to the table.

[@jovialnobody]

I understand where that comes from on her part but I still agree with you. Overall, the male commentators looked like they're a lot more comfortable around each other, I think it has to do with people in general being more at ease with others of the same sex and also already having some chemistry, she didn't have that with either of the male commentators.

[@1990Thunderbolt]

this was like the panthers upset the record setting regular season bruins team!

[@sO_RoNerY]

People just gotta learn how Ash plays and he’s easy peasy. He will appear like everyone else who’s good or really good at Tekken 7. Part of the people that you win some and lose some.

The same kind of upset happened last year at EVO Vegas where Arslan got beaten by a Chole player and just a month back he beat that same player 3-0. This was a master event and Arslan is at the top of the food chain in terms of points. So, this is a practice match for him. In my opinion, he went there to compete in SF 6 tournament and test himself out there.
